Cannot sync my new ipod please help

Replaced my Ipod Touch and cannot sync on computer. Anyone have instructions or can tell me how to do it I appreciate it.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Trouble with sync'ing new iPod, please help!

So I jsut spent the last hour plus on the phone with Apple, and the problem I'm having is that I need to Microsoft XP Service Pack 3 installed for iTunes to work with the new nano. The snag is that I'm using my work computer and it won't let me install that new service pack (I'm currently using service pack 2). Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anyway I can get the new nano to work with service pack 2? I just bought this yesterday so I don't want to bring it back unless I have to.

You need administrator privileges to install service pack 3. If you are not the administrator, i suggest that you talk to someone who is. You said that this is your work computer. Is it on a network? Do you have an IT guy who can help you? Sorry that i cant be of much help, but you need to elaborate the problem.

I have over 600 songs, but will only sync 200 to ipod please help

Hey jt14,
Thanks for the question. I found an article that goes over several reasons why your songs in iTunes might not be copying to your iPod:

If none of those solutions apply, I would run through the recommended syncing steps outlined in the following article, and check and see if you're following the manual or automatic syncing process:

I cannot download my old itunes library to my new ipod - please help!!!!

Unfortunately in August 2006 someone nicked my Ipod mini - thanks! So my insurance co. replaced it with an ipod nano. I've installed the new software disk that came with my ipod nano and hooked up with the old itunes library to my new ipod nano. Simple huh? Not likely. It says I have too many tunes in my itunes library to download to my new ipod. However the mini and nano are both the same size -4G so why now is it telling my I have too many songs to download to my ipod nano? I have even deselected some from the library but no luck. My old ipod mini was not full to capacity anyway? any ideas?
It could be that my current pc is not logged to the internet - AOL fault currently being sorted but surely that should not stop me updating my ipod? The tunes are in the library the new 4g ipod (allbeit a nano and not a mini as was) is connected yet the **** thing says I have too many tunes selcted to download WHEN I KNOW I DONT! Help......... please does anyone have a clue where i'm going wrong its driving my nuts!

Why not? What happens when you try?
Is the content selected to sync?

Old ipod 2 new ipod, please help!

Good evening friends,
I hope you are well. I am planning to get an 160GB ipod classic next week.
I currently have a 4th generation ipod (not colour screen) with about 8,000 songs on it. These songs are not on my computer as I manually update my ipod, this is because i use a work laptop and they constantly update it / change it and I am scared I lose my songs.
I am very worried about losing all my music on my ipod as it has taken me ages to put them all on, however I believe that there is no way to transfer these songs from the existing ipod to my new one??????
I have seen programs - ipod2ipod, etc are these any good?
I am leaving my work to go travelling and will be handing the laptop in soon so I am keen to transfer all music, pictures etc onto new ipod, but not store them on laptop?
I would be very grateful for your help? i am very scared!!!!!
Best Regards,
NJT

You can't transfer directly from one iPod to another so at least until you load the new one you'll have to copy the songs back to your computer. Once they are back in iTunes you can add them onto your new iPod.
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Albums syncing twice to ipod please help

When i download full albums from itunes it syncs twice to my ipod. I n laymans terms can somebody tell me how to delete them from my Ipod please?

How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually.
If it's automatically, you must reconfigure your settings (from under the Music and/or Summary tab) so that the album you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod. For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod. Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents (i.e, the Manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab), you must manually remove content from it. You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will open up a submenu of content, so go ahead and click on Music. Locate the track or tracks you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

New Ipod PLEASE help- skipping sings

This is what happens to me...I have tried the suggestions on the apple site but they don't work- I bought a new ipod bc this is what happened with my last one so I thought the ipod was the problem- but obviously it is something in itunes...Thanks so much for any suggestions!!!
Content you purchased from the iTunes Store won't play your on iPod. The content plays correctly in iTunes, and all non-purchased content (such as content imported from audio CD) plays normally on the iPod. The purchased songs' titles are visible on the iPod but appear to be skipped over without being played.

Big Problem with brand new iPod please help ME!!

Hi, I just today got a brand new iPod. I pluged it into my computer and put on about 700 songs immediatly. Then, I tried to put video on my iPod. It said it would not do this because it's not the right type of iPod. But it is a 5th Gen. iPod and it can play video. Anyway, I installed the latest iPod updater. Now, it says to install the new iTunes 6.01. So I tried but it says my disk is full. It is not full. Also, do I have to keep my previous "iPod for windows" files that are occupying space on my disk?

Kenny,
If you can back your songs up, and you have not rated a slew of them already, it might be a good idea to uninstall iTunes, then reinstall it and use the ipod updater to wipe the iPod. Just make sure you download and install 6.01 before you plug the iPod in. Maybe that will get you past the disk full problem. Just something to try.

Which songs are synced to my ipod, please help!

Earlier today i played my ipod and it had all the music on it i liked, this evening i added a few more songs to my itunes while my ipod nano was not connected. When i went to sync them together to add on my new songs, my itunes said something about being synced to another itunes and if i wanted to sync my origonal music, i ticked this box thinking it would still have all the music on i payed for and the songs i downloaded. Instead it came up with lodes of old songs that i deleted ages ago. I was thinking it may of been synced to another itunes a while ago and this has happaned before but i did the right thing then. I just really want the music back I have payed for and cant seem to get them by going to the store menu for some reasoon? please help

Your music will only be where you put it. it should be on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.

I'm having this problem too. Don't know the answer yet.

New iPod - Please help

I am good at technology, but this iPod is driving me crazy. When I plug it in to the computer, all I get is a flashing "Do Not Disconnect." What am I doing wrong? It won't stop flashing until I eject the iPod which really isn't what I want to do. I want to add some songs.
Also, is there a good book I can buy ...like iPod for Dummies. I downloaded the manual but, like all Apple manuals, I can't figure it out. The tutorial didn't help, either.
I am completely frustrated with this thing.

The Do Not Disconnect icon is completely normal, just install the iTunes software and start managing your ipod (it cannot be used while connected to the computer and can be managed via iTunes only!)

A Few Questions/Problems With My New iPod *PLEASE HELP*

Hello! I just received my first iPod (4th Gen, 4GB, Red Nano) two days ago (Christmas Eve) and have so far been fairly happy with it. However, I'm experiencing a few problems with it and am hoping that someone could help me.
Firstly, a few of the album covers on my iPod are just black squares. I've read other complaints about this on the forums, but haven't seen any solutions. What can I do to fix this?
Second, I can't figure out how to put my songs in order. On iTunes, it allows me to put songs in alphabetical order, but being that most of my songs are part of full albums, I want my songs to be in the order of when they play on the actual albums. When I try to drag my songs into their correct places, I'm not able to.
Also, is there any way to delete the games that my iPod came with? I think they might be taking up too much room for my liking...
OK, well if you can help or add some extra tips to getting started with my iPod, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Bump...

Cannot update songs into ipod, please help.

Hello,
Thank you for your time in advance.
I have updated my iTunes and that is fine. However, I cannot update my iPOD update. There is a message, "iPOD Setup.Exe is not a valid Win 32 application."
I suspect that's why I cannot update my songs. I have tried everything for the last 4 hours, including restoring my ipod and my itunes, to no avail.
Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Thank you.

hmmmmm. it might be a good idea if you do a check through your PC for malware. that message is suspiciously similar to one folks can get as a result of a Pretty Park infection:
You Are Unable to Start a Program with an .exe File Extension
but if the PC seems clean, try downloading a fresh copy of the ipod updater installer. (that message can also sometimes show up if the installer file gets damaged during the download.)

When i hook my iphone up to my computer it says my phone is not started so i cannot sync songs onto it please help me some
