Classic iPOD syncs but won't download???

I have an older classic photo 64gb iPOD. I am unable to download songs after it syncs with my iTune library. I have updated the ipod; I have rebooted the ipod;I have authorized the ipod for home sharing............ What next? Model number is A1099. Thanks for your help.

Automatic syncing is based on how you have the iPod's Music tab set up. Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. This tab is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod. Make sure Sync Music is checked.
If your entire iTunes Music library fits on your iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then, every change to your iTunes Music library should sync to the iPod, because "everything" is on the iPod.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, you create your selection of songs by selecting playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres. Apply the change to sync your selection to the iPod.
NOTE: Your iPod's current content will be replaced by your song selection on the Music tab, when you click Apply.
Songs that are NOT included in your selection on the Music tab will not sync to the iPod.

I have a download waiting for my new ipod touch, and whenever I press update, on the computer, it says downloading, time remaining 10hrs,however, on my ipod, it doesn't even show up. It syncs, but won't download anything. What to do?

I am having problems with updating and downloading from my mac to my ipod, won't download at all. any advice?

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:

HT1386 my music is showing on my iphone, but won't download ???

my music is showing on my iphone, but won't download ???

Are you talking about two different devices? If the music is on the phone and youcan access it from the Music app, then you can listen to it. If the music is not on the phone but on the iPod and you want it on the phone, then you would have to sync the phone to the same library the iPod is synced to.

Bought 5 new songs on itunes . ipod syncs but the new songs don't show up on the play list that is on the ipod . the do appear on itunes library. what am i doing wrong ?

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?

Try syncing using the manual method

Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:

My iPod syncs, but doesn't save ANYTHING on the iPod

Basically, my iPod syncs, but doesn't save ANYTHING on the iPod, its the first iPod I have used and it really annoys me... I have tried pretty much everything :@
Help?!

Hello JellyPopJade,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How do you have your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library? Automatically or do you manually manage its contents by dragging what you would like from your library to the iPod.
If you have it set to automatically sync all checked songs and videos, make sure each track you wish to sync to your iPod is checked within your iTunes library.
Under the Summary tab for your iPod, is there any space taken of by the "Other" category (orange)?

My nano ipod 7 gen will not be recognized by itunes but my classic ipod syncs just fine

my nano ipod 7 generation will not sync or be recognized. it says it detects an ipod but cannot be recognized. i have an ipod classic that syncs just fine. why will my nano not be recognized? it is a new computer and i have done everything it has asked in the help section. nothing works?

In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. It does not appear there, when you connect the nano?
If not...
it says it detects an ipod
Where does it say the iPod is detected?

Need Ipod Update but won't update!

My itunes and ipod say that i need the latest ipod update software which i downloaded and installed, however it won't update on my ipod now i can't put new music from the music store on my ipod.....i don't know how to get the latest software update on my ipod i won't work
HELP!

Steve,
It sounds like you are having the same problem as me, I found this suggestion in another discussion and it worked...
Download the update, but skip using the Installer...
"...get around it by going to Applications -> Utilities -> iPod Software Updater and install version 2.3 of the iPod software directly, without the install package.
Before that, trying to copy purchased music to the iPod (since iTunes 5) failed with the "iPod software too old" message, and when we tried to install the package for the 2005-09-23 updater, it said the iPod couldn't be updated because it needed OS 10.2.8 or higher (we're on 10.4.2). But by executing the updater from the folder above, we saw that version 2.2 was installed on the iPod, and clicking "Update" after launching the updater directly got us to version 2.3 of the iPod software. Then we were able to transfer newly purchased music to the iPod again."

HT1386 ipod syncs but doesnt update new songs from the library to the ipod

I had problems syncing my ipod touch, a message appeared on the computer, which said the itunes program was corrupted/damaged so it advised to reinstall itunes, which i did. This wiped my library from the computer. When i connected the ipod to the computer it said it is was syncing, but no data got transfered either from the ipod to the computer or visa versa. My ipod still retains its songs/apps etc.

Classic ipod sync to new mac

I have an ipod classic and the computer I set it up to itunes on no longer exists! I have a new itunes library set up on my mac full of mostly purchased stuff.
how can I import or sync the 1000 songs + from my classic ipod into itunes along side my purchase so my purchases can be synced to my ipod?

Ipod "Syncs" but doesn't add new music

My ipod has always worked perfectly fine with my computer and itunes. Yesterday I added a new mixCD to my itunes and tried to sync it with my ipod. My ipod shows up in the sidebar, and goes through a "sync" process, but hasn't added the new music.
Additionally I tested my ipod's syncing abilities by changing the name of a song on my itunes. This song is already on my ipod touch, so if it synced properly, the name should change. I hit "sync" but name did not change and my new music remained missing on my ipod.
Does anyone have any idea what this problem might be? I feel like it's probably something very minor I'm just not understanding.
PS I have a second gen Ipod touch, but have yet to update it, could this be the problem?

See if your Touch is set for "Manually manage music and video" (connect ot iTunes, look at the iPod's summary page). If so, then any changes you make in iTunes will not sync to the Touch -- that includes new music you add to iTunes, and changes you make to your library. If your iPod is in manual mode then you need to manually add new music, and if you change your library in any way you need to manually add the updated song(s) and delete the original version(s) on your Touch.
If you don't want your iPod in manual mode, un-check the "Manually manage music and video" option in iTunes and click the Apply button. You will then be able to synchronize your Touch to iTunes.
