IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

Having a problem with iTunes 10.7 update and syncing songs to my iPhone 4

Can anybody help me out please. I just recently downloaded iTunes 10.7 and whenever I try to sync songs to my iPhone 4 it freezes for about 5 minutes. I go onto my phone to check if the songs have been synced and it says they're there, however, they won't play. Instead of the song name being in a black coloured font it's kind of in a white/grey coloured font and you can't do anything with them. Does anyone know what the problem is? I tried uninstalling iTunes then reinstalling it but that hasn't worked either. I've also tried to reset my phone to its default settings, although the same problem occurs.

Have you tried rebooting your computer?

My Ipod doesn't sync songs anymore, can anybody help me out with this?

Hi all. Yesterday i did a Recovery on my computer and that wiped everything clean off of my computer, including the Itune program that i downloaded. And now, every since i downloaded Itunes again, it won't sync songs into my Ipod anymore. When i would download a few songs into Itunes, I would press on the sync button a message comes up saying that my ipod is synced with another Itunes library and can only be synced with one at a time. This won't let me transfer the songs onto my ipod. When i tryed to sync my songs again another message pops up saying to 'erase and sync'. Meaning that in order for me to sync the new songs onto my ipod, then they are gonna erase all of my existing songs that is currently on my ipod already! I don't wanna do that. I thought about restoring my ipod but i'm afraid that that would erase all of my songs off of my ipod as well. What do i do? Help would really be appreciated. Thank you.

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the restored/rolled back PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new/different library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I am unable to copy or Sync songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone

I took a new IPhone 5 on the 2nd Nov in India; I am unable to copy or Sync songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone ( The IPhone symbol appears on my ITunes screen , But when I drag the songs my library to IPhone I am unable to Sync songs ) Can anyone help me with this issue and the main reason for me to take an IPhone 5 is for it would be handy for me during travelling as I can use it as IPod too

Connect your phone to itunes as you have been doing.
In the sidebar, select you phone and then on the main part of the iTunes window, select Music.
Check the Sync Music box and then you can either sync all music, or select the tracks/albums/artists/genres as you wish.
Once selected, at the bottom right on the maon iTunes window, select Sync.
Music will now be copied to you phone.

Possible bug in iTunes 10.6 - keeps re-syncing songs

I have several hundred MP3s of very old songs from the 1910s and 1920s which sync to my iPod without problems. When I acquired an iPhone 3GS with more limited capacity, I set iTunes to "convert higher bitrate songs to 128Kbps AAC". This worked fine under iTunes 10.5. Now that I have "upgraded" to 10.6, iTunes keeps re-syncing and re-converting some -- but not all -- of the higher bitrate songs. Apparently iTunes is flagging these songs for re-syncing, which takes hours since they all must be converted to 128Kbps.
I tried to detemine whether the file type, ID3 tags, sample rate, LAME encoder version, etc., were to blame. In all these cases the re-syncing occurred with some songs but not others. I then began to notice that the re-synced songs are monaural, single channel, while stereo songs do not keep re-syncing. As an experiment, I used the menu option "Convert to AAC" on one song. That song synced and then did not re-sync. Examining the original and converted files in Audacity showed that the conversion did not add a channel, but the bit depth changed from "32-bit float" to "16-bit PCM" and the bitrate went from 320 constant to 128 VBR. The menu option "Convert to iPod or iPhone version" is grayed out, and in any event I don't know what it does.
At this point I'm frustrated. I don't want to load up iTunes with duplicate songs, and I don't want to delete my higher bitrate files. I have no idea why iTunes should favor one file format and reject another.
Audacity can convert individual songs to dual channel but does not have a setting to batch-convert channels. I don't know of any other utility that will batch-convert single channel to dual channel; I tried Switch and Max, and while they have a setting to export stereo, they don't seem to convert mono to stereo (joint or otherwise).
Can anyone explain why this is occurring? Any suggestions for batch-convert utilities or other workarounds?

well, I couldn't wait till next week to sync the little ol' iPod again, so did it today today, and yes... the re-syncing problem is definitely caused by the monaural files. or rather, the fact that the syncing program in iTunes is configured in such a way that it keeps looking at these files as 'new' and in need of syncing, or something like that... so, if there's anybody out there who knows how to get this info to the right man at Apple, please don't keep us in the dark...
it probably is fixed easily, but before that happens it'll probably have to go through heaps of red tape... we'll sit it out 'till then, just sitting there, in our gloomy rooms, handling the mono to stereo thingies, doing our thing... sniff...lol
cheerio...

ITunes will not sync songs onto iPhone, troubleshooting methods not working

Simply put, songs will not download onto my iPhone. I have tried every method that I could think of to solve this:
-restarting phone and mac
-updating iTunes
-taking off all the music from the phone and redownloading
-rechecking the little check thing that says I want that song
-restoring my phone
-going onto the individual tab to sync and syncing from there(which leads to a whole other problem, because that deletes songs(story for another thread))
-manually dragging songs onto my phone icon dropbox thingy
-making sure the songs are the proper files
... and still nothing has worked.
When I go on my phone menu when its plugged into iTunes, and then go to the 'On Device' section, it shows that the songs are there, but they are faded out with this little circle thing next to them(I don't know if this is significant).
I'm at my wits end, I just don't know what to do. I don't understand why iTunes is refusing to do something as simple as sync songs.
Any ideas? Thank you for any help you can provide!

UPDATE:
I finally figured it out (though I'm not sure this counts as 'figuring it out').
So, what worked for me was unchecking the check box thing next to the song and syncing the phone. After the sync--behold!--, the songs were in my phone. I don't know if this is another glitch or not, but I'm running with it.
I wanted to post the answer so that other people who may have had this issue can hopefully resolve it.

Ipod Will not Sync - Songs skip wont play

Hi,
I am using windows vista 64 and ITunes 8.
Whenever I attempt to sync my music (especially LARGE play lists) iTunes will pause wait ages, even tho the ipod is already attached it will reattach itself (ie windows will ask again if I would like to use it for ready boost) then it will start to sync. Everything appears fine but the music will not play. When I attempt to play a a song it will skip around and play 1 second of the start of the song then the a bit from the middle then the start again then either crash the iPod or just skip to the next song.
- I have tried this on 4 different ipods (all 4'th gen) all of which I know work
- My music is currently being stored on a windows home server and I access it over a network.
I have reinstalled iTunes 5 times. It used to work fine with itunes 7.7 this only has happened since I upgraded, and yes I know the first release of iTunes 8 was faulty...
Any Ideas? I have been trying to sort this for 3 weeks now....

Same here. At time I will end up with a message saying ITunes cannot read the Ipdo please restore...Between those episode, the only way i have found to sync & read complete songs was to sync song by group of 3 or 4...if i try to sync larger group, i will end with song that stops on the Ipdod after 30-40 sec...This problem has occured for more then a year and Imn very tired to reload my 60G 3 songs at the time...:(

IPod Classic 120GB won't sync songs

My iPod recently began having issues, such as not playing songs that should've worked, skipping over them, etc. So I chose to restore it, and now it stops syncing songs at around 3 GB worth of music, and I'll either get error 1303, 53, or 69. I sync manually, no photos or anything besides music. When it gets to around 3GB full, the sync will start going really slow, and I can hear a weird crackling sound coming from my iPod, as if it's trying too hard, and then the error message pops up after this goes on for a while.
Here's what I've tried so far:
- 5 R's
- Disk Mode
- Turning off UAC
- Using the Administrator as the account doing the sync
- Using different usb cable
- Using different USB ports
- Using different laptop/desktop
- Updating Itunes, Ipod, & Windows Updates
Everytime I see a "solution" in a thread, I try it, and not one of them has worked. I've also heard it is a hard drive issue, relating to Itunes 9.0.3, which I've been using. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2298386&tstart=15
If nobody has an answer, at least can someone tell me how to convince Apple to send me a replacement? My iPod is still under coverage of the warranty.

Same thing happened to me. I took the ipod back yesterday to the apple store and I got a new one. However, I'm still having the same problem. I think that something is wrong with the settings or itunes 9 itself. Going to keep checking.

Is icloud down? It no longer appears on my desktop and i can't sync songs with ipod, is icloud down? It no longer appears on my desktop and i can't sync songs with ipod

I cannot sync songs and it doesn't show that I am connected to the cloud on my desktop. Just downloaded a bunch of songs and have no way to sync them to my ipod eventhough the ipod is connected and syncing.

OK, I finally got it - do the following:
1. Connect Pre to your computer in USB mode.
2. Open search feature and search for "ipod controls" file in the Pre drive (on my computer this is drive E
3. On the search feature, go to advanced tab and tell it to search for hidden files.
4. It should find ipod controls.
5. DELETE, DELETE, DELETE
Keep in mind that this will delete all previously uploaded music installed by using *ughhh* itunes. I love it. Now I just drag and drop all music to my Pre drive. Hope this helps. It is nice to have a fresh start without having to wipe the entire phone. Good luck out there.
This worked brilliantly!!! Thank you so much!! Pre is set......only issue now is that fact that half my music in iTunes is in a Protected AAC file format that the Pre can't play

HELP: iTunes 6 unable to sync songs with ipod - hangs freezes crashes

Hi,
This has been posted before, but a search of 500 messages have turned up no solutions. Anyone who has any idea of a solution please help.
PROBLEM:
iTunes 6 and ipod 5th gen unable to sync songs or manually move more than 50 songs at a time to ipod. It hangs / freezes / crashes when updating the ipod. It will stop at 50 songs, 100 songs, sometimes even 2200 songs - out of 8000.
The "Beachball of death" comes on, and there is no way to force quit or stop the now frozen update. The only thing that gets a response is pulling the ipod from the dock or powering the computer down manually.
TRIED:
1. Repair permissions
2. Update ipod with latest ipod update software
3. Restore ipod " " " " '
4. Used Activity Monitor to see where program hangs - no added info, it will stop randomly at different songs, and next time around it will pick another son to hang / freeze at
5. uncheck "put hard disks to sleep when possible" in Energy Preferences pane
I am at my wits end with this..... will try anything.... even Voodoo at this point as long as you tell me it worked for you!
Anyone ever solved this long standing problem (which seems to be present with iTunes 7 as well) ?
Thanks !
