Having issues with syncing my ipod.

I am unsure if it's my ipod or itunes messing around, but since the update to 9.1, everytime i attempt to sync my ipod, it frezzes my laptop. After i disconnect it, it comes up with the message "the ipod 'nick's' cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to". I have tried the 5 'r's more than once each, except for restore, as it doesnt show up in itunes and i don't know how to restore it without it. I also tried downgrading back to 9.0.3 and i still had the problem. I always safely disconnect my ipod aswell.
Any ideas on what's wrong? and anyone know how to restore an ipod without using itunes?

Restore...
Note that it's easy to do but it's quite time-consuming.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod to my computer.

    I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. It gets stuck on the last step saying, "Waiting for changes to be applied." It's been doing this for the last half hour. Is there anything I can do to correct this or is am just going to have to restore my iPod?

    You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer.  If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    What "trouble" are you having?

  • Having issue with Syncing Events from Iphoto to Apple Tv

    All of a sudden I have multiple events of the same title but different amount of photos when i try to sync my photos to apple tv.  Iphoto is fine, nothing is changed but when I go over to itunes to sync I see like 10 different Events with same name. EVERYTHING is multiplied but there is no rhyme or reason to it.  !!!!!  Apple has done some system/app updates but they are so frequent that I don't ever pay attention to what is being updated I just click to allow the process.  I believe this occurred after one of the updates,  I have 2 Apple TV's AT1 and AT2.  AT2 is a nightmare to begin with because it was constantly getting kicked off the network but now that isn't the issue.  Now it isn't showing current syncs which doesn't make sense because I thought this one streamed everything directly.  Either way---APPLE TV is having issues and I can't get my EVENTS straightened out,  HELP!!!!!

    I've also noticed this started happening... Its something with iTunes, because both my old Apple TV's and my iPhone and iPad all show multiple events for the same event... Lots of them! So many its hard to tell what to sync now. When I click on any of my devices photos tab in iTunes they are all exactly the same. Not sure how to fix it...

  • I am having trouble with syncing my ipod classic to my new computor with itunes

    When I have tried to sync my ipod classic to my new computor is asks of I want to erase and sync or transfer.  I selected erase and sync and it pops up with a bubble asking for my e-mail and password.  The computor has been authorized and it takes my e-mail and password but then pops up with three other e-mals form other people.  What do I do?  Should I restore the ipod classic????????

    Kim, sorry, but I couldn't get what you are trying to do.
    iTunes jargon
    RESTORE - to erase all data, ie music, address, video etc in the connected iPod and populate them with factory settings.
    Why do we need to do this? When the iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted and the iTunes cant map the iPod hardisk file structure, to add new data, music, videos etc.
    SYNC - The process, where iTunes overrides all data, music, videos in the iPod, with the iTunes Library. So if the iTunes library in your PC is blank, then iTunes will erase your iPod, till blank.
    iTunes Library - the folder in your PC/MAC that contains all your data/music/video etc. The iTunes does not treat the iPod as a store, but rather as huge landfill, so you need 3rd party software to recover any data from the iPod back to the PC/MAC.

  • Having problems with syncing my iPod to my mac and trying to purchase a song but iTunes keeps saying "can't connect to server??

    just got a new mac- been using PC. Having problems syncing my Ipod to my mac and when i try and purchase a song, itunes says "network connections timed out"-  what am I doing wrong??

    Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
    This does not lose any data on your iPad.

  • Having issues with calendar on iPod touch

    I recently bought ipod Touch 4, but I am having problems with the calendar.  Many of the events that appear on my desktop don't appear on my ipod Touch. When I input an event directly on the ipod touch, within a few seconds it disappears.  I've tried numerous times to input the information, but it somehow keeps disappearing.  Does anyone have any suggestion what to do, because I'm unable to input certain important dates.

    I finally got my personnal vendor on the french apple store. She sent me to the ipod team : it is possible to edit event within the ipod touch, even in its french version. So I bought it one and it's great !
    Hope to see more apps on it as it is a shame to build such a great engine with so few apps in it : what about the sustainable developement ?

  • Having Issues with my new iPod

    Good Morning Everyone!
    I'm new to this discussion site and to iPod. I recently purchased a 30gb iPod and have been importing my CDs into iTunes. I have been adding album artwork that I have found from google. Yesterday I noticed that at least half of my artwork is wrong-- for example, I will have artwork for Staind showing on the song info within iTunes, yet on my iPod for that very same song, artwork for the Barenaked Ladies shows up. This happens with at least half of my music. (Everything on iTunes is correct-- it's just wrong on the iPod.)
    I was listening to my iPod this morning on the way to work and something else happened-- I was listening to everything that I had tagged as 80s music when all of a sudden Outkast started to play. At first I thought, OK, I just put it in the wrong playlist accidentally. However, when I looked at the iPod screen, it said that it was supposed to be playing The Cars. That happened again with several more songs. Has this happened to anyone else? What can I do to correct this problem? I'm less concerned with the album artwork. If needed, I'll clear it all out... however, songs coming up wrong is driving me crazy!
    I appreciate your input.

    Have you ever tried the art importer that someone mentioned? I was thinking of trying that to see how that works.
    I swear, I was never this obsessive compulsive before I got my iPod!!
    I wanted to tell you that you are NOT alone! The same
    problem has happened to me with my 2gb iPod nano! The
    album aret doesn't match the song playing! Also when
    I am click the song to view the album art up close,
    it is often the wrong picture, even if the one on the
    front is correct. This is seriously mind-boggling
    because I haven'tdone anything to damage it! I have
    tryed everything; I've restored it reset it updated
    stuff... I think I have to send it back!

  • I'm having issues with syncing my nao to my computer. How many ipods can one computer recognize?

    My computer says that the ipod isnt being red correctly HELP!

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Hi, i'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. (after the latest iTunes-update)

    It's a classic, but I have no idea what generation... but it was bought in early 08, and have 80gb. Anyway, it has been working fine all the time, but by the latest iTunes-update, it has stopped working. (mac) Every time I try to connect it with my computer, iTunes says that "this iPod appears to be destroyed, try to restore" (I'm having iTunes in Norwegian, so not sure if this is the direct translation, but hopefully you'll get the picture) - and I try to do this, again and again, but nothing seems to work. I have tried to turn off the computer, put iPod in disc-mode, let the battery run out, give it a two-week break, and now I'm out of guesses on what to do. But no matter what I do it allways appear to have zero songs on it after I am done syncing, and I allways get the "try to restore"-message when i connect it again.
    It's possible that it's just old age or something, but I really want to try everything first, as it seems to be all right otherways. It also works when I connect it with my friend's  PC, but since she has ****** taste of music () it's not an option. I have a MacBook, also from 2008.
    And just to clearify. I have an iPad2, and an old iPod nano (2006) and both works with my computer/iTunes.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Issues with syncing 2 IPOD 6th Gen Nano's to one computer

    we have 2 new IPOD 6th Gen.  I can sync mine in ITunes, but when I plug in the 2nd one (which has a different owners name) to sync, the device comes up, but when I hit the sync button nothing is happening.  Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Having issues with syncing 23.98 HD video to 24fps audio

    Hello everyone,
    I'm working on a feature that was shot on the Sony EX3 at a frame rate of 23.98NDF (1920 * 1080 HD). I am trying to sync it to audio that was recorded at 24fpsNDF with a sample rate of 48khz and a bit rate of 24.
    When I merge the two together the audio seems too slow for the video. I checked the metadata of the video clips and it reads that the onboard mic was recording at a sample rate of 48khz and a bit rate of 16. Could that possibly be an issue?
    I've search the FCP manual on what to do as well as a couple of forums but I have not found a real solution to my problem. If you could please help me out by either explaining what I should do or sending me a link as to where I can find the answer I am searching for I would greatly appreciate it since time is of the essence for me.
    Thank you,
    Ian

    First,
    Kick the one that made the decision to work this way.
    Second,
    Kick him again...
    What happens is that BWF does NOT hold timecode, but 'samples after midnight'
    This means that TC 00:00:02:00 is written as 96000
    (Your sampling rate is 48000, times two seconds is 96000)
    But DF and NDF do not run at the same timebase. (NDF TC runs slower, but note the actual video does NOT)
    From memory you can import the BWF with another setting than your project, perhaps that'll save your butt.
    My advice, go to Andreas' site (www.spherico.com) and look around there.
    He has written a lot about the subject, and your answer must be there.
    hth,
    Bouke

  • I'm having issues with syncing my music.

    Recently, I upgraded my computer to Windows 7, from Vista. I've recovered all my music, and ringtones from my old windows. Supposedly authorised my new Windows for syncing. I currently have 19 GBs of music on my phone, which I'm reducing to 16.2 GBs.. but everytime I go to sync my music. It keeps telling me that it requires 16.5 GBs, which means it's not erasing the music already on my phone..? It won't let me access its music through my computer or iTunes (via manual music adding or whatever it's called) .. I don't know how to clear the music. When it shows the summary, there's no music data, until I click the music tab where the 19 GBs show up again. Help??

    With the device connected, if you select the music tab and have "Sync Music" checked, you must manage music from that tab. 
    If you do not want to manage music that way, uncheck the "Sync Music" option then on the Summary tab you must check the "manage media manually" option.
