HELP! iPod wont sync!! (diff problem 2 others..)

hi, i have an 80g ipod video (2006).
i just purchased a tone of new songs and the piece of crap wont sync them. unlike the other similar threads i don't get any messages or error messages etc. for me, it syncs as normal but does not put the new songs onto the ipod! i also deleted a play list and it doesn't seem to be updating that either!!
someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEE help me!!! i really need to fix this as i am going away next week and would like to listen to NEW songs on my trip!!! lol

Have you tried restoring your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Please help ipod wont sync

i just got my ipod for christmas & when i hook up my ipod 2 sync an error message comes up saying that it the file cant be read or written to. This is drving me crazy please help any info will be helpfull!

Hi Mike_200207,
Does it work if you manually manage your iPod's music?
To switch to that setting, click on your iPod in the Source List of iTunes, and go to the "Music" tab. Deselect the "Sync" option, and click on "Apply" in the bottom-right corner of this iTunes screen to save your settings.
Then, in iTunes, click on your iPod's "Music" section. Manually select all of the songs, and delete them off of your iPod. Then eject/disconnect the iPod from your computer.
Now, connect it back to the computer again, and try to manually transfer all of your iTunes library songs to your iPod (to do that, select all of the songs, and drag them to your iPod's name in the Source List of iTunes).
After the songs have loaded to your iPod, you can eject/disconnect it again, and see if all of the songs that you transferred appear on the iPod.

Ipod wont sync music. . .please help

Ok I've had my Ipod since last Christmas and I've tryed plugging it into the computer the last few days and all of a sudden it doesn't sync. It doesn't show that my Ipod is connected when Itunes is up. I can see my Ipod charging but it wont sync my songs. Please someone help me I love my ipod.

Yeah I have the same problem, only I got my iPod just this past June. I keep plugging it into the computer, and it's being recognized by the computer because it's charging, but iTunes isn't seeing it because it won't give me the option to sync it. I tried turning autosync on and off and I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, but it still won't do anything. Can anybody help?

My Ipod wont sync with my new library and I dont know why not. It will show that it is connected through home sharing, but it is only avalible when i am with my laptop! I dont know how to get this current library as mine on my ipod, help!

My ipod will not sync with my laptop. I have had previous Ipods in the past, but since then I have grown out of most of my music. Also about a year and a half ago I got a new laptop. I used the same Itunes name, but now on my new Ipod it has all of my old music and it refuses to download any of my new music. When I am using home sharing though, it says that I can turn on my "Library" but that my "music" is what is perminately on the computer. This only works though if I am near my laptop. When I try to transfer my library onto my ipod it wont let me. My music on my ipod is completely different than my normal itunes library on my computer and I have no idea how to transfer it. When I plug it in, it wont sync at all, or show that there is any device even plugged in. I am frustrated and tired of not having any of my music, so someone please help!!!

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:

Major Problem - Ipods wont sync

Okay there is kind of a lot here so bear with me. I own two IPod Touches andneither one of them is syncing with ITunes. One is a first or second generationand the other is a brand new 4th generation. I am running windows 7 64 bit. Windows7, iTunes, and the iPod touches are all fully up to date. The IPods aredetected by windows and appear in "my computer." iTunes takes alittle time then pops up with the message "iTunes cannot read the contentsof the iPod "_____". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences andclick Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings." normally at thispoint the iPod is not visible in the menu on the left to follow theseinstructions. Once in a while though, the iPod will appear and the Restoreoption does become available, on these rare occasions I get an unknown errormessage (1602 or 1621) and the restore fails.
I tried completely removing all of iTunes and related programs thenreinstalling with no joy. That tells me that there is no problem with iTunesitself. The fact that both iPods have the same problem suggests that it is notthe iPods either. I have tried plugging into every USBport with every combination of chords and iPods with no luck. The 4th gen is literallyhours out of the packaging. There must be some kind of recent windowsupdate or something that has made the iPods incompatible. I tried calling appletech support and they said (after a whole slew of trouble shooting) that whateverthe issue is it is out of their scope.
I have looked all over the place and haven’t found asolution that works yet. I greatly appreciate any assistance you guys can offer.

Yeah, this is a little silly. The problem is with the USB ports somehow. One of the itunes updates made the USB ports not work on some computers. I am not sure what types of computers are affected, but the way I got my iPods out of their recovery loops was to change around USB ports. Since my origional problem, every time I have had to update the software on my ipod I got stuck in recovery loop again. to get out of the loop I just had to trail and error all my usb ports until it finally works. I have had more luck with my external USB hub than the ports built into my computer.
I have a top of the line Toshiba Qosmio x505. I hope this helps!

Will not recognize my ipod/wont sync? Please Help, been going on for days!

I plug my ipod touch in, and it says it cant be synced, yet the photo box comes up. Ive tried different wires, and still the same result. It synced once, for about a minute, yet when i looked, there was no music on my ipod. I have no idea how to fix this problem, and any feedback would be very helpful!

What is the problem?
You select what you ant to sync, then sync?
Do you get an error message?
What does it say?
Have you tried basics from the manual?
Restart.
Reset.
Restore.

My ipod wont sync all my music/files, comes up with an error now

HI there!
My ipod was working fine over a week ago and now it wont work!
I try to sync it and it says it has synced it but only puts on about 200 songs out of 2000- not even that, before it says unknown error and then wipes it all off,and wont sync! someone please help! It isnt the memory as I have 160g!
I have restored it many times, uninstalled and installed itunes a few times too, and nothing
Also when i plug my ipod in it comes up on my laptop screen that i should scan and fix my ipod as files on there that arent right?!
It's very frustrating and Im hoping someone can help me soon,
Kelly

My ipod was working fine over a week ago and now it wont work!
Let's start with the basic: What changed between the last time it worked and nopw? Did you update your iTunes to a newer version? Plug in any new USB devices? Change the port to which you connect your iPod? Add any new devices that changed drive letters? Apply any patches? Drop or expose the iPod to temperature extremes?
If we know what changed, we can start to figure out how that change caused this problem.
P.S.: If your answer to "what changed" is what I think it is (i.e., you updated iTunes), then reading this summary post of mine may give you a clue as to the problem.

My itunes freezes/ipod wont sync/scan and fix

OK, I think I have a bunch of issues that many people are having (except my problems seems to be everything). Couple of nights ago, I hooked up my ipod as normal and then it synced but froze. I then unplugged the ipod from the itunes and then afterwards I hit the scan and fix button. Thats the story, now heres the breakdown of things I did to try to repair it/problems Im facing.
1. When I hook up my ipod, the computer (windows 7) sees it and always has the scan and fix problem box pop up.
2. I have reformatted my ipod (on another computer and even did it once on my computer) still has problems.
3. When I connect my ipod to the itunes, it freezes it and WILL NOT X out or close after ctlaltdlt. I have to turn the comp off with the power (it wont even restart if I use the restart button)
4. I have done the chkdsk thing, my ipod seems fine
5. I have done the no automatic sync, nothing happens (except my itunes freezes)
6. Ive downloaded numerous things that seemed to help other out with the ipod sync/itunes freezing issues. No solution.
7. I disable my USB ports, that didnt help.
8. While in disk mode, the scan and fix pops up. Nothing happens when I connect my ipod to the computer without it (it wont even charge)
9. Ive hooked up my ipod to another computer and it seemed to work perfectly fine
10. i have installed, uninstalled, over and over and that has not helped either
please tell me you have a solution and if not, atleast tell me if i choose to gfet another ipod, it will not cause the same problems

I have a 160gig classic that I got for christmas but I've been having the scan and fix problem for some time now maybe since March. July 22nd I updated my iTunes and when I tried to manually add an album to my ipod iTunes froze and I had to ctrlatldel to close it. The end result was me losing about 60gbs of music, movies, and podcasts. Before then I've never had any problems with iTunes freezing EVER. After that everytime I plugged my iPod in iTunes froze until finally I got the chance to restore my iPod. The only problem now is everytime I try to sync I get -50, -60 and -69 errors all on different files. I'm convinced its either the iPod or the iTunes update or both. help please before I die from no music

My ipod wont sync - I dont have access privileges

Please can someone help me - I have had my ipod for a few years now and never had problems - now it wont sync with my itunes libary to my ipod as I dont have access privileges for some reason - does anyone know how I can regain my access privileges?

In iTunes, head to Edit -> Preferences and then click the Advanced tab when the new window comes up. What is the location of your iTunes library on your PC under the Media location?
Once you have that information, you'll want to browse out to that folder. Once you have found it, right->click on it and choose Properties. When the window comes up, make sure you are under the General tab. Make sure the folder is not set to Read Only. Then make sure the change is applied to all subfolders and files.

Ipod wont sync to itunes

my ipod nano 2nd generation will not sync to itunes...i can open itunes & my library is there...ipod is plugged into computer is is charging from it...any help as to why pod wont connect to the tunes?
Message was edited by: shaneandamy

I have the same problem. I have spent all day trying the different things they tell you to do. I haven't gone to "restore" because if it is not syncing then I will lose everything I have on the ipod. My only problem now is that I can't add songs.
It wasn't even detecting the ipod until I changed its letter. Now it detects it and says that it is syncing, but nothing happens.
Why won't it connect? How do I resolve this? Is there any possible support number to call?
