Help!!! ipod wont synch songs

My ipod will not let me add songs. The capacity is taken up with "other" and will not allow me to add music. An error message appears and then says there is no space avavilable for music. I cant get a single song from my playlist to synch to the ipod. I also cannot select the restore option. It says that it cannot connect with the support server. Help please. Any suggesstions?

Have a look at this thread and the links contained in it.

Help ipod wont update songs!!!

I have been experiencing the same issues with my Ipod. A week ago my Ipod started to act up. I reset my Ipod and it showed the unhappy face icon. I plugged it into my computer and by the morning it was fixed. Today, however, I tried to update the songs on my Ipod. After updating Itunes said my ipod contained 2993 songs. I disconnected my Ipod an checked the settings:About and it said 2909 songs. I understand how frustrating this is and I wanted you to know that your not alone in this endevor. I also tried the above solutions but none succeed to solve the problem. Hopefully a solution will be brought to our attention soon.

My ipod wont synch with itunes,

I moved my itunes from my laptop to my pc using the ipod as a hard disk, and now my ipod wont synch, sometimes it starts and then just hangs and says cannot copy blah blah blah due to an unkown errer 50. When i run the diagnostics the ipod cannot be found but it shows up in the list on the left of itunes and attempts to synch. Any help would be much appreciated as im desperate to get it working again, i only moved my itunes from my laptop because it is dieing and did'nt want to lose all my music, it seems that i may have inadvertantly lost it anyway!

Hi, thank you for the reply, unfortunetly i have tried all the suggestions on that link (and quite a few more).
The message is completely random as to whether its a download from the itunes store or something i have imported or a cd that i have added to my itunes. I have got to a point now where it will synch a certain amount of tracks (or photo's, books, etc) and then just give me an -50 message regardless of what it is i am trying to synch, my 80gb classic has now become a 50mb classic!

My ipod wont change song manually or the volume cant be changed even though ive tried double clicking on the earplugs

hmmmm. let's quickly check on this to begin with:

Pleae help, itunes wont synch after update

after a recnt update for my itouch 4s, it wont synch with my itouch anymore, nor would my pc charge my itouch.
now whenever i open itunes , a message pops out, it says "the registry settings used by the Itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing, this can happen as a result of isntalling other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes."
i tried
uninstalling and reinstalling itunes (numerous times)
delete all programs relating to itunes (appple softwareupgade, Bonjour,Itunes, etc) then reinstalling them.
Note: my ipod touch can synch and be recharged from other PCs, o i guess its just my Itunes software problem
any help will be very appreciated, THANKS

i have tried the 3 step thing again which u mentioned above in your first commet, but at the end i was under the suggestion of other resources and search "GearAspiWDM.inf" and right click and install after the steps. i did that. ow whenever i open itunes, terror message wont appear, but it ont connec with my itouch.
i cant find a suitable application for registry repair... sorry
and also i downloaded Gears Driver installer x86 x64, so i dont know whether its this installing "fixed" the error message , or my installation on GearAspiWDM.inf

Ipod wont Synch

HI
Ipod: + - 2nd Generation 20 mb Ipod Click.
I-tunes: 7.0.2
I am trying to synch my Ipod to my new computer. The synch starts, seems to copy one or two songs, then hangs. Eventually I get a message that reads: delayed write failed, then drive not ready.
The first time it got to about to about 300 but now wont do even 2 or 3.
I have tried (as per other posts):
- De-Authorising / Authorising the computer
- Assigning a new drive letter (n:) to the ipod
- Deleting the song that may be the cause of the problem.
Still not getting anywhere.
Any advise out there?
Thanks

. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Updated iPod wont play songs

I had to Restore my iPod and lose all my music. Now I can add songs to my iPod through iTunes but the iPod cannot play them when disconnected. Please help!
I have a 3G, 20Gb, windows iPod.

Assuming the songs play in iTunes on the computer
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

at this stage, whenever i open itunes, this error message pops up "registry settings used bythe itunes driver for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing . This can happen as a result of installing ther CD burning softwares. Please reinstall Itunes".
i tried just uninstalling and installing Itunes.
then i tried uninstalling Itunes and other itunes relating programs (Bonjour, apple software updater, quicktime, etc) the recommended methd on this web site
but this doesnt change anything.
then recently i tried, going to my C hardrive and find GearAspiwdm.inf, then right click then install them.
and also, downloading the Gear drivers installation x86 x64.
then i nolonger get the error message but my itouch still wont synch....
i know this is a long question but if u take a minute of your time to read this, i will be very appreciated. thanks a lot really

whenever i open itunes, this error message pops up "registry settings used bythe itunes driver for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing . This can happen as a result of installing ther CD burning softwares. Please reinstall Itunes".
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
