Help! Syncing issues with latest version of iTunes

Help! I've upgraded my PC to Windows 7 & reinstalled iTunes but it will not sync to my PC in the way the old iTunes did. i.e. I can add music to my iTunes library but it won't add it to the iPod without threatening to wipe it first. What can I do?? I've got over 50GB on my iPod and cannot face the idea of having to readd everything - I just want to put some new albums on it. With the older copy of iTunes I had (can't use that now - apparently this iPod is too new) I could just click 'sync' and it would do it.

You may try some iTunes alternatives like this iPod file manager, it can upload songs and videos to iPod classic, it will not delete the songs on iPod. If you do afraid losing the songs, you can use the app to copy the songs from iPod classic to your new PC for backup first.

Sync issues with latest version of i tunes

new version of i tunes hasnt installed properly cant sync i pad or i phone why release new versions when they clearly dont work. have re installed to no avail. now what do i do ?

When I bought my Mac I used a program, 'touch copy' to put the music from my I pod onto the computer. since then I have added playlist and music to my I tunes. Now when I try to sync, there is no transfer from my Mac to the I pod. Could it have something to do with the program I used to move music files the other way?

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

I have an original iPhone. With latest version of iTunes, 10.5, it doesn't sync anymore. I know its old but does anyone know what happened?

I have an original iphone. With the latest version of itunes, 10.5, it no longer syncs. The name of my device doesn't appear in itunes just a gneric iphone. I know its old and apple no longer provides updates to ios but taking away my ablilty to sync is hard to believe. Any suggestions

Did you do a backup of iOS before you changed iTunes?
I would do a reverse and go back to the old iTunes, then update your iPhone and then update iTunes.
Version 4.x of iOS has been out forever, update, update, update.....it is very important to maintain compatability in hardware & software devices/pcs'/Macs.

This doesn't make sense. Your statement "even though it's showing its connected" means that iTunes does see the iPad. Or am I misreading what you are saying?

I don't see how to sync on this latest version of iTunes - what to do?

I have the iPod Nano 6 and the latest version of iTunes and don't see how to sync - what to do?

In the corner of the window, you should see your ipod show up in the upper right corner. Click this, and you will see the summary of your nano. Then you can sync.

What does your "devices" view look like, when you have your device connected?
The "Photos" button should still be there:

ITunes doesn't see my iPhone on my Windows 8 computer. It used to, now with latest version of iTunes it doesn't. Help?

I can't get iTunes to see my phone anymore. I am trying to sync my phone as I've done a million times and now suddenly I can't get the device to show up in iTunes. I have reinstalled iTunes, restarted my phone, and followed a few other steps in the online help that got me nowhere. Anyone have advice as to how to do this? I've got to sync my calendars asap!
Thank you!

Hi akwritermama,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It's possible that the iTunes software didn't update properly. Try the specific steps below for the iPhone first:

If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

Iphone 4 does not syncing with latest version of itunes

Dear other users,
My iphone 4 was syncing really great for several weeks on my windows XP computer. Suddenly it was not possible syncing anymore. Probably I used my iphone 4 while syncing. Now when I push the USB cabel into my computer the computer crashes and starts up in the 'save mode'. Even after re-installation of the newest version of itunes there is no live between the iphone 4 and my computer. When I try to sync itunes starts up for only 1 second, and then the computer starts up again. In stead of the text: 'iphone fond on your computer' (when pushing USB cabel into computer) I can see the text: Digital Still Camera. So probably the computer recognises only the camera from the iphone????

Dear all,
Today I tried my iphone on an other window XP computer (a computer where no itunes was installed in de past). And I made another account for itunes on that computer after installing itunes. The connection was perfect and my iphone could syncing with itunes, no problemes at all. After that I tried my iphone on my own computer with the new account for itunes, but there was the same crash and restart as in the past (problems in sector one of the harddisk?). Now I'm sure for 100% that there is a computer problem and not an iphone problem, caused by interrupting the syncing procedure by myself through using the iphone. I hope the problem can be solved in the near future, cause I can imagine that I'm not the only one who tried to do this.
Greatings,

Ipod touch not synching with latest version of Itunes

I connect my Ipod touch 2nd generation 8 gig to Itunes latest version and it makes the moves as if it were synching but contacts and events do not appear on the Ipod after synching. I mean new events and contacts. I have erased duplicates on my MacBook Pro and they still appear on the Ipod. What could this be? Helo!

Syncing, unless you are loading a 64g touch for the first time, should only take a matter of minutes. Tap your iPod to wake it up and hit "Cancel Sync". Not sure what happened, but that isn't correct.
Anyway, to do a forced calendar sync where your iPod calendar is overwritten is pretty easy. With your iPod plugged into iTunes and showing in "Devices", click on the Info tab (far right). Scroll to the bottom and you will see the "Advanced" section. Pick the area you want to overwrite and resync your touch.

Having issues with new version of iTunes and my iPod...

I recently upgraded to the newest version of iTunes, and now I can't view my iPod's songs or add songs to my iPod through iTunes. Whenever I click on my iPod, iTunes freezes up and I have to close it. In fact, sometimes iTunes freezes up as I'm playing songs.
Any help with this?
Windows XP

download, install, and run the latest iPod updater. Even if it does not contain new versions for your model, it will re-install a fresh copy of the software and might shake loose anything that has become stuck.
If you have all your music on the computer (and you should for occasions just like this), use the "restore" option, it will wipe the hard drive of the iPod, but helps out the most.

Sync iCal with latest version of MobileMe Calendar

I am having an issue syncing ical (v 4.0.4) with the latest version of MobileMe Calendar (recently updated MM calendar).
I did have a MM caldav acct set up in iCal and deleted that due to a recommendation from a previous post. This didnt fix the issue.
So, i recreated the MM acct in iCal (caldav), I have reset the iSync services, i deleted my computer in sys preferences > MM > advanced and added it back to start a fresh sync to MM..... all to no avail.
Ultimately what i am trying to accomplish is to sync data in iCal that was populated from syncing with Outlook for MAC 2011 (which worked well). Now i just want to get this data in iCal into MM.
Thank you!

I am having same problem...will pass on the fix when I find it

Repeated ical sync failure with latest version of Desktop Manager

My wife downloaded the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager today. Prior to this version, syncing her iCal calendars with Desktop Manager had been working just fine. Now she gets the "Sync Error" message all the time. Looking
in the log shows the "Attempt to insert nil...." error that has been reported here previously. Also, it seems to not be only attempting to sync future events (which she had checked) - it popped up with 5 conflicts all of which were literally years in the past.
I tried the fix reported in one message (delete the /Users/username/Library/Applications Support/Blackberry Desktop Manager and reboot twice) but that didn't seem to work. Any suggestions? Should I use another syncing program with
the Blackberry and the Mac and just ditch Desktop Manager until they get it fixed?

So i just did the same and yes, the sync error goes away, but i think another problem is occuring.
I use Entourage for my contacts and have a Blackberry to sync it to. Since contacts will only sync with ADDRESS i need to first sync ENTOURAGE with ADDRESS then it moves on to my BB. Since doing this exercise (above), it seems that ENTOURAGE is not syncing to ADDRESS...does this make any sense?

Album Art Issues with Latest Version

Is anyone else having issues putting artwork on their tracks? The minute I updated iTunes I've been having problems importing my artwork. When I go to the Get Info section of any track that doesn't have artwork and click in the area where you can copy and paste, that section goes black before I can even add artwork. I thought maybe it was just my computer, but then I had a friend install it as well and the same issue occurs on his computer. Is there anyway to uninstall this latest version and revert to the one right before it?

I notice you have a VAIO. I wonder if the Sony media drivers could be an issue. Apparently new versions have been released here:
