How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to sync with the new iTunes 11.4 (64-bit)

None of the solutions I tried have worked:
     I reinstalled iTunes.
     I reauthorized my computer
     I restored my iPod
Each time I sync, it says that sync is complete, but no songs are on my iPod.
Since restoring my iPod, I get this error message when I attempt to eject it: "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
Please help! I miss my potable music.

Hi YumaGal,
The easiest way to do what you are asking would be to restore the iPod nano's software, which erases all music and other content from the iPod. The process is described in this manual -
https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA629/en_US/iPod_nano_4th_gen_UserGuide .pdf
See at the bottom of page 69 -
To update or restore iPod nano:
1 Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/ipod/start.
2 Connect iPod nano to your computer.
3 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the source list and click the Summary tab.
The Version section tells you whether iPod nano is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
4 Click Update to install the latest version of the software.
5 If necessary, click Restore to restore iPod nano to its original settings (this erases all data
from iPod nano). Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,
Brett L

How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

That would be via home sharing.
Make sure it's enabled in iTunes (file - home sharing) and Apple TV (settings - computers)
You would then access on Apple TV using the computer icon. Your computer would need to be on and running itunes

I tried uninstalling itunes, reinstalling an earlier version (7.6.2) same problem, plus a new issue with itunes. (It was a clean uninstall, btw, I got everything cleaned out, I think, lol). Video's transfer fine. And no good way to get ahold of apple. That's great. If I have no music on my ipod, it's useless. Think they'll give me my money back? (lol)

My ipods Library won't sync with the new Library

Hi, I had do erase everything off my hard drive to fix a problem with my iphone today and when I went to restore itunes, my ipod won't sync with the library. I get the message that I would need to erase everything on my ipod because its sync with another library and sync with the new library which just has the things I brought in the itunes store. I have a lot more music that the music I got in itunes. So my question is how can I copy the flies (music/videos/movies) from my ipod to the new library? Please help me. Thank You.

You erased your hard drive without making sure you had a current backup copy of your music?
You can try a 3rd party program to get the music off ( this is not supported by Apple).
You can also try a forum search ( right side of this page), as this is asked and answered very often.
Zevoneer ( a fellow itunes user) does a great job explaining the options.

HT1296 I have a 2nd Gen iPod Touch and it does not sync with the new iTunes please is there a fix coming?

I Have a 2nd gen iPod and it will not sync with the new update of iTunes is there a fix coming for this or not I'd hate to have to buy a new iPod if I don't have to

Have you tried syncing manually using the manual method included in
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Was the iPod previously synced to another computer/iTunes library?
Next wold be to retore from backup.
iOS: How to back up

How do i put my epub files in my kobo with the new itunes 11?

I can't put anymore files in my Kobo App since i have the new itunes 11.Any solutions?

Thankfully there is a way of doing this without iTunes getting in the way.
Copy the PDF files to DropBox, then on iPad open the DropBox app and open the PDF.
Then click the Download button and choose Open In .... Kobo
I can't believe that Apple removed from iTunes 11 the section below Apps for "copy files to these Apps" such as Kobo.
I've been a great fan of all things Apple since switching from Windows 5 years ago, but tricks like this are putting me off big time, seriously looking at Android for Mobile, and Linux for Laptop now.

How can I get my iPod Classic to play playlists in the order I selected them to play ?

I've had my new iPod Classic for a couple of months, and with the help of a couple of third-party books (e.g., the missing manual), I'm getting comfortable with its operation. But here's a baffling issue: It appears there's no way to select, say, three or four playlists in iTunes and to synch them to my Classic so that they play in the order I want, much the way I did for many years with my 5-disk CD player. Note: I assiduously avoid shuffling, and I do all my synching in iTunes manually. I'd be grateful for any help (or workaround) to deal with this irritating issue. Thanks to all.

On the iPod, create an On-The-Go Playlist.
Navigate to the first Playlist you want to use; press-and-hold the Select (centre) button until the Playlist name flashes. This puts that playlist into the On-The-Go Playlist, which is located at the bottom of the Playlist menu.
Now navigate to the second Playlist you want; press-and-hold the Select button until the Playlist name flashes. This has added the second Playlist to the On-The-Go Playlist.
Repeat for each Playlist you want to add.
Once you have added all the Playlists you want, scroll down to the end of the Playlist to On-The-Go list. If you go into the On-The-Go list, you will see all the songs form your other Playlists, in Playlist order. Simply scroll to the first song and press the Select or Play to start the first song playing.
By the way, there was no missing manual. No manual was supplied.
If you cannot find the answer by:
trial and error
by looking at the online manual;
160Gb Classic> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1195/en_US/iPod_classic_160GB_User_ Guide.pdf and 129Gb Classic > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA630/en_US/iPod_classic_120GB_en.pdf (no idea why there's a difference to be honest)

How do i get my ipod classic 120gb (2008) repaired via the Apple Support (also in german)

Hey Guys!
I have a question about the Repairingprogram of apple. I have here an ipod classic 120gb 2008 model and i want to know how much is it to get it repaired from Apple.
The Problem is, my ipod came in contact with shower Gel and the display is broken and I think also the HDD. (its always restarting till the battery is empty)
The Support Sites don't say anything about the Repairing Price in Europe (Austria) and I don't want to pay money for the telephone support to call this Company for a Information what i already know.
I hope, you guys can help me.
Thanks.
PS: Sorry for my bad english, i had my last Conversation in 2005.
Now in German:
Hey Leute!
Ich würde gerne wissen was Apple für die Reparatur bzw. den Austausch des Ipod Classic 120 GB (2008) in Österreich verlangt, da mir Duschgel in den iPod kam und das Display bzw. die HDD kaputt ist (das Ding startet sich andauernd neu). Die Apple Support Seite ist zwar schön und gut, aber sehr uninformativ und es sieht auch so aus als würde Apple für eine Information am Telefon Geld verlangen, unsympathisch.
Danke für die rasche Antwort.
MFG

HT2292 How can I get my ipod classic to show up in devices in itunes?

I need help. My Ipod classic does not show up in devices. I go to device manager and it does not show up.
help

Apple's documentation doesn't mention this as far as I can see: however it's correct that subscribed calendars could not be viewed on MobileMe (though they did sync to other devices: however it would seem that what was synced was the details of the subscription, not the calendar itself, so that effectively the other device just subscribed to the calendar afresh).
I think that, subject to correction from someone who's managed to do this it's a safe assumption to say that you cannot view subscribed calendars on the iCloud website, and that this is very likely a limitation of the CalDAV process.

How do i get my ipod to go from syncing with windows 7 to windows 8?

Bought new songs and they won't sync onto my ipod when I plug it in because my new computer is Windows 8 and my old one was Windows 7. It syncs the songs from 7 but not the new ones I downloaded with windows 8

Move all of your content from the old computer to the new computer.
Then connect the iPhone to the new computer and sync.

My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
Any help would be apprecated.

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.
