Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you chosen any music to sync to it from the music tab in iTunes.

Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?

Computer says ipod shuffle synced, but no music shows up

Our family's computer crashed a while back, and my younger brother transfered the music from his ipod shuffle onto the new computer with help from my sister. Now he is trying to get the music back onto the shuffle. When he plugs it in the computer says that it is syncing and then that the sync is complete; however, there is no music transferred to the ipod.
Any thoughts on what to do? Thanks!!

He'll do better if he and everyone else in the family using the shuffle read this:

I wish to transfer all the music on my ipod (synced with my home computer) to my itunes on my work computer. Is this possible? I am concerned if I plug my ipod into the work computer, which has itunes but no music content, that it will automatically sync and wipe all the content from ipod. Can anyone advise?

Only if you use a third-party utility such as Phone to PC and only if you use the same Apple ID for your other computer.

IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages. It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

Transfer all of your content to the computer:
Tunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:

If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

Itunes is stating that my ipod has space but when i sync it itunes says i need an additional 1.32GB

Check carefully. Perhaps you are trying to copy 9 GB plus 1.3 GB for a total of 10.3 GB. That would give you the message you see.

Ipod is synced but not all music will play. The music shows on the Ipod but not highlighted and cannot click to play.

Provided the music plays 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/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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:

IPod will sync but takes nothing on

iPod will sync but phtos, apps, music etc. wont. All the right boxes appear to be ticked. I have tried a million things but so far the undoutedly obvious solution evades me. iTunes does my head in.

Okay, I believe I have found a reliable fix.
There is pain involved, however
On a Mac, one can hold down "Option" and click on the iTunes icon to bring up a dialog box allowing the user to choose a new library or to create a new library. I created a new library in a different location than my original and was then able to use iTunes's "Add to Library" option under the File menu to recover my purchases. Unfortunately I lost all of my metadata, including play counts, but I am now able to sync my iPod once again.
It looks to me as though the upgrade to iTunes 10.5 corrupted part of the library database in a way that isn't recoverable. Creating a new library and starting over seems to be the fix.
I hope this works for you. According to this Apple support doc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589) if you're on Windows, launching iTunes while holding down <shift> accomplishes the same thing as the <option> trick I used on my Mac.
Best of luck!

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

2 iPods, 2 accounts but same music files, Can I point both users to the same music files, or do I have to have a seperate copy on each user account?
Me and the wife both have an iPod, and Ive read there easier to manage if you use 2 user accounts.
However, can I store all my music MP3s in one place on the HDD, and just point each user account's iTunes to the one place?
Or do you have to have the music in each users folder?
Sorry Im brand new to Mac and an (ex) PC user
cheers

HT1349 My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?

My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?
My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number. I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".

This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.
Regards.
