  • Why won't contacts sync to iPod classic even though music and calendars do?

    Why won't contacts sync to ipod classic even though music and calendars do?

    I have found a way.  Not elegant, but it does work.
    Itunes looks for a contact list on your mac.  But, if you are signed up for iCloud, it appears your contacts are actually on iCloud, not your Mac.  So, you see your address book (left column) shows headings for "on my mac" and for "iCloud".  If you select "on my mac", no contacts appear.
    However, you can drag contacts or groups of contacts from the iCloud list to the on my mac list.  They will then sync to your iPod classic.
    Of course, you'll have to periodically some housecleaning as you modify the contacts that are in the cloud, but it does work.

  • How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
    But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
    Leave everything checked.
    Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away.

  • Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

    why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

    Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
    If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

  • Why wont my entire music library sync onto iTunes on my MacBook Pro? Why will only my purchased music from iTunes sync?

    Background Info
    I recently took my MacBook Pro 2011 to the Genius Bar because I was having issues with the logic board. Unfortunately the computer would freeze, emit three continuous beeps and basically render it useless every time I turned it on. Thus I was unable to do a more recent back up before taking it into the store.  The first time I took it in, they said that the RAM and the logic board looked fine after running system diagnostics. They held onto it for about a week and when I got it back they had said that it was simply an operating system issue and that they had wiped it and reinstalled Mavericks instead of Yosemite which I had been running previous to my issues. However as soon as I took it home, the issues persisted and so I returned to the Genius Bar in hopes that they would see that the logic board was having issues. This time they sent it off to Texas to have all of the faulty parts replaced for a flat rate which included my logic board and optical drive. When I picked it up the lady at the Genius Bar said, "Good news, we didn't have to touch any of your files so they should all be on the MacBook."  Alas they had already been wiped in an attempt to fix my laptop that failed. So all of my music from CD's as well as mp3 downloads of recordings done by boyfriend and other small artists not purchased from iTunes are gone.
    Issue at Hand
    I just got my MacBook Pro 2011 back after having it wiped by the folks at the Genius Bar. With only an old back up from 2 or 3 months ago on my external hard drive, I don't have a lot of my more recently downloaded music saved anywhere. All of my iTunes purchased are easily retrievable from iCloud and what not but mp3 downloads of personal recordings done by boyfriend and other small local bands, mp3's purchased on Amazon, mp3's purchased from Bandcamp, free mp3's from Soundcloud artists, etc. will not sync over to my MacBook. All of these songs are still on my iPhone 6 thank goodness but I would very much like to sync them over to my MacBook. If anyone knows how I can overcome this, please let me know. Thank you very much.

    Basically anything not purchased from iTunes that is on my iPhone 6 will not sync over to my MacBook. I have tried to just manually back it up but only the purchased music will sync over to iTunes.

  • Why won't my iTunes library sync to my new iPhone 4s?

    I recently got a new iPhone 4s and I tried to sync my music from my iTunes library onto my music library on my 4s. But when my laptop said the sync was complete I checked my 4s and my music wasn't there. I then went to the iTunes store on my 4s and tried to download all of my songs from there but again, I checked my library and it was empty. My iTunes is updated to the newest version and my songs transfer onto my iPad right away with no problems so I don't see why there is a problem with my iPhone. I have tried manually putting the songs on my iPhone but that didn't work either. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know as this is a very annoying problem.

    Hello, lmd2015. 
    When receiving a sync session failed to start alert, I would recommend closing all open applications in multitasking, power cycling the device and restarting iTunes.  Attempt the sync again after processing these steps.

  • I am unable to access previously purchased music to sync to my new ipod from my library.

  • On my ibook G4 v 10.4.7, I have itunes verison 4.7.1(30) and a new shuffle. Even though I downloaded the newest version of itunes I still cannot sync music from my itunes to shuffle. What do I need to do to accomplish this?

    On my ibook G4v 10.4.7, I have itunes v 4.7.1(30) and even though I have downloaded the newest itunes version I still cannot get my itunes to recognize the shuffle to sync my music onto it. What do I need to do to get music onto the new shuffle?

    Hi, you need to upgrade to 10.5.x...
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10 or later4
    Internet access is required; broadband recommended; fees may apply
    http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/specs.html
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

  • HT4235 Bought an ipod but it will not sync with itunes.  Diagnostics passes everything but the sync test says "no ipod found" even though the computer shows it and itunes shows it but is still doesn't sync.

    I purchased an ipod shuffle (5th generation I think).  It is recognized by the computer and recognized by itunes but will not sync with itunes.  Ran diagnostics and all passed but when it got to the sync test, it says "ipod touch, iphone, or ipad found".  When I put on earphones, it tells me to sync with itunes.  But it will not.  What a person to do?

  • All of my music didn't load to new ipod classic

    Hi. The headphone jac on my daughters Classic was bad so I brought the IPOD to Apple Store Twenty Ninth St on 7/29. The ipod was out of warranty. The serial number was 8L902EU42C7. They did not have a replacement part and said for $129, they would replace the unit which they did. New serial number is Q21270GF2C7.
    When we loaded it onto our MAC, all of the music didn't load. We have about 8,000 songsand only 5,000 loaded.
    Any advice? I reset it and tried again and the same thing happened.
    Any thoughts?

  • Itunes won't sync to my brand new ipod classic.  It says "The Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

    I have been onto Apple by phone, and into the Apple store where both of them recomended that it gets replaced.  I did, got a brand new ipod classic, and i still have the same problem.
    I have attempted to restore, but it won't let me for the same reason.
    On a couple of occations it starts to sync!!  however it goes through practicly the whole syncing process (12,000 songs, heaps of videos) and then just freezes up! The little rainbow orb spins forever until i have to force quit.
    I have had my old ipod and my partners ipod regestered and used on the one itunes with no complications whatsoever, our old ipods sync perfectly with no problems at all.
    very frustrated.
    Is it my Ipod Box?
    Or is it Itunes?
    or does it not like me having more than two ipods registered?
    with the last new ipod which was replaced and the current new ipod that's a total of 4 ipods regestered on the one itunes
    My partner has a Dell Laptop with Microsoft.  I downloaded Itunes on there, ripped one cd, formatted the current new ipod, and it synced the one cd i ripped with no trouble at all.
    Has anyone else had the same problem with their Ipod Classic?
    Mick

    Is iTunes up to date (10.7)?  Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB or using a different USB cable?
    I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread to check your Hard Drive's health.  He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • ITunes 10.6.1 (7) freezes when syncing brand new iPod Classic

    In my attempts to sync a brand new iPod Classic (160 GB) with iTunes I only get a freeze up of iTunes, where only a force quit helps to terminate the hang. I have of course done all the usual, i.e. restored the entire iPod Classic, restarted my Mac, made sure all software is the latest software. All to no avail.

    Syncing a 160GB iPod Classic, may take a long time, so better to stop all other process or apps, when you do it.
    Especially, disconnect all other USB devices and connect the iPod directly to the body of the Mac and not to the Keyboard USB port or any USB hub.
    I think you have done all other suggestions, that I can think of.
    Except doing a Disk Diagnostic on this new iPod, and send it back to Apple if the DD report is bad, refer to this earlier post by tt2

    Syncing my 6th generation Ipod Classic, I get loads of the same message, "Itunes could not copy songs into ipod due to error -50". The syncing then completes with only 15gb used space and 143 gb space free.

  • Why my ipod sync whole music library when connected all the time ?

    My itunes(latest)  everytime i connect my ipod (5th gen ) syncs all the songs from begining even though there is no new songs added ? Can someone please help me out this . This has been happening all the time and i have to wait all my thousand plus songs to get synced all the time !

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or maybe this:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
