Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

    My Iphone 4 crashed yesterday after a restart and upload of OS 5.0, it will only partially sync.  It's not transferring any of my music or ringtones.  They still appear when I click open the sync screens on ITunes, but I don't seem to have an Ipod function and only one of my personalized ringtones transfers on the actual phone.

  • Itouch 4g in facetime got really hot at the top and then the screen changed to a very light blue.  I restored it and checked for updates, but the screen is still messed up and the itouch gets very hot.  This came on very fast.

    Can't get the screen back to normal mode after restoring it, and it still gets very hot at the top when using it in any mode.  Any suggestions?

  • What can I do to change the sound of a track in garageband?  It is "stuck" on electric piano setting and will not change. I've tried restarting, restoring sound library, full key reset, and checked for updates.

    Hi
    In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
    on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
    down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
    Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • I have installed itunes 10.7 several times.  All goes well.  After reboot, I go into itunes and check for updates and it says I need to download the update 10.7! (And so cant sync with my Iphone)

    I have installed itunes 10.7 several times, all goes well. After reeboot, I go to check for updates and it still wants to update to version 10.7! I cant sync to my iphone4 because I get an error message saying I need version 10.6.3 or later. Help

    Thank you for getting me started on the track by mentioning "Revo" Uninstaller.  The results of "Revo" spoke volumns on why a successful install of ITunes is so difficult to achieve.  It is the evil "BONJOUR".
    I then tripped upon the following site by Apple and the detailed directions (I read, printed, re-read and followed the instructions.  It was intense) brought a successful ITunes, Quick Time and the lovely Bonjour home.  Thank you for the start JD42.

  • HT5654 Im clicking help and checking for updates, the updates come up so I click to download it and nothing happens, help me?

    Ive clicked on help to check for updates, the update I needed came up so I clicked update and nothing happened, what do I do?

    Going by your profile your Mac has v10.5.8 installed. That is the most recent version available for Leopard.
    You may be able to upgrade to v10.6 Snow Leopard >  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
    Snow Leopard is available for purchase from the Apple online store > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
    With Snow Leopard installed, iTunes would be updated for you.

  • IPod classic fails to sync some tracks from iTunes

    I use an iPod Classic 160 GB with iTunes. Both are fully up to date. Every time I sync with iTunes roughly 500 of 5000 odd tracks fail to sync. This number fluctuates, but stays around the 500 mark. iTunes does not recognise this problem - it claims to have synced completely. It is only when I go through certain Albums I notice that some tracks are missing. It tends to affect the same artists, but different songs are missing within any given Album each time. (ie: a song may appear on the iPod one try, then be gone the next.)
    All my tracks are either AAC audio file or MPEG audio file. The problem seems to affect them irrespective of kind.
    There is plenty of space on the iPod, with over 100 GB free.
    I have tried Retry, Reset, Restart, Reinstall, Restore - all multiple times, with no result. I have tried syncing auto and manually, and wiping both iTunes and iPod every way I can think of. Still, when I sync, the problem remains.
    This problem is driving me crazy, especially since I can find no cause, and no applicable advice on forums. I have searched Help forums for answers, but everything that comes up either doesn't match or I have already tried with no result.
    Please help.
    If I need to give more detail for an accurate diagnosis please let me know.
    I will be eternally greatful to anyone who can help.
    Thank you, Jonny.

    I'm also having the same issue.  I have recently had to get rid of my old PC that my ipod was synced to and so have now had to sync my ipod to my new laptop.  The problem started as soon as I did this - at first it was saying that my laptop wasn't authorised in the itunes store, but it is and I have reconfirmed this.  All of my music was copied across from old computer but there are around 2000 songs not syncing.  If anyone can help it would be hugely appreciated, it's driving me mad! One other thing is that I went to download all of my previous itunes purchases to this laptop but only 3 of them actually downloaded - I had separately copied them across from my old computer anyway but wanted to keep the list of my purchases - when I go into my account it thinks I have downloaded everything so won't let me do it again.  I'm assuming both problems relate in some way to the new machine, but I don't know why.

  • IPod Classic fails to sync after adding new music

    Hi, so lately I've been having problems with my 160GB classic, I've always had problems with it but its gotten to the point where I am frustrated beyond belief. SO the problem arises when I add new music, it comes up with the error 'XXXX's iPod cannot be written or read'' and before it displays this message the sync usually sticks on a song, a random song that I would've added. I restored it a few times, scanned and fixed it a few times and then when I noticed I started skipping songs, some in mid-song I restored it again and the problem repeats itself. Help would be appreciated

    A few issues, but sorry let me try to understand.
    Adding new music, 'XXXX's iPod cannot be written or read'' can you let me know the number. most likely music format is not iPod Compatible like HE-AAC.
    started skipping songs  - these are normally due to corrupted ID3 tags, try converting them -File-> Advance -> IPOD version or use MP3 validator to fix all songs in the library. (My Apologies, only work for MP3 music that skipped)
    As for item 2, you can try Hard Reset if you like to download MP3 validator.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

  • IPod Classic failing to sync after a thousand or so songs

    I'm on an HP, OS Windows Vista, 120 GB iPod Classic black. I have the windows clean-up thing that works when the computer starts.
    My iPod works fine transferring songs, but after a 1000+ songs, it tells me that it cannot sync. I then restore, but then after I tried again, same problem happened. Help?

    Mine was 2 years old and this same thing happened. I took it to the Apple store for a Genius to look at, they said the software was corrupted and to restore my iPod. I did and it worked.

  • Ipod Classic Won't Sync with ITunes - Windows 7

    I've been having some problems syncing my Ipod up with my Itunes.  The last time I had a successful sync up was probably 2 and a half weeks ago.  I've tried multiple solutions already but havne't had any success yet.  I tried reinstalling itunes, switching usb ports, resetting my ipod by holding in the center and top button, launching itunes in safe mode, switching computers to see if it will install on my PC instead of my laptop, and I have tried switching USB cables.
    Everytime I try to sync it up the same thing happens.  On the Ipod's screen it will read "Connected Eject Before Disconnecting", however on my computers screen it will not appear under devices.  I opened up My Computer to see if I can at least see it there and my Ipod does appear there for about 20 seconds and then it will disapear.  It's as if the Ipod disconects itself....however it continues to receive electricity from the computer cause I can see it charging.
    Has anyone had this problem and knows of a way to fix it?

    one more thing... once you're finished and you want to get your ipod out of disk mode...
    Hold down the center button along with the menu button and then your ipod will turn of
    After that step has been completed and your ipod is switched off you turn your ipod back on but press the play/pause button so that it switches from disc mode to non-disc mode.
    Well then your ipod is back to shape and you can carry on listining to your music!

  • My ipod classic will not sync all of my games. Says it cant find them when they are there

    My ipod recently stopped syncing all of my games. The message says that itunes cant find them when they are where they always were. Can anyone help me with this issue? I have tried uninstalling everything and then reinstalling and nothing works. Three of my fourteen games will not sync, and they are the ones that I play the most.

    Hello bardwell,
    Try rebooting your computer to see if that makes a difference.  Otherwise, use the Get Info window for these games to determine where they should be located on your PC.  Then navigate out to that location to see if they are actually still there.
