HT1386 I have a ipod classic and it is not syncing when I buy a song in itunes.

I have a new Ipod classic and when I first plugged it in to my computer, it downloaded all my songs I have had in itunes. But this is the first time I am buying songs off itunes and have bought 2 now, and they will not sync to my ipod. When I eject the ipod, it says syncronizing, but the songs do not show up. I have the download automatically box checked. ANY help greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks
Jennifer
p.s. I know I may be in the wrong area for this, but at the bottom it gives no option of ipod classic, and it is not a touch.

Is your iTunes account authorized for this computer in iTunes? - to check, open iTunes, and in the top menu bar, select "store", then "authorize this computer".

Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

I have an ipod classic and I can not put the muisc on my ipod classic from an external hard drive

I have a PC, and all my music is on the external hard drive. My ipod will not sync. At the present time I have nothing on my ipod classic. I want to put the music on my ipod and keep the music on the external hard drive. When I open itunes I see all my music, and I can play the music. The music will not synch with my ipod. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.

Have you checked to makes sure that the Sync Music option has been selected?
Connect the iPod to your iTunes and look on the Device/Music pane:

IPod Classic being recognised but not syncing when prompted?

My iPod Classic is apparently running the latest iPod software, and I've just updated iTunes to the most recent version but I'm having the same problem I've had with another laptop.
The laptop recognises the iPod, and shows it up in iTunes. I press Sync, and the screen on my iPod says 'Synchronising' for a few seconds, and goes straight back to 'Connected', with iTunes not saying anything about any syncing, and nothing transfers. I had this with my last laptop, which one Apple Genius in store couldn't work out an issue with though it still didn't work, and on my next visit it everything worked fine again (with my last laptop this was halfway through owning it, not a new one as I'd synced on it before)
Is this something that can be sorted easily?

I have an iPod Classic and the latest version of iTunes. I make all my purchases on my computer, but when I try to click the "add to" option and transfer the songs to my iPod, it doesn't work. How can I get my songs from my computer to my iPod?

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

I have an ipod classic and I did have a macbook pro but it crashed. Is there any way to transfer the music from my ipod without losing everything on the ipod. Because my new computer is a pc it wants me to reset my ipod but I will lose everything.

I have a ipod classic and my itunes will not download songs I have brought help

Are you sure the error message/prompt isn't referring to the amount of disk space available on your PC's internal hard drive? If you head to Start -> My Computer. How much space is free on your C: drive?
Maybe it would help if you could post a small screen shot of the error.

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.

WE have 2 Ipod classics and 1 IPod touch. One of the classics is not recognised by itunes library under devices and cannot be synchrinised with a playlist

We have 2 Ipod classics and 1 Ipod touch. One of the classics is not recognised by the itunes library and therfore canoot be synchonised with a playlist.

The second shuffle cannot be recognized by this computer ("USB Device Cannot be Recognized") so I don't think I'm able to reset it using that (it says "iPod is not recognized by iTunes, but is *visible in My Computer or in Device Manager* on a Windows PC, or in Apple System Profiler on a Mac.")
Like I said though, it works on other computers just fine and is visible so I don't quite understand what's up with this computer.

I have an ipod classic 120gb. Its not getting recognized by itunes.

I have an ipod classic 120gb. Its not getting recognized by itunes and i am unable to format it even though it says i must if i want it to appear on itunes. It does'nt work on any computer so its not the usb. ive reset it a few times but no luck. Any ideas?
Here is some of the info i got, im not sure however what they represent.
Retracts: 534
Reallocs: 216
Pending Sector: 62
PowerOn: 1253
Smart/Stop: 469
Temp:Current 27c
Temp:Min 5c
Temp:Max 56c

If Windows or Mac can recognise it, then reformat it using a Hardisk Partition tool, if not, it is time to replace the Hardisk.
The High Pending Number, indicates some bad cluster, which Hardisk firmware can't reallocate or remapped. This maybe due to, leaving the iPod in a Hot environment, damaging the Hardisk.

I have an ipod touch and now it doesnt sync properly. It gets to stage 1 of 3 of syncing( Which is 'backing up') Then it stops and itunes closes. Why wont this sync and what can I do about it?

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!
