HT1386 itunes recognises my iPod but it will not sync automatically?

When I connect my Ipod classic to itunes , it appears in  devices.  It used to automatically  sync and download songs to the ipod, this does not happen now.
What has gone wrong, I have installed the latest itunes update.??

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and make sure the box that says "Prevent iPods...syncing" is NOT checked

  • 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?

    Hi jarrinjack,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to try the steps in our iPod assistant:

    If the issue persists, you can also restore the iPod:

  • Updated itunes now my ipod touch 2g will not sync 13019

    I just updated itunes to the latest version for Lion (10.5.3) now my ipod touch 2g (4.2.1) will not manually manage my music and I get a 13019 error.  My Ipod touch 2g is up to date and I am running lion 10.6.8.   I tried the trouble shooting guide on the apple site for 13019 error to no avail.  I manually manage my music so I cannot go under sync and deselect memos. I have always manually managed my music, but I also deselected all other sync operations within the ipod.   Also when I try to delete duplicate files I also get the 13019 error. 
    Funny thing is when I add songs they show up on my device in the itunes window but not in the ipod itself, even though I get the error.  I have also been reading all the latest threads and they seem to point to duplicate files and
    I guess the last resort is to restore the ipod.  Why would the update cause my ipod to no longer sync? Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    I had to do a complete restore and start with a fresh Ipod.  I can add music and no longer get the error.  Now I will have to go through all my music and bring it over manually again.  I did not dare to restore all the music with the back up as I am sure that was causing the conflict be it duplicate files or corrupt ones.  I will be more careful with duplicates as they are all erased from my itunes library. 
    All is good now. 

  • I have a new ipod, but it will not sync with my playlists?

    I have changed my Ipod nan for a classic but it cannot access my playlists?

    Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists  and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
    Thanks to all.

  • Itunes recognises my Ipod but cannot see the files! need help

    Hi, when I open Itunes while my Ipod is attached to the pc, Itunes recognises my Ipod but cannot open it! The only recommendation I get is to totally reset the Ipod to the configuration of the factory but then I will lose all of my files! Can someone advise me what to do? Is there another option? hope someone can help me with this! thanks
    ps I tried copypod, but unfortunately it does not work. I have two files on my ipod that are damaged but I am not able to remove them! I think these two files are the problem.

    When I want to do something like you're describing, I open itunes, then select Edit-Preferences.
    I leave that window open and then connect the ipod. I can then use it as a disk in windows explorer.

  • When my iPod Touch is connected to my Mac, and I select Update to update the software of my iPod Touch, I get a message saying that my iTunes software is current, but it will not update my iPod Touch software.  Is there a bug in the iPod program?

    If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:

    I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.
