I can't sync music or manually add after updating to iOs 8.0.2

I tried to add new songs to my iPod 5th gen earlier and it gets stuck on "Preparing to Update" or some other step. I did a restore and it did add some songs but only half of my iTunes. It shows up on my iPod but with an icon next to it (square with circle around) but actually song is not there. Have done a restore multiple times over but nothing. Not sure if this is part of the iOS upgrade issues. Apple really needs to get it together as I didn't pay to have an iPod I can't even use!

What do y mean by not working? I just clicked on all four lings and they opened/displayed the previous discussion in this forum.
Or you can just try:
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:                                               
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Can I sync music and manually add movies?

    This is harder than it seems. I want to sync my ipod to my music library, but still be able to add movies manually just like I can sync photos but manually add movies and music. I think I have the set up right because I got it to the point that I can drag a file into my ipod movies section and it copies onto it, but it is grayed out, so when my ipod updates like when i reconnect it, the movies are removed from my ipod. I just want to be able to add my videos to my ipod so i can get the off my computers hard drive and I still want to sync music. Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I see what you are saying, but as of now, it looks like you can only manually manage everything or automatically update everything. You can't mix and match.
    I'd tell Apple you'd like this feature...
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
    There is a workaround though. Try it with a with a video you can easily replace though. (And know it is always good to have a backup of the videos only on your iPod as wiping your iPod is a common troubleshooting step should anything go wrong).
    Put the video onto the iPod. Once it is, disconnect your iPod and make sure it works.
    Now go into iTunes and right click the video you just transfered and go to show file. Drag that file to the Recycle Bin. Now try to play the video in iTunes. An ! should appear next to it. That's okay. Now update your iPod. The video should stay on the iPod even though it is not on your computer (as long as the name remains in iTunes).
    If this works as advertised (;D), you can go ahead and do this. A couple of reminders though...
    1) Make sure the videos are on the iPod first and work on the iPod before you delete any files.
    2) Make sure you have backup up any videos you can't replace in case something happens to your iPod.

  • I can't sync my iPod touch 4 after updating to ios 5

  • Can't sync iPod Touch 4th Gen after updating to IOS 6.0

    I've updated my 64GB iPod Touch 4th Gen to IOS 6.0, but now I can’t sync it with iTunes.
    It connects OK, but iTunes isn’t detecting what is already there - it thinks it is full of 48MB of “Other” (rather than music, apps, photos, etc.). In other words iTunes isn’t detecting what is already on the iPod properly (it just knows it’s nearly full of something).
    So if I try to sync, iTunes thinks it needs to add all my music, etc. again, and therefore says it’s way over capacity (i.e. 48MB of “other” + 48 MB of all my music, etc.).
    Help! Any suggestions?

    - Try resetting the car system if you can.
    Sometimes this works
    - 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.
    - 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:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    However. sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. In that case you will have to wait for a firmware update to either the care system or the iPod.

  • Can't sync photo albums to iPad after update

    I just updated my ipad2 to 5.0, and am running the current version of iTunes on a windows vista pc. And can not sync my photo albums to my iPad 2. Please help? I tried and while in iTunes , when iPad is connected, the summary page says my photos are on the iPad, they are not actually on the iPad. I go to photos on the iPad and there are outlines of the albums with their names on them, but no pictures inside. Can anyone help please?:)))

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Playing music on my iPhone after updating to iOS 5.0.1

    After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS v 5.0.1 non of the songs I have purchased through iTunes will play on the phone.  It is not possible to synch the songs to iTunes and the songs are only visible on the phone. When playing songs  the songs on the phone are seemingly playing but no sound comes out. Can anyone help me?

    So... Have you tried a Transfer Purchases to get the songs too your computer? Then if they play there, you can delete them off the iPhone, and then sync them back on from iTunes.

  • Unable to sync app to iphone 4 after update to iOS 6.0.1?

    Hi,
    Follow this article for instructions on completely re-installing the iOS operating system; it sounds like some file may have gotten corrupted during your iOS 7 install.
    It's a good idea to back up your data first (to iCloud or iTunes), restore the iPhone to factory settings through iTunes, and then temporarily set the iPhone up as new to test the camera with a completely fresh copy of iOS.  If it still doesn't work after re-installing iOS 7 and setting up as new, you may have a hardware issue. 
    Good luck!

  • Can't sync iPhone/iPod to iTunes after update?

    After the latest iTunes update and I am not clear on how to sync my iPhone or iPod to iTunes. When I plug either of them in they charge but do not start up in iTunes at all. I have automatic syncing turned on but nothing happens. In the previous versions whenever I would connect a device a bar would pop up where I could change my syncing options for that particular device but not since the update. I do not like this new iTunes at all, I don't think it's very use-friendly and I'm still working out how to navigate it so maybe I'm just missing it altogether. Any help would be appreciated.

    I found removing everything apple related and re installing itunes fixed it for me...
    just go through your add/remove programs and ANYTHING apple related including bonjour   then re install itunes and connect your device.
    Hope this works for you.

  • Why won't my music sync on my iPhone 5 after updating to iOS 8.

    When I try to sync my music not all the songs come over onto my phone. The player sees what should be there and then skips them.

    I found a solution that worked for me. I had this same problem and I feel like I tried everything. No matter how many time I synced, the songs appeared to be on my phone, but they would just get skipped over if I tried to play them ("ghost" songs). The answer is not checking and unchecking artists/playlists/etc in iTunes. The phone still thinks the songs are there so it won't sync them to the phone. Here's what to do: go to Settings --> Music and then make sure "Show All Music" is off. Then go to the Music app and try to play through your songs. Now, when a song is skipped over it should no longer appear in the iPhone's library. Once all songs are skipped (could take a few minutes depending on the size of your library), the "ghost" songs will disappear. On the next sync iTunes will put them all back on the phone. Hope this helps.
