I can't sync my iPod to iTunes on my mac or iPod.

I have a ipod touch 5th gen and i have enver had problems with it until now, I can't update any apps nor can i sync my ipod to my mac. I don't think its my apple id because I can sign into itunes on my mac but not on my ipod. When I plug my ipod into  my mac it shows that my ipod is conencted but when i press sync it says " This ipod cannot be synced because the sync session failed to start". When I try updating apps on my ipod it says "cannot connect to itunes store". My ipod is up to date and so is itunes on my mac, I have 16 gb of free space left and have reseted my wifi 3 times but I don't think thats the problem.

  • Getting Songs Form ipod to itunes on a mac?

    Okay,
    So up until recently, I had all of my songs on my pc. Until it got a virus andf most of the files were wiped. I can now only getaround half of the songs on my pc but everything is still on my ipod.
    Since i havea macbook pro i thought it was about time i transferred all of my music onto that anyway but im wondering how i can get the songs from the ipod to the mac?
    I would love it if anybody could tell me of any programs or anything that may come in handy.
    Thanks

    iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • I was trying to add an itunes library to my computer, and now my itunes library can not be found. An ipod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. How can I find my Itunes library, complete with playlists ?

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

    If your CDs are on your iPod/iPhone, they can be recovered from there,see this post:

    Your problem shows the importance of making backups.

  • Purchased the new ipod touch 4g.  I have a iMac osx G5 and can't sync it to my itunes.  Do I need to upgrade my software?

    I have an iMac OS X 10.4 and I purchased the ipod 4g.  I can't sync it to my itunes.  Do I need to upgrade my software? 

    You need OSX 10.5.8.  That is the lastest that a G5 can go.  Apple will sell you a copy for $129.  You have to call Apple since it is not listed in their on-line Store.

  • How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

    Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

  • HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    Yes by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
    - Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
    - After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.
