I wanted to sync my ipod classic to itunes when this note popped up " Iphone 153" was not copied to the ipod " The ****** iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod

Have no idea why this popped up, and now itunes will not sync my ipod , what do I do now?

The Problem:
This could be due to a variety of situations.
1) The podcast video file is not in a format supported by your iPod Nano, the iPod Nano 5th Generation supports video formats .m4v .mp4 or .mov in a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels.
2) There isn't enough space on your iPod, check the size of the video compared to the space available on your iPod.
3) The third possible problem is that the podcast provider may not have properly uploaded the video file.
4) The video may not have been downloaded properly in iTunes.
Possible Solutions:
1) Update to the latest version of iTunes and check that the software on your iPod is up to date
2) Try to re-download the podcast from iTunes
3) go to the podcast provider website and see if they have a direct link to download the file.
Hope this helps solves your problem.

Hi, cant sync my ipod classic, i get a message of unknown error occurred (-50) any suggestions to rectify. tried norton security but ok from their side

see subject

Hi johnatlundin!
I have an article here for you that addresses this error code:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Help! I can't get three movies that I purchased from iTunes to sync with my iPod classic. Anyone have any suggestions?

When I sync my iPod classic with iTunes, it doesn't download three movies that I purchased from iTunes. Anyone have any idea why and what I need to do about it?

We could if we had a little more information.
What is happening when you try to sync them?
Any error messages or numbers?
What version of iOS are you using?
What country are you located in?

Hello Zabagon,
I was looking through our resources for information based on what you are describing here. I found an article that may just get you back up and running, called iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277.
Symptoms
With Mac OS X, the Shared folder is required to authorize your iTunes Store purchases. With Windows the iTunes folder is also required. If either of these folders are missing or have incorrect folder permissions, you may notice one of the following symptoms:
You are unable to complete a purchase from the iTunes Store.
You are told that you do not have permission to modify your iTunes Media folder when downloading from the iTunes Store.
You cannot play content you purchased from the iTunes Store.
An alert appears with the following text:"There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required directory was not found or has a permission error."
Resolution
Collapse All | Expand All
Mac OS X
Log in to your computer using an administrator account.
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type: "/Users" (without quotes) and click Go.
Take care,

My computer has had a new operating system put on Windows 7 but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authorised.

My computer has had a new operating system put on (Windows 7) but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authororized. I tried doing this via my account in the Itunes Store but it still won't allow me to do this. Can anyone help?

Contact Apple customer support, they can reset your authorizations.

Syncing my iPod classic with Itunes on Windows 8

Hello,
I completed an itunes update a few days ago. Since that time; I have been unable to sync my iPod classic with my library or even manage it. I have been searching and see that this has become an issue for many people who use Windows 8. Is there any way I can fix this issue? I do not want to manage my iTunes music on the cloud. I just want to be able to plug in my iPod and manage it through iTunes. Is there any way I can do this?
I contacted support for assistance, but didn't really receive any answers to my questions. The first reply was asking me what my issue was (when I had already wrote a lengthy explanation of the issues I was having) and the follow-up said that I needed to call to speak with a representative to see about support options including fee-based support. I don't feel that I should have to pay fee to understand why I can no longer sync my iTunes with my iPod. I have many songs in my library and I have paid for them all. Why can't I have access to them on my iPod? As it is; I can't even manage my playlists anymore.
I am considering selling my iPod if I can't get this issue resolved. I really don't want to because it is still fairly new, but I don't see any reason to keep it if I can't use it.
If anyone has any feedback or knows something that might help me get this sorted out I would be very grateful!
Thanks--

how did you fix it?

HT1459 how do you sync the Ipod classic with windows 8 and Itunes

I am having problems syncing my Ipod classic with Itunes using windows 8. Can anyone help with this problem?

Sync it the same way any other iDevice would be synced on any other version of iTunes running on Windows or a Mac.
Plug it in.
Select the content desired to sync.
Sync.

I added 2 cd's to itunes 11, I have an ipod classic 30gb, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

Hi Ihave an ipod classic 30gb, i imported 2 cd's into itunes on win xp pro sp3, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

It depends on how you previously added content to the iPod? Or are saying the iPod is currently empty, and you want to add these albums to it?
If you want to sync your entire iTunes music library to the iPod, which may or may not be just these two albums at this point, you can do the following. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. If you are using the latest iTunes 12, you do this by clicking the "device button" on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top). The button's icon looks like the connected device.
On the iPod's screen, there is a sidebar (along left side of window). In the sidebar, under Settings, click Music. To the right, the iPod's Music settings screen is shown, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod. Near the top, there is a checkbox for Sync Music. Check that box to enable automatic syncing. NOTE: If that box is not already checked, checking it will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your iTunes library. Any songs on the iPod now that are not in your current iTunes library will be lost.
Below that setting, there are two options for how to sync songs. 30GB is a decent amount of storage space, so if your entire iTunes library can fit on your iPod, you can use the option to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply. iTunes syncs your entire iTunes music library to your iPod. Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library (such as adding more albums or songs) will sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected).
If your situation is different, please reply back with more details.

I am having trouble with syncing my ipod classic to my new computor with itunes

When I have tried to sync my ipod classic to my new computor is asks of I want to erase and sync or transfer. I selected erase and sync and it pops up with a bubble asking for my e-mail and password. The computor has been authorized and it takes my e-mail and password but then pops up with three other e-mals form other people. What do I do? Should I restore the ipod classic????????

Kim, sorry, but I couldn't get what you are trying to do.
iTunes jargon
RESTORE - to erase all data, ie music, address, video etc in the connected iPod and populate them with factory settings.
Why do we need to do this? When the iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted and the iTunes cant map the iPod hardisk file structure, to add new data, music, videos etc.
SYNC - The process, where iTunes overrides all data, music, videos in the iPod, with the iTunes Library. So if the iTunes library in your PC is blank, then iTunes will erase your iPod, till blank.
iTunes Library - the folder in your PC/MAC that contains all your data/music/video etc. The iTunes does not treat the iPod as a store, but rather as huge landfill, so you need 3rd party software to recover any data from the iPod back to the PC/MAC.

Does my iPod Classic 30GB, software version 1.3 work with Lion and iCloud?

I have a iPod Classic, 30GB, software version 1.3 does it work with Lion?

only iOS devices like ipod touch(in wifi), ipad(in wifi), or iphone(in wifi) can sync automatically without the dock connector
so yes you do have to sync them onto your classic

When I sync my iPod Classic, the changes I made (Ratings, Last Listened) do not show up on my computer.

Try another Sync. On occasions, I've know a first Sync to behave like this.

I am getting a -50 error when trying to sync my IPOD Classic with XP.

I am getting a -50 error message when trying to sync my IPOD Classic with ITunes. My computer is running WIndows XP.

Given that you're on XP, we'd better try the following document:
