    I have an ipod classic and just had to replace my laptop.  When I purchase music, while it downloads to my laptop, it no longer syncs to my ipod.  Any ideas? 

    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:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

    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.

  • My ipod classic 80gb shows an error code 1439 can it be fixed

    my ipod classic 80gb shows an error code 1439 can it be fixed or can anyone help please.

    Hey there tomhanson
    How are you?
    Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
    I did the following:
    My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
    The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
    It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
    Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
    Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
    I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
    Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
    If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
    Kind regards

  • 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". 
    See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
    See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.

  • I have an ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad can i use one account

    I have an Ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad.  Can the same account be used.  Can my purchases on my ipod touch be synced to my ipad?

    the only limits you'll face is if any of your iPod touch apps are for the iPhone only, they'll show up as tiny in the middle of the screen. There'll be a 2X button that'll allow you to zoom it up...some look better than others. All depends on how high resolution they are made.
    Other apps will be in the app store with a + by them, those are universal and scale to fit the screen they are displayed on. Other apps you'll need to buy the iPad version. And you'll find some apps that are iPad only.

  • I have an iPod Classic and when I try to move songs from my library to my iPod, my iTunes freezes. When I tried to eject my iPod, nothing happened and I had to force quit iTunes. When I unplugged my iPod, all of my songs had been deleted. What can I do?

    After attempting to move songs from my iTunes library to my iPod Classic, the pinwheel kept spinning and iTunes froze. I tried pressing CTRL E to eject the iPod, but nothing happened. I unplugged the iPod then force quit iTunes, but when I checked my iPod all of the songs had been deleted. I tried plugging the iPod back in and slowly moved music over again, but iTunes still froze. I don't want to restore it to factory settings because I am afraid of losing the pictures I have on there and can't figure out how to get them off.

    Are you using a Macbook?
    If all your songs on the iPod are deleted, most likely the photios are gone too.
    Unless you put the photos, via Diskmode.
    To recover the photos that you've put in Diskmode, use Finder to locate where it is in the iPod.
    Try also if iPhoto can locate those photos.
