I have an 80GB ipod which wont sync

When I connect to iTunes the iPod is not recognised. The device says that it is connected, and after a short time the library freezes. The device only appears in the left hand column after it is disconcerted. At the same time I get a warning that tells me that the device is corrupted. This warning aprrears on top of the restore box, but when I close the warning it also shuts the restore box. I have rebooted the device and also re-install iTunes. CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE

  • I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes using a designated email address.  However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email account. How can I transfer my ipod to the same account as the iphone

    I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou

    iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID.  So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account.  Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

  • I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • I have a 80gb ipod classic and i cannot get it to sync anymore since I updated my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do

    I have a 80gb ipod classic and i cannot get it to sync anymore since I updated my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do?

    Does the device show up in Windows Explorer when connected?
    Have you tried going into Control Panel > Programs & Features > iTunes > Repair?
    Have you proved the cable with a different device, or the device's connectivity with a different computer?

  • I have an old Ipod which I loaded music many years ago. . .I no longer have the itunes which I originally loaded, however, I have a new itune account with songs loaded. . what will happen if I load these songs onto my ipod today?

    I have an older ipod which many years ago I loaded my music from Itunes on another computer. . .that computer crashed. . .I now have a new Itunes account and music loaded on another computer. . I would like to add songs onto my ipod. . .can this be done?

    Not without erasing what is currently on the iPod first, since an iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time.
    A better way to go about it, is to copy everything currently on the iPod to your new iTunes library first.  Then connect it to iTunes and either choose the Erase and Sync option or restore the device to allow it to start syncing with the new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    While it is connected in iTunes, click on your iPod in the Source Frame under devices and then check the Summary tab in the frame to your right. At the bottom, under options, do you have it set to Manually Manage your music?

  • I have a 80GB Ipod and it is not recognized by itunes. It seems to have occured after upgrading to itunes 10.

    I have a 80GB Ipod. Its been working fine for the past couple years, unitl now. I haven't downloaded any new music on to the Ipod in months. So I usually charged it directly from an outlet. I updated the itunes just recently, so I think it maybe the itunes itself.  I plugged the Ipod onto my computer like always and it read connected, but it never opened up the Itunes like it usually does. Opened Itunes manually and my Ipod didn't show up on the device tab or anywhere else. Tried to reset it...that didn't work. Re-downloaded Itunes, that didn't work either. Once it showed up on Itunes, so tried restoring, but it said that it could not work,because it showed the Ipod as being used somewhere else? At that time it showed up on my computer as a device with a removable storage. Not sure what else to do. Do anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks But all those options assume that my IPOD is being seen by windows.
    I get this error when I connect and the software is trying to install the drivers

    Hello Casey B,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try re-installing the latest version from this page on top of the current installed version and see if that helps.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If nothing else, remove the Application from your Mac entirely, and again download the latest version from the link above.

  • HT1386 I have an 80GB iPod that was purchased in 2007 and I cannot figure out how to sync it using the "newer" iTunes format.  Can anyone help?

    I have an older iPod (80GB) which I used to be able to sync, but now the iTunes format has changed and I cannot figure out how to sync it.  The tutorial showed a page that should pop up when the device is connected to my authorized PC, but that page does not appear.  Any suggestions?  I need to sync my device to transfer newer music.

    If you have a PC, Control S brings back that familiar side bar on the left side. That might help.  I'm also going to askt he hosts to relocated this post in the iPod forum. This is the iPad part and you may get more device specific info there.

  • I have a 80gb ipod & a 30 gb hardrive, can I sync, delete & add more songs?

    I bought an 80gb Ipod as a present and I want to fill it up. But I only have a 30gb hardrive. Is it possible to sync all the songs I have in Itunes to my Ipod, then delete the songs in Itunes, add new songs and then sync the new songs to the Ipod without delete the previously synced songs on the Ipod? If so, how can I accomplish this?
    Thanks!

    You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
    However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
    What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
    At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.
    Backing up your iTunes library.
    The iPod is not reliable enough to use it as a long term storage device, and these forums are littered with posts from people who decided to use it as such and ended up losing all their music.

  • HT1386 itunes recognizes my ipod but wont sync. I have just done a system restore.

    After system restore, ipod wont sync. itunes recognizes my device but sync starts and then abruptly stops.

    Are you still signed into your Apple ID on the iPod? Just noticed that you have the iPod classic. Maybe you would be better off posting elsewhere. Try here.

  • New ipod touch wont sync and a frozen screen what do i do have restored it but nothing

    I have a new ipod touch  just put it on the computer for the first time and it wont sync and has a frozen screen.
    i have restored it and that did not work.

    Unplug your iPod from your computer and hold down the home and power buttons until the screen turns off. Then hold them again until the Apple logo shows. Eventually, your iPod should work again.

  • Genius Bar Response to 80gb iPod Classic not syncing to iTunes 9.0

    Ok so basically I have been having the same problems as every other 80gb iPod classic owner that has been on this discussion board. Ever since I downloaded the new iTunes update, my ipod has been unable to sync to my computer. Now I've tried all the suggested troubleshooting steps (uninstall, restore, reset, different computer, etc) and NOTHING works. Basically when I connect my ipod I get the clicking noise it makes when it connects, however that is quickly followed by the annoying disconnect sound. My ipod does in fact show up in My Computer, but as far as iTunes is concerned, all I get is a window to pop up in the upper left hand of the screen saying "Verifying files". After that toggles through for about 5 min, I get the error message in the bottom right corner saying something along the lines of E: Ipod control could not be saved, etc.
    I finally got so frustrated that I made a genius bar appt. To my dismay, I got the exact response that I was expecting. The, otherwise friendly assistant, had no clue what the problem was with my Ipod. I described all my issues and he even tried restoring the ipod, tried a different computer, etc and after about 30 minutes all he could say was that he didn't know what the problem was. His worthless excuse was simply that it looked like I had some corrosion on the bottom of my ipod and so that might have fried a circuit or something. However my ipod was working completely fine before the new itunes update. In fact when I disconnect from my computer, my ipod seems to be working properly (i.e. it responds to my touch, it cycles through the menus, etc), but unfortunatly all my music is gone.
    As I'm sure is the case with most Classic owners, I have had mine for about 2 years and so I was of course out of warranty. My only options at this point are to pay ~ $140 to replace the same 80gb ipod or just buck up and pay $300 for the new iPod Touch. Considering I'm still convinced this is Apple's shady business tactic of phasing out the older gen ipods, I think my best bet is to go with the Touch.
    God I hate when they get shady like this.
    Good luck to anyone else.

    1. Your drive will retain the "dirty" status until it has been successfully scanned by a disk check utility.
    2. While there are a number of threads concerning this issue, which I've not personally experienced, I suspect that in comparison to the number of users this represents a tiny fraction of the overall user base. This is not to diminish your right to be frustated, but to point out that, while the problem is readily apparent to you, it may not be sufficently widespread to have come to the attention of Apple's iTunes team or present with enough regularity for them to determine the cause and hence begin the process of creating a fix.
    Between our family, for example, we have 3 iPod classics, (1 two years old, 2 brand new), a Nano & a 30Gb ipod Video all of which sync fine. Assuming you get no joy with the steps I outlined earlier it might still be worth checking the status of your iPod's hard drive to eliminate that as a possible cause of problems.
    Press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod then press *SELECT & REWIND* to enter the diagnostics screen. Select *Manual Tests > IO > HardDrive > HDD > HDDSMARTData*.
    For comparison here are my results:
    Retracts: 861
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2097
    Starts/Stops: 856
    Temp: Current 29C
    Temp: Min 10C
    Temp: Max 50C
    When finished press SELECT & MENU for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again. If you have any pending secorts that might indicate that there is a fundemental problem with your iPod's hard drive that, while not preventing you using the menus, is hampering iTunes when it tries to update the iPod.
