  • IPod Classic 80-gig won't transfer purchases to iTunes Library, nor will it sync. Please help!

         My iPod Classic 80gb will not transfer purchases to my iTunes library. When I click the "Transfer Purchase" button, it says it's working, but then I get a pop-up which reads 'Attempting to copy the disk "OS" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)', and following that pop-up is another pop-up, which reads 'The iPod "William's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-69).
         I need to transfer the purchases, because I had to restore my laptop (Which is a PC, by the way) to the original factory settings, and I had to re-download iTunes. When I re-downloaded it, I logged in and everything, but all my music was missing. I clicked the "Purchase History" button in the account part, and I clicked the "Download" button in order to regain my lost music, and I waited about 45 minutes or so, only to come back to iTunes saying it had finished, when it had only re-downloaded 75 of my 279 songs.
         After this, I went into the help section of iTunes. In that, I clicked "Manage your media files," and from there, I clicked on "Find iTunes files." So, I did what it told me to do, which was to run a full scan on my PC, and I looked everywhere I could think of, and everywhere iTunes suggested my missing music might be located, only to find that I wasted my time.
         I am a musician, I CRAVE the music I listen to, and I'm constantly finding new stuff to listen to and research, and if I can't transfer my purchases or sync my device to my library, then that means I can't get new music to listen to on the go, and for me, that is an extreme issue. Obviously, restoring my device is not  an option, because I have nothing to sync it to to get my music back.
         Please, if anyone can help me with my situation, I'd be forever grateful.

  • I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on. After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod. Is there a way to do this

    I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on.
    After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Unfortunately, unless you have a backup and can restore the iTunes library to the new computer, you are stuck with the current state of the iPod. This is one of those things that makes doing backups so important.
    Unless your music is all purchased from iTunes (not from your own CD's that you imported into iTunes and then downloaded to the iPod), you will be able to re-download all your iTunes store music back to the iPod when you install iTunes on the new computer. When you first attach the iPod to the new computer and new iTunes the first time it will tell you that this iPod is synced with another iTunes library and let you initialize the iPod (which will erase everything on the iPod - so don't do this unless you don't care about the stuff on the iPod now).
    I've seen 3rd party apps in the past that will let you copy music/content from iPod to computer and bypass iTunes, but not sure if they still exist as this was several years ago.
    good luck

  • I have an iPod touch that will not turn on.

    Hello forums! I have an iPod touch that will not turn on. I have tried everything I can to turn it back on, but I just cant find the right thing. I dont know if it is in need of a new digitizer, or the battery is dead, but I would really appreciate some help. It is an iPod touch 3rd generation.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have an iPod classic that syncs my entire library, I'd like to buy a smaller iPod, a nano maybe for the gym. Can I use the same library or do I need to set up a new library for the 2nd iPod? Is that possible? I mean for one to have 2 iTune librarys?

    I have an iPod classic that syncs my entire library, I'd like to buy a smaller iPod, maybe a Nano for the gym. Would I need a 2nd iTunes library? Is that possibly, I mean for one person to have 2 iTune librarys/accounts?

    In other words, no. You don't need another iTunes Library for your new iPod
    Another iTunes Library, that's only if someone elses music is mixed in with yours and you want to create another Windows user account with their music in it.
    The iTunes Library is the master vault containing all your content, from there you create playlists or smart playlists specially tailored for the smaller iPod's storage requirements.
    For instance if the iPod can hold only 2,000 songs, then you create a smart playlist based upon those rules/limitation. Plus what type of music you like.
    You have a incredible degree of control with smart playlists, they update automatically so you only set the conditions for what goes into them. Including content from other created playlists and smart playlists.
    Then, when you hook up the smaller iPod, it has it's own sync options, "all of your music and playlists" or "only select playlists"  So you use the second option to select just the smart playlist you tailored for the new iPod.
    When you hook up the iPod Classic, only it's sync options are used, not the new iPod ones.
    I hope I explained it better this time.

  • We have some 3rd generations iPod touches that are note syncing with the computer we have. The original computer that the ipods was synced to is gone. We downloaded the itunes to the new computer and logged on as the same account and it won't sync.

    An iPod can pn;y sync wiht one iTunes kibrary and the new computer is a new iTunes library:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:

    - Transfer other music by using a third-party probgram like one of those dicussed here:

  • HT1351 I have an Ipod classic which was the original device connected to Itunes.  I connected an Iphone 4S and can no longer see my Ipod classic.  How do I once again get it connected?

    I have an Ipod classic which was the original device connected to Itunes.

    The right way to consolidate your music is to copy it from one computer to another. You can copy music from an iPod classic though:
    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer:

    When the music is all in the same library, sync the Touch.
    You will still need to authorize your computer to play purchased music. For that, use the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

  • I have a Voice Memo recording in my iPod Classic which I want to transfer to the iTunes Library.  How can I do this?

    I have a Voice Memo recording in my iPod Classic which I want to transfer to the iTunes Library.  How can I do this?

    From here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
    Transferring a recording to a computer
    Manually
    Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on iPod in the WAV file format. If you enable iPod for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • I have an Ipod classic how do i delete song on there if i don't want them on there

    I have a Ipod classic and there are some songs I want to delete how do i do that.

    You remove it from the list of items in iTunes set to sync with the iPod, or if syncing it manually, select the iPod in the iTunes source list, find that music, and press Delete.
