I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod to my computer.

I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. It gets stuck on the last step saying, "Waiting for changes to be applied." It's been doing this for the last half hour. Is there anything I can do to correct this or is am just going to have to restore my iPod?

You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer. If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
What "trouble" are you having?

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.

Hi, i'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. (after the latest iTunes-update)

It's a classic, but I have no idea what generation... but it was bought in early 08, and have 80gb. Anyway, it has been working fine all the time, but by the latest iTunes-update, it has stopped working. (mac) Every time I try to connect it with my computer, iTunes says that "this iPod appears to be destroyed, try to restore" (I'm having iTunes in Norwegian, so not sure if this is the direct translation, but hopefully you'll get the picture) - and I try to do this, again and again, but nothing seems to work. I have tried to turn off the computer, put iPod in disc-mode, let the battery run out, give it a two-week break, and now I'm out of guesses on what to do. But no matter what I do it allways appear to have zero songs on it after I am done syncing, and I allways get the "try to restore"-message when i connect it again.
It's possible that it's just old age or something, but I really want to try everything first, as it seems to be all right otherways. It also works when I connect it with my friend's PC, but since she has ****** taste of music () it's not an option. I have a MacBook, also from 2008.
And just to clearify. I have an iPad2, and an old iPod nano (2006) and both works with my computer/iTunes.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Updating my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS5 - I'm having trouble with syncing in general.

I first synced my iPod touch to my old computer on iTunes, and then I got my laptop and I downloaded iTunes, plugged in my iPod, and use it to download music. But the old computer broke, and we got a new one, with a different hardrive and everything. I didn't mind, because I was content with just using iTunes on my laptop for searching for and downloading music. The iOS 5 update came out, and at first I wasn't bothered, but now it seems to be hindering the performance of iTunes in general, as I can't download music off my computer - it keeps coming up with Error 13019.
I looked on tons of support forums, and they all mentioned syncing music and apps. I didn't think that would be a problem, but whenever I tick the box saying 'sync music', the memory bar goes RIGHT DOWN, as if it's deleting all the songs I got off CDs, which I don't want, and whenever I tick the box saying 'sync apps', it comes up with all the apps I had a few months ago, missing out all of the apps I have now, which would no doubt delete my progress on them.
I've even tried just clicking 'sync' on the main device page, but it just comes up with Error 13019.
And every time I right click on my iPod's name to click 'back up' as many of the forums said, iTunes freezes and nothing happens for about 10 minutes, and I end up having to force close it on the task manager. This has happened 4 times already. -_- I've even updated iTunes to the most recent version, but nothing's changed.
I'm scared to update my iPod, because of course it says it will delete everything, and there's no way I can back things up or sync them without them getting deleted.
Any suggestions on what the heck I should do? By the way, I'm an amateur in the technology world, so please don't use too many fancy words. =)

Try here first to get rid of the error:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
Then you should be ablt to make the backup. Just not that the backup that iTunes makes does not insluced synced media like apps and music.
iTunes: About iOS backups
- You can transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:

- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here. Google for more.

Having issues with syncing my ipod.

I am unsure if it's my ipod or itunes messing around, but since the update to 9.1, everytime i attempt to sync my ipod, it frezzes my laptop. After i disconnect it, it comes up with the message "the ipod 'nick's' cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to". I have tried the 5 'r's more than once each, except for restore, as it doesnt show up in itunes and i don't know how to restore it without it. I also tried downgrading back to 9.0.3 and i still had the problem. I always safely disconnect my ipod aswell.
Any ideas on what's wrong? and anyone know how to restore an ipod without using itunes?

Restore...
Note that it's easy to do but it's quite time-consuming. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Having problems with syncing my iPod to my mac and trying to purchase a song but iTunes keeps saying "can't connect to server??

just got a new mac- been using PC. Having problems syncing my Ipod to my mac and when i try and purchase a song, itunes says "network connections timed out"- what am I doing wrong??

Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
This does not lose any data on your iPad.

Hi, i'm having problem with syncing my Ipod. Please help me.

I tried to transfer apps from my ipod to my computer, it said there is not enough space in my ipod, it really took about 500MB of space in my Ipod for nothing! how can fix that? and is Itunes always keep it's downloaded file (like Ipod Firmware update) in my computer's C drive?

I am a little confused. In some places your say there is not enough space on your iPod and other times you indicate that there is not enough space on your C drive. How much available space do you have on your iPod? How much is taken up by "other". With you iPod connected to the computer the Summary page of iTunes for your iPod will breakdown the usage. How much free space is available on your C drive?

Help with syncing my ipod to new computer!!!!!

I got a new computer recently with windows 7 installed. however, it doesn't have my itunes library from my previous computer. This is only on my ipod touch. I have put a few new albums onto my computer, but can't put these onto my ipod; i would sync the ipod with my new library, but i think that would get rid of all the music that's already on my ipod? What i would like to know is how i can get all the music on my itouch onto my computer's itunes library (i'm not bothered about losing the few new albums i've just put on there)
thanks very much, Simon

Where is your backup? You should always have a backup.
Itunes store does not keep a copy of your music for you. The only way it would be on the new computer is if you put it there. Once you download a song once, then you must keep up with it and move it wherever you want.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
When you sync your ipod to a different computer, it will first erase the content from the ipod, then replace it with content from the new computer.

All sorts of trouble with syncing my iPod?

I have an iPod Touch 5th Gen, 64 GB, iOS 8.0.2. Which was only just recently updated; along with my iTunes version 11.4.
This is run on my Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
Ever since updating the software my iPod is taking up to an hour to Sync, even just a few items. After finally completing the sync, certain playlists, songs, albums etc. don't end up transferring.
I've tried multiple times and made sure items are 'checked'. But it's getting quite frustrating waiting so long for nothing.
Would be incredibly grateful if anyone knows a way to solve this conundrum?

I am having trouble with syncing my iPhone 5 to my iTunes on my macbook

I have been trying to sync my iphone 5 with my macbook but itunes keeps saying 'error (-54)'. I downloaded new albums and they will not sync onto my iphone, and this has never been a problem in the past. Also, on my itunes, when i click on 'Iphone' it shows some of the song titles faded out with a dotted circle beside them, indicating that they cannot be played. I have tried restarting my mac but it has not worked. Could anyone help me?

Hello, katieokane1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a possible permission issue with the iTunes Media Folder. Follow the steps in the article below to make sure the permissions are set to read and write. You can also navigate to ~/music/iTunes/iTunes Media and get info on to make sure permissions are set to read and write.

Having trouble with updated iTunes - iPod Nano 1st Gen.

My iPod Nano [1st Generation] won't update or anything with iTunes 7.0!!! It worked with iTunes 6, but I downloaded 7 and it messed up my iPod - I tried deleting iTunes 7 and redownloading 6, but when I finished doing that, and I tried to get 6 to load, a window popped up that said "'iTunes Library.itl' cannot load because it was created on an updated version of iTunes" or something along that line. So now my songs are completely gone, I have NOTHING on my iPod because I had to delete iTunes 7... WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?!?!

I tried to get 6 to load, a window popped up that said "'iTunes Library.itl' cannot load because it was created on an updated version of iTunes"
