I'm trying to sync my Ipod on my PC and there are no devices listed in the Itunes sidebar
I'm trying to sync my IPod 160g classic to my PC and nothing happens. I just updated to the newest version of ITunes so I could follow some help from the internet but I'm not seeing any devices listed in the ITunes sidebar. I admit I'm not that familiar with Apple products! Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you. Thank you. Now my IPod shows up in devices and has synced. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Problem still exists in that I just imported a lot of my cd's into my ITunes library in ACC format but the IPod will not sync the new stuff. I've checked that the IPod has the latest software and recently updated to the newest version of ITunes. After getting the IPod to sync I get a warning that a lot of files could not be found. They all show up in ITunes and play fine.
Is there a way to identify the location to the IPod where these songs are. They are in the same location as everything else on my external hard drive. I've spent hours trying to resolve this and would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks again.

I just received a new mac and I am trying to sync my ipod to it but everytime I try it stays stuck on the "backing up" section of the sync. I have already unauthorized my other computers like the instructions said to but that did nothing. Please tell me what I should do or how to back up my device.
You are in iTunes for Windows.

I am trying to update my phone and the phone is frozen on a screen that has the itunes symbol and the computer connection showing.
I did not have itunes on my computer.
So I downloaded itunes set up which took an hour or so.
Now what do I do?Please check 2 things in your computer.
1. Right click 'My Computer' => Manage => Services & Applications => Services. Look for Apple Mobile Service at the top. Status must be STARTED. If stop, please start it.
2. Open iTunes in computer. For Windows 7, go to iTunes Store => Authorise this Computer => key-in your Apple ID and password when prompted. For Windows 8, press ALT and S together. A pop-up window would show information of authorising computer. Click Authorise this Computer => key-in your Apple ID and password when prompted.

i rented a movie from itunes. i was on a plane when i tried to access it...but got an error message saying "cannot access itunes store". i had a wifi connection but had to purchase internet to watch the movie on the plane. never had this problem with my ipad and never have it when i download tv shows. what's the deal with movies?
It's not normal, presuming that the movie downloaded completely, but it has come up from time to time. I've not been able to figure out from the various posts why rentals work for most but in some cases insist on a connection to the iTunes store. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps they can provide an explanation, though you may just get canned and rather inapplicable replies about how to rent or download.

Why the iPod is so funny while it can syn i week ago and now can't even find the iPod on the itune left hand column. I can still hear the sound when the iPod is plug in the PC, Why? I have install over a thousand songs and reinstall itune means to do it all over again. What a waste of time and energy? There are songs I can not retrieve again!!!!
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I transfered all purchased files from the ipod to the mac, but its only transferring purchases that I made directly from the itouch. I backed up my pc to a WD external HD, BUT it has to be formated to a Mac in order for it to be read by a Mac which obviously won't work because everything will be deleted from the HD in the reformat. I purchased a LOT of my music through Itunes and/or amazon. I don't care so much about the games, but if I lost all the music I have it would definitely be hundreds of dollars and obviously that's way unacceptable. PLEASE HELP!!!
You can redownload most iTunes purchases again via iCloud. See this article for more details.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I'm guessing your external HD is formatted as NTFS? You can add the capability for your Mac to read/write to NTFS formatted drives using additional software. Here is are a few possibilities.

I purchased a album on my ipad shouldn't it sync to my computer once i log in. I've been charged 2 times for the same purchase.
You can either connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases. Or, depending on which country that you are in, you might be able to re-download it on your computer's iTunes and for future purchases be able to use automatic downloads.

cannot connect my ipad with my laptop
Thanks, this helped. THere was a new version of iTunes I downloaded to my PC and now the iPad is recognized.
The problem now is that I get the message that I cannot backup my iPad as my PC is not authorised, even though when I click to authorize it says my PC is already authorized.
I will click through the forum to see if there is an answert to this. -
How to manually sync podcasts or music to an iPod using the newest version of iTunes? Please advise. Apple's i nstructions still say to drag to the iPod icon under "devices" on the left, but that's no longer there. The iPod word appears in the upper right but won't let me drag to it.

How can move the apps and playlists on my iPad to my Mac? Whenever I attempt to sync, I get a message stating that all apps and music on my iPad will be replaced by content from my Mac and there are no content. Thanks.
the apps will not be deleted if the itunes is authorised for the apple id from which you downloaded the apps.
for the songs if you have downloaded it from a store other than itunes an app "TuneAid" will help you. download the full version then you can copy all the songs on the ipad to ur itunes library -
I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:

When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message? -
I have an iPod Touch version iOS 4.2.1, 8 G capacity, and whenever iTunes tries to sync my iPod, I get an error message saying "Mobile Backup has encountered a problem and needs to close", and the sync fails. I have tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, and the same thing happens. What can I do to fix this problem?
Try:
