I need help syncing my ipod!

I have recently gotten some new music and videos, so obviously I wanted to sync my ipod.
So when I got on iTunes, it suggested that I update the software. So I did. Well later after the update when finished, I went to go sync my ipod. Well the +ipod service+ first tells me,"could not start service". Then iTunes pops up and tells me,"the software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the ipod's software."
So I stumped. I don't exactly know how to reinstall itunes or what I'm supposed to do. But I do know that every time that I try to re-update it, it doesn't work. Is there a way to get the update to go through?
Please help me!

So I stumped. I don't exactly know how to reinstall itunes or what I'm supposed to do

Then click the itunessetup.exe file that you downloaded.

Well I want to put all of my music on my Mac, But everytime I plug it in and ask it to sync all music it tells me that I have to erase my Ipod and sync in with the music on my Mac... Gosh its so confusing.

Need help syncing 4 ipods on one computer

Currently we have an Ipod touch, and three ipod nanos' (various generations). The touch is synced on a laptop, two of the nanos are synced on the kids' computer and a new nano is on its way to us now via the apple online store. What I want to do is put all of the ipods on our PC. Not everyone has the same music interest but some songs will be the same in each library. What is the best way to do this. ALSO, my husband and I use one Itunes account while the kids use another.
I have heard I should create user accounts on our PC for everyone and manage each Ipod through each account but I do not want duplicates of songs taking up space so I was told to create a shared library (just not sure how to do that)
I have also heard I should use one account and use playlists within that account to sync each ipod. This seems to be the easiest thing to do but wonder if it will work if we have two different itunes accounts.
Also will I be able to move my apps for my itouch over to the PC (they are on the laptop now) Thanks for any help you can provide.

Click here for options. The number of iTunes Store accounts doesn't matter unless it's more than five, but the number of libraries does. To transfer the applications, hook up the iPod touch and choose to transfer them from the dialog box which appears or the File menu in iTunes.

Need help syncing new ipod touch to Itunes.

I recently bought a brand new Ipod touch 5th gen. I have the latest update for itunes, I want to start syncing music to my Ipod. My computer will not bring any info for this ipod touch into itunes. I had a 4th gen and I know that I seen on the right hand corner, under the search store, there should be a little icon with your Ipod below. No where is my Ipod been found. Every time I plug the USB cord into the computer, I don't see anything come on the screen. All I see is the battery charging on my Ipod. I'm getting frustrated with this Ipod not allowing me to get any music. What am I doing wrong? I also don't see any summary pane for me to reset to factory settings and start all over. how can someone help me on this? I tried turning on and off both the Ipod and computer, nothing, still the same and no Ipod is to be found on itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

Just what version of iTunes do you have? For a 5G iPod/iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.. If you have a Mac yo need OSX 10.6.8 or later.
Does the iTunes still see the 4G iPod?
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
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 and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Need help sync'ing iPod Touch (not authorized error)

I have an iPod Touch (about year old not sure if 4th or 5th Gen), iOS 8.1.2. I used to be able to sync everything fine with Windows ITunes on my old desktop, but when I got a new desktop I can't sync (more precisely I can't "Apply" updates to apps). When I go to the device's Apps tab on the left of ITunes interface, I click the "UPDATE" button on an app (Temple Run 2), it changes to "Will Update", then I click "Apply". During the sync it says
"The iPod "name" could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are not on this iPod. To authorize this computer fro items purchased from the ITunes Store, choose Store>Authorize This Computer."
I know this question has been asked by others, and I've tried many things including deauthorizing and reauthorizing, going into hidden files and deleting the SC Data folder, signing in with another of my ITunes accounts, using the "Manage Deivces" section of My Account, etc. None of it works. (Note: In Manage Devices, I see the iPod in question, but I renamed recently and it still shows as the old name in "ITunes Manage Devices" - I am afraid to delete it and add it back under the new name because I don't know what good or bad would happen if I do)
So, is there another idea out there? I would do a hard reset on the iPod, but I am afraid I;ll lose all the data for each app, especially game progress.
Any ideas to troubleshoot this?
Thank you,
Mike

Yes, thanks, that's one of the first things I went through. Did all the Windows-related steps there and still have the same problem.

Need help syncing 2 ipods

I hope I'm not too confusing, but I have an old Ipod Nano and then went out and bought a newer version of the Ipod Nano. The 1st Nano, I put songs for my mom on there and the 2nd one I put songs for myself. Here is my problem. I can not add more songs because my library sees songs for BOTH ipods. Both Ipods are listed under 1 account.
Can I put the 1st ipod on a separate account with 1 library and have the 2nd ipod with a different library even though they are already set up in 1 account?
Also, if I were able to set up 2 different accounts, would it cause a problem between the 2 ipods? Meaning, my mom has Xmas, country and oldies songs on hers and mine has rock songs on mine.
I want to add more songs to the 2nd ipod, but ALL the songs end up on the 1st ipod and then I have to manually move them. But, the 1st ipod ends up using ALL the disk space while the 2nd ipod still has a LOT of space for songs.
I don't want to delete songs but I had to do that already in order to add songs. I just want to know if there is a way where I can add songs STRAIGHT to my 2nd ipod instead of going on the 1st ipod and using up ALL the space?
Thanks and again sorry for it sounding confusing.

Are both iPods on manual sync versus automatic sync? for me, i use the manual sync, and can just drag whichever songs i want from my library onto my nano, and none of my songs (that are not on my nano) disappear from my iTunes library. I would think you could select whichever songs you wanted to copy to nano, if it is on the manual mode versus automatic sync . . .

hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

need help disabiling an ipod tuch

To disable an iPod just enter the incorrect screen-lock passcode 10 times or sp.
If you want to recover from that
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Andrew,
The iPod and iTunes are not compatible with Windows ME and the minimum requirements are Windows 2000 with SP4 or XP with SP2 (although I use several iPods and don't have SP2).
If you can't upgrade to one of these, then you can use the iPod with ME if you are prepared to fiddle around a little. However, you won't be able to use iTunes.
See this.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME
You can use iPods purchased in the USA here in the UK. Our family uses 3 such iPods.
You can also use the iPod on any number of computers as this document explains.
Using iPod with multiple computers
Whoever gave you you all this wrong info deserves to be shot!
Just one more thing Andrew. Please start your own topic in future instead of jumping in an interrupting someone else's with an unrelated query. It's know here as "threadjacking" and is against the discussions Terms of Use.
Good luck with ME!

HT1386 I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch. I get a message that says "All existing apps and data will be replaced." Does this mean progress in the games will be lost?

I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch. I get a message telling me that all existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library. Does that mean I lose all game progress?

Yes.
What you need to do is Transfer the iTunes Library from your Old computer to your New computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).
