Installed ITunes 11. Recognizes & syncs iPod, but can change music or podcasts

I just installed iTunes11. It recognizes by iPod nano (2nd gen), but the iPod up on the upper left of the screen disappears as soon as it syncs. How do I change the settings so I get different music or podcasts? I have a feeling there is flaw in the software. the iPod itself is working fine. Or maybe I am missing something here? Is there a way to go back to the version of iTunes?

I have a very sililar problem.  My iPad 1 will sync, but as soon as I go to the library, I can't get the iPad view back.  As you said the button in the upper right and upper left disappear.  In other versions of iTunes I could switch back and forth between library view and iPad view.

    I bought an iPod nano and Itunes does recognize the iPod but when I try to sync it will not let me. What now?

    How do you know it will not let you?  Are you getting an error message?  What is the error message?

    1.  on the pad, settings, general / restrictions.  make sure that is not on.
    2. if you have multiple devices syncing from the same computer, make sure you have the correct on indicated in the leftside navigation pane of I tunes.

  • ITunes recognizes iPod but can't sync - driver missing?

    Here's the rundown. Several months ago, the complete content of the old XP machine where this iPod's library resided was migrated to a Windows 7 Home Premium system using LapLink PC Mover.  iTunes had never previously been installed on the Windows 7 unit.  iTunes appeared to be functional afterwards, but on the first and all subsequent instances of attempting to sync the iPod, clicking on the Sync button did and still does nothing.  I have tried connecting the iPod to multiple different motherboard-based and pcie-based USB ports, and to a USB2.0 external hub. (Sometimes the screen briefly flashes as though it was switching to the sync process monitor, but usually it's just no change.)  I've tried uninstalling all of the Apple software from the machine, rebooting, and reinstalling.  (When I say "all", that includes iTunes itself, Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update, in that order.  Trying any other order produced complaints.  Quicktime is not installed on this machine; iTunes and the iPod are not used for video.)  In looking at the postings of others who have had similar issues, I found a recommendation to reinstall another driver that I have verified is not loading and is not running with the iPod hooked up:  Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.  I have tried to reinstall this driver, but it hasn't worked.  What I have come to suspect is that something in the Windows registry got borked during the transfer, and is causing the load process for the *needed* driver to fail, possibly by trying to load the old XP version.  But my registry-fu is not strong in this, so I'm looking to see if anyone else has run across this issue previously and found a solution.
    Points to note:
    Windows 7, installation was a port from XP via LapLink PCMover
    5th gen classic iPod 80Gb with 34Gb free
    iTunes version 11.4.0.18 is installed  (This was the current version when I started trying to find the problem.)
    Apple Mobile Device Support software is loaded.
    Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is NOT loading, either before or while the iPod is connected.
    In Device Manager, the iPod appears as a Disk Drive and as a Portable Device when connected, but does not appear in the Universal Serial Bus Controllers list.
    iTunes recognizes the iPod and can access it sufficiently to verify that it does not need to be updated.
    iTunes can eject the iPod.
    iTunes cannot sync the iPod.

    I can now expand the information somewhat.  On my second, very similar setup (5th gen Classic connected to Win 7/32 with iTunes 11.4.0.18) I was able to successfully do the initial sync of the iPod several weeks ago, but this afternoon, when I tried to sync it to include the music I had added recently, it failed in the same manner as the other system.  I really, really, really DO NOT want to downgrade to iTunes 12 with it's horrible antinavigation interface and lack of the very useful and needed Sidebar, but it is beginning to look like 11.4.0.18 is problematic, and I don't have an installer for anything else at present.

  • I installed iTunes 8.2.1 successfully but my ipod touch can't connect

    I installed iTunes 8.2.1 successfully but my ipodtouch can't connect to my itunes, saying that "Please connect this iPod to a computer running Windows Vista or a 32-bit version of windows xp(Service Pack2) please help me? I want to put some musics on my ipod touch
    BTW I used Windows XP 64-bit Service pack 2
    please I'm begging you help me I can't use my ipod touch Q_Q

    64-bit XP is the clue, Katrina. A bunch of the 64-bit XP Orca-based workarounds out on the web don't work for 9.0.x, because of the way the iPod Service and AMDS have gone 64-bit in the 9.0.x versions. So those folks will often try installing an 8.x instead.
    (It's been weeks since I last checked ... so I'm not sure if there are any newer versions of the workarounds available.)

  • Why can I sync some iTunes playlists to the iPod but some other ones don't?

    Why can I sync some iTunes playlists to the iPod but some other ones don't? This is unusual - I wonder if the iPod is working correctly but some setting is wrong. Thanks

    Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list click on it to show the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and check that your settings are "Sync Music - All songs and playlists" and not "Sync Music - Selected playlists"

  • My iTunes recognizes my iPod but will not sync

    I just had my hard drive replaced and all my music was salvaged (thankfully). All of it loaded right back into iTunes. However, when I plug in my iPod, it will charge, but will not sync. I have Windows 7 on my computer and it was working fine before.
    At this point I'm frustrated and have considered using the "Sync with this iTunes Library" feature, which warns that it will erase what's on my iPod, but will presumably upload the library that exists on my computer now, right? If I do that, I shouldn't lose anything because both are the same, but maybe it will now recognize my iPod? Any suggestions?

    Hi Amy2250,
    Have you tried to sync music to the iPod via the iPod subdirectory of iTunes? To do this, plug your iPod into your computer, go into iTunes, click on the iPod tab, click on 'Music' in the iPod subdirectory and select whether you want to sync your whole iTunes library or just selected songs and press sync.
    Alternatively, have you tried manually transferring music onto the iPod using the 'drag and drop' method? To do that, go into iTunes with your iPod connected, click on the iPod tab, in the iTunes iPod Classic subdirectory click on the 'Summary' tab, then tick the box saying 'Manually manage music' and click save. Then, in the same subdirectory click on the 'On this iPod' tab and click on Music. Then, select the songs you want to transfer either in Finder or Windows Explorer, select the songs you want to copy to the iPod and drag them to the blank list in the 'On this iPod' area of iTunes you just opened.
    Good luck,
    stefanrandomly

    Hi
    So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
    When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
    Thanks.

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by

    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Hello! i tried to install OS5 in my 1st gen IPAD (16gb) and it froze in the process. My IPad still runs normally (on OS 4) EXCEPT itunes cannot recognize, sync or even charge my IPad!

    hello! i tried to install OS5 in my 1st gen IPAD (16gb) and it froze in the process. My IPad still runs normally (on OS 4) EXCEPT itunes cannot recognize, sync or even charge my IPad!

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • My iPhone cannot make or receive calls.  I tried installing iTunes order to sync everything and restore, but I am getting 0x ... 084 errors, and it won't work.  I do not want to delete all of my contacts.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    Oh, and I can't hook up my iPhone to iTunes because it's locked with a passcode.  I can't begin to type the passcode because of this stupid "Restore Needed - can't send or receive calls" thing.  This is beyond silly.

  • Itunes doesn't sync Anything but it recognizes my iphone 4

    itunes doesn't sync anything. but it recognizes my iphone!
    And also uninstalled and installed itunes. still the same. itunes finds the devices, starts with the backup and stops always at step 5 (out of 7). It doesn't sync anything, no music, no apps..
    it always stops after:"..to determine apps for synchronisation"

    There is no option like "sync all photos"
    There is option for "All folders".
    Am i correct?
