IPoc Classic 160GB will no longer sync

Hi Guys,
Another one to add to the list of bugs, or a faulty iPod?
Got my iPod on Weds and synced over 120GB of music and videos, all fine. Synced it a couple of times since then and new content made it onto the iPod.
Yesterday, went to sync it and although it updated my play counts, it won't add any new content onto the iPod. Tried again several times and still no joy.
Nothing seems to make it onto the iPod - cover art, music, podcasts - I'm not even convinced the software update has actually installed.
iTunes says it's syncing but the screen of the iPod goes from syncing > connected and iTunes gets stuck on 'Syncing iPod - do not disconnect'. Even trying to eject the iPod does nothing and I have to manually unplug it. The iTunes hangs and I have to CTRL/ALT/DELETE to shut it down.
I've tried resetting the iPod, restarting my iTunes and my PC - I guess the last step is to try and restore the iPod, if that works...
GRRR!!!

Nope, even restoring it doesn't work, it claims to be restoring but nothing actually happens even once it says it's restored - the contents of the iPod are still identical...
oh to have bought this from a shop where I could just take it back and swap it!

  • 80GB Classic will no longer sync with Outlook

    I have a 80GB Classic that will no longer sync my Outlook contacts or calender. It will sync everything else, music, movies, games, but than it just hangs. It will say that it is syncing and not to disconnect, but it will stay that way for hours and not do anything. I also have a 64GB touch that sync with the same library and the touch sync just fine. Does anybody have any ideals or suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Found out that my iPod was hanging on the photos not Outlook. Deleted the iPod Cashe and problem is sloved.

  • My podcasts will no longer sync with my ipod classic. Also when I tried to sync in itunes, the category "podcast" disappeared under my ipod listed in itunes.

    Are you sure your iPod Classic is configured to sync podcasts to your device?  You'll want to double check by taking a quick look at your iPod's Podcast configuration tab in iTunes.
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes when it appears to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Podcasts tab and select it.  Under this tab you can configure how and what podcasts are synced to your device. If you make any changes, be sure to click theApply button in the lower right hand corner.

  • HT1351 my ipod classic will no longer sync any movies on latest version of itunes --- why?

    Both of my iPods will no longer sync any movies.  They always did before without any problem.  I am using latest version of itunes.  Any suggestions?

    If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
    But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
    upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
    Since there were about nine different build models
    of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
    one you have would be the first step to knowing
    what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
    If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
    it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
    when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
    detailed information is available.
    When you find the serial number, there is a web
    page that can be used to identify by serial no.
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
    which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

    My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.  it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted.  Any suggestions?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Then try restoring again.

  • TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

    When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
    Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
    Any ideas?
    Peter

    The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
    Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

  • Ipod will no longer sync to Itunes ??

    My Ipod which Ive had for about 6 months has recently decided it will no longer sync to my Itunes so I cannot update the music. It recognises it is there and says it is syncing then comes up with the message 'The Ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)'
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as Im going travelling next week and am fed up of listening to the same music!

    Hello Amoebi,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you sync any other iPods with your iTunes library? I ask, because usually this error is only seen on iPod Touches and iPhones. Here is the Apple support document related to it.

  • IPod will no longer sync podcasts from iTunes store

    Both our iPod and iPod Nano will no longer sync podcasts. We have downloaded new music, which will sync, but not the new podcasts from the iTunes store. iTunes indicates that it is syncing (which takes about 1 second) but the podcasts are not synced.
    We have deleted all the existing podcasts and downloaded a single new one, with no change in the problem. We have tried both iPods and the result is the same.
    We are running ESET NOD32 version 3.0 for Anti-Virus. We have checked with ESET and performed the exceptions that are known to cause problems with iTunes, and there has been no change, except that iTunes no longer freezes, which it previously did.
    Hopefully someone out there can help us.

    easiest way i have found to resolve the issue is go into itunes while phone is plugged in. you will have a list of tabs across, summery, info, ringtones, music. select music and where it displays sync music unselect that and hit apply in the bottom right (dont worry your music should be saved on the computer) once the sync is complete re check the music sync option. ive noticed this to work 95% of the time......hope this helps
    I Hope I Was Able To Help You Or Solve Your Question.

  • My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i have purchased an iphone 4s and synced it with itunes.

    My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes.  When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod.  What do i do?

    Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable?  Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

  • Itunes will no longer sync my music to my brand new iPad.

    Itunes will no longer sync to my brand new iPad.  Synched with old one just fine.  Goes through process and finishes but still no music and no error.  Tried selecting specific artists or songs and same. Have lastest software on both. Running Windows 7 Ultimate.  Tried reinstalling iTunes, nothing is working.  I had previously used iTunes Match but that was locking up my computer so I've since turned it off on the iPad so that I could have all of my music, not just the 300 or so that Match decided to add.  I'm really frustrated with these latest software updates, what the heck is going on over there?

    when you open the sync option go to pictures and make sure all of them are checked
