IPod 80 Gig won't sync in windows XP or latest version of iTunes 7.6.1.9

I have a brand new iPod 80 Gig Classic. It is windows formated. I can see it in withe my computer window. The iTunes software diagnostics sees the iPod however it will not appear in the left column.The iPod displays says connected and it will attempt to sync according to the iPod display but after about 30 sec will revert to connected screen. the iPod is connect directly to the on board USB port of the computer. I have attempted this with three different PCs. Using my Dell 8400 tower worked with my older 60 gig Video iPod with out a hitch. I have two XP based laptops and all do the same thing. I'm frustrated and about ready to return the iPod. If some one knows a fix please let me know. Apple should have a simple fix for this but it does not appear so.

Why won't my pc successfully load the latest version of iTunes?

Upgraded from iphone 4 to 4S; iTunes said that I needed to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes in order to sync 4S (version 10.5 or higher). Version available for download is 10.6.1. Downloads and gets at least 3/4 of way through the install and then I get a crazy error message with nasty codes. Tried uninstall of prior version of iTunes and clean reinstall of 10.6. Also ensured that the pc is up to date on all updates. Still no dice. Any thoughts?

2G ipod nano won't sync with windows XP

I've tried all the R's, updating USB drivers, ipod bat, every solution I've found on the pages and still won't sync to my laptop. It worked until June 13, when I charged it, and then the next time it wouldn't sync. It will restore, and I could sync it to my son's desktop computer. Every other USB device I have works. Help Please!!

Hi therowan,
Are you getting any error messages when you try syncing your iPod with your computer? If so, what does it say?
If you aren't getting any sort of error, then could you describe what exactly happens when your iPod is connected to your computer? Without info about your problem like that, I really can't help you in a specific way.
One thing that came to mind (although it might not be the issue here), is that this might be a case of drive letter confusion on your computer. Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter, following the instructions from here:

Ipod touch won't sync to Windows 8 laptop

I transferred successfully my iTunes library from my old Vista laptop to my new Windows 8 laptop. I purchased 16 songs from iTunes store. Previously, when I plugged my iPod into my old computer, it automatically started syncing. I have run the current & newest iTunes available. However, when I plug my iPod into the new computer, it does not sync and I can't find a way to manipulate it. I miss my iPod! Please help me? Thank you!

Two ways:
- Make the new computer your one syncing computer. See:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities. If all the synced media is already in the iTunes library of the new computer then just backup the iPod to the computer and rstore from that backup
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
- Use the manual method of syncing. That only works for music and videos.

6th Gen iPod Nano won't sync to Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz PowerPC iTunes 9.2

My iPod classic bit the dust so I bought a new iPod Nano 6th Gen. My Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz PowerPC can only run iTunes 9.2. From what I can tell this new iPod Nano won't work with my Powerbook, which is hard to believe since my old school iPod from the early 2000s worked great until I dropped it and it split in half.
My iPhone 3Gs syncs fine so it is incredibly annoying and disturbing that a new iPod Nano 6th gen. won't sync.
If in order to get this iPod Nano to work with my current system I'm required to upgrade my iTunes from 9.2 to 10 then I need to upgrade my OS from OS 10.4.11 to OS 10.5 which requires that I upgrade computer by purchasing an entirely new laptop then I might just have to revert to my old school Sony DiscMan.
My iPod Classic 2nd gen. worked great until it broke and my iPhone Gs syncs great, so I can't believe that this new iPod Nano 6th gen. won't work without a simple fix.
Come Apple, don't fail me now.

Your problem is completely different from the original post. The OP could not run the correct version of iTunes on their older computer. You're much more likely to get the help you need by starting your own thread with a properly descriptive subject line.
If you need instructions on how to start a new thread, see this link:

HT1386 How does the sync process work on the latest version of iTunes?

I used to be able to drag songs I wanted to sync to an iPod touch. Now I can't figure out how to do it in the latest update.

kdavis hi,
From the main iTunes window, select 'music' from the drop down menu at the top left side. Then, simply drag and drop your music files onto the window. iTunes should then bring in the tunes which will be loaded onto you iPod when you next sync (as long as you have 'Entire music library' selected in the iTunes iPod tab.

New Ipod touch won't sync with window's vista/itunes 9.2 - help!!

I charged my brand new ipod touch via my computer, have it plugged it into my computer's USB port, and Itunes acknowledges the device in the left hand menu BUT it automatically says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out". The ipod will not sync with my itunes! I tried connection/disconnecting, turning the ipod on and off, and restarting the computer. No luck. What do I need to do? Please help, I was so excited to get the new ipod and now I can't use it! I have window's vista and I don't know anything about how to check or change computer settings that might be preventing the store from opening (it used to open, but I haven't tried in a while and I just downloaded version 9.2 today).

Welcome to the discussions,
make sure your computer is authorized in the Store menu and check your security settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

Ipod nano won't sync with windows after being used with a mac

how can i sync my ipod with my new windows based laptop after using an old mac for years? it says it will erase my library if i sync.

Connecting to a new computer will always erase your device first. But you can copy your music bought in iTunes before, if you disable autosync in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, right click on your iPod in the device list and choosing "transfer purchases".
After your songs are copied, let iTunes set it up again and sync the music back again.

New Ipod touch is linked to laptop - laptop Itunes is open - Ipod has wifi - ipod says 'loading' when I go to itunes but that its it -thats all that happens - it wont connect to itunes or app store. I have windows 7 and latest version of itunes.

What I do to get this new ipod touch to open or syn with itunes and get some music in the device?

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

IPhone 4 won't download latest version of itunes or the OS or safari, and it won't let me restore without the latest version of itunes. Can you say circle??

Help!
I synced my iPhone 4, but it keeps getting the red exclamation points and an error message when I try to download the latest software. And, it won't let me restore the phone without the latest software. I'm stuck.
Then, this morning, the phone locked up completely. I got it to turn off finally, by holding down the power button and home button at the same time for more than 10 seconds. But still no luck with the software download.
It's Thanksgiving, and can't go to Apple.
My phone is my only telephone (no home phone), and I use it to keep track of two email addresses (personal and work). So I'm anxious to have it fully operational.
Suggestions? Thanks!!!

one can't update itunes or safari seperate on the iphone those 2 are a part of the ios update
you need to update your computer and then update your phone
or if you have ios5 I guess you can update from settings

Can't sync music after updating to latest version of itunes.

everything syncs but my music after upgrade. songs only show up in icloud and are not synced when i connect my ipod touch to my pc. how can i fix this?

After upgrading to 4.0b5 today, my sound is acting very strange also.
I run my audio out via the headphone jack, and now when FireFox should be playing a sound - suddenly the audio is routed through the computer speakers for a second and then it switches back to the headphones.
Everything is playing through the headphones fine, but when FireFox has audio to play - it routes it through the computer speakers instead and then toggles back over to the headphones.
Note - the FIREFOX sounds do NOT play when this happens, but any audio im playing on the computer other than with FireFox DOES play when it switches back and forth between the computer speakers and the headphone jack.
As others have mentioned I also got that error message after updating that said 'Alert' and something about a process that could not be completed, or something to that effect. I searched the message earlier and it said there was an fix in the works for it already - I hope the fix for whatever that was will fix this funky audio problem.

My iPhone won't sync with my iTunes because it says I need to download the latest version of iTunes, which I already did. I've tried to redownload multiple times but it just keeps telling me I already have it downloaded.

I keep plugging in my iPhone to my computer, but iTunes says it does not recognize my phone and won't sync because it needs the latest version of iTunes (11.1 I believe?) to work. I have already downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and I have retried multiple times just incase and it says I already have the latest version downloaded. What can I do to make iTunes recognize my phone again?

Hey there RMBrizzolara,
It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
On Windows
Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
Cheers,
Sterling

HT3798 Ipod Classic will not sync with windows 8 and newest itunes

I have ipod classic, 160gb, with new computer with Windows 8 and latest version of Itunes - came from xp and previous version of itunes - and never had a syncing problem.
All my songs are in new itunes on new computer, however ipod will not sync. Have received -50, and duplicate file name - I restored and it will go so far and then freeze. Or I get -53. Have tried lots of suggestions discovered on pages like these... but none have worked. I do see there is a problem with classic and new itunes - does anyone have any solutions??
Thanks.....

Well I finally figured out the problem, not thanks to anyone from Apple for that matter. You would asume this problem has happened before and is still happening. The problem was I couldn't copy certain songs anymore from iTunes to my iPod Classic. When trying to copy certain songs I got an error.
If you have this problem it means your song file is corrupted. You can simply check this by trying to copy it from your hard drive to an external hard drive. Here you will also get an error message.
This means you need to replace all the corrupted files by a back up on your hard drive or download it again. I did this and now everything works fine.
Hope this will solve a lot of problems.

TS1363 ipod won't sync in Windows 8

Just converted to Windows 8 and my IPOD Classic won't sync with my Itunes library - any ideas - tried uninstalling Itunes and re-installing - no joy.

When you say it "won't sync," what does that mean? The iPod does not appear in iTunes? It appears in iTunes, but does not transfer new songs? Etc...
Is this a new computer with Windows 8, or the same computer upgraded to Windows 8? Is the iTunes library the same library you used before, or the same library (either on the same computer or transfered to a new computer).

IPod 80 Gig won't sync in windows XP or latest version of iTunes 7.6.1.9
