IPod begins to sync and syncs some songs, then just stops.

I just bought this iPod last night from a friend. When I tried putting the music from my iTunes onto it, it repeatedly stops syncing the songs and the screen changes from saying Synchronizing to Connected. I've tried restarting, restoring, updating iTunes, restarting my computer, shortening playlists. But no matter what, it will begin to sync then just crash. Any suggestions on what I can do?

  • I have iTunes 11 on a Windows 8.1 PC. It is streaming to a 3rd Gen Apple TV. Movies and TV Shows seem to play fine. Music will stream for about 10 - 16 songs, then just stop. I have to reset everything, then it will repeat the cycle. Wire or wireless.

    I have iTunes 11 on a Windows 8.1 PC. It is streaming to a 3rd Gen Apple TV. Movies and TV Shows seem to play fine. Music will stream for about 10 - 16 songs, then just stop. I have to reset everything, then it will repeat the cycle. This happens regardless of wire or wireless connection. I would suspect that there is something wrong with the network, or Apple TV, except that movies and TV Shows seem to be fine. My music library is about 3700 songs, all legit, either imported from source or puchased through iTunes. This one has me stumped and frustrated!

    I thought that may have been the case too. I set the power settings to compensate but still the same. I also done things like reset the router and Apple TV to factory. Starting to think it may actually be the Apple TV, but it just doesn't make sense ?!?

    I too am facing this problem, however a little differently. I am in the process of uploading my vinyl collection to digital format in Audacity and am having this problem with multiple tracks when played in iTunes. The first few albums I ripped play just fine in iTunes, but the last few skip over about the last minute of every song and go to the next song. As you said, if you drag the time marker past the skipping point though, the rest of the song will play to the end just fine. I then synced these songs onto my iPod and they play perfectly straight through. I was leaning toward a bad mp3 encoding process that was maybe creating a glitch but I'm not sure at this point if they play correctly on my iPod. In quicktime the song will just stop playing at that specfic point, but if you hit play again, it will continue to the end. I can say though, I haven't seen this problem with any iTunes download, or ripped CD that I have ever put into iTunes (which makes my situation a tad different than yours), it's been purely the songs that I have imported via Audacity from LP's.

  • My iPod won't sync some songs from iTunes?

    It is't on manually manage music and it used to sync every song but now it won't sync any at all?

    Of course it will not sync at all.  You have it set to manually manage music.
    You can manually manage ( drag and drop) OR sync, but NOT both.

  • I use Windows 7 and for some reason iTunes just stopped opening on my computer. Please help!!

    I've exhaustively tried every method imaginable found in the Apple support forums, and nothing at all is working. I've uninstalled/re-installed iTunes and Quicktime, repaired Quicktime, opened iTunes in safe mode, tried creating a new user account on my computer, enabling hidden files to be shown, ending the iTunes process in ctrl + alt + delete, etc. Literally have tried everything, and NOTHING has worked. Sunday or Monday iTunes opened up fine, and now nothing. It's driving me nuts...can anyone maybe offer any tips that haven't been extensively covered in previous forums? As far as I know I didn't do anything differently to bring this on, so I am stumped :-(

    I have had a few improper shutdowns, but I'd have my machine on for hours and still nothing happened. It also doesn't load if I plug my iPhone into the computer, which in the past has been an automatic load/sync on my computer. All I wanted to do is import a new album on my phone and instead I've run into a maelstrom of problems :-(
    Thanks for the suggestions, b noir, and you and anyone else can feel free to keep 'em coming before they have to send someone to fit me for a straitjacket

  • ITunes radio plays several songs, then just stops.

    Why doesn't iTunes Radio play continueusly?  Is there something I must do?

    Hello there, Victor.
    The following iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant should prove helpful with troubleshooting your Music App:
    Apple - Support - iPhone - Application Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application
    You can skip the last 2 steps as the Music App cannot be uninstalled/reinstalled.
    If the issue persists, try resetting your phone as well:

  • HT1351 When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message saying some songs couldn't be found. Why is this - they are in my playlist.

    When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message advising some songs could not be found. Why is this, when the songs are in my playlist.

    By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
    The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
    I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

  • I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account.  I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

    Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

  • My iPod refuses to sync some music downloaded from iTunes because my computer is "not authorized", although I have authorized it.

    I have recently got a new computer, and decided to transfer my iTunes from my iPod (for I had to delete my music off my father's iTunes to conserve memory). I copied the files from my iPod onto my new iTunes account.When I synced my iPod with my iTunes, it refused to sync some songs which  I had downloaded off iTunes onto my new iPod, for it says my computer is not authoraiazed, even though I have alredy authorized my computer. Wht should I do?
