IPod Classic 120 G not syncing properly

To start off my ipod was working fine i had music video everything. I pluged it in one night to update some podcasts and it erased everything off my ipod and now won't let me sync anything on to it because my computer is telling my wrong volume in drive f (i think) So then i try to restore my ipod and an error pops up telling me unable to restore. I just got this ipod a week ago and its giving me more problems than my previous mp3s. Another error it tells me is that it is unable to read and copy to ipod. It starts syncing fine at first then the ipod stops syncing and the computer is still attempting to sync with the ipod. I ran through the WHOLE thing on troubleshooting about the usb drivers. Any help would be much appreciated.

When you ipod is connected, click on it in itunes and check each of the categories for it. It's possible it may be set up to only sync certain songs or playlists.

  • My IPOD classic headport is not working properly.  The sound is going in and out?

    My ipod classic headport is not working properly.  The sound keeps going in and out.  I have tried changing headphones and checking the settings.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Do a Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    If the sound is still the same, but ok, coming from the bottom Dock connector, then try cleaning the headport, using a jet of air or some electronic cleaner.

  • Ipod Classic 160 GB not syncing my music

    I bought a 160 GB Ipod Classic about 6 months ago. About 2 weeks ago I plugged in my Ipod and it erased everything and when I try to sync music it syncs about 150 songs (I have about 4,000) and then stays syncing that one song for about 2 hours. Then it gives me an error message like (-50) or (-120) or says the required folder could not be found. I have tried everything like updating iTunes and re-formatting it and restoring it but every time it gives me the same thing. I was wondering if the hardrive is failing or if theres something wrong with the computer?

    Problem fixed itself.  Unknown resolution.

  • Ipod classic Model M9282LL not syncing with itunes 10.6.3

    My older ipod classic ver 3.1.1 purchased after 2005 will no longer sync with itunes. When I use to log it in itunes would auto open up and begin syncing. Have not done it in a while. Using an older mac ver 10.5.8.. Have i tunes 10.6.3.  Cannot afford a new computer with newer updates and if that is the case I feel its wrong...

    I fixed it. I changed ports on back of computer. There is a sync symbol on back of the older mac so I thought that was the only one to use, so tried another. my motto: Just keep at it and you can figure it out. Also with all the info via the internet its like a do it yourself library out there and the helpful ideas is fantastic.

  • Ipod Classic wheel will not sync with ITunes 11.0.4.4

    My IPod classic wheel will no longer sync with the ITunes program on my Windows XP system. When plugged in with cord, the IPod acts as if it is syncing. ITunes shows the eject button for the IPod, but it isn't recognized as a device by ITunes. Our IPad and IPhones will sync.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Would appreciate any help you have. I had just reloaed my entire ITunes library after losing everything except what was purchased but didn't think that should be a reason for the IPod to quit syncing. HELP!

  • IPod Classic 160 gb not syncing playlists

    Hello and thanks for reading this.  I have a 4 year old 160 gb iPod classic that has always run like a champ, and lately I've had a problem getting it to sync.  I'm using a Powerbook G4 running Tiger (10.4.11) and the latest iPod software that is compatible.  The iPod has never had any problem with this platform previously.  It still imports all of the songs (2,716) o.k., but I can't find a way to get it to sync the playlists.  I'm wondering if I have inadvertently hit a button or switch that shuts off playlist sync (or import), but I've searched through all of the pull downs and preferences and can't find a problem.  I went through all of the troubleshooting steps, and finally completely restored the iPod, but no luck yet.  All the songs show up, but no playlists.  I use this on a system that I installed in our barn, and it really rocks for birthday parties and family reunions, but you have to be able to select playlists.  Thanks again for your help.  Tom

  • Ipod Classic (80g) Videos not synching properly!

    Ok so my ipod works great except when you try and have videos on it. I have all the converters and stuff and sometimes it works fine and they go on and are all there. However... Sometimes the videos cut off after a minute or so when i play them on my ipod. I thought it might be a converter issue but they play all way trough in itunes, so it's something to do wiht the synch process I'm guessing.
    any ideas?

    This is how to sync videos
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304680
    This is to make sure all of the video types are working on your ipod.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75424
    Download each one of those videos and try to use the top article to sync them to your ipod.
    If all of the videos work... its probably a problem with your converter.
    make sure you are updating your ipod. Apple just released a new software version for classics when itunes 7.6 came out.
    Also, restoring your ipod to factory settings by hitting that restore button in your summary screen may help wash out any glitches your ipod may have on it if the above info doesnt help you.

  • IPod touch (5th generation) not syncing properly?

    hi, when i sync my ipod touch (5th generation) it comes up with a notice box just before the sync finishes saying:
    "the ipod cannot be synced. the required file cannot be found." also when i go on to my ipod i noticed that it did partially sync becuse some new songs went on it but things like photographs didnt? any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Try dleting the iPod Photo Cache folder.  See the following for its location.

    BTW, there is no 5G iPod Touch yet.  The latest is the 4G introduced in Auf 2010

  • Ipod Classic 120GB won't sync properly

    My ipod was working perfectly normally. I connect the ipod to my computer normally, itunes recognises I have an ipod connected but a window appears saying "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes". I select the option to restore my ipod and it does so. I receive the message stating that this was successful and I need to wait for my ipod to restart and it'll attempt syncing again. As soon as it is restarted and apparently connected the message saying I need to restore my ipod appears again. This continues no matter how many times I repeat this process. I have 697 songs and 80 music videos so I easily have enough space, could it be a problem with my itunes?

    Hello Alpha3TW,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like your iPod may be getting confused with a network drive or another attached drive that has or was assigned the same drive letter as your iPod. I would try changing the iPod's drive letter to see if that does any good. For instructions on how to do this, see this Apple support document.

  • IPod Classic 120 will not shuffle songs

    I  have a classic that has decided it will not shuffle through a play lis automatically and manually?
    Any thoughts are welcome
    alan

    What happens when you try? If you start a song playing, what happens when the first one ends?
    How did you turn on the shuffle feature?
    Did you set it to shuffle songs or albums?
    Are the songs in the Playlist set to Skip when shuffling?
    What do you mean it will not shuffle through a play lis automatically and manually ? What is automatic shuffle; what is manual shuffle?
