IPod Classic doesn't sync all music in my library

My iPod Classic doesn't sync all my music.  When I view my music files, the files that do not sync re not bold like the ones that sync correctly.  All files play on my computer.

The iPod can only Sync with one Library.
Your best option would be to add all the songs to one Library and then Sync with that.

  • HELP! My 5th Generation iPod Classic will not sync all music.

    So, I recently bought a 5th Gen 80GB iPod Classic (used) from eBay and I just got it in the mail today. However, when I try to sync it, it starts to sync normally, the progresses to slow down, and eventually stops syncing. While iTunes is syncing the iPod, the screen on the iPod says that it is "Synchronizing" and eventually goes to the "Connected" screen which is why, i think, it isn't syncing. I went to Best Buy today and bought a new 30-pin to USB cord for the iPod, but that didn't fix it. I also tried syncing the music by artist, album, and even did the same by manually dragging the music into the sidebar where my iPod shows up. Help!

    Sorry, it'a s 6th Generation, not a 5th.

  • Doesn't sync all music

    iTunes 10.5.0.142
    iPhone 4 - iOS 5.0.1 (9A405)
    After sync, the phone shows all the music I've got in iTunes, but only some of them plays!
    In iTunes I have 955 musics, in the iPhone the same 955 musics...

    Have you got any songs unchecked in your library and the "Only sync checked items" option in switched on for the iPod? That would prevent songs syncing. Do you know which ones aren't syncing? If you do what format are they and what iPod are you using? The iPod Shuffle for instance doesn't support all the file formats that the larger iPods do:
    iPod: About compatible song formats
    iPod shuffle: Compatible audio formats

  • New computer, new iPod Classic - doesn't sync my purchased tunes

    In a perfect storm of technical catastrphies, my desktop PC went belly up, followed by my iPod. When I bought a new PC, the dealer transfered all My Documents, including Music to the new PC. 2 weeks later, my old iPod likewise demised but my wife bought me a new iPod Classic for my birthday. It was easy to sync my iTunes library to the new iPod except I have notice that many tunes are not being synced to iPod. Looks like none of my purchased tunes are being transferred and I get a message informing me something to the effect that this PC wasn't liked to this iPod or somesuch.
    Any body know how to get around this?

    Hey there,
    Before you can transfer of play any songs from iTunes you have authorize your computer first. To do this just head to +Store->Authorize Computer+ and see if that does anything for you. Hope this helps.

  • Ipod classic won't sync, lost music DESEPERATE!!!

    Downloading new music that i had just bought from the Itunes store, my Ipod classic (30 gb) forze up and now it won't sync any music file. At first it stated a 48 error, then something about artwork error and now it posted that
    there's a corrup file and should run Chkdsk utility (which I have no idea what it is), and lost all the music I had in the Ipod but didn't lose any photos. This happened in both machines I work on. What can I do about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Although this document says Mac users, it has worked for windows users also. *[Error 48|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1478]*

  • My 160GB ipod classic doesn't sync properly because of silly accident - HELP pls!!

    By accident my iPod classic got disconnected in the middle of the sync process. Ever since, it can sync onlt 1GB of my 50GB music collection. Now while it syncronizes, at times it stops and reads "connected". It freezes for a while and then the -69 error pops up and also and a dialog appears that my iPod cannot be accessed. Below is what the Diagnosys mode shows. Do you think it is too screwed up??
    Thank you!!

    Yes have it replaced, You Realloc numbers are too high, it will keep increasing, as the Hardisk start and stop trying to locate some good sectors to write data.
    Most likely your iPod  battery drained out fast too.
    If it is under warranty, bring it in to APPLE store for a replacement.
    Have a nice day!

  • IPod Classic no longer syncs all video podcasts

    My iPod Classic 30 GB used to play Onion News Network and TED videos, no problem. Now I get a message when I try to sync them that says 'Cannot be played on your iPod.' These are TED videos dating back to 2009, and similarly old Onion News Network video podcasts (2010), some of which were (previously) synched and played successfully. Apple admits some video podcasts cannot be played, but in my case they were PREVIOUSLY played.
    Did they really change the firmware to make my iPod less useful?

    Hm. Well, since your iPod is already blank, try hooking it up to another computer and replace it with that library. If it works fine there, then your iPod's fine, and the problem is the iTunes and iPod software on your computer. Try uninstalling (to go control panel - add/delete programs to make sure it's gone) and then installing the newest updates. Then connect your iPod, restore, and sync. Try that first?

  • My ipod classic will not sync all of my games. Says it cant find them when they are there

    My ipod recently stopped syncing all of my games. The message says that itunes cant find them when they are where they always were. Can anyone help me with this issue? I have tried uninstalling everything and then reinstalling and nothing works. Three of my fourteen games will not sync, and they are the ones that I play the most.

    Hello bardwell,
    Try rebooting your computer to see if that makes a difference.  Otherwise, use the Get Info window for these games to determine where they should be located on your PC.  Then navigate out to that location to see if they are actually still there.

  • Syncing all music on my library to my iPad

    I am unable to sync my entire music library on iTunes to my iPad even though there is sufficient space, and the settings are set up to sync everything. Can anyone assist?

    I´ve tried every possible solution listed, those that have worked for others...nothing has worked. My library has about 2777 songs of which at first only 1370 loaded. After syncing w/o music, which deleted all music from my iPhone, I then selected Sync Music again and synced...well this time only 391 songs were added!!! It skipped the other 1400 I already had in! I´ve come to notice that these 391 songs are the ones purchased directly on the iTunes Store, but previously I had ALL my CD´s ripped and loaded to my iPhone.
    I don´t know if this has something to do with the new iTunes version, but please, please, someone give me some light! I don´t want to go and convert all 2400 songs from MP3 to AAC..!! It´s not practical!
    Thanks in advance for your comments.

  • I can't sync all music to ipod classic. shows fault -69 or sometimes -50

    I seem to have problem with my ipod classic. It started when i ejected from itunes when it was still syncing and all the files on ipod vanished. After that I couldn't sync at all & couldn't restore. I've updated the Itunes and restored the ipod so it works but it doesn't sync all the music, neither whole playlist it just picks some tracks.
    The communications shows it cannot find some files with error -69 or -50 does anyone know what this could mean??? after that it stops syncing.
    P.S. I've not moved the music anywhere and the itunes plays everything, what can i do?
    Thank you in advamce for help.
    Joanna

    Error -50 is a connection timeout, when iTunes is trying to transfer huge number of songs to your iPod, see this support link.
    It maybe cause by your Antivirus. So if you want to sync safely, disconnect your PC from the Internet, Stop your Antivirus
    I would suggest that you split your songs into several playlist of 1000 songs, and sync 1 playlist at a time.
    if that doesn't help, then check out this link.

  • My iTunes doesn't have  all the music that my iPod has. But when i sync my iPod it doesn' t put my music back onto my computer, how do i fix this?

    So, I looked at my iTunes library and realized that i had a rather small amount of music on it, while i have a rather large amount of music on my iPod. I don't know where all my music went on my computer, and I have no clue how it isn't there. When I sync my iPod it doesn't transfer my music back or even give me the, "We found some music on your iPod that is no longer in your library, would you like to transfer these songs?"
    I don't really know what to do, andy advice?

    Never mind, the problem just fixed itself when i searched for an artist that wasn't there. That was odd.

  • IPod won't sync all music to iTunes

    I recently got a new Macbook Pro and needed to transfer over all of my music on iTunes from my old laptop. My iPod Touch has enough space to hold my entire iTunes library, so I synced it with the iTunes library on my old laptop, got everything onto it, and then synced it with my new Macbook Pro.
    However, the iTunes on my Mac refuses to sync any music from my iPod that was not purchased from the iTunes store at some point. 75% of my music is from CDs and so 75% of my music will not transfer from my iPod to my iTunes.
    I can't adjust anything on the tab on iTunes for syncing all music/entire library because I get a message saying if I do this all of the content on my iPod will be erased and replaced with what is currently in iTunes, which is barely anything.
    All I've ever done is fought with iTunes every single time I try to do anything significant with it and I'm sick of it. I don't understand why iTunes won't simply take all the music from my iPod and put it into the library. That's all I want.
    Please, can anyone help me with this?

    OK after a long night I think I have answered my own question. I hope this helps others who may have experienced the same level of frustration I have.
    If your music won't download from iTunes to your iPod because it is not 'authorised' see if this helps.
    Go to the album or song that is not 'authorising'. Select it and push play. It should ask you for authorisation or a username and password. Put in your username and password, it should then go to iTunes store and it will now be authorised.
    Be careful not to make the same mistake that I made and have multiple iTunes Store accounts. Mainly because I think it creates these problems on transfer of your library and secondly because you may not remember the password. If you forget the password, then simply get iTunes store to resend it. The only problem may be if your email account no longer exists. Mine does, so not sure what happens if it doesn't.
    This in itself may not fix the problem either. I noticed on the left hand side of the music library, met to the song names etc, the '!" symbol in the column. This will also prevent it copying to your iPod. I am not technical, but it seems it lost the file path in transfer. Just double click the song and it will ask you if you want to find the path. Click yes and then search through iTunes library until you find the song. Double click the song and bingo you should now be able to transfer the music.
    It took less time for me to finish by Business Degree, but its the only way I found to get around all the authorisation problems
    Hope this helps

  • I had ITunes on a Dell laptop.  I copied it all to a Compaq laptop via external hard drive.  The Dell is deauthorized. The Compaq is authorized.  My IPod Classic will not Sync on the Compaq.  I have transferred purchases, but "Sync" is greyed out.

    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. 
    The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there.  To the right, its Summary screen is shown.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs ot the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This is the switch to enable automatic syncing.  If your iTunes music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then select what you want on the iPod from the lists below. 
    Click Apply to intiate automatic syncing between that iTunes library and your iPod (based on how the iPod's Music screen is set up in iTunes).

    Thanks for the reply. The Itunes trouble shooting in Itunes help. I don't get an error message, it just states can't see ipod like if it wasn't plugged in. I do get an error message on a few of the songs when sync that say error 50, and state that they can't be loaded to ipod. The weird thing is that I can load all of my libary except the latest 3 albums. They are in my libary but they won't load. I'm not sure but it seems like it started when the cloud came about from amazon which is where I buy most of my music.
