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]*

    160gb ipod classic won't sync since update to 11.2.2, system wants to wipeout all current info on device

    same has happened to me,  on and off,   for the last 6 months.   Its an issue with the Mavericks system and ipod classics.    works great for a while -  then one day for no reason - erases the entire iPod.   some days the copmputer will not recognize the iPod and you have to start over.  Apple will tell you that "you" may have a disc problem in the device.  that is all the help I have received.

  • IPod Classic won't sync to PC

    My iPod Classic won't sync with iTunes on  my PC. An error message is received stating that there is not enough memory available to sync, but I have 101 GB free on the iPod. I'm using iTunes Version 10.6.3.25 on a PC with the Vista operating system.The iPod operating system is 2.0.1 PC.

    It sounds like your PC may be too low on memory (RAM) or Hard Drive in for the iPod to sync properly with iTunes.  Try rebooting your PC to see if that helps.  Then run only iTunes and try to resync your iPod.

    First try to resolve #2 by:
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

  • 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.

  • Ipod classic won't sync with itunes 11 anymore

    My ipod 160gb classic died from a low battery, so i connect it to my computer, and then a strange white screen with a exclamation mark pop up saying 'do not disconnect', and then itunes suggested me to restore it, taking precaution, i went ahead and did that, but now itunes won't sync music to my ipod anymore, i think it has something to do with enable disk use being checked, but it won't let me uncheck it, i don't know what to do, someone please help!

    Unclick Manually Manage Music and Videos, which is right above Enable Disk Use.  You can then click on Enable Disk Use.  I had the same problem as you and that fixed it.

  • Ipod Classic won't sync to my Itunes on an external hard drive

    So before I could sync my Ipod classic to my Itunes just fine. Then I downloaded episodes of Avatar and suddenly my Ipod won't connect with itunes. I tried connecting it but it didn't work and now all the stuff I had on my ipod is now erased yet somehow its saying I have 2 gb left. I can open my itunes on my computer and play music and t.v shows fine but when I connect my ipod it dosen't open my itunes anymore and seems to only connect the computer like when it connects windows is just like oh hey matts ipod is connected and will open a window with my stuff etc. I have reset my ipod still nothing and I'm scared to reinstall itunes because I will lose my data. Now my external hard drive is disk E and my ipod is disk F if that helps any. Again I just want my t.v shows and music back on my ipod.

    by the way when I tried to sync my ipod for the second time it deleted all my music, movies and songs everything I had on there but it still says it has 2 gb left

  • Ipod classic won't sync with itunes 10.6.3

    My new iPod Classic 7th Gen (2.0.5 mac) is not syncing with iTunes 10.6.3. I get an error message telling me to update iTunes to a version above 10.7.
    This is not possible on a Powermac G5 (10.5.8) since it has no Intel Core.
    Is there any way to restore the the iPod Classic to an earlier firmware version (before 2.0.5), that can communicate with iTunes 10.6.3?
    Cheers, Joern.

    Then I guess this iPod is going back to the store. I have a PPC G5, and everything was working fine. But, I just lost my iPod classic from two years ago, and just bought a replacement... now I cannot use iTunes 10.6.3 to synch with it. I am *not* buying a new computer *just* to sync my iPod. I will try linux synch software and if that doesn't work then it's going back to the store.

  • Ipod classic won't sync with iTunes 10.4

    My ipod classic 160 does not want to sync with the latest iTunes update(s).  The same thing happened with the last update about a month ago.  How do I fix this?  The last time I put the ipod in disc mode and that seemed to work.  But it isn't working this time.  Any suggestions?  Anyone know why this keeps happening?
    Thanks.

    Hi Pharmer
    I had the same problem and finally found out it was the Spotlight in Lion that was causing the issue of the sync failing as its trying to do two things at once. At least thats what it has been for me.
    By going to System Prefs > Spotlight > Privacy and adding the iPod to the list I was able to stop Spotlight indexing the iPod every time I attached it to my machine and thus stopping it from being able to sync.
    You can check if its doing it by attaching your ipod then clicking on the spotlight in the top right. If its indexing it will tell you.
    Hope this helps you out
    Update: This worked to get my iPod full of stuff. Next time I tried, it won't sync, so back to square one...

  • Ipod classic won't sync with Itunes

    Help! Since the time change, neither my Iphone 3G nor Ipod classic will sync with Itunes.
    I unplugged Iphone after receiving can not sync messages. Plugged back in & Itunes did a restore. However, upon starting to sync, message re-appeared that it could not sync. I unplugged Iphone and it is still functional.
    However, when tried to sync Ipod, syncing continued overnight (about 12 hours). When I awoke this morning, PC was frozen and had to hard boot it. I then went back into Itunes and Itunes did not recognize that my Ipod was connected. I ran diagnostics and it failed at recognizing Ipod. Ipod is frozen with message "Connected, Eject before disconnecting' and is not functional. I have sent diagnostics to Apple and am waiting to here from them. However, thought I'd check here to see if anyone else had encountered this issue. I am totally lost without my Ipod and can not run or workout until repaired. That may sound silly. But it really helps me mentally through workouts.

    Update: OK! I am not sure what happened because I have tried this all morning. I held down the menu key on Ipod for about the 12th time. This time it rebooted. Ipod is functioning and appears that it did sync. However, I am not yet confident about connecting it to Itunes. I may wait until I am ready to purchase more tunes in a few weeks. LOL.

  • Brand new ipod classic won't sync to itunes 11.

    I just got a brand new 160gb ipod classic for Christmas, and when I tried to sync it with itunes it wouldn't work. I ran the diagnostics and it failed the sync tests, and apple's help/troubleshooting page does not give any solutions to this problem. I have the latest version of iTunes and my computer is a Windows XP. What do I have to do so I can sync my ipod?

    I posted as other have that there is something wrong in iTunes going on with the syncing of these classics. First my wifes stopped being recognized in the diagnostics. It says there is no phone, ipod or ipad attached, but iTunes shows its attached. then I called my daught up and had her check her iTunes version and she is also at the latest version online. I asked her how long has it been since she knows she has synced her music...she said a week or so.
    I asked her to download any podcast or free music and try to sync. Her Classic 160 did the exact same thing 200 miles apart. Both iPods previously worked with no problems for years. Now neither is detecable in the iTunes diagnostocs. I unloaded and reinstalled a clean iTunes on my wifes win 7 x64 laptop that she has used since the ipod was new (years). No good.
    I know Apple is going to find a problem either with the mobile service or something else that is going to be the cause of this syncing or not syncing issue.

  • New ipod classic won't  sync with itunes on windows 8

  • IPod Classic won't sync and crashes iTunes. Suggestions?

    Hi, hopefully someone can help me!
    I have a 80GB iPod classic for 3/4 years, never had any syncing issues until now that weren't fixable by a reset.
    However a few days ago I was at my parents' house and charged my iPod using their computer. The first time there was the standard message "This iPod is synced with another library" etc etc but subsequently it crashed iTunes. It was recognised by the computer as a portable media device, all the normal folders were there etc.
    Now that I'm with my regular laptop, I'm having the same issues but have realised that the iPod won't sync. It crashes iTunes when it's connected and when I disconnect the iPod, should iTunes works but it displays the message: "The iPod cannot be synced. The required folder could not be found"
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? I've tried updated my iTunes software and resetting the iPod (pushing menu and centre), but neither has had an effect.
    Edit: I should add that since charging the iPod on the other computer, I have also had issues with the click wheel, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    Thanks in advance!
