Ipod does not Sync anymore

Hi, y ipod touch has stopped Syncing to my G5 tower. Further after I updgraded the iOS on the ipod, NOW it will not Sync on the G5 cuz it's i'm using 10.5.8 and itunes 10.5.2.  Since my last attempt to Sync to the G5, the iPod has erased al the apps, and widgets that "apparently was not authorized"... cuz it was not able to Sync.
My question: is there a way to "copy" my recent ipod backup that is sitting into the G5 powerPC, and copy that to the iTunes of my MAcBook-intel using also  OSX10.5.8, and itunes 10.6. The ipod, has not been backed up with the MAcbook before. Update. after connecting the ipod tothe Macbook, it says it requires itunes 10.6.3.
My most recent backup of the ipod to the G5, was 9/25/12.  I have been trying to find an alternative since then. Short of having to buy a newer G5 (that could handle OSX 10.6 and higher) I now want to use the MAc book to Sync the ipod, and hopefully I can regain all my purchased app that have been deleted (as I was told by a Genius at Apple store)
Any suggestion on how to transfer the ipod Backup file from the itunes in G% to the Mack book itunes??  Where is the file located that contains the back up??  Do I have to copy my entire itunes library??  or can I simply "point" to my G5 itunes library via a fire wire cable that is onto an extra HD into the G5?? (obviously using the G5 as a target mode)
any help will be welcomed!
Michel

llaass,
thanks for your reply.   I checked the ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/, folder, but all files are impossible to decipher which one belongs to what.
I was able to upgrade itunes10.6.3 on the G5 PPC. Another problem I encounter, is that when I attmpt.
The error I get is when I am suddenly being prompted to put my username and password..... but it says it is invalid. It goes to step 4, and says "this computer is no longer authorized for apps....would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased  from the itunes store.... if you do not authorize.. 22 apps will be deleted"
I click authorize, and then my user name is already in there, but my password has to be inputed.  (never had to do this before)  After putting my password i Get:  "there was an error storing your authorization info on this computer...the required directory was not found or has a persmissions error. Correct the permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permission cannot be chnaged".
No I don't know if this problem comes from the fatc that "mobile me" is not more . Like when I go to sys pref, Mobile me (10.5.8 does not have iCloud) and attempt to sign in, it won't work. (BTW my usernam and password is automatically in the respective fields- no need to manually input them.)
Could this problem be due to itunes not being able to log into my "icloud" account vs "mobile me" account?  it is interesting that it stopped working early October, when mobile me went out of biz at end of June!!

  • Ipod does not sync correctly with ITunes

    Hello, and thanks in adavce for responding.
    A couple days ago I connected my Ipod to a different PC with an older version of Itunes. I did not asociate the library nor synchronized the Ipod with it. When I connected my Ipod in my main PC where I keep my library, it seems as if it does not sync all my files correctly. For example, I have some TV shows in my library but they don't seem to transfer into my Ipod, when they used to before. I have the same problem with the photos. I have re-set my Ipod to factory settings a copule of times with different results. The first time, the photo's would not appear, and the second time, the TV shows did not. Furthermore, my ITunes library does not show photos anymore, but they do appear in the Ipod. It seems as if the Ipod is confused with ITunes, but I honestly don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

  • My iPod does not sync with my iTunes.

    All of a sudden when I try to sync my iPod classic with my MacBook Air the iPod doesn't sync. I get the do not disconnect message, but the iPod doesn't mount as a device in iTunes. The iPod icon does show up on the desktop. I have tried all the suggested solutions on the Apple support page (reset, reload iTunes, etc.). Didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have an even older iPod that started doing the same thing occasionally. It may be that you have some bad sectors on your iPod hard drive. If you can get the iPod to mount in iTunes, you should do a complete restore. If it will not mount in iTunes you should try this:
    Unmount the iPod from desktop.
    Close iTunes.
    Reconnect iPod. If iTunes does not open, great, go to next step. If iTunes opens, but iPod does not mount in      iTunes, close iTunes.
    Open disk utility. Click on iPod volume, then choose erase tab.
    Choose Mac Os extended.
    Ignore the warning that iPod won't work. You are basically reinitializing and reformating the hard drive.
    After drive is erased/reformated, unmount the iPod.
    Open iTunes
    Reconnect the iPod. It should now ask you if you want to install iTunes, etc, etc. and you should be able to      restore all your tunes.

  • ILife 06 update now iPod does not sync

    Folks,
    agter upgrading to iLife 06 the update of my iPod does not work. I get the message that iTunes cannot write or read to this disk.
    I had iTunes 6.02 before the update and everything worked fine.
    IPod is an 60GB photo with newesr firmware.
    Thanks
    Oliver

    You may have an Ownership & Permissions problem on your iPod.
    Select your iPod on the desktop and Get Info (command-I).
    Set the permissions to 'You can Read & Write'. Expand 'Details:' and click 'Apply to enclosed items...'.
    Tick the checkbox 'Ignore ownership on this volume'.
    If your iPod does not show up on the desktop, you have to 'Enable disk use' in Prefernces>iPod (iTunes preferences)
    Hope this helps.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • IPod Does Not Sync Fully

    I have my iPod set to automatically sync every time I plug it in, but for some reason this time in my iTunes I have 18711 items, while on my iPod there is one less, 18710. iTunes never prompted me to say that a particular item couldn't be synced, as it usually does when this happens, so I have no idea what didn't get synced. I tried redoing it with the same results. Does anyone know anyway I can find out what failed to sync?

    Hello AlexP8739
    Do you also have the "sync all checked songs and videos" option checked from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes as well? If so, make sure there is a tick mark next to each song in your iTunes library.
    Also, have you checked to make sure there are no duplicate songs in your iTunes library? If so, these will not sync over to your iPod. To check, click the File drop down menu and choose "Show Duplicates".
    Another option, although extremely tedious, would be to use a third party utility such as [YamiPod|http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home> to export a list of songs from your iPod to compare to your iTunes library.

  • Outlook does not sync anymore with W995

    Hi all
    Up till last week, my outlook calendar was synchronized well with the calendar of my W995.
    Last week, I started missing appointments, and a quick investigation showed that my calendar was not updated anymore for 5 days.
    When I start the synchronization manually (using SE PC companion 2.0 on Windows, 7, connected via bluetooth) it connects, starts reading my calendar items from outlook and then quits. It does not even stop or saying it's finished, SEPC just disappears (or maybe even crashes, but no message is given). It does also not reside in the taskbar.
    Other parts of SEPC work fine, like filetransfer, managing contacts etcetera, so the connection between SEPC and my phone looks okay.
    Both SEPC as well as the software of my W995 are up to date
    Anyone has a suggestion how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    An easy way of finding out if there's a particular PIM category causing this is to sync each one separately.
    Like, begin by syncing only contacts to see if it fails in the same way. If not move over to next category.
    I suspect that maybe there's a problem with calendar sync specifically. If so you could create a new calendar folder in MS Outlook and try to sync with that one instead to check if the same error appears.

  • My daughter logged me out of Itunes and now my Ipod is not synced anymore. How do I re-sync it to my Itunes account?

    My daughter logged me out of my Itunes account and maybe did some other things!! My Ipod is now not synced to the account and now no device appears in Itunes for me. How can I re-sync it again. I am not computer savvy so the simpler the answer the better. Thanks.

  • Ipod does not sync back to itunes

    Hi there,
    just got the new 80GB iPod and have a problem when I sync my iPod back with iTunes. iTunes seems to load new media on it (pictures, music etc.) but sometimes 'drops' everything I did on my iPod since the last sync. I was very disappointed as I just rated about 60 songs and when I plugged it back in, iTunes told me I had not played any songs in the past two days and none of the ratings were transfered to iTunes on my Mac. The iPod did NOT run our of battery and I did NOT change the ID3-Tags in iTunes of all the songs before syncing again.
    On my past iPods I noticed that songs that have been changed in iTunes will not get the ratings of the iPod but I never experienced the complete "ignorance" of me listening to any music on my iPod.
    Also, probably not related to this issue: Has anyone ever had the new iPod not skipping songs when you pressed the next or previous track buttons? I sometimes cannot skip but still navigate or scroll through the menus etc.
    Thanks for any help - I never had those problems with my first and fourth generation iPod.

  • SkyDrive (not SkyDrive Pro) does not sync anymore

    Hello guys,
    Recently I noticed that the built-in SkyDrive in my Windows 8.1 stopped working. If I see my SkyDrive folder on File Explorer, it always shows the blue sync arrow icon regardless of many hours I waited for it to complete.
    Sometimes I open Task Manager then I noticed that SkyDrive.exe is not running. I started it manually and tried to give SkyDrive.exe a high priority for both upload and download bandwidth in NetBalancer. Still it does not finish syncing.
    It consumes network traffic only ~20 KB per second.
    Out of curiousity, I attach a debugger (Microsoft Visual Studio 2012) on SkyDrive.exe and see the numerous repetitions of the same error message:
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? And how to resolve this issue? How to reset the built-in SkyDrive on Windows 8.1 possibly?

    *i've reset the pod a bunch of times*
    Have you tried "restoring" your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to sync using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
