Ipod ejects while syncing with ITunes

Every time I plug in my IPod to my computer it says it's syncing and I can see it coping files over but after a while my open screen changes from "Do Not Disconnect" to the Regular IPod Main Menu screen and then eventually it goes into sleep mode and continues to charge or just let me know it's charged.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I Think I found the fix. I had to set my IPod to Disk Mode and reboot my PC. It actually syncs now, but I am still having some issues with some songs flagged when the sync process is complete. They appear on the playlist but do not play. I searched for the songs thru windows explore and the files are not there. My guess is that ITunes just does not copy them for what ever reason and moves on to the next song in the list. The temporary fix I am using is that I tell it to only sync those songs that are checked. If a song is flagged I uncheck it from the list, sync the ipod and then re-check it and sync again. Though it is tedious I have made it copy the songs it did not copy over in the first try.

3rd Gen Ipod won't sync with Itunes since upgrade to Snow Leopard

Hi,
I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and since then my trusty 3rd Gen Ipod will not sync with iTunes (9.0.3). It mounts in Finder, but does not appear in iTunes. The iPod will still charge, but it constantly displays the "Do Not Disconnect" message until manually ejected.
Any help gratefully received.

Thank you kindly

IPod won't sync with iTunes on Windows 7/64 bit PC

I just updated my PC to Windows 7/64 bit. iPod will not sync with iTunes. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, and tried all the suggestions on the Internet (except restoring the iPod, too scary; and modifying registry on the PC, too too scary). The device thinks it has the most current software. The iPod tries to connect and appears briefly but then disconnects. A Windows message appears asking the following: "Do you want to scan and fix My iPod? There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it." If I tell it yes to scan it gives another error message that is it not recognized. If I tell it to skip the scan, the device disconnects and nothing happens. No syncing. I am at a loss as to how to fix this. Has anyone encountered this type of issue and if so - how did you resolve it. I don't want to restore the iPod as I do not know if it will ever connect and sync again and all the music on it now would be lost and the device would be useless. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Tikimom

IPod doesn't sync with iTunes anymore!! HELP!!

I am in complete despair - my iPod doesn't sync with iTunes anymore. It all started a couple of days ago, after installing the latest updates of both, iTunes and iPod. After that, I noticed that the iPod wasn't synching the changes and new additions I had made in iTunes.
I tried everything so far with no success. I did reset the iPOd, reinstalled the iPod updater, than did a RESTORE and now my iPod is completely empty, but refuses to download my music from iTunes.
When connected, it shows up, start "updating iPod" and several seconds later shows "update complete". In the iPod window I can all the songs (in grey) from my library, but they are not being transferred to my iPod!!!
Please, help!!

I think I know the problem and it's solution. The iPod "thinks" it's linked to a different library and therefore does not synchronize. No idea what happens in the background there, but here is what I did:
First, I went back to the previous update on the iPod (not sure if that's necessary at all, but I just wanted to go to where I started from.
The UNinstalled iTunes (to be safe I backed up my tunes) and reinstalled it. Then pasted backed up tunes into new iTunes music folder and overwrote newly created iTunes library files.
Then I connected the iPod, which now told me that I had an old version and needed to update, which I did.
Then a window popped up and told me that my iPod was connected to a different library and if I want to connect to this one, overwriting everything on the iPod, which I said yes to (it didn't matter anyway, since it was now empty after the RESTORE I had done).
iPod then downloaded all the songs from my library again and we are as happy together as we've been before
I think what happened was that after installing the latest update, that window with the "different library connection" had popped up as well and I must have clicked NO because of the "overwrite" comment which scared me. Unfortunately, even with "reset warnings" it then never popped up again and until I reinstalled iTunes.
Hope this helps!

I am syncing my iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4.3.3 with my computer.
What is causing this?
Thank you.

I ended up setting the iPhone back to factory settings and then setting it up as a new iPhone rather than trying to use things from my first generation iPhone in iTunes to set up the iPhone 4s. That worked, but the language was Finnish (I think) and it took a while to find the settings by "guessing" what the menu buttons read.

IPod Classic not Syncing with iTunes on Windows 8

Hi,
I have reccently bought a new laptop which has Windows 8 64Bit pre-installed. I had my music library backed up (consisting of ripped CDs etc and nothing purchased from iTunes) and thought it would be a straight forward process of syncing this to my iPod. I am aware that this process would wipe the music off the iPod and replace it with the music on the laptop which I had no issues with.
Despite my best efforts I have not been able to get my iPod Classic 160Gb to sync with iTunes. When I plug the iPod in, it is recognised in iTunes and th iPod briefly displays a messge saying it is syncing. After about 10 seconds this message disappears.
iTunes (version 11.0.1.12) gives me the option to restore the iPod which I have done. It goes through what seems to be a very short restore session where I am not given the option to name the iPod etc before the iPod giving the brief "synching" message and then telling me that I need to eject the iPod before disconnecting.
The only way I have managed to get some music onto the iPod is by clickong on "Music" (under the iPod button) and then selecting "Autofill". Whilst this works in putting all of my music onto the iPod, if I delete a song from my library this change is not mirrored on the iPod. I also now have no option to sync my pictures with the iPod.
I have tried using compatability mode to start iTunes in Windows 7 mode but I still have the same problems.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Many thanks

how did you fix it?

Playlists disappeared, and now ipods will not sync with itunes

One day while my itunes was playing music, it all of a sudden froze, so I eventually had to restart my computer (macbook pro). When I relaunched itunes, all my music was gone. It started adding back all my files (including songs I had deleted a while back), but all my playlists are gone. Today I plugged in my ipod to sync music, hoping that I could also somehow bring the playlists on my ipod back to itunes, but a window popped up and said that the ipod was synced with a different itunes and I either have to erase all ipod contents and sync with new itunes, or cancel.
Has anyone had this problem? Any advice on how to get playlists back or do I just need to now erase all contents on my ipods/ iphone and sync with this new itunes?

My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP

I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
Here's some other option for Windows users.
First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
