    What seems to be the problem?  Songs are not syncing from your iTunes library on your PC to your Nano?  Is this the same computer you have always synced the Nano with or is this a different/new iTunes library?

  • TS3694 I have over 700 songs in my I tunes library - but when i go to sync the songs to my I pod, it only syncs 60 of these songs. how can I get my entire library to sync to my ipod. now some of these songs were built in my library under a different email

    i have over 700 songs in my i tunes which are from 2 different emails --- when i go to sync my music it will only sync 60 songs. how can I get it to sync all my songs. I now have a different email that my ipod is under. does that make difference? I dont remember what my password was from my old i tunes email 3 years ago.???? i called apple and was on the phone with them for over 2 hours - no joke and they could not figure it out.
    please, help! i want my songs on my ipod??

    I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
    Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?

  • Recently got a new iPod 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod - any suggestions?

    Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac.  I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
    I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network.  While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs. 
    There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
    The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
    Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline?  Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • The computer that I original used with my ipod touch is dead, so I am now synching and backing up to a new computer.  I had to restore the software to this ipod.  I can drop and drag my tunes back into the ipod, but not my apps.

    The computer that I originally used with my ipod touch is dead, so I am now synching with another computer.  I had to restore the software of the ipod, I am able to drop and drag my tunes back to the ipod but not my purchased apps.  I have no problem doing this with other ipods that I have synced and backed up to this computer.

  • Purchased a tune on iTunes that shows up in my iTunes playlist on my PC but when I try sync with my iPod nano, the new song doesn't show up.

    I purchased a tune on iTunes that shows up in my iTunes playlist on my PC but I tried many times to sync my iPod with iTunes and the new song doesn't show up in my iPod.
    Any idea how to fix that?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hello there Beluga111,
    It sounds like you have a newly purchased song that is not syncing to your iPod Nano, but there is no error message. I would start by restarting your computer, and resetting your iPod with this article:
    How to reset iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
    Sync the device again, and if the issue persists, I would restore the iPod Nano with this article:

  • TS2830 Sync for IPod Touch quit working and I get error messages "a session could not be started" and "a connection could not be established" although the IPod appears in ITunes.

    This is a new problem for an IPod Touch  I have had for a year.  The IPod is hooked up by cable and appears in ITunes. I can examine all the content on the IPOD  and I can click "sync".  It goes through to Step 7 and then the error messages occur.  First "a session could not be started with the IPod" and when that dialogue box is closed, the message "a connection could not be established to the IPod."

  • IPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read or written to.

    I have...
    G5 ipod video 30Gb formated to PC
    iBook G3 600MHz
    iTunes 7.1 (59)
    iPhoto 4.03
    I use my ipod to contain all my videos, photos and music manually and nothing stored on the iBook itself, as it only has a small hard drive. I have a large amount of photos that I have in iphoto (a total of 3254 photos and 60 folders!) which I am using whilst travelling the world. I have recently started syncing photos to the ipod as a backup, also adding a copy of full res photos. This syncs fine and I have all photos on my ipod, but when I add more photos to iphoto and then plug in the ipod it will start to sync though itunes, but then will come up with an error stating "The ipod "NAME OF IPOD" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    The ipod still has all the photos it originally had, but not the new ones.
    I have tried deleting the file that is in the library that contains the information file, this forces the ipod to re sync and start all over again with adding the photos, which it will add the new photos, but the probelm will happen again as soon as more photos are added through iphoto!
    Can anyone give any advice, I really can't format the ipod and start over agaian as I will lose all my music etc and I don't have enough room to store them elsewhere!!!
    Please any help please! I really need to back these files up incase something goes wrong with the computer, then I will lose all my pictures!
    Help!
    Thanks

    Hi Rob!
    First off, it might be worth upgrading to the latest iTunes version, which is 7.1(15) (or at least I think that's what it is on a Mac... for Windows, it's 7.1.1.5).
    Regardless, you can install the latest version of iTunes here:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    Also, if that doesn't seem to help with anything, have you seen the suggestions in this article?:

  • Windows XP + iTunes: (sync) photos not copied...cannot be displayed on ipod

    Hello all,
    I'm sorry if this is a known and solved issue but I'm really frustrated about it.
    I have bought a brand new ipod Classic 80GB. My system is running Windows XP SP2 (up to date) and iTunes 7.5.0.20. I have an NTFS Hard Drive (2 Partitions, C and D) and a FAT32 Hard Drive (1 Partition, E).
    Every time I try to sync my ipod through iTunes with a video or photo I get the following error message: "Some of your photos, including the photo PHOTO_NAME, were not copied to the iPod IPOD_NAME because they cannot be displayed on your iPod."
    What is this? I have followed the photo (and video) sync procedure to the letter. On my laptop (also Win XP SP2), iTunes works just fine! So there's nothing wrong with my photos/videos.
    I looked around the Internet and found there's a similar issue in Windows Vista with RAID and/or NTFS. I do NOT have RAID or Vista.
    It there a known bug also in Windows XP? Is there a fix expected?
    I tried moving my photos on a USB FAT32 Stick but still I was unable to sync them with my ipod.
    Any help or information will be much appreciated.

    Near as I can tell, iTunes DOES NOT like a JPEG with an embedded color profile. I too have been seeing a simliar issue and did some troubleshooting last night to arrive at this conclusion.
    Pictures exported from Adobe Lightroom would sync to my iPod Touch via iTunes without any issue. However, Pictures saved from Adobe Photoshop would fail with the error "Some of your photos, including the photo PHOTO_NAME, were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be displayed on your iPod."
    This set me to looking at the differences in the JPEGS that Lightroom was creating vs. the ones that Photoshop was creating. I finally arrived on the inclusion of the color profile.
    Pictures exported from Lightroom, while converted to the sRGB color space, did not include the profile in the image and sync via iTunes just fine. Photoshop, on the other hand, automatically includes the profile when saving as a JPEG and these pictures WILL NOT sync via iTunes. Even if you tell Photoshop to not include a color profile, it includes a piece of metadata that says the profile is not specified (which is distinctly different from Lightroom which omits the metadata entirely.)
    Choosing File|Save for Web... (as opposed to File|Save As...) in Photoshop does not include any color profile (just like exporting from Lightroom) and syncs via iTunes just fine.
    I'm very curious to know if the images that you (and others) are having problems sync have, for some reason, a color profile embedded in them. In Windows Explorer, you can right-click on a picture, choose Properties, select the Details tab and look for the Color representation property. My assumption is if it is blank, the picture will sync fine, but if it is anything else it will not sync.
    It'd be great to get confirmation from Apple if this is indeed an issue - that JPEGs with embedded color profiles are not sync'd with iTunes. I'm going to do a few more tests today and see, if by chance, including a Mac color space on the image enables it to sync or not.

  • Newly added songs show up in my library but do not sync to my ipod 6th generation

    I recently purchased songs from itunes and they did not sync to my ipod.  However they do show up in my library.  How do I get them to sync?

    Make sure they are configured to sync to your iPod.  For example, if your iPod is set up to sync only checked songs and videos, make sure these new tracks each have tick marks next to them in your main iTunes library.
    Perhaps this article can be of assistance.

    Hi Dennis!
    I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:

  • I got a new laptop and now all my music will not sync to my iPod touch. How do i fix this??

    My old latop crashed and now i am using a laptop from work. i signed into my apple account. I downloaded 4 cds to my iTunes, and restored and updated my iPod touch 3rd generation. i tried syncing all the music on my account to my iPod, and it will only sync 48 of 600 or so songs. The 48 songs are from the 4 CDs. How do I get all of my previous music which does show up into my iTunes music library to sync to my iPod. HELP

    While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.
