IPod iTunes won't sync with computer iTunes - please help

Hi,
I recently purchased an album on iTunes wireless (Maroon 5 - highly recommended) and when I connected my iPod to iTunes to sync the songs did not transfer to my computer's iTunes. Nothing happened basically.
I've read the manual that says that they should sync automatically but nothing that I've tried works.
My setting is for manual sync and transfer of songs and I would really like to keep it like that since I don't want all my iTunes library to be dumped into my newly purchased iPod Touch. PLEASE HELP
Thanks,
Tal

If you manually manage your music it won't automatically sync your Maroon 5. Connect the Touch, right click on it in the Source frame under devices, then select transfer purchases.

  • Mom's iPod nano won't sync with my itunes?

    I've got my ipod and iphone syncing to my computer's itunes fine, but when I plug my mom's ipod nano (5th or 6th gen) into my computer it won't sync my music onto it. No error message, just every time I unplug it there is no new music. She's got some music that came on the ipod already so I'm not sure if I need to delete that or what to make it sync with my itunes. Itunes recognizes it and I can see what's on it, it just won't sync. Thanks!

    Hi Charlie,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your iPod nano isn't actually completing its sync, I would put it through this troubleshooting assistant:
    iPod nano (3rd generation) Troubleshooting
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano3gen/
    Try syncing again after each suggested step.

  • New ipod touch won't sync with my iTunes

    I am old time iTunes user who just got new Ipod touch. It starts to sync but at last step message is "Waiting for next stage" or something and it won't sync.  I tried everything I can think of. I have lastes iTunes version. My old ipod still updates and syncs works fine. 

    Maybe this:
    "Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities
    or
    'waiting for items to...: Apple Support Communities
    If not what did the message say?

  • My 2005, 60GB iPod color won't sync at all! Please help!

    I can't sync my iPod at all! I've looked everywhere for help and have found nothing. The only problem the iPod is having is this: When I click the 'Sync' button, nothing happens. There's no error message, nothing what-so-ever. iTunes reads the iPod and everything on it with no trouble. I even reset the iPod back to factory settings. I've never had this problems when I was using a PC and now, on a MAC, I can't sync!
    Could it be my user settings? My boyfriend thought when he created my settings on this computer that if he made my account an Administrator account that it would void HIS administrator settings; like there can only be one Admin per computer (which is not the case), so maybe my limited settings are interfering with my iPod? I can't download much of anything without his Admin user name as pw.
    Help!! Any one have any ideas about this?
    Thanks!

    Are all of your songs in your main iTunes Music library and playable in iTunes?
    Check the Summary tab on the iPod in iTunes. Is it set to +Manually manage music+ (a checkbox)? If so, uncheck that setting and click the Apply button at the lower right. It should now be in sync mode, but if it still does not sync your songs, go to the iPod's Music tab (next to the Summary tab). Make sure the +Sync music+ checkbox is checked and the +All songs and playlists+ option is selected below. If you made a change, click the Apply button at the lower right.
    I even reset the iPod back to factory settings.
    Does that mean you used the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software? If so, iTunes should have asked you if you want to sync you library to the iPod during the procedure.

  • What do I do if my iPod won't sync with my iTunes?

    My iPod has been working perfectly fine for about a year and a half now, but when I connect it to my computer it won't sync with the iTunes program. It shows that it is connected to my computer because it's charging, but not to iTunes. I'm not sure what to do, any ideas?

    Find a more powerful USB port or buy a wall-mount charger from Apple.

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
    I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
    Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
    The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
    An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
    Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
    I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me out. 

    If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
    Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

    Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!

  • My new ipod nano won't sync with my new itunes?

    I have purchased a new ipod nano and for some reason it won't sync with my itunes.  Please help

    Make sure the Enable disk use option is NOT ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. If you do have to remove this tick mark, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower left hand corner of the window in iTunes to update the changes to your device. Then try restoring it again.

  • Ipod Nano won't sync to my itunes:(. Help!

    For some reason my ipod nano won't sync with itunes.
    However my ibook does reconize it when I use my usb cord.
    Do I need to purchase a firewire for it to sync with itune?.
    HELP:)

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.

  • Ipod touch (5th gen) won't sync with computer

    I had to close my itunes on my computer because it was not responding and now my ipod won't sync with my itunes anymore.  It charges normally, but my computer reads the ipod now as a camera instead of an ipod.

    Try:
    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
