Ipod no longer updating on version 9.02 of itunes

My ipod has always updated synched automatically with itunes until today after I was updated to 9.02 itunes. Now when I plug it in, I see the "synch in process" message on my ipod as usual, but it only stays on for a second then disappears and nothing is synched.
Does anyone know why it has stopped actually synching?
Thanks.
Brian

I have the exact same problem. Very frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated!

HT201210 Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3? iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.

If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

If you need a higher iOS, you will have to get a newer model iPod.

IPod no longer updates smart playlists after upgrade to 1.3

After upgrading my 5th Gen 30GB iPod to 1.3 I noticed immediately that the smart playlists on my iPod aren't updating any longer. Until 3 days ago my iPod had firmware version 1.2.1 and all smart playlists worked as expected.
I have many smart playlists that I have been happily using everyday for the past 2 years to play only new podcasts, shuffle my favorite tunes based on when they have been played last, and move songs in and out of My Top rated tunes based on their ratings. These no longer work on my iPod, but when I sync with iTunes they update fine. I didn't make any changes to my smart playlists before or immediately after upgrading, at least until I noticed the problem.
For the last couple of days since upgrading I have tried deleting all my smart playlists and recreating them, that didn't help. I have also tried restoring my iPod, which also didn't help. I have also tried creating a very basic smart playlist i.e.
Match all of the following rules - checked
Rating is ***
Live updating - checked
Sync'd that to my iPod and started playing a tune and changed it's rating to 5 stars. I then entered a static playlist, played a song from that and when it was done entered the new 5 star rating smart playlist and it wasn't updated.
I'm don't know what else to try, I've repeated the same test as above on my wife's 2nd Gen nano and it worked as expected. Has anyone else noticed smart playlists failing to update since the upgrade? I have searched here and on google, but only found reference to much older firmwares.

I'm having the same problem, once I've listened to a song in my 0 plays list, go out to a new menu, then back in, all the songs that have been played are still there, when a few weeks ago they were taken off and only unplayed songs were still there. Now if I switch to another playlist and back, I have to scroll all the way back to the point I was when I changed which didn't happen earlier.

if it's just itunes that isn't recognising the ipod, try:

Is my iPod no longer "updatable"?

I have an 8G iPod touch (MA623LL), 3.1.3 software. I'm trying to download the update but I get the message that I have the current version.
Am I at the end of my updates with the release of the the new iPod touch?

Hi,
Unfortunately, your MA623LL iPod Touch is first generation. I have the same generation (16GB), purchased Christmas 2007. Apple has decided that these are not capable of running iOS 4 .... from the update page:
+The iOS 4 Software Update works with the second-, third-, and fourth-generation iPod touch.+
Looks like we're stuck with 3.1.3

Rob

Ipod cannot be updated to version 1.2 due to use by another application

Keep on getting error in trying to update Ipod to version 1.2 (I have have Itunes 7.0 and Ipod version is 1.1.2). Says "it contains files that are in use by another application". Also tried restoring, etc and same error: "Ipod cannot be RESTORED because it contains files that are in use by another application".
Weird..
Mitch tried to help...but not exactly same problem. At least I am not getting the horrible error message that others are getting...
Please help..

I'm having this same problem, and I've tried disabling all security, scouring the processes in Task Manager, restarts, and a few other things, to no avail.
I may still be able to update songs, but any post-iTunes7 video is unavailable (not that I ever watch vids on my iPod anyway, but someday, maybe...).
Could this be a spyware issue? Are you guys using Dells? Could it be some Dell proprietary software? Maybe something for scanning peripherals? It seems to be an uncommon problem. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

My ipod does not update from version 4.1.2 to 5.0 as I do? mine ipod is 3g

because my ipod third generation did not upgrade from 4.2 to 5.0? says that version 4.2 is the most updated!

I suspect you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1 If yours is an 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G since Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPod. A 32 GB one can be either. To identify yours:

Ipod no longer updating songs :(

I have not had any previous problems with my video ipod. Now, when i try to update new songs from my itunes onto it, it APPEARS to work and itunes states that it is copying the songs and updating my ipod, but when i unplug my ipod none of the new songs are on it (All of the songs are in appropriate format). Upon unpluging my ipod, a yellow triangle appears in my launch bar and tells me that there is a corrput and unreadable file in \ipod_control\iTunes\temp folder- yet i cannot locate this on my computer. I can't think of any changes that would have prompted this error. I tried installing the 2006 software upgrade but it didn't help. I've tried resetting the ipod too. Is anyone else having this problem? HELP!
30G Windows XP

I have the same problem. Just the other day my ipod was working fine. But today it wouldn't update any of the new songs I added. The songs are in readable formats and there is still plenty of space on my ipod. But when my ipod is updating on itunes, it actually shows that each song is being added to my ipod on the computer screen. But when I check my ipod even when it is still connected to my computer the songs aren't there even though through the ipod window on itunes shows that the songs have been added. The number of songs on my ipod in the "about" section doesn't match the total number that itunes says has been updated to my ipod. I really hope somebody can help us out because this is driving me crazy.

My 5th gen iPod no longer plays songs that I bought from iTunes

After updating my iPod's software, the setting on it were erased so that everything was in sync with the computer. Not realizing this I found that all of the music on my iPod had to be re-uploaded onto my iPod. However the music and videos that I purchased no longer play despite being listed on the iPod. Can someone please help I've run out of options.

IPod no longer mounting on Desktop or appearing in iTunes sidebar

After upgrading to iTunes 7 (7.0.2 installed), my iPod with Video will no longer mount on the desktop and does not appear in the iTunes sidebar.
When I am recharging/updating the content of my iPod, I am unsure when to disconnect, as I am getting 'Do no disconnect' displaying on my iPod screen all the time.
Previously, I could click on the eject button within iTunes, and the iPod would continue recharging, but I wouldn't get the 'Do no disconnect' warning on the iPod once I had ejected the iPod on the side bar and shut down iTunes. The iPod display would only show the charging battery symbol and I could disconnect after one hour of charging, if need be.
Now it just says 'Do no disconnect' all the time.
I have reset etc, but no matter what I do, all I get is the permanent 'Do no disconnect'.

Just checked. The display is frozen. It says 'Do no disconnect' and has the red warning symbol.

Ipod classic (photo) and windows version not recognized by itunes on my macbook air. Iphone works fine and previously it also worked out with the Ipod. If someone has an answer that would be great. thanks

itunes on my mac does not any longer show my ipod classic (photo, window formated). It worked before and itunes with iphone just works fine. Any clue? Thanks.

Sorry to jump the gun, but did you connect the iPod via USB Hub on the MB Air?
If plug it into the wrong USB port, which is shared like using a USB Hub, I would suggest connecting the iPod directly to the MB Air and not via USB Hub.
But if you connect directly, have the iPod ever connect to iTunes, without problems, on this MB Air?
You got an old 4G iPod photo, based on iPod Software version 1.2.1
I mean downgrade to the iTunes version, that was working, with your iPod, but try the right USB port first before downgrading iTunes, with earlier version download here.

IPod no longer will play content or connect to iTunes!

Hi,
I just upgraded to iTunes 8.1 last night... I decided to do my wife a favor and get the latest version... big mistake.
OK, so i download and install 8.1, but it won't start up after the 8.1 is installed, keeps giving me an error 13014. I do some research and find that I might need to disconnect the iPod and restart the machine. Which I do. And iTunes comes back up, no error. Brilliant! or so I thought.
I never reattached the ipod, so my wife leaves for work and calls me MAD. What did you do to my iPod?! Um... nothing? well, nothing really... i just unmounted it and took it off the machine while i installed the new itunes.
OK, so she gets home, I look at the ipod it shows half of it's capacity is used, but if you go to music it says there isn't any...
Then I plug it in to the mac and BLEEP! itunes can't recognize this iPod, why don't you reset to #$*@ factory settings.
Do you have any idea how much trouble this is going to cause me?
I should add that this falls on the heals of some INSANELY ridiculous problems that i have been debugging with her itunes, ever since the genius (sarcasm) crap showed up in itunes her brand new iMac has been running iTunes like a 286. scrap that... like a TI pocket calc. It skips, it 'can't save library', it won't import some songs, it imports cd's at speed approaching never! I was all happy for her to have her first Mac, and now... i may never live it down. She revels in pointing out how messed up apple's licensing of the new ipod headphones is... she is turning into a hater.

This wound up being a hardware issue with the ipod.
