Ipod not updating syncing

my ipod nano 4th generation i think,  connects to laptop and comes up in itunes but it will not sync or update my ipod???

Hi,
I had a similar problem, all you can do at present to rectify this is to grab your playlist or new created playlist or song from the main library or playlist and drop it into the ipod tab under devices and it will auto sync the changes or songs. Hope this helps.
There seems to be a problem with the syncing of itunes 11 (mine is 11.0.5) when you just use the normal sync method. the above should work and has worked for me when transfering a playlist straight into the ipod it automatically syncs.
Regards.
Nick

    Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

    Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
    I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

  • ITunes Not Responding and Ipod not Updating

    Everytime I connect my Ipod to the usb, it shows up on itunes and as a drive. But when usually the ipod should be updating, it brings up a window saying itunes isn't responding,giving me options to send the error report or not, and then no matter which i choose, itunes closes and ipod does not update. Even if I reopen itunes, the difficulty happens again.Please help. I have updated my ipod with the latest updater and reinstalled iTunes.
    THANKS

    This may help -- not sure you've got the exact problem I had, but worth a try:

  • IPod not updating with iTunes

    When I plug my iPod into the computer, it is not updating with iTunes.
    The software version on iTunes is 1.2.1 and is the same on my iPod.
    I did have a relapse last evening, as my iPod got confused. It stalled, so I had to drain the battery and recharg it. When I plugged it in today to the computer, it is not updating with iTunes - and I did update it to 7.1 version of iTunes, but the software version still says 1.2.1.
    It also says my ipod is up to date with iTunes.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Donnie

    See if there's any help here.

  • Mobile.me Calendar does not update/sync on iPhone

    Since I did my upgrade to the new version of Mobile.me Calendar (as requested by Apple!), my iPhone no longer shows entries that I have typed into the Mobile.me Calender website. I no longer use iCal because Apple said it would not work with the new version of Calendar on Mobile.me, so I did the upgrade to stay in sync with calendars on my mobile.me site and iPhone, but the iPhone does not update. I deleted my calendar entries on my iPhone hoping that the Mobile.me would re-sync the data, but that didn't happen either. Here is my info:
    iPhone version 3.1.3(7E18)   Model MA712LL (first original iPhone)
    What else can I tell you to help me please?

    Please always post your System details when you have a question. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
    Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
    Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
    Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

  • New Ipod not updating or been seen by Itunes

    Yesterday I bought a new black Ipod Nano to replace the one that got broken in a freak accident. I plugged in the new Nano into my PC, go the popup stating the software on the Ipod needed to be updated. So I went ahead and ran the Ipod Updater. Then distear struck. During the update process, my PC got restarted. My Ipod got rebooted during this time. Now it will not Update/Restore or even be seen by Itunes. It shows up as a drive under Explorer (E:). While it is plugged in the PC's USB port, it displayes the "Do Not Disconnect" icon, however no updates are happeing. When it is not plugged in, I can access the menu on the Ipod. I have went through all of the "Five Rs", AND when that did not help; followed the directions in the article "Ipod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 but nothing has changed. After uninstalling Quicktime/iTunes/iPod Updater, restarting my PC, clearing TEMP folders, restarting my PC again, then reinstalling the latest Quicktime/iTunes/iPod Updater, then restarting my PC again (getting bit tedious with all the restarts), I still cannot update my iPod Nano or transfer music to it. HELP! Right now my Nano is just a brand new 270 Euro paperweight.

    Xinh,
    Since you was in the middle of updating when the PC rebooted, your iPod software is corrupt, even tho this artical talks about seeing the apple logo and the iPod not turning on, it covers damaged iPod software which you have to have cuz the update never completed before your PC rebooted
    Just follow the instructions and the link "Disk Mode" in the artical to see how to put the iPod into disk mode http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61584

  • IPod not updating! HELP!

    I need help desparately! Whenever I plug in my iPod to update new songs that I have downloaded, iTunes shows that it is updating, but once iTunes shows that it has been updated and I disconnect my iPod, the new songs are not on the iPod! The songs are still saved in my library, but they will not update onto the iPod.
    Also, two similar warnings continue to come up on my computer:
    iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
    The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\TempFile is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
    AND
    a30:iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
    The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\PhotosFolderPrefs is corrupt and unreadable. Please run te Chkdsk utility.

    Ack...Ok
    This first article deals with the iTunes.exe corrupt file and how to fix it as well as addressing your seconds question.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300554
    Basically, among other things you need to download the latest iPod Updater. This article will elaborate on what you need to do. Good Luck and come back if you have more questions or problems.

  • IPod not Updating Properly

    when i upload a cd onto itunes and it goes into my library, i plug into my ipod and let it connect and hit upload ipod and it acts like it's uploading but when it finishes, i go to my ipod and see if the cd uploaded onto the ipod and it hasnt.
      Windows XP   Video iPod

    well I did those steps without it plugged in the first time and nothing happened at all and then I did them the second time with the ipod connected to the computer and it worked. What should I have checked on my preferences for my Ipod then? Currently, "enable disk use" isn't checked.
    And something odd just happened when I got out of the preferences window. A box which hasn't popped up before just now came up saying about another library. A couple weeks ago, my friend took my Ipod and hooked it up to her computer to see if she could get her songs from her library onto my Ipod but when a box came up saying something about deleting the curreny songs from my ipod, she cancelled the entire thing. Could that have anything to do with why my ipod wont update now?
    Currently in my disk management I see:
    just my C drive and that's it

  • Itunes will not update/sync ipod shuffle (1st or 2nd gen).

    Hello -- I've seen a few postings with similar issues, but no answers that work yet, so I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
    Recently, I can not get itunes to sync or update either my 1st or 2nd gen shuffle. itunes sees it and diagnostics says everything is fine (although the diag program takes 5-7 mins to run). Non-shuffle ipods work fine on the same USB port. Also, the shuffles work fine on other computers.
    I have deinstalled/reinstalled itunes, as well as the USB driver. I downloaded the reset utility for both shuffles and run. No difference after any of these efforts.
    The problem is the same for autofill or drag/drop. itunes says not to disconnect the ipod as it's sync'ing and the little sync symbol appears next to the shuffle, but itunes just locks up ~5 mins. It returns w/o an error message, but nothing has been copied. It's the same whether I try to copy 1 or 100 songs.
    Any help will be appreciated. I'll cross post in 1st gen discussion as well.
    Thank you,

    None of the suggested fixes in the knowledge base article you referenced resolved this issue for me. Further, I cannot use the iPod Reset Utility to restore the iPod as it is not 64-bit OS compatible.
    I have been unable to sync my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen with iTunes since the release of 8.1.1.10. The new release 8.2.0.23 has not resolved the issue. Hopefully Apple will take notice of all the problems here on the forums and release either an iTunes or firmware patch to resolve these problems.

  • TS3212 Ipod will not update/sync with new songs I have purchased after downloading win 8.1.  Help?

    I have a 160GB ipod, i think it is a classic.  After uploading WIN  8.1 on my computer I can no longer sync my ipod to my itunes account.  From the looks of things online I am not the only person with this problem. 
    Any fixes?  I have about 40 songs waiting for me.
    Second question.... is there a way to download the music from an ipad to an ipod?  I ordered a cable with double IPOD ends...will that do it for a sync?
    Nancy Rolljns

    I have the same problem and it looks like MANY people have this problem. My iPod Classic 160GB will sync with various computers runing Windows 7 or less, but not my Windows 8.1 notebook. It freezes both the iPod and iTunes when trying to copy anything to the iPod. I can erase songs on the iPod, but not copy to it. On another Windows 7 computer it all works perfectly. I have even restore and re-formatted the iPod in question multiple times. Windows 8.1 thinks there is a problem whenever I connect it and wants to scan for errors. It never finds any. No such problems on oother computers. The Apple drivers seem to have a problem on Windows 8.1. Even another iPod copy program has problems with this iPod on the Windows 8.1 computer, but not on any others. I have tried all the different USB ports, external USB hubs, etc. Windows 8.1 does not like the iPod Classic 160GB model.

  • IPod not updating cuz I'm not authorized to play some songs on my computer

    I updated to the newest Itunes version, but my ipod won't update with the songs that I purchased from Itunes. It did update the songs that I burned from a CD.
    The error message is: Some of the songs in the ITunes music library were not copied to your IPod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer.
    I went to advanced --> Deauthorize computer, and tried to click off of the top setting, which is "Deauthorize Computer for Music Store Account" but could not click off of that.
    Your help is much appreciated.
