Ipod sync but...
Excuse my english.
So, my iPod normally syncs with itunes but songs and podcast don't appear in my iPod's library.
I tried to update the software, it doesn't work, then i tried to restore, it doesn't too.
Si un francais passe par là, je met mon message en francais pour qu'il puisse expliquer mieux que moi mon probleme.
Mon iPod synchronise avec itunes normalement, mais les chansons n'apparaissent pas sur mon ipod, de plus a chaque synchro, il réédite les chansons. Ce probleme est arrivé apres un transfert avec Yamipod dans l'urgence. J'ai tenté a l'aide de l'ipod updater de faire une M.à.J mais ca n'a pas fonctionner, et de restaurer totalement l'ipod, c'a n'a pas fonctionner non plus, me donnant ce méssage d'erreur. "Echec de formatage, Erreur ecriture disque". Impossible de trouver une solution sur le net.
hiya!
"Echec de formatage, Erreur ecriture disque".
see:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
but if you have a Toshiba laptop, also see:
iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop
So, my iPod normally syncs with itunes but songs and podcast don't appear in my iPod's library.
let's check on:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only) -
My iPod syncs, but doesn't save ANYTHING on the iPod
Basically, my iPod syncs, but doesn't save ANYTHING on the iPod, its the first iPod I have used and it really annoys me... I have tried pretty much everything :@
Help?!Hello JellyPopJade,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How do you have your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library? Automatically or do you manually manage its contents by dragging what you would like from your library to the iPod.
If you have it set to automatically sync all checked songs and videos, make sure each track you wish to sync to your iPod is checked within your iTunes library.
Under the Summary tab for your iPod, is there any space taken of by the "Other" category (orange)?

HT1386 ipod syncs but doesnt update new songs from the library to the ipod
I had problems syncing my ipod touch, a message appeared on the computer, which said the itunes program was corrupted/damaged so it advised to reinstall itunes, which i did. This wiped my library from the computer. When i connected the ipod to the computer it said it is was syncing, but no data got transfered either from the ipod to the computer or visa versa. My ipod still retains its songs/apps etc.

Ipod "Syncs" but doesn't add new music
My ipod has always worked perfectly fine with my computer and itunes. Yesterday I added a new mixCD to my itunes and tried to sync it with my ipod. My ipod shows up in the sidebar, and goes through a "sync" process, but hasn't added the new music.
Additionally I tested my ipod's syncing abilities by changing the name of a song on my itunes. This song is already on my ipod touch, so if it synced properly, the name should change. I hit "sync" but name did not change and my new music remained missing on my ipod.
Does anyone have any idea what this problem might be? I feel like it's probably something very minor I'm just not understanding.
PS I have a second gen Ipod touch, but have yet to update it, could this be the problem?See if your Touch is set for "Manually manage music and video" (connect ot iTunes, look at the iPod's summary page). If so, then any changes you make in iTunes will not sync to the Touch -- that includes new music you add to iTunes, and changes you make to your library. If your iPod is in manual mode then you need to manually add new music, and if you change your library in any way you need to manually add the updated song(s) and delete the original version(s) on your Touch.
If you don't want your iPod in manual mode, un-check the "Manually manage music and video" option in iTunes and click the Apply button. You will then be able to synchronize your Touch to iTunes. -
My ipods syncing but not transfering music off my computer to my ipod?
Right iv recently got a new cpmputer!

Ohh and theres a space in my captivity that says 'other' and its yellow! dunno how to get rid of it! HELP ME PLEASE!
- You can only sync an iPod with one iTunes library. Your new computer is a different iTunes library.
- Assuming that all yur media (apps, music etc) are in the iTunes library of the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup. -
Ipod syncs but itunes does not copy to ipod ?
Itunes syncs with ipod but does not copy to ipod ?
Hi ranko65!
I think it's possible that your iPod is not appearing on the desktop/in the Finder because you are automatically syncing your iPod with iTunes, but Disk Use is not enabled.
See this aricle for details:

My ipod syncs but when disconnected wont show music?
When I connect the ipod it'll come up as "scan or fix disc" and i've fixed it for both the file errors and the recovery of bad sectors thingy in that window that pops up, and I've restored it several times in itunes. At first it would sync certain songs then it would get to a random song and say that the file was bad. So I tried syncing without those songs and it showed that it synced the memory even showed they were on the ipod, but then when I ejected the ipod it showed no music. Also, now everytime I plug the ipod in, itunes immediately stops responding. pleassseee help.
- WIth theiPod connected to your computer click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is shown used in the Music category and how muchin "other".
- Try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod and then syncing. -
Classic iPOD syncs but won't download???
I have an older classic photo 64gb iPOD. I am unable to download songs after it syncs with my iTune library. I have updated the ipod; I have rebooted the ipod;I have authorized the ipod for home sharing............ What next? Model number is A1099. Thanks for your help.
Automatic syncing is based on how you have the iPod's Music tab set up. Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. This tab is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod. Make sure Sync Music is checked.
If your entire iTunes Music library fits on your iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then, every change to your iTunes Music library should sync to the iPod, because "everything" is on the iPod.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, you create your selection of songs by selecting playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres. Apply the change to sync your selection to the iPod.
NOTE: Your iPod's current content will be replaced by your song selection on the Music tab, when you click Apply.
Songs that are NOT included in your selection on the Music tab will not sync to the iPod. -

This is the Mac OS X Technologies > iSync forum - you are a Windows user.

iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.
See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages. It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer. is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios? I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...any ideas what's wrong?
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:

Hi,
I have an old laptop running WinXP Home SP3 with iTunes 10.2x installed. I sync my old iPod Classic120GB and a newer iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I am moving everything to the new one. I did not have a problem with the old iPod. But when I tried to sync the Touch it just freezes while trying to backup the existing contents. I have read a few support docs and have tried some of them where I have to tweak some of Window's Admin tools. I have also uninstallled and installed iTunes. There are so many things to try in the troubleshooting steps that I can't really figure out which is which. I also can't backup the contents of my current iPod Touch by attaching the device and right-clicking on it. The Backup context menu just isn't there.
I currently have iTunes v10.3x and I need some "serious" help. :-) I did the Run Diagnostic with the device attached. I looked at the report and saw something that might be the cause. I am running iTunes not as the administrator. But if I try to run it as an admin, the Library is now different and I'm just "scared" to screw things up some more.
Thank you.
Horace
P.S. Should I send the diagnostic report? Is it safe? If not what info should I exclude? Thanks." When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
