Ipod synching?

I have an i pod classic, 6+ yrs old, with the recent apple upgrade to i tunes I can no longer get my podcasts to sync to my ipod, the playlists do not show on the ipod and neither do the podcasts ... I've created new playlists, and they do not synch, I've tried addidg the podcast to old playlists they do synch, but the podcasts do not load to the playlist, the podcast do load load to the ipod. If the did, I would create an on the go playlist. How do I get the podcasts to load onto the iPod????

Apart from additions of new music, has your library changed in any way since you last connected your iPod to it? Syncing new music won't delete anything from the iPod as long as you haven't removed the songs from iTunes since you last connected. If you don't want to sync automatically you can change your iPod to manual updating and drag the music you want from your library. In manual mode the content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod - Syncing Music
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

Ipod synching incomplete

When my ipod synchs with PC it finishes, but is not complete - only gets as far as M!

Yes, same problem, and it started recently, around the time of the v.10 iTunes update.
I have several podcast subscriptions in iTunes, with the unplayed episodes synced to my Touch as part of a playlist. Invariably, after an update and sync, one of the tracks is missing. I also have a collection of old radio programs, and will typically add six or seven to iTunes to sync them to my Touch, then replace them after I listen to them. Again, they go to a playlist, and again, one is always missing after the sync. In both cases, all show up in iTunes. Lately, I've noticed that it seems to be always the first one on the list that is excluded.
Undoubtedly a bug in iTunes. Until they fix it, here are the workarounds I've found. First, always sync twice in a row. That is, as soon as a sync finishes, hit the sync button again. It usually picks up the missing track on the second try. If I don't do a double-sync, the missing track never gets transferred, even if I sync again later. In that case, I then locate that track in iTunes, mark it as "played", then mark it "unplayed" and sync. That has always worked.

You would need to drag the shared library into that computers library so that you now have it to sync over to the idevice.

IPod synch - not updating iCal events

Several people have posted that their calendars are not synching to their iPods/iPhones/&c. at all. When I synch my iPod(s) (80GB video), the iCal calendars show up, but using an older database. That's to say that I change and add and delete events on my iCal database, but the iPod does not reflect the changes until weeks later. I have tried backing up iCal, re-synching .mac, resetting synch data, and changing the calendar settings in iTunes from All to Selected Calendars (and then selecting every calendar). I have even reset the iPod and updated the iPod software through several versions, but I still have the same problem. Sometimes after I synch with iTunes, I actually have no calendars on my iPod at all, although resynching seems to take care of that.
I have had this problem for a while (so it's not Leopard's fault) and on more than one iPod (so it's not a problem with a particular iPod). One thing that I have noticed is that the deletion of one instance of a repeating event is never reflected in the iPod calendar. That is not, however, the only problem with the synch, as new, one-off events do not show up, either. Because I need to have this calendar up-to-date whenever I leave the house in order to make appointments during the day, this is an untenable situation. I'm certainly not spending money on an iPhone (or recommending any of these products to anyone) until Apple comes up with a solution for this.

I have the same problems, or sometimes it transfers some of my calendars but not others, although "synch all calendars" is checked. Does anyone know a fix for this?

You will have to set the ipod to manually manage all songs and playlists. This will allow you to connect your ipod to more than one computer.

Why does my IPOD synch with my laptop and not my desktop?

I have tried since Christmas Day to get my Daughter's IPOD to synch with my desktop, with no success. I took it to the local Apple Store and they said they restored it and it should work fine. When I tried to connected it again, it still did not work. I put in a new USB 2.0 PCI card, and still had no success. I decided at that point to try and synch it with my laptop which worked. It only has 1.1 USB ports; Both machines are running XP SP2; I can see no other reasons why it shouldn't synch with the desktop. Can any suggest a hint or a fix. My Daughter is starting to lose her patience, that I can't have!!!!!!

Problem after downgrading back to ITv.6....missing music during iPod synch?

I recently happily downgraded back to iTunes v.6 after experiencing a nightmare with iTunes v.7. Since re-installing v.6, everything is fine except for one strange and annoying problem. I'm hoping someone can help, so here goes....
Now, when I synch/update my iPod as I had always done (not automatically, but with selective playlists checked), about 400 of 1700 songs do not transfer from my G4 to the iPod. However, when I switch to update with the automatic option to include all playlists, all 1700 songs transfer over to the iPod. I believe I've narrowed this problem down to one particular playlist which may not be getting recognized by the iTunes library. In other words, I want this one playlist to appear in iTunes, but not on my iPod. But, if I try to update with this one playlist unchecked, 400 songs do not transfer over. This seems odd since all music files (mp3s) from all playlists are located in the iTunes music folder on my hard drive.
So, my question is....how can I go back to updating my iPod to include all of the 1700 songs in my library, but without the one particular playlist (which is quite large)? As was the case before the iTunes v.7 debacle, is there a simple way to get my library to recognize the particular playlist so I can update my iPod selectively without putting that playlist on my iPod? I've tried to do some online research before bothering the wise people on this Board and it would seem that I either need to: 1) somehow import that particular playlist back into my iTunes library or 2) create a new iPod library file which I understand may cause me to lose my playlists and comments. I'm afraid to do either without some guidance, for fear of making the situation worse. I'm not very technical and I'm guessing there's a simple fix for this, so I'd sincerely appreciate any help and advice. Thanks very much.

Someone Plz Help.
I reset my ipod and tried it in CD mode but it still didn't work!
What Should I Do?
Message was edited by: TigerMegz

+I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump.+
I'm curious about this point. Is there any flash of a blue screen at any point here? (That's a more familiar sort of thing to be seeing prior to the system doing a restart after a serious error.)

Playlist ipod synch

Since iTunes changed, I cannot synch my playlist to iPod shuffle. I only listen to podcasts. No matter what I do, I can only play old podcasts that i thought I deleted. The new podcasts just do not show up in my iPod, even though they appear in the contents.

Chris, your thoughts are greatly appreciated. I have no where near that many playlists.
My problem persists however.
How do I get all of my playlists to show up to be available for transfer to my iPod...(ie those T-Z playlists)?
The playlists are in iTunes, and the music of those playlists are easily playable on my computer, just not available for transfer.
Why?

Slow iPod Synch with iTunes

I'm using a networked linksys NSLU to house my music library and music files. When I plug in my iPod (video), it starts to synch immediately (I have it set to do this). The problem I see is that it takes forever >10 minutes to just even evaluate my 16gb of music to determine if there are any changes to synch.
This seems extremely slow. Is this because it's doing it over the network to the linksys NLSU?
Anyone else with this problem? Suggestions on getting the synch to happen faster?
Thanks.
Dell Windows XP Networked to linksys NSLU

I've been frustrated w/ the speed for a long time.
When I first got my video ipod it took over 24hours to initially load it. This was w/ only 10-12GB of music.
The other week I had to reinit my ipod and fully reload it. This time I had approx 12GB of tunes, and tons of video files. Total load size around 50GB. This time it took just over 12 hours.
I discovered that the video interface of the Windows version of iTunes is a CPU hog.
Minimize iTunes while its loading your iPod. This more than doubled my data transfer rate to the iPod (over USB2.x)
fyi, I run an old PCI ATI graphics adapter. My friends w/ way faster graphics never complain about the speed issue.
On older versions of iTunes I also found that it helped to set all the iTunes processes affinity to the boot strap proc (first processor typically as Windows sees them). This had helped w/ speed, but also helped eliminate blue screens. The need to do this seems to have been eliminated in the v7.x iTunes.

Ipod synch - file/directory corrupted unreadable

getting this message out of no-where, has been synching fine till now. is there any way back? Does restoring settings remove ipod content?

it's usually best to restore the ipod when you're getting one of those. see:
iPod: What to do if Windows displays an "itunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
the restore will clear all content off the ipod.

IPod Synching random songs

Whenever I plug my iPod in to my Windows XP laptop, it beings synching about 291-293 random songs instead of simply the newest uploaded or altered tracks. I restored my iPod, and it synched correctly, until I changed its options regarding podcasts. After checking the option to upload ALL podcasts instead of all UNPLAYED, it began synching more than 200 songs unnecessarily again. What is going on?

see doing the following helps
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
