THERES NOTHING ON MY NANO! i reinstalled evrything, reset the nano..reboot reboot reboot! PLEASE HELP! =(

Actually, if iTunes thinks your iPod is connected to a different library, and you tell it to sync automatically with the current iTunes library, iTunes will erase all the songs on your iPod, and then re-load them all.
It is possible that something happened on your iTunes that caused it to re-generate the library. So while it's the same computer, and same user account, the library may not have the same identifier it used to.
I'd recommend just letting iTunes have its way and reload everything. Make sure there isn't any music on you iPod that isn't in iTunes first. They have it do that big sync right before you go to bed. When you get up in the morning, it will be done and you'll have your iPod back.

IPod Sync issues in Windows 7

I know that there is little to no support for Windows 7 yet, but, is anyone else having an issues syncing their iPod 5th G with iTunes? It will appear in Windows and in iTunes and then it will be "ejected" and disappears from Windows. iTunes will give a "timed out" error because the iPod is missing. I have an iPhone 3GS and that runs with no issues.
I'm running the final build of 7 (6.1.7600). Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys! I was in the same boat as all of you, but I was sure their had to be a solution to this problem. I found a solution that worked for me! Ive got the Windows 7 64bit, and my ipod is sycning as we speak! Follow these steps.
1. Disconnect your iPod Shuffle from your PC
2. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL, start the Task-Manager, go to Processes and end the process for "ITunesHelper.exe" (this will prevent iTunes from starting when you re-connect the Shuffle.
3. Now, re-connect the iPod Shuffle - iTunes should NOT start by itself and you should be able to see your Shuffle within the list of your drives (My Computer.
4. Next, download SharePod from http://www.getsharepod.com/download/ and extract the .zip file and start the Sharepod.exe
5. If everything works out, Sharepod will recognize your iPod Shuffle
6. Sharpod won't start if iTunes is open but it will work vice-versa. So, start iTunes NOW and keep Sharepod OPEN.
7. iTunes will re-detect your Shuffle but it will still be available as a hard-drive afterwards as long as you keep Sharepod OPEN. Detection can take up to 30 seconds so be patient.
8. Now go to the iPod Summary tab within iTunes and DESELECT "open itunes when this ipod is attached". Scroll down on the same page and also check the "enable disk use" checkbox. Click the contents tab, then the settings button and choose the amount of disk space to allocate. I chose 5MB. Click back to the settings tab and APPLY those changes.
9. Close iTunes WITHOUT ejecting the iPod.
10. Close Sharepod and simply disconnect your iPod Shuffle (i.e. pull it off the dock).
11. Reboot your computer. After the reboot ITunesHelper.exe will be running again you don't have to care about Sharepod or processes anymore. That is, you can delete sharepod if you want.
12. Simply connect your iPod to the PC as you used to do, open up iTunes and everything should work as it did back in the good old days.
NOTE: Don't eject the iPod from within iTunes going forward, simply disconnect it from the PC manually by pulling it off the dock yourself when you're done.
This solved my sync issues, and I hope it does for you too.

Ipod sync issues with itunes 11

Hello,
My classic iPod syncs very slowly with iTunes 11, it starts out syncing (2 songs) & then just "sits" with no progress.
iPod sofware is up to date, version 1.1.2.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I figured out how to put it in recovery mode and I'm starting over, this ipod is more work than it's worth.

Ipod sync issues with Windows 7

I just purchased a new computer with the Windows 7 operating softeware and now I cannot sync my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) but I do not experience this issue with my old computer with Windows Vista. When I need to update my Ipod I have to connect it to my old computer. Help. I do not want to pay Apple for support when I see countless post about this issue.

Are you set to manually manage on both computers? If not, an auto sync on one of them will erase the iPod and place that computer's library on it.
No that wouldn't be it. The manual vs. Auto sync setting is stored on the iPod, not on iTunes. So if you take a manually managed iPod and plug it into an iTunes it has never connected to before, the new iTunes will still recognize the iPod as manually managed and not do anything bad to it (in theory).

ITunes to iPod syncing issues

I updated my iPod a week ago (after installing OS.8), where by all my music was removed from my iPod, and I couldnt sync my music back on it. So I gave it a week for any bugs, etc... Have just been asked to update again so did that, but I still cant sync my music!
I click what I want, click 'Apply', it syncs and then I look on my iPod - nothing! So I click 'Sync', still nothing! I use my iPod for going to the gym and this is getting old very fast.
What are you playing at? What is the point in having a device to play music if it cant play music?!

Same issue with an iPod Classic 160GB. After the update, losing everything and restoring (twice), the device is recognized in iTunes, the source destination is correct, and it says it's syncing, but the process completes in a matter of seconds with no music pulled into the iPod.

Multiple ipods syncing issue - need assistance

Have a Windows XP computer and while on user B's profile, plugged in ipod A to recharge battery. When I plug in the other ipod B within the owner's (User B) profile, a window pulls up stating that ipod A is tied to another library and if I want to erase this ipod B and sync it to this library. I can see the library in iTunes and its the correct library for ipod B/user B, but do not want to lose the songs. Right now, no songs appear on ipod B, but they are all in itunes at this time. So, if it ok to erase and sync so that when I plug in ipod B into this windows profile itunes, it syncs back to the existing library?

Additional detail to the issue above: iTunes is not identifying the device correctly. It states its one ipod when the other is plugged in. And the existing library is for the other ipod, not the one with the device label.

IPod syncing issues with iTunes 10.3.1

I was trying to sync my iPod Nano this morning to add some new songs. When it gave me the error message: "Attempting to copy the disk "xyz Ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I did a restore on my Mac Mini running iTunes 10.3.1, with no success. I tried to perform a restore on my MacBook Pro that was running iTunes 10.2.2. and it was successful. I then tried to sync with the Mac Mini again and got the same error message. Obviously Apple has an issue here. So if you have access to an older version of iTunes, try that as a workaround.
running MacMini OSX 10.6.8

Had the same problem with my iPod recently. The problem was due to a bad photo file and the -39 error appeared after synchronizing photos.
The problem was resolved this way :
In iTunes,I went to the photos tab and unchecked the option to sync photos.I chose "Apply the settings" and synchronized. I re-enabled that option and synchronized again. All my photos were synchronized on my iPod and error -39 was gone !
It's worth a try....

IPad & iPod sync issues with new iTunes

Since the latest iTunes update,
1. My iPad Mini won't allow me to swap out TV episodes. I routinely change what episodes to carry around with me. It will add and remove mp4 video files without a problem. One time I even saw a download progress bar as it transferred episodes over, or so I thought.
2. Syncing my iPod Touch never used to be a problem. Now it takes a long time (delays during waiting for items to copy), and I cannot seem to bring songs I purchased on the device over into Windows. It used to do it before the main syncing. I tried to download the new songs from the iTunes Store but it halted and says the following:
"There was a problem downloading -name of song-. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
What's going on? I really need to bring these songs over to my hard drive.
Thanks for your help.

Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.

New ipod sync issues with itunes libraries

my old ipod classic screen has shattered and a friend has given their old ipod classic, which has been erased of old data, so it is clean.
the ipod connects fine, but when i go to "sync" in "file" it won't let me, i restored the factory settings on the ipod via "settings" and "reset settings", and restarted pc as itunes requested, but the only way to transfer the music was via "autofil" from "devices" menu, but i still can't autofil movies or tv shows.
i noticed when i go to "file" it now says "sync songs" rather than simply "sync" but it still won't give me the option to sync, so how do i sync my whole library with my ipod.
any advice would sincerely appreciated.
many thanks.

Not sure why this is occurring - no such problem with my iPad, nor with 3 different iPhones used over the last 4 years.
Do you have manually manage music and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences, or are do you have Sync Movies selected under the Movies tab along with Sync Music under the Movies tab and Sync Apps under the Apps tab?

Ipod sync issues

my ipod is not auto syncing anymore - in fact plug into mac and i see it is charging but does not show up on itunes to sync

I see, well, that, unfortunately means that the application you wish to sync is not compatible with your version of iPod. there is a list of versions of the iPod touch on *THIS SITE* . Often, games and apps downloaded from the itunes store are very specific. You could always log into your itunes store account and check for the app you require and you might find two or three listed (but for different ipod/iphone etc models)

ITunes upgrade and iPod syncing issues

I opened itunes and it said there was an upgrade for it. I installed it and when I plug in my ipod, it syncs, then when I try to sync it again, it does not. on the initial opening of itunes I noticed that windows has the ipod drive listed as "G". upon syncing it disappears. I unplugged the ipod and then plugged it back in. windows again recognizes the ipod and the ipod automatically syncs when connected so it can find it in itunes. as soon as its done syncing, again it disappears from windows. there has to be a fix for this. as far as I can tell its in the itunes software that is causing this because I have not changed any drivers. any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't want to do manual update, theres nothing else we can really recommend. You might want to invest in a cheap External drive and put all your music on it. You can get one for 100 or less if you shop around

New Computer - Updated iPod - Syncing Issues

Greetings!
I bought a new computer in January. At that time, I transferred my songs over to my new computer from my old computer using a cross over cable. At that point, both of my iTunes libraries were the same.
Since then I downloaded more songs and updated songs in the library, so I decided to finally sync my iPod classic to the new computer. I knew that I would have to restore the iPod, but since the libraries were the same, there should be no problem, right? Wrong!
Before erasing the iPod and syncing the songs, I stupidly decided to upgrade the software for the iPod (which I haven't done since I got it, due to reading related problems on here). So that goes fine and erase the iPod. Now on to syncing the library.
All the songs sync perfectly. The problem is with my video files. I had these movies on my iPod before I updated and erased the iPod. But now, iTunes says that the files are incompatible! I do not understand since they worked perfectly fine before! What happened?
According to iTunes they are MPEG-4 video files. The movies were made specifically for an iPod, so I do not understand what is going on. I figure that it might be due to the upgrading I did, but when I restore the iPod it always comes back with the same version (since there was no previous version on the new computer).
Is there a way I can fix the MPEG-4 problem or download and install the previous versions of the iPod software since iTunes does not give me an option? Should I try going back to previous version on my older computer (will this even work)? Mainly I would like to know why the MPEG-4 file that worked perfectly before is giving me problems and if it can be fixed.
Thank you!
(a frustrated) Lindsay
