Ipod Touch 3rd Gen Don't Sync Music

Today, I Tried To Put Some New Music On My Ipod Touch. My Touch Synced And Then I Tried To Listen To These New Songs But My Music Player Frozed And Led Me To My Music Menu. The Songs Were Still There But I Couldn't Listen To Them. I Thought "It's Only These Songs, I'll Only Have To Re-Sync Them" But It Didn't Work. And Then I Realized That Most Of My Songs Had The Same Problem (Can't Listen To Them)
Please Somebody Help Me

Ok so i'm gonna re-write my post so you can help me ... by the way, i speak french so if there are sentences that you don't understand i will re-write them for you. I tried to find a discussion in french but it seems that there are no disscussion in french.
My problem is that i can't listen to some songs even if they are in my music list. By exemple, if i go to the "Artist" tab, i pick Avenged Sevenfold, i pick the album Waking The Fallen, i want to listen to Eternal Rest but the song does not play.
How can i fix that ? And what is the problem ?
Please somebody help me

my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings. I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill.
After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

Make sure you have some free space and if you do then buy a new syncing cable

Ipod Touch 3rd Gen won't sync with windows

I've tried all the different troubleshooting through Apple but can't get my Ipod Touch 3rd Gen to show up on windows much less sync with Itunes. I just went through the process of fixing my Iphone so I know that Itunes is properly installed and the other drivers should be good. I even turned on Bonjour, which the one of the trouble shooting steps exposed. Any tips other then buy a new Ipod touch?

IPod Touch 3rd Gen will not sync or charge

Hello all,
I'm using a 3rd gen ipod touch, but when I attempt to charge or sync this device the ipod refuses to respond. I've upgraded itunes to the latest version, and I've also ensured I'm using a working USB 2.0 port. When the iPod is detected, I can go to device manager I see that the device is plugged in. Despite all of this, the ipod doesn't appear in itunes and is never charged.
What gives?

IPod Touch 3rd generation will not sync music

My 3rd generation 32GB iPod Touch won't sync music. It will not even be able to start to sync. A message "The iPod "Cindy's iPod" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." It was given to me in August 2010 as a gift, and it was bought from Costco in America. The iPod has been updated to IOS5. I am using a Windows 7 laptop, and this is the very same laptop I have been using to sync the same iPod for the past year and a few months. The last time I was able to sync it was February 26th, 2012.
When I drag music to onto iTunes to sync it with the iPod, it will not sync, and the song is whited out and has the syncing symbol to the left of it (but not swirling).
Everytime I unplug and plug the iPod back in to sync it, the songs I tried to sync from before are still white out, and they are still there even after I delete them (and unplug and replug the iPod back).
I have tried restarting the laptop, reinstalling iTunes, and turning off and on my iPod.
When I try to restore the iPod, iTunes won't let me.
Normally, if this happens, I am able to permanently delete the none syncing song from the iPod music library, and resync it by dragging the file from the laptop and putting it into iTunes. I have tried over 10 times, but the same problems happen each time.
Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about.

Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

If you can see the iTunes Media folder inside your Music folder in your computer, put all your songs their and try resyncing everything in your iTunes. It should be able to work as that is what I did to this type of problem before. Hope it helps.

IPod Touch (4th gen) will not sync music after the latest iTunes update

I'm using iTunes on a PC with Windows 7 and after the latest update (iTunes 11.2.2), it will not sync with my iPod touch 4 (also updated to the latest possible version - iOS 6.1.6).
Before the update there was no problem with the sync. And this iPod has always been synced only with this computer, and this iTunes library.
After the iTunes update, several songs on my iPod were greyed out and unplayable (the library plays fine in iTunes).
Now, when I try to sync, iTunes goes through all the steps, saying it finished syncing, without any error message but there is no actual change on the iPod.
I've tried deleting all the music on the iPod, to resync the entire music library anew.
Again, iTunes went through all the steps, finished "syncing" and nothing - and, of course, all the music on my iPod is now missing.
When I check the "On this iPod" option in iTunes, the entire song list shows up there but appears greyed out and unplayable.
On the actual iPod device, there is absolutely nothing in the Music app - no songs, no playlists.
The iPod always shows "no data" in the Music app.
Sometimes iTunes shows that I have 18GB of music on the device, sometimes it shows 0GB ...at one point it showed "no space available". But it has plenty of space - 23.5 GB of available space out of 32GB.
To fix this I've tried the following:
- automatic sync, manual sync, manually adding/deleting songs on the iPod, autofilling and replacing songs;
- resetting my iPod by holding the (on/off and home buttons) and resetting through the "reset all settings" option on my iPod;
- reset and restore from backup;
- uninstalled and re-installed iTunes on my PC.
- I've run the diagnostics tool in iTunes - all tests passed;
...plus various other suggested solutions I have found in the similar topics around here.
(I've checked and there are no restrictions to the songs, the computer is authorized, etc.)
Absolutely nothing works and it is very frustrating, as I usually only use the iPod for the music.
Please help.

My iPod touch 3rd gen will not sync songs.

There is no error message, just whited out songs. The files are not corrupt on my computer (running windows 7x64). Everything seems to run smooth on iTunes, except for the ipod.
It just says it's done syncing and then there's none of the new songs, just whited out songs as if they were corrupt or something. I've reset the thing, I've reinstalled itunes, I've been trying to solve this for a year.
Help!

IPod touch 4th gen, will not sync music or movies but plays everything else. This has been since 2 updates ago. We have reset, restored and done everything told but no good has come of it. The identical 1 we have has no issues. It is now on 6.1.5.

This 16gb model number is ME179BT/A if that makes any difference. It still plays apps and games with ease but will not download media from either the computer or iTunes store. We have restored and reset the thing but it will not work.
This has been playing up since October. It started with it refusing to switch on/off or do anything so I rebooted it then restored it but it didn't download any media. We have tried several times since to fix the issue but it just won't work.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know as the uncertainty of this device is killing me. What has happened to Apple??? We have all had Apple devices for over a decade but suddenly the whole thing has gone mad, constant updates and need to buy newer devices...... I think Samsung may be the better option the way rhis is going? We were always happy to pay the premium for the assurance of quality but that is no longer the case!
Please let me know if there is anything to be done with this so called media player??
Thank-you.

My iPod Touch 2nd Gen won't sync music from my computer.

I connect my iPod to iTunes and it says "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)."
Photos, apps, movies, and such can all be changed and synced, but audio files can't. I can put a song on the iPod and iTunes will that it's been added, display it amoung my other music, but when it doesn't actually appear on the iPod itself.
All my software in update-to-date, I've tried using different cords to connect my iPod to the computer, and I've restarted the iPod several times.
Is there something wrong with the iPod? How can I fix this?

Have you tried here:

Ipod touch 3rd gen won't sync with itunes..i know i have to replace the battery as it won't hold a charge.

It turns on fine, appears to charge but will not hold a charge..It won't sync with my Mac Book Pro, iMac, PC or Netbook. Do you think it is the battery?

What happens when you try to sync? Error messages?
An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store might be useful.

My Ipod touch 3rd generation won't sync apps

Ipod touch 3rd gen won't sync apps. Can't find a trouble shooter for this. Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot. It has never happened before. What can I try?

Thanks for the great suggestions! I just worked out how to fix it! For some reason, I had to manually transfer the purchases from the ipod to the computer (never have had to do that before). Once I did that and re-synced, it worked fine.
BTW, answers to your questions in case it helps someone else:
-no, I don't have restrictions
-yes, always use the same computer to sync
-yes, always the same account
-yes, error message was "Itunes cannot sync apps to the ipod because the apps installed on the ipod could not be determined."
I managed to fix it! Thanks for the help!

Sync failed to start w/ iTunes 10.7, iPod Touch 3rd gen

Since upgrading to iTunes 10.7 on Windows 7x64, I have had trouble getting my iPod Touch (3rd gen, 5.1.1) to sync. I am getting the message "sync failed to start". This happens with either WiFi or USB connection to the device. I know the iPod WiFi is working because the Remote app shows my iTunes library, fetches email, etc.
After installing iTunes 10.7, when I connected via USB, Windows tried to search for and install new drivers. After a very long delay, I canceled the search and continued using the existing drivers. I'm not sure if this is related.

I have resolved the problem by 'shutting down' my MacBook ('restarting' the computer was not sufficient to resolve it). While I was at it, I took the battery out briefly before rebooting – don't know if this made the difference, but I do know that Apple Tech Support have instructed me to remove the battery momentarily on previous occasions when resolving other issues with the computer. Anyway, either just shutting down (or shutting down + removing the battery) seems to have resolved the problem, as iTunes is once again recognising my iPod Touch and I'm able to sync again. Phew!

The iPod will only sync with iTunes. Install iTunes on your computer, import the music into the iTunes library and then sync.
