IPod will not add music/sync after iOS 7.1.1

Since downloading the iOS 7.1.1 update I am unable to add music to my iPod Touch.
I manage everything manually; and, when I drag music from my iTunes Library to my iPod it shows that it is ready to sync but the process never happens.
I have the newest version of iTunes and have tried rebooting everything with no luck.
Any ideas to fix this other than restoring the iPod? Would the next iOS update fix this?

Hey Ross, OK no joy with reboot...? Have you tried going into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings.
Or Connect with your computer using the cable, then First, make backups from your iPod to your computer of all your stuff. Then Restore from Backup. If still no joy, after the making your backups, Restore to New, a full restore.
If your working with a windows machine, have you tried un-installing iTunes then re-installing iTunes, then try syncing with your computer? (If windows, that's all I know to try.) Good luck. Cheers.

My iPod will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download

My iPOD will not connect to itunes after windows 8.1 download
I already uninstall itunes and made sure there were no file left before I installed again (it didn't appear to be any files left but music I had on it before was still there when I reinstall it)
My ipod does work on my old computer and it was working on windows 8 before I update to 8.1
I don't want to installed again because I just did that and didn't work!
I want to use my iPod on this computer and system. Can this be fix?

Hey TheBurntApple,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone connecting to iTunes for Windows. While you may have already attempted most of the steps in this article, I wished to provide it to you just in case something was omitted.

HT4623 iPhone 4s will not register with server after iOS 6 update

My iPhone 4s will not register with server after iOS 6 update. Does anyone has similar problem?

Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

Apps will not install or update after ios 8 installation

Apps will not install or update after ios8 installation

The solution that worked for me was to identify the apps that were stuck updating, and then find them on my iPhone. (You can't search for them, you have to find their icon on your iPhone's desktop.) Then I deleted those apps. Then I went back to the App store, and they downloaded/updated like normal. I did the same thing for the same problem on my iPad, and that also worked.
Best of luck to everyone.

My ipod will not save music on it after it has been disconnected...how can i fix this?

My iPod classic does not save music on it. It saved music on it twice and when I connected it to add more music it would no longer save music on it. It keeps resetting itself. How can I fix this?

Apple will exchange the iPod for $79

Fourth Generation iPod will not stay in Sync with iTunes

My wife has a 20GB 4th generation Ipod that she uses everyday. Every 2-3 weeks the some of the playlists will not play. When entering a the playlist it will advance through the entire list and then will go back to the main menu. This does not happen with all lists but when re-syncing with iTunes it will work for a few weeks then start again. Any Help?

Have you tried the basics?

My iphone 4s will not add music from itunes

I have given my old iphone 4s to my mother in law, when I try to add music on her windows computer, (after ticking the required songs) the top status bar starts to apply, then just cancels itself.
She has an iPad 2 and it works perfectly.

IPhone will not connect to iTunes after ios 7.1.2 update

I was updating my iPhone 4s to the new software update (ios 7.1.2) and my computer fell asleep. My iPhone now is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and when I plug it into my PC iTunes will not connect to it.
I've tried putting it into recovery mode (won't allow me to slide to power off), and I've tried iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I've also tried rebooting my computer, updating iTunes and enter DFU and Recovery modes
When plugged in my device manager recognizes that an apple device is plugged in that is in recovery mode....
I'm trying to back up my phone while it has the most recent software so I can transfer it onto my new 5s
Please help!!

You've tried the following procedure?
Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
If this still doesn't work, you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your device evaluated.

My iPad 2 WILL NOT complete / finish sync after update of 7.1

I have tried syncing my iPad 2 several times and even left it overnght to complete the sync, but it gets hung up at "Waiting for changes to be applied" which is the last phase of the sync. I have restarted my Mac Book and my iPad 2 TWICE and tried resyncing at least twice. Restoring my iPad isn't something I want to do considering all of the apps I have and reorganization, etc. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Nobody is dying to restore a device, but I've done it several times and I never had to reorganize my apps or folder structure. I'm not saying that the folder structure will not blow up on you if you restore, but it hasn't happened to me....yet anyway.
You restarted the iPad but did you reset the iPad? I would also close all apps on the iPad, then reset the device, restart the Mac again and then try to sync again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPod will not charge, shuts off after three seconds

Pretty much what it says up there. When plugged in, the screen comes on for about five seconds, then the device turns back off. I REALLY want to avoid a DFU restore, because I didn't back up my apps. Any way to get it to turn on?

I am afraid you will not be able to get your iPod Touch to turn back on. My iPod Touch did the same thing yesterday, and it would not turn on. Your only option (as far as I know) is to hold the home button while plugging your ipod into the computer. Then you will be able to go into iTunes and restore your iPod.

Latest generation 160 gb ipod will not play music when play button is pressed

latest generation 160 gb ipod classic will not play songs when play is pressed.Everything else forms and functions are ok

Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

Ipod Touch(4G) won't sync after iOS 5 update

After I updated to iOS 5 my ipod could no longer sync with my iTunes. When plugged in it will appear on the left of iTunes but the sync button is grayed out and unpressible. I have tried restoring a backup on the ipod, resetting to factory settings, reinstalling iTunes, rebooting computer/ipod, and creating a new library. I have never had a problem like this before. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the same problem and read where one person turned off ICloud. I do not have I Cloud activated so I went ahead and turned off WiFi. Now it is syncing.
It used to not get past Step 1 of Syncing and it would say "Fail to Sync" or something like that.

Ipod will not update from library after transfer from one PC to another?!?

I recently transfered my itunes library from one PC to another using the ipod hard drive and according to the directions listed on this site. All went smooth and roughly 12GB of music transferred. After all music was successfully transfered to the library on the new PC I reconnected my ipod via USB hub and the dialog box popped up asking if I now want to associate my ipod with this new computer. I replied Yes.
As expected the program then deleted all 3000 songs off of my ipod and was supposed to then upload all the songs from my library (all songs were checked) back onto my ipod. For some reason all that happens is it says "update complete" and no songs transfer. I now have 3000+ songs in my library and ZERO on my ipod! I've checked all the default settings to be sure it is set to automatically update, all songs are checked and the box is checked to update checked songs, etc. I've shut down and restarted my PC and even tried several different USB hubs. Also, if relevant, when I connect my ipod the computer itunes recognizes it and it shows up on the itunes screen, but just for a few seconds. After it says it has successfully updated my ipod (I wish...) the little tab which shows "Chris' ipod" then disappears and itunes acts like it doesn't even know a device is connected.
I'm lost - I'd really appreciate any feedback anyone can provide. Thank you in advance!

In iTunes Preferences, did you update the iTunes Library to the new location? In other words, are you pointing to the correct location on the new harddrive for your iTunes Library?
