Ipod will not sync because microsoft outlook 2003 or later is required

I can no longer get my Ipod to copy my music CD's. I get the message: Itunes cannot sync Ipod "Users Ipod" because microsoft Outlook 2003 or later is required.
In the past I have muddled through suprisingly easily. Did I accept an upgrade that no longer works with my windows program. I think my windows program is newer than 3003.

You don't use Outlook to import music CDs into iTunes and from there to your iPod. You simply need iTunes.
What Windows operating system do you have?
I think my windows program is newer than 3003.
I think you're probably right.

Itunes 7.7 IPod Touch 2.0 - Will not sync calendars with Outlook 2003

All was fine until I upgraded both my Itunes to 7.7 and the IPod Touch firmware to 2.0. My Outlook Calendars and Contacts sync'ed perfect back and forth between Outlook on my XP machine and my Touch.
Now calendars will not synch. I've spent a day searching the web for answers and have tried all the suggestions. No luck.
Why is Apple blantantly ignoring this problem? I'm not the only person in the universe with this issue. Do a Google search - it's an epidemic.

YES!!! Finally, someone else is seeing this. And, for the record, they aren't "bugs", they are "undocumented features". Seriously, though, I had this problem with my podcasts not syncing right and it turned out that there was a new "feature" that would add podcasts to your iPod if they showed up in a playlist (and a few of my Smart Playlists had podcasts in them). Anyway, my point is, I'm wondering if there's not just some new setting or "feature" that we're all overlooking. It took weeks before someone came up with the answer on the podcast question. And the fact that contacts are syncing right means that it is AT LEAST communicating with Outlook. I thought at first it had something to do with the "push" setting, but turning that off didn't change anything...
What have you tried?

Ipod will not sync because playlist was deleted

We cannot sync ipod because playlist was deleted. We also cannot get past the registation page when ipod is selected in itunes. I understand Iam supose to chang the playlist for syncing but since I cannot get past the registration page I can't do this step. I am very frustrated and trying to get this working for my child. Thanks

*We also cannot get past the registation page when ipod is selected in itunes.*
Have you tried choosing "never register" next time you are asked. Never register shows up after the second or third time you connect if you have chosen "Register Later" previously.
*We cannot sync ipod because playlist was deleted*
You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011. I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC. I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it. HELP!

See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?

Is Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later required to run 5th gen ipod?

My 2005 5th gen died. A friend just gave me an identical one with a new battery and wiped clean of data. It tells me it can't synch with my library because Outlook 2003 or later is required. I have Outlook 2000. My original worked fine without what it's asking for. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hello jpgirl,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
According to this Apple support document, yes, Outlook 2003 or later is required and Outlook 2000 is not supported. I'm not exactly sure how you were able to sync it with the 2000 version, so I'm not much of help there.

IPod classic not syncing because I do not have the privilege?

My ipod will not sync with my computer because itunes says i do not have the privilege to do so. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have synced my ipod to the exact computer before and never had a problem until now. Even after I updated my itunes I was still having this problem.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

HT4235 ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
Thank you Espeon for the article

An Album (CD) I have imported in my iTunes, and is on my iPod, will not sync over to my iPad. Why not?

An Album (CD) that I have successfully imported into iTunes, and synced with my iPod, will NOT sync with my iPad, even though I have done everything I know how to do so. When viewing the music in "On This iPad" mode, I can actually see the album there, but it is grayed out, and in the left hand column there is a circle with dotted lines, as if it is an incomplete download--which in essence it is. But I have the album (CD) in my iTunes and on my iPod, just like hundreds of other CD's--what's up with this one?
Another characteristic is that since trying to import this CD into my iPad, I cannot get a successful sync of the iPad now; the syncing process hangs up in "Waiting for changes to be applied" for 3 or 4 minutes, and then it just stops. No message that "The syncing process is complete. Please eject before disconnecting." The sync just quits on its own, so I take it that the syncing process was unsuccessful.
Now what?

Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.
