IPod will not sync to newer computer

Friends,
I have a perplexing problem. I am moving my computers around. I always move the faster one up to the office while the older one goes to another room. Currently I have the iPod synced to a MAC 450 GHz G4 computer. I wanted to move the iTunes and sync to my faster computer. ...I have a G4 dual 1GHz MDD. I inserted my pod into the dock and it requested that I sync to the iTunes new computer. This required that the iPod be erased. I have already moved the library to the new G4 1GHz via DVD discs as per the instructions for moving to a new computer. However, within about 4 minutes as it was writing the tunes to the ipod, a dialogue box popped up and said " Attempting to copy to the disk "my name" iPod failed. The Disk could not be read from or written to." I checked the iPod drive via disc utilities. Everything is fine. The iPod mounts with no problem. I even purchased music that the library disc is on ( I keep a separate drive for the library) every thing is good. I updated my OS (10.4.11 and the iTunes is 7.6.1 (9) For some odd reason my 1 Ghz MAC will not sync to the iPod. I then tried the ipod on the old G4 450 GHz and it re syncd...... no problem. Any suggestions ??? Trouble is .. in order to test it ..... you gotta see if it will write all your tunes.. I really want my 1 GHz to be the main "sync" one.
Second problem, but not as serious... every time I insert my pod into the dock, BOTH MACs tell me that I should use 2.0 USB and connect the dock to the back of the computer. IT is connected to the back of the computer!!!!!
Mike

Did you download the ne iTunes?(i think its 11)
If that's the case then you need to go to "music" and select that you want to sync your music.
Hope that helps.

You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings. There is no other way.

My Ipod will not sync to my computer.

My Ipod will not sync to my computer. There have been several pop ups saying that my Ipod Is unable to sync.It also says i don't have the correct disc? I don't know what that means. I have tried unplugging my ipod multiple times to see if it will sync correctly, but It hasn't so far.All i really need is to put music on my ipod. Please help soon!

Not sure what the problem is. I'd try to troubleshoot it. See if it will work with a different USB Transfer cable. See if it will connect to a different PC. See if OTHER iPods will connect to YOUR PC. Usually when something like this happens it's a setting that has been changed, or unfortunately, it can also be a hardware issue (iPod connection port broken, USB Transfer cable broken, etc...) Let us know if any of these things work or if you get it fixed. Good Luck!

For some reason my iPod will not sync with my computer. It comes up with an error code of 13019. Does anyone know what this is or where to find out?

IPod will not sync with new laptop

Alright everybody, got a tough one here I can't seem to figure out. I have a 3rd generation iPod touch. I had it synced with my now secondary desktop that has my library and everything on it. I am now trying to get my iPod switched over fully to my new primary laptop. I am running iTunes 10.5 and iOS5. The iPod will sync fine with the desktop but when I try and sync and erase with my laptop absolutely no music will transfer over. I can click the device tab on the left and look at music and they are all grayed out as if they are ghost files. Does anybody have any suggestions? For the record I have tried to restore the iPod and set it up as a new iPod on the laptop but the music files still will not sync. I can go back and plug it in to my desktop and everything syncs fine. Thanks in advance.

Is your new computer authorized with the same account? About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Did you try to transfer purchases and back up manually before your sync?
Connecting to a new computer will erase your device during the first sync. But you can use the manual backup to restore from afterwards. Make sure to have at least onwe contact and event listed on that computer as well, syncing to an empty address book will delete contacts and calendars on the ipod.
Also check your restrictions, to make sure app installation is allowed.

My iPod will not sync to my computer. Help!

I just got a new 30gb iPod and uploaded the music off of my sister's laptop. Now, when I try to upload the music off of my computer, it will not allow me to do it. I don't know what the problem is because it used to let me upload from both computers. I have tried manually syncing it, but when I drag the files over to my iPod link, the strikethrough circle appears. Please help!!! Thank you.

Before you start, remember that connecting to a new iTunes library will erase your device during the first sync.
Here's how to save your data and settings: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
After that you can connect it and set it up again. If it is not recognized in iTunes, follow this article: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

HELP!!!!!! I changed Computers and My Ipod Will Not Sync the New Music!

So I've changed comupters. I just reinstalled itunes and I'm trying to sync a new album on my ipod but the artists, songs, album will not show up on my ipod even after I clicked sync. How Do I transfer music that I bought on my first laptop onto the one I have now?

*I just reinstalled itunes and I'm trying to sync a new album on my ipod but the artists, songs, album will not show up on my ipod even after I clicked sync*
Check your update preferences. Click on the picture of the iPod in the left pane of iTunes. This will bring up the tabs in the main pane to the right. In the first tab "Summary" check to see if your iPod is set to "manually manage songs and playlists". If you have songs on the iPod that aren't on your computer then leave it at this setting, if you change it to sync automatically it will erase anything you have on the iPod and replace it with whatever is in your new iTunes.

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases you'll find details on transferring them to your new computer in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows

Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
