Ipod won't install music

I have had my iPod for almost a year and now i cannot install music into my iPod. It will only transfer about 60% and then stop. I've tried dragging the files into the main music section of iTunes and it won't work. Also when i restored my iPod it didn't help at all. Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this issue. Thanks.

There was an issue with my iTunes so I rebooted my computer and now it works.

My ipod won't sync music because it says ipod does not support the music, although it previously downloaded the same music onto the ipod

Newest ipod gen,
My ipod won't sync about 89% of my library because 'it doesn't support the song' but I previously had the songs on my ipod, downloaded from the same computer. Itunes on my computer had issues and I'm now re syncing all music. How do I get my music back on my ipod if Itunes says it can't be synced?
Thanks!

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

My iPod won't play music on my dock. It still charges on the dock. The dock will still play other iPods

My iPod will not play music on any dock. It will still charge on a dock though. The docks all work with other iPods, just not mine. I have tried to reset it by pressing down on the home and power buttons but it didn't change anything.

Are the other iPods 4G iPods with iOS 6.1.3?
If it worked before with 6.1.3 then:
- Make sure the i{od is fully sated in the dick
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

30gb iPod won't load music

I recently got a new PC with Vista, I downloaded the new iTunes, authorized the account to work on my new PC. When I connect my iPod nothing transfers to the iPod. I loaded three CDs on my PC they are in iTunes, but I cannot get them to my iPod. My "old" music (music) loaded on my other PC is listed under my device, and is "greyed" out I cannot play that music or do anything with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

"My "old" music (music) loaded on my other PC is listed under my device, and is "greyed" out I cannot play that music or do anything with it"
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to syncronise (automatically update) with iTunes. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that it also enables disk use by default and the iPod has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
You are actually fortunate that your iPod did not sync as you cannot update automatically from multiple libraries or computers and your iPod would have been erased and replaced with the content of your new iTunes: Using iPod with Multiple computers

My iPod won't sync music due to a disk error, how do I fix this?

I just got a new iPod 4G and it won't sync any of my music or apps. I really don't need anything else on my iPod so I have everything else unchecked. I have tried a system restore and to reset all settings but nothing works. I also have tried deleting the Photo cache folder and that didn't help either. I am going on a trip in less then a week and I would really like my iPod to be working for that trip. Please help!! Thank you in advance.

I just got off the phone with senior level support at apple. There are two things she had me do to fix this problem.
1. Uninstall itunes and then re-install version 10.7 from the apple website here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/
2. Then go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl837, this will take you to the Quick-time version 7.7.3 for Windows page, download & install this version. You will need to reboot after this install and once you have finished you should have no problems opening Itunes.

New iPod won't install on laptop

I've just got my first iPod classic (120GB 2008 model) and I've got the latest iTunes...but when I plug it in via USB, it won't recognise my iPod.
It doesn't appear in My Computer or on iTunes. I've gone through all the troubleshooting and none of it seems to help. When I go into My Computer > Right click 'Manage' > Device Manager it shows the iPod under other devices, but it has a yellow question mark and exclamation icon next to it.
When I try to install the hardware through Hardware Update Wizard I get this error message: 'The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software. Click back if you have installation media such as a CD-ROM, or if you know the location of the software.'
This has me stumped - help! (Please can you keep explanations simple and explain step by step? I'm not completely untechnical, but I'm not that techy either!)
Thanks.

Something happened and now the iPod things you are connecting to a different library/computer. See the following for making this "new" computer your syncing computer.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media like apps and music are in the iTunes library it is very easy.

Ipod Touch - turn off slider appears on startup and ipod won't play music

Hoping someone can shed some light on my problem.
The two problems I have are:
1) the red Turn Off slider appears immediately on turning the iPod on
2) when the play button is hit, it automatically pauses immediately.
The problems in detail:
I have a 2nd generation iPod touch that was working fine until I updated to 3.1.2 firmware. It worked fine for a few hours and then the touch screen began behaving weirdly. First, it wouldn't allow me to slide the unlock slider across the screen, and then when it finally would let me, it basically accessed random apps and moved randomly between the app home screens. All of this was jerky and erratic and it looked as if my iPod had gone schizo!
I took the iPod to a Genius at the Apple Store, but when I arrived the problem had fixed itself (at least, the random accessing of apps etc), but I noticed that on startup, the red turn off slider would appear immediately. After canceling the slider, I went to play some music. Immediately after hitting play, the ipod paused. Repeated attempts yielded the same results. It won't let me press play or listen to any music, regardless of whether it was iTunes purchased, an audiobook, podcast or whatever. You hit the play button, it turns into a pause button for a split second and then reverts back.
I have tried restoring the iPod a number of times on my computer and other macs (I'm running 10.5.8 OS X and iTunes 9). I have also done a couple of option+restores, having downloaded previous firmware versions (3.0 first, then 2.2.1). Both attempts left me with an error message (20). I am going spare about this and would really appreciate any advice!
There is one thing that worries me. I have been told by the Genius I spoke with that the moisture indicator inside the headphone jack shows that it has been exposed to water. Would this result in the above described problems? Everything else seems to work fine. I have even managed to get YouTube back after fiddling with the date settings (i.e. setting the date to 2030 and then back). I want to either restore my iPod to a previous firmware version that worked or make the update that I paid for work the way it should!
I appreciate any suggestions!

this happened to me. I figgered that after you play apps like games which r side ways causes this for example nba live lite it caused the problem to me same when the slider stays in one spot i see that apps cause this problem. i just figgered it out cause it happens allways after certian game apps or other app. To fix this test all the apps and see and delete the ones which cause this but not all apps which r side ways cause it. I hope this helps

Ipod Won't Play Music After 4.02 Update

Hey guys,
I just updated my Touch to 4.02 and now I'm having problems playing music and other sounds. At first, the Ipod would play though the built-in speaker but when I plugged in headphones the volume control disappeared and music/sounds would not play. I reset my Ipod and now it's the opposite; volume controls disappear and sounds won't play when I unplug headphones.
This is really frustrating as the update really didn't help me any it just keeps me from jail-breaking my Ipod, it's pretty ridiculous. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a similar issue. I can't get the sounds to play on the internal speaker on the iPod but they will play when headphones are plugged in. It appears that the software thinks my headphones are plugged in when in fact, they are not. Help!

G5 iPod won't load music

I just got a new 80G G5 iPod. But It won't update my music files. When I sync with iTunes, my videos sync as well as any Podcasts and my contacts. But none of my music files.
I did move my iTunes library to an i/o Magic external hard drive, but my videos are here and they are updating.
Any suggestions?

Hi miller2149,
What exactly happens when you try syncing music to your iPod? If you get any error messages, then please quote what that says.
Also, as a temporary solution, see if you can manually load songs onto your iPod, by selecting "Manually manage songs" under the "Summary" tab in iTunes, with your iPod connected. To save your changes, click on the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner of your iTunes screen.
With your iPod set to manually manage music, now you can go to your iTunes library, and drag over whatever songs you want onto your iPod.
Also, as well as restoring your iPod, as "a Mac user" suggested, try out these five iPod troubleshooting steps:

IPod won't transfer music but is syncing

I have installed iTunes 9.0.1.8 and have restored my iPod shuffle as it was accidentally formatted by Windows a while back. iTunes says my iPod software is up to date (software version 1.0.4). When trying to copy music across or autofill, the first message is "waiting for iPod..." it then says "syncing iPod" and then the Apple logo is displayed in the message box but no songs were loaded on the iPod. Not even the settings are saved, the same messages are displayed but the next time the iPod is connected, none of the settings have been kept (such as "enable sound check"). Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem - extremely frustrating? Thanks

Ya this is a long time problem with the iPod. My older 30GB original 5th generation iPod did it occasionally but doesn't do it much anymore. It seems to be related to the order in which you unplug the headphones with pausing/stopping. My older iPod may have a bit of a worn headphone connector since it doesn't usually pause the iPod anymore when I pull the headphones, so I wonder if the old one doesn't do it (your problem) anymore since the auto pause feature doesn't usually work?
Now with my new 80GB iPod, where the headphones do auto pause the iPod, I have been getting this issue a LOT lately. I haven't really done an extensive test yet, but it appears if I pause my music first then pull the jack out, it happens. I haven't determined yet if the order of HOLD ON then headphones or Headphones then HOLD ON has any effect. But so far in a couple tried, pulling the headphones while music is playing, forcing the iPod into Pause, then putting the HOLD ON, I have not had a problem. But it has only been a few tries in that order, so the jury is still out.

My ipod won't sync music suddenly

I have an iPod Touch and it hasn't ever given me problems with syncing music until recently. Everytime I try to sync music onto it on itunes with my Mac computer (which is how I always do t) it won't let me. A message pops up that says "An unknown error has occured (13019)." Does anyone know what 13019 means? Is it a code for the type of error it is?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

1st generation ipod won't play music

I have a first generation iPod that I have never really used before, but would like to use now.
I downloaded iTunes 11 to see if it will work. iTunes recognizes the device and allows me to set certain options.
It also has several times said that it has synced with it.
But nothing will play on the iPod, i.e. no sound will come out.
Also, there does not seem to be anyway to show what songs are on the iPod, only what is in the iTunes library.
I have restored it to factory defaults with no difference.
Any suggestions?
Does iTunes 11 work with 1st generation iPod.

This is the 1st gen iPod shuffle, that looks like a white USB flash drive, with a built-in USB plug? FYI - This document shows the four shuffle models
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
If it's a 1st (or 2nd) gen shuffle, select it in iTunes. Toward the top of the iTunes window, there are two buttons that say Settings AND On This iPod. The Settings screen is probably what you already used, "to set certain options." Click on On This iPod. This screen shows a list of songs that are currently on the shuffle, and you can use this screen to remove songs from the shuffle (and change song order), once you have songs on it.
At the bottom of this screen, there are Autofill controls. That is one way to load the shuffle. You can "automatically fill" the shuffle from your iTunes music library, or from a playlist.
To add individual songs, drag songs from your iTunes library and drop them on the shuffle. The easiest way to do this is to use the iTunes sidebar (along left side of iTunes window). If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. Find the shuffle in the sidebar, under the heading DEVICES. From your iTunes library, drag songs (or other audio items) and drop them on the shuffle.
