Ipod won't sync all of my movies

I have at least two movies in my Itunes and my Ipod will not sync both of them. Unless I have a setting wrong, but they should be synced.
Can someone help?

Most of my videos are the Pixar shorts and some others I have converted. I would have thought the ones purchased from iTunes would have no problem. If there was enough memory on my 30GB iPod, there is certainly enough memory on my new 120 GB iPod. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a snow day tomorrow and calling tech support.

IPod won't sync all music to iTunes

I recently got a new Macbook Pro and needed to transfer over all of my music on iTunes from my old laptop. My iPod Touch has enough space to hold my entire iTunes library, so I synced it with the iTunes library on my old laptop, got everything onto it, and then synced it with my new Macbook Pro.
However, the iTunes on my Mac refuses to sync any music from my iPod that was not purchased from the iTunes store at some point. 75% of my music is from CDs and so 75% of my music will not transfer from my iPod to my iTunes.
I can't adjust anything on the tab on iTunes for syncing all music/entire library because I get a message saying if I do this all of the content on my iPod will be erased and replaced with what is currently in iTunes, which is barely anything.
All I've ever done is fought with iTunes every single time I try to do anything significant with it and I'm sick of it. I don't understand why iTunes won't simply take all the music from my iPod and put it into the library. That's all I want.
Please, can anyone help me with this?

OK after a long night I think I have answered my own question. I hope this helps others who may have experienced the same level of frustration I have.
If your music won't download from iTunes to your iPod because it is not 'authorised' see if this helps.
Go to the album or song that is not 'authorising'. Select it and push play. It should ask you for authorisation or a username and password. Put in your username and password, it should then go to iTunes store and it will now be authorised.
Be careful not to make the same mistake that I made and have multiple iTunes Store accounts. Mainly because I think it creates these problems on transfer of your library and secondly because you may not remember the password. If you forget the password, then simply get iTunes store to resend it. The only problem may be if your email account no longer exists. Mine does, so not sure what happens if it doesn't.
This in itself may not fix the problem either. I noticed on the left hand side of the music library, met to the song names etc, the '!" symbol in the column. This will also prevent it copying to your iPod. I am not technical, but it seems it lost the file path in transfer. Just double click the song and it will ask you if you want to find the path. Click yes and then search through iTunes library until you find the song. Double click the song and bingo you should now be able to transfer the music.
It took less time for me to finish by Business Degree, but its the only way I found to get around all the authorisation problems
Hope this helps

Ipod won't sync all my songs?

I have a 160g ipod classic, and I previously had a 80g classic, which synced all my music. However, this new one will not. It looks like the biggest problem is with songs that are in multiple playlists. So, song a will be in playlist 1 and 2 on itunes but when I sync my ipod, it will only be on playlist 2. I've tried resyncing my ipod and resetting it and so far, neither have brough about the desired results.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

I beleive that your iPod got stuck during the update. Can you do a Restore and try again?
Open the iPod updater, plug your iPod with your Mac and click Restore.
If it does not work, you may need to open the disk utility, go to Tab "ERASE" and click Erase, then follow by a Restore

My Older IPod won't sync all of sudden.. gives error message

My Ipod used to sync just fine, but I hadn't used it for a few weeks and when I went to sync, it wouldn't. I've made sure that all the software was updated and even reset my Ipod so it was just like when I bought it. It started to sync but would only sync 1700 of my 7000 soungs... each time I plug it in, it says its syncing, it will only sync about 50 songs before I get an error message that says.. The IPod "Solymar IPod" cannot be synced. A duplicate file name specified. and then another error message that says... Attempting to copy to the disk "Solymars I" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69). It also says that there are 2 Devices plugged, my IPod and IPad, but my IPad isn't plugged in. HELP!!! And thank you!!

Hey solymarmarengo,
Thanks for the question. The following resource lists your error message as a symptom of issues with third-party plug-ins, it may provide a resolution:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
There are several ways an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- You see this alert while syncing: "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
Thanks,

160 GB iPod Won't Sync All Songs From iTunes

I have a 160 GB iPod and barring the normal song-skipping issues everyone seems to have, I've had no problems out of it. That is until a couple of days ago. I would attempt to listen to a song and it would skip to the next one during the middle of it. It would run sluggishly, skip nearly every song, and at times, freeze. So I decided to exercise the restore option. After that, when I tried to sync it to my library, it only synced 330 (out of 14,000 plus)songs, all of them artists starting with A. I've tried rebooting and restoring the iPod to no avail. I even did a system restore for my entire computer. Nothing works; it insists on giving me only a fraction of my music library. Any suggestions?

*Hard Drive Diagnostics*
Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
Retracts: 889
Reallocs: 12
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 2202
Start/Stops: 894
Temp: Current 24c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50c
Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
*Reallocated Sectors Count*
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
*Pending sector count*
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

My IPod won't sync all the songs

Yes, yes. We've all heard this before. But this is different. I'll connect my Click Whell 20G iPod to my computer, and it starts syncing the songs. But then when it gets to the last couple of songs, it stops. It says "copying 499 of 500" but nothing happens. Then, when I try to eject the iPod, iTunes freezes up and I have to Force Quit. Then my iPod freezes on the "Do Not Disconnect" sign and I reset it. Then it turns back on, only to show the names of all my playlists, but no songs. No songs at all on the iPod.

The automatic sync will only put on certain files, and if I manually try to put on any other files, itunes will stop working and shut down. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and restoring my ipod and nothing has worked. help please!

Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1. Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos." In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want. I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not. Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync. Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected. My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1. Please help - thank you!

Providing the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer and you do not have any Restrictions set that wold prevent syncing those songs (Settings>General>Restrictions; iTunes purchases only)
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

New computer, ipod won't sync

My old iBook's hard drive had some water damage, so I got a new MacBook. But now my ipod won't sync with my new computer unless I erase what I already have on my ipod. How do I get all my non-purchases off my ipod before reformatting to my new computer?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content 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 music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
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 at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
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. I would , relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Won't sync all music

My Nano won't sync all the music in my library. I get an error message saying the songs cannot be found, but they are all listed in my playlists. There are 100 songs that won't sync. I had to move my Ipod from my laptop to my desk top.

OK after a long night I think I have answered my own question. I hope this helps others who may have experienced the same level of frustration I have.

My iPod doesn't sync all my music! HELP! :(

Hello there! I happen to be having a couple of troubles with my iPod classic lately. The last one and the most miserable one is that last night when I added three new albums on my iTunes Library and then synced my iPod to copy them on it, I noticed that all my music has been reduced from 54gb to 19 gb!! I was and still am in schock because I dunno what happened! I've done like I usually do and got no error during the syncing process. I still have 54gb of music on my pc and iTunes even now, but my iPod won't sync for more than 2 minutes so it can't copy all the music on it.
I gotta mention that my iTunes is up to date, I've got a new perfectly working computer and my iPod is also pretty new (bought it earlier this year).
PLEASE HELP ME FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS!!
P.S I'm going on a long enough road trip next week so my iPod breaking down right now is a complete nightmare
THANKS!

My Suggestions, when syncing an iPod Classic on a Windows machine.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Disconnect all other USB Devices
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC. (if you are using a Desktop PC)
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem. (if you have more than a few GB of Others)
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your iPod.
Good Luck!
