IPod won't sync because of podcast

When syncing, iPod/iTunes is saying that it cannot load library because space is taken by podcast. However, no podcasts are selected or exist. Capacity shows "other" taking 80% of space but cannot find what is causing it. Was not an issue until recent sync/

I agree, time to restore that iPod.

5th Gen ipod won't sync a video podcast

I have a 80GB iPod, only a month and a half old, 5th Gen.
Thing is, I downloaded 5 video podcasts today, all from the same author.
One of these podcasts WILL sync onto my iPod, however the other four won't, saying that the video format isn't supported, when all five videos have the same format and type.
I have tried everything from renaming them to converting them and still nothing works.
Can anyone please help? :]

I am having the same problem. The difference is that mine was syncing and then suddenly it won't sync anymore. Hope someone answers your question.

Ipod won't sync because I have 10.2 (but I have 10.3!)

I try to install the update because after sync it says the ipod hasn't synced all the songs in itunes because "my software is too old". So I download the ipod updater and there is a red exclamation mark on the ipod in the update window and the dialogue box says 'this update requires Mac OS 10.2.8 or higher' Um, I have 10.3.9 for heaven's sake. Any suggestions folks?
Spencer

and there is a red exclamation mark on the ipod in the update window
You can't install the iPod updater directly onto the iPod. To install the iPod updater, click on your hard disk in the update window and proceed with the installation. When the installation is complete, open the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and then locate the iPod updater you installed. Double-click the updater and then either click the Update button, or click on the Options menu and choose Update iPod to continue the update.

I have recently purchased an iPhone 4 and synced it with my itunes library on my PC and then updated the software to 5.0. I already had an iPod touch (4th generation) and now when i try and sync it with the library it says "back-up corrupt or incompatable with iPod, please delete back-up and try again"...i followed the instructions and now have no back-up and it restored the original factory settings to the iPod. I am now trying to re-sync it to get my songs back and the same message is appearing. How do i back-up my iPod ??

the version of your ipod shouldnt stop it from syncing

My ipod won't sync because of "unknown error 13019" Help!!

What does unknown error 13019 mean?

Check out this Apple article -> iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
Try disabling automatic syncing of the iPod from iTunes preferences. Also, take a look at what's syncing to the iPod when you see the error and try to uncheck that to see if the error stops. There might be a bad file in that group of content.

My ipod won't sync any of the music i downloaded and says that iTunes can't backup the Ipod because a session couldn't be started with the Ipod how do i fix this

My ipod won't sync any thing in my iTunes library it always stop as soon as it starts backingup the Ipod a message appears that says iTunes cannot backup the Ipod "my Ipod" because a session couldn't be started withthe Ipod how do i fix this problem?
This is exactly what the message says: iTunes could not back up the iPod "austins ipod" because a session could not be started with the iPod.

Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software

Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
download iTunes again from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.

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!

My iPod won't sync! It says it could not sync because it could not recognize apps to sync. Please help

So my iPod won't sync! It says something along the lines of "could not recognize apps to sync". !!!!!! ***! Please help! I have the latest iOS

Hi i to have a ipod classic 160 gb
and recently cant sync any photos to it from mac , it to says missing file , it was ok january when i sync it then ,,

I have one of the original IPOD's and just tried adding a bunch of songs, (200) and now that they're on my computer my ipod won't sync as it now says i need about 8.45 more gb. any thoughts on this?

I have one of the oriignal IPOD's circo 2006. I've got about 150 tunes on it which has been fine but today tried to add another 200 or so and was advised I need about 848 MB to load them. Is there any solution. I have 2 playlists. One with the original 150 tunes and one with the addiitional 200 tunes. Thoughts as now my IPOD won't sync at all and I don't want to delete any of the songs if I don't have to.

How much storage on the IPOD - I have one that has 60GB on it. Also have an IPOD shuffle that held less songs.
As your IPOD does not have enough storage for all of your songs, you have to create a list to sync to it that does not exceed the storage size.
For instance my IPOD shuffle had its only list of songs that did not exceed storage.
The IPOD gets them all because I only loaded the songs from my CDs that I really liked into ITUNES - leaving out the ones I skipped over.

Songs on the iPod "(My Name)'s iPod" cannot be synced because . . .

Okay, so I downloaded a lot of t.v. shows and my ipod was too full. So itunes automatically did something I didn't quite understand (not surprising, I'm so new to Macs). iTunes made a playlist and all my songs went there and it deleted my t.v. shows from my iPod. Today I was trying to figure out how to get those shows back on my ipod. I was trying to erase stuff I didn't want to make space. I guess I erased the new playlist thing that iTunes automatically created. Or did something else weird in my attempt to make room for my shows on my ipod.
Now, when I try to sync it says: Songs on the iPod "(My Name)'s iPod" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist.
I looked for what I deleted in the trash but couldn't find it . . . probably because I don't know what I'm really looking for.
So now my ipod won't sync. And I'm still not sure how to make room for my t.v. shows on my ipod. And before I screwed up the syncing and looked up how to transfer only selected items I read something about a "Summary Tab" that I can't locate.
I'm really, really stupid when it comes to all this. Sorry. I need lots of help.

Yes, the TV files are the problem, the TV + music libraries exceed the capacity of the iPod, this is why iTunes made that playlist for you. All you will need to do is re-build a playlist or lists, say one music, one TV, with the content you want on your iPod. In your iPod preferences, & I believe it will be the summary tab, ( but I don't have my iPod docked right now), just tell iTunes to sync those 1 or 2 specific playlists to the iPod. This should fix you right up, but please post back if you have any questions.

Ipod won't sync b/c Itunes says my computer isn't authorized but it is

I built a new computer but Itunes hasn't recognized my Ipod (seperate issue)so right now I'm syncing it to a netbook connected to the same external hard drive I use with my main new computer with my music on the drive. I have authorised the computer to my account but some files (mostly videos) still won't sync because itunes thinks that the computer isn't authorized even though it is. How can I fix this?

I had that problem myself just last week, and this is what Apple told me to do. It worked for me.
Choose Start > Computer.
Choose Organize > Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
Click OK.
Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:
C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
Right-click the SC Info folder shown and from the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
Restart the computer.
Open iTunes.
Authorize your computer to play your purchases.

My iPod won't sync; how do I fix this?

My iPod won't sync any of my music. It says there is a disk error. Is this a hardware issue or something else? What should I do?
