IPod Won't Update with New Playlists and Audio Only

My iPod will not update new playlists that have been created or add any audio files from iTunes. Videos come over just fine. Powerbook 12" G4 with 10.4.4, iTunes 6.0.2. Latest iPod software, 0106, deleted the old iPod updates. Also, did a hard reset on the iPod.
Under my administrator test login, playlists and songs come over fine, but I can't seem to get it to work in my regular account. Any idea what do do without reformatting my hard drive and reloading software?

I also just started having this trouble on my 6 month old nano. I have it set to automatically update selected playlists only. I update the songs in those playlists in itunes, then I connect my ipod to my PC. The ipod and itunes say it is updating, but when done the same old songs are on the playlists in the ipod. Itunes does show the correct playlists with the update songs, they just don't seem be updating on the ipod, even though there seems to be a good connection and the ipod says it is updating when plugged into the PC. Any thoughts?

Does iTunes Connect Christmas break mean apps won't update with new folios over Christmas?

I have 2 folios that are due to be released to my app this Christmas - both fall within the 22nd-29th window iTunes have chosen to close down.
So even though I can publish my folios through DPS over Christmas and pre-plan my app description in iTunes accordingly - before the 22nd - will those published folios not appear in my app?
Thanks.

You mean updating a paid folio... don't know if that needs approving, too.
Maybe someone else can chime in here (I have no exp in that)

IPhone 4 - tried updating with new software and now it's asking me to plug it to iTunes. The problem is that my laptop is dead. Is there anything I can do now? Thank you for help!

I Don't know if I can turn it of or do I just leave it and take it to service?
I'd appreciate some advice!

Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

please help me

Hi I had the same problem with my last ipod. i tried all of the steps on the apple support site but none of them worked. I decided to send my ipod in for a repair. Anyway when a week later my ipod came back it was fixed but when i loaded up the computer the disk locked again. I followed through the instructions which said to download the newest software. So i downloaded the new software again and this still didnt work. The last thing i tried to do was to use an old version of an updater so i used (ipod updater 2004-11-15) this ran through the restore process and after completing this, the menu on the ipod loaded up. I then connected to itunes and it allowed it to communicate and transfer the songs
It worked for me i hope it works for you.
Best of luck

5th Gen iPod won't sync using new iTunes and new Firmware

I updated the iTunes software and firmware for my iPod, and I was excited about how cool it looked. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It synchronized once. Since then, it hasn't worked. iTunes just freezes up and the "Do Not Disconnect Screen" never goes away. It will just sit there for hours doing nothing and telling me that it is updating, when it fact it is doing nothing. I have even gone through all of the steps of reseting, re-installing, and reformatting it. It still won't sync, but now I have the pleasure of having a 6-month old 60 gig blank hard drive. Has anyone else experienced syncing problems? Any ideas on how I can get this to work again?

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 update on new computer!! please helppp

well i recently got a new computer and decided to move all the songs form the old computer over so i did. now i need to update my ipod and for some reason when the ipod is connected it seems to work .. but then the problem comes it says updating ipod do not disconnect and about 5 second later its already done updating except the ipod did not get updated and still has the old songs i had on it.. can anyone tell me how i can solve this problem? thanks

Try moving all of your files out of the main folder they're in... then dragging them into the iTunes library in iTunes itself.
Then when its done processing them all, try updating again.
they have to be in the library and (prolly) CHECKED for iTunes to sync them.

Old Mac Ipod won't sync with new Macbook (help!)

Ok so this is probably something really easy but I can't for the life of me get it to work.
I got a new Macbook Pro recently and have been building up a new library with my older songs and newer ones I've acquired since the purchase. My problem is when I go to sync my Ipod to the new Mac my ipod automatically goes to the "ok to disconnect" screen without syncing anything. I pressed "sync" and "transfer purchases" and it still goes into disconnect mode, very quickly too.
Its almost as if the ipod is protecting itself and dosen't want to sync to the new Mac for that reason, but that's what I need it to do. Its a 'Mac to Mac' move so its not like I'm putting a Mac ipod into a Windows computer
What do I have to do, or how do I get to a setting that would let my ipod sync successfully on this new laptop? If anybody could help it would totally save the day.
The ipod is an iPod classic 2008-09 120gb

Hey Ginger795
You would have to tell it to erase and sync the iPod. With a new library you will want to sync exclusively or set up “Manually manage music” on the iPod to make it work properly

IPod won't work with new computer - please help

When I bought my iPod, I had it hooked up with Computer #1. That went with my ex-husband in the divorce, so I no longer have that computer.
I now have my parents' old computer, Computer #2. My dad has an iPod that was originally used with this computer, but none of his songs or libraries are on Computer #2 anymore. The iTunes library is totally empty. I tried hooking up my iPod, and it said that my iPod was already associated with another computer. So I authorized Computer #2 to play my iPod songs, and that didn't work either. I cannot deauthorize computer #1 since I don't have it anymore. ITunes would not let me deauthorize both computers, like it said you could do once a year.
I am at a loss for what to do. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem!! I had my library on a computer on XP and now I have Vista and don't know how to transfer my Vista. If anyone can help please let me know!!!!!!

IPod won't update due to playlist error

I've got the 20 Gig scroll wheel iPod that has worked perfectly in the past. I recently updated to the newest iPod software and I'm running the newest version of iTunes.
About a week ago, after updating to the newest version of iTunes, iTunes came up with a message about how I had too much music on my iPod and that it couldn't update the entire song library, and instead offered me the choice of making a "Smart Playlist" to update instead of updating the entire library. I've since pared down my library, and now when I try to update my iPod, it has an error that says the playlists that are supposed to be updated no longer exist. What's worse, every time I change the option from "Update Selected Playlists" to "Update Entire Library" it will neither update nor will it save that configuration.
Any help?

Anne,

"Browse File/Music" won't update with new songs?

Anytime I go into my blog and attempt to upload a song I have, I click "browse" and then select Music from the files list. Everything is all up-to-date EXCEPT the music section. It hasn't updated for a long time, I've restarted, updated software, ect.
Any suggestions?

I also just started having this trouble on my 6 month old nano. I have it set to automatically update selected playlists only. I update the songs in those playlists in itunes, then I connect my ipod to my PC. The ipod and itunes say it is updating, but when done the same old songs are on the playlists in the ipod.

IPod won't connect with new version of iTunes

After I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, my device wouldn't connect to my computer. After extensive troubleshooting, I have found that my iPod does not respond to the latest version of iTunes. When I un-install iTunes, my iPod connects. When I try re-installing, it will disconnect. I downloaded an older version of iTunes, and it stayed connected. However, when I went to open iTunes, a pop-up came up and said it couldn't open because my library was updated by a newer version. So, I'm at a loss of what to do. Someone please help! Thanks in advance!

Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?
