Ipod wont fully sync

sorry i am posting this twice, i didnt realized i posted it in the windows section, sorry once again i am new to this..
So! i have a 5th generation 30GB ipod, and i have had no problems syncing it until this past week. When i plug my iPod in and click Sync iPod it starts to sync then it just stops and doesn't say sync complete, nor does it put any of my new stuff on my iPod.
i don't know what's causing this, however about a week ago i had to reinstall the installation discs on my macbook so the program DVD player would work, and since then i have noticed i've been having problems with itunes itself saying "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. (-42404)" could this be why my iPod wont fully sync? please help!!
so far the only thing i've tried doing is resetting my iPod and macbook several times. and ive searched all over the web for an answer and cant find anything..
any suggestions are appreciated! thank you! (:

Im also beginning to have similar problems with my 5th gen 30GB ipod! I hadnt had any problems with my secondhand ipod until last week when i purchased a song from itunes and it wouldnt sync! I reported an issue to itunes but it ended up syncing and fixing itself, or so i thought. recently i tried to add a CD to my ipod and only half the songs would sync. Now, anytime i try to add a song, purchased or from a CD, it begins to sync and then stops midway or doesnt sync at all. At first it would just not sync and then be over with, but now when i try to sync a song an error pops up saying "The ipod (name of ipod) cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." I tried updating my ipod software, and resetting and nothing changed.

Ipod wont stop syncing/downloading

HI, I'm hoping somneone can help me with this.
Basically after i downloaded one of the ipod updates I found that the litttle sign in the top left corner that means downloading or sycning (at least i think it does) is always there and it says "Do not disconnect", I tried restoring my Ipod, but that didn't work.
I'm manually managing my music, but I don't have anything set to sync.
It does this everytime I connect my Ipod via usb to anything. My parents reciently bought a new stereo system with a USB input for MP3 players, and it even does it on that, which I thought was unusual.
If any one has any suggestions on how to fix this problem I'd greatly appriciate it.

guys any help?

Ipod wont manually sync or play music?

My son's Ipod nano recently stopped working like it should; it has stopped letting us manually drag music/videos on to the ipod or even letting us play music from the ipod through the computer. The manual sync option is turned on, but we cant manually manage the music, except by syncing/re-syncing everything which deletes everything and replaces it with the itunes library (which has extraneous songs on it). We have restored the Ipod to factory settings 2 times now and it hasnt helped at all. If anyone has a helpful suggestion it would be greatly appreciated.! P.S- The ipod has been tried with three different computers with no luck.

I can't help you on this but I could give you help. If you have a apple store close by you sould make a aponitment on the apple stores website this is how 1. Type in the location and apple store (exzmple:Apple Store Pacific Centre) 2. Go to genius do not say member it means you work at apple go on guest and follow the enstroctions. If you don't seach apple's suport page.
I hope this works good luck!!

My Ipod wont sync with my new library and I dont know why not. It will show that it is connected through home sharing, but it is only avalible when i am with my laptop! I dont know how to get this current library as mine on my ipod, help!

My ipod will not sync with my laptop. I have had previous Ipods in the past, but since then I have grown out of most of my music. Also about a year and a half ago I got a new laptop. I used the same Itunes name, but now on my new Ipod it has all of my old music and it refuses to download any of my new music. When I am using home sharing though, it says that I can turn on my "Library" but that my "music" is what is perminately on the computer. This only works though if I am near my laptop. When I try to transfer my library onto my ipod it wont let me. My music on my ipod is completely different than my normal itunes library on my computer and I have no idea how to transfer it. When I plug it in, it wont sync at all, or show that there is any device even plugged in. I am frustrated and tired of not having any of my music, so someone please help!!!

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?

Fully synced iTunes and iPod show different quantity of songs

Here's an odd little one that I hope somebody may be able to help with. iTunes and my 80Gb iPod Classic are fully synced (I've just synced them again to be sure), but while the Music tab on iTunes is showing that I have 2766 songs, on the iPod it only shows that 2740 are there.
I'm wondering where the other 26 songs are on the iPod, when both are fully synced. I must admit I haven't gone through every single song on both of them to try and find where the 'missing' 26 are.
Can anyone tell me if this is a known issue of the iPod counter simply being wrong? Or are there really 26 songs whach have, for some unknown reason, not synced to my iPod?

How many music videos do you have? When I first got my iPod I had this same problem and it turned out that the music videos showed up under the music tab. When I'd check the music count on my iPod it was less by exactly the number of music videos I had. The music videos on the iPod were in the Video section.

Ipod wont sync videos

my 30 gig video wont sync any of my videos.
when i try to apply the changes, itunes says that my ipod is done syncing, so i unplug it and check to see if my videos are there, and they never are...
any suggestions?

I am having a similar issue. But mine is more specific. All my videos are syncing except for a certain group. I recently purchased Lost: Season 3 on iTunes. Every time a new episode is released, I download it into my library. Itunes shows that I have all of the episodes currently released. However, when I sync my iPod, only the most recent episode shows up on the iPod. Why can't I sync all of the episodes in my library to my iPod?
