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?

  • After restoring iPod it stops syncing half way

    After restoring iPod, it stops syncing while it is downloading music with an error message "Attempting to copy to the disk. iPod failed. The disc could not be read from or written to".
    My music is less memory than what my iPod can hold.
    What's up with this?
    THX!

    It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. 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 wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough

    My ipod wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough

    To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
    If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
    Does the app/iPod meet this?

  • 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 CLASSIC STOPS SYNCING HALF WAY THROUGH

    my ipod classing stops syncing half way through and says could not be synced can anyone help me please?

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3784647?start=0&tstart=0
    If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.

  • Reformatted iPod Classic Stops Syncing in the Middle - Error Message

    So my iPod got corrupted. I clicked reformat in iTunes, it didn't work. I went to disk utility, repaired the disk, then went to iTunes, reformatted it again, and everything went well. BUT - then it started syncing all my music, and about halfway through I get an error message that says "the iPod couldn't be read or written to." This happens every time I reformat the iPod with iTunes now. What do I do? Any ideas?

    OK Here's how I ended up solving it, after reading the article above:
    My iPod always stopped syncing on that same song. So I just deleted it, and eveyrthing else went smoothly. Done. Go on your ipod, see where it stopped syncing your library, and delete the next song, that should work.

  • IPod Classic stopped sync with new iTunes

    Once iTunes went to version 11 my iPod Classic stopped syncing.  My iPod Touch will sync.  I prefer my Classic though.  It is recognized by iTunes, starts the first step of the sync process but that shuts down and doesn't sync.  It doesn't freeze my machine just won't launch the sync process.  My library is on my iPod from the last time it would sync, but anything I've bought since won't load to the device.  I ran the diagnostic and it fails at the end saying no device found, which is weird since it appears in my iTunes, tells me how much audio and files I have and reflects that I have 16GB available.  I've tried tons of the tips on here, changed settings, checked and unchecked all kinds of boxes, changed USB ports, etc., and nothing has worked.  Has anyone else had this issue since the v.11 series of iTunes came out?

  • Ipod has stopped syncing

    Hello
    My ipod has stopped syncing on a windows 7 machine.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  Under devices I can "traansfer purchases from ipod" but am not able to sync. When I run diagnostics from help it finds "no ipod" under device sync test. I ahve tried some of the other suggestions as well such as reinstalling drivers.   I have also reset ipod.  Please help!

    I to have this problem it took many attempts to sync my Ipod. I also think it is a problem with the previouse up date, I recived another yesterday and have yet to try again with the new update installed. I was thinking it was my firewire card, and was going to try the usb cable if it happened again.
    Well it all synced up ok this time via firewire, only 5 new tracks though BUT trying to copy contacts from out look now crashes itunes.
