Ipod wont update from itunes

my ipod was not updating with new songs i had downloaded. it would just say ipod updated and nothing happened. so i wiped it clean using the restore function to start from scratch and i am getting the same situation. it won't update any songs now and just says ipod updated. not sure what to do. anyone have any advice?

Hello,
Go to "Edit> preferences> iPod" and set your option for "manual".
Now, go to your iTunes library, and select what songs you want to put on your iPod, then drag-and-drop them into the name of your iPod in the left source area in iTunes.
You may want to simply manually manage your music like this, dragging the songs from the library, and simply dropping them to your iPod. This might avoid the kind of issues you were having.

  • Ipod wont Update in Itunes. HELP!!!!!!

    Heya guys. After installing Itune 6.0, I seem to be having problems with my Itunes recognizing my Ipod. Its plugged in and charging on a USB 2.0 cable, but when I use Itunes, I cant seem to have Itunes even recognize that my Ipod is plugged in and charging. It wont update it for me. Everything else seems to work fine, I can download podcasts just fine and go into the music store.
    Could it be that I need a USB cable? Before I would get a message saying something like the cable wasnt fast enough, but I didnt have trouble with it then.
    This is my computer that Im trying to get my Ipod to update on Itunes. I have tried to reinstall Itunes, but have trouble there.
    When I go into Itunes, I press the Edit Tab, then preference, then Ipod tab. It says then it isnt connected. But if it isnt connected, then how come it shows on my Ipod that it is charging?
    From what I've been reading, Itunes 6.0 is causing alot of grief. Im sorry if this is long-winded but I hope that I gave some details that would help. Thank you if you can be of anyhelp.

  • Ipod incorrect update from itunes

    I recently connected my 30GB Ipod Video to my laptop running Windows XP Pro. Once connected itunes said it needed an update once updated it doesn't work now. On the screen of the ipod whilst disconnecte4d it says to connect to itunes and reformat it. Also trying to access it through My computer when its in disk mode or normal mode it says it isn't formatted and asks if i want to e format it. I don't want to format it because there are files on iot that i would like to retrieve, is there anyway of retrieving these files? Also has anyone else had this problem?

    One major thing i forgot to mention was that itunes didn't recognise my ipod as a 5th gen and updated it for another ipod, thats why this topic was called incorrect update from itunes.

  • Ipod wont update to itunes!! plz help

    hi all,
    okay, my ipod connects to itunes and starts charging, but it wont actually go into itunes, like in the sources list. So i just dont know what to do, becuase it connects with the do not disconnect thing like it usually does, but now it doesnt go into itunes in the source list, so i cant update the music on my ipod! is there anything i can do?!? Thanks!
    Chels'
        dont worry, be happy

    Also:
    If you don't have access to a computer
    If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

  • IPod Software updater in iTunes 7.0 wont Update my iPod

    Every time I try to update my iPod's software from 1.1 to 1.2 using the embedded updater in 7.0, I get a message saying that the update cant be completed because the iPod is in use by another program. I tried deselecting the Disk Use option but it's greyed out! I've also tried closing iTuneshelper.exe and iPodservice.exe - but no use- Please Help...

  • My ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    I recently went to: settings, general, reset, and erase all data and settings, now my ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    - After being connected to a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod and then connect to your computer and it if appears in iTunes restore the iPod via iTunes.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next see if recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:

  • How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes?

    How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes? I know there is a key press combo that will do it but I forget which keys. Anyone?
    Intel Piii   Windows XP Pro  

    Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Another Easier Alternative:
    While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
    Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.
