ITunes 10 is horrible at syncing...

I wish Apple would be more thorough before releasing a new version of iTunes instead of seemingly forcing a new version out haphazzardly. I've not had a new version NOT have a problem initially.
Right now, only about half of my new downloads sync to my iPod on the first try. Yes, after I re-sync it a second time, everything seems to copy over ok, but come on.

Yes. I'm facing the same issue where I'll star a song and then two days later it plays again and at that time it's no longer rated. Not happening to all songs, but a good enough number of them where I'm getting quite frustrated. However I'm not getting the bug where a song repeats several times in a row.

What happens when you try to sync?
Does other media sync to the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

When I turn my computer on I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. I think this has something to do with Apple "push". I had a problem with this in iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touc

When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message?

Itunes 11.1.3.8 sync problems with iphone 5 - help?

I have an iPhone 5 and I am using itunes 11.1.3.8.
I noticed that a few CDs I recently imported were not syncing onto my iphone. After a few tries at syncing, I noticed that under the 'On this iPhone' section the songs from these CDs were listed but were faded and had grey dotted circles next to them. A few more syncs later and now pretty much all my music content has disappeared from my iPhone. Every single song that I had before is still in my music folder on the iphone, but if you try to play any they just fade and come up with a red download circle and a stop button and the player skips through load of songs until it get to one that is still saved on my iphone. I had about 1100 songs before and although all of them are still in my music folder, the only ones still working are about 40 that are in a playlist I created and a few videos and songs that I never had on my iphone before because they were unticked in my itunes library but have suddenly synced onto my iphone. I had about 3gb free space before, when I sync it lists correctly how much should be there, but then it does a very quick sync and goes to having 7.5gb free. Incidentally, even though only 40 of the 1100 songs are working, in settings it says there are about 840 songs on my iphone. Even though the music has been the only real thing affected, the data on one of my apps has completely disappeared.
I have scoured the internet and nothing seems to help. I have tried to deselect all my music so it is all removed from my iphone but when I sync it just goes back to the same thing. I can't restore it to a previous backup because the only backups remaining are ones after this occurred. I have tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. I have tried reinstalling itunes. I have deleted itunes and reinstalled it again. I have signed out of my itunes store account. I have tried manually selecting songs but it wont allow me. I have tried unselecting the tick box saying 'only sync songs ticked'. I have deleted all my temporary files on my computer and cleaned out the registry. I have turned my computer off and on.
I have a feeling it may be somethign dodgy with itunes 11.1.3.8. I only downloaded this update within the last two weeks. It synced once before and synced earlier on today without these problems occuring apart from the recent CD imports syncing. The only difference today is that I added a £15 gift voucher to my itunes account and bought a song. When I bought the song, I did so through a cashback website. When I clicked through from the cashback website, itunes wa already open, and it seemed to refresh when I did this. Incidentally, this song is one of the few still in my iphone and working.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Thanks, I read the info, but it does not mention the IOS version.
Are you using yourself this combo of software?
Background: In The Netherlands I am getting the info on an Apple User group that there would be no iTunes Sync possiblity anymore with the intro of IOS7, which I cannot imagine, or at least don't hope so. They say that IOS7 does not have those sync possibilities anymore, so I would be forced to use iCloud.

I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not worked

I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now showing on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not able to show any more.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to rectify the situation as I have tried every help setting for the last 4 hours.

I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

ITunes will not let me sync my iPad 2...

iTunes will not let me sync my 8 month old, previously synced iPad 2. It is no longer recognized over Wi-Fi and when i plug it in via USB I am given the 'Set Up Your iPad' screen. I have tried restoring from a backup, and that successfully restores my iPad but iTunes still will not recognize this. My only options remain 'setup as a new iPad' or 'Restore from the backup...'
Any ideas what I should do? I have tried both soft and hard reboots, closed/reopened itunes, rebooted my MacBook...nothing has worked. Should I suck it up and try resetting to the factory settings? Or does this sound more like an issue with the iPad?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - Thanks

ISSURE RESOLVED - there was an interupted/corrupt backup of this device that had to be deleted. After deleting this backup file, iPad was recognized without issue...only wish is hadnt tried 'restoring from backup' first since my settings were reverted to that previous date once issue was resolved.

My phone is not showing up in itunes. I want to sync it. I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes. What do I do now? It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac. Help!

With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up. If not, you are having a sync problem. If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

I have a 2nd gen shuffle. i had to get a new computer and downloaded V11. my itunes works but i CANNOT sync to my shuffle. any ideas????

i have a 2nd gen shuffle. i had to get a new computer and downloaded V11. my itunes works but i CANNOT sync to my shuffle. any ideas????

The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar by default. To show the sidebar, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the sidebar visible on the left side of the iTunes window, when you connect the shuffle, does it appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
Since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, are you using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle, with the mini-dock at the shuffle end? A USB cable that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle will not work; the connector is different.
