ITunes does not sync my iPod?

Hello. Tonight I plugged my iPod nano into my laptop and waiting for my iPod to sync in my iTunes library, but my iTunes library never opened up and my iPod did not display the "syncing" dialogue on the screen.
Is there anything I can do to fix this so I can sync my iPod? I last synced it about a week ago and am not sure why it isn't working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Jackie
(p.s. I also posted this question in the iTunes category as well because I wasn't sure which it fit best into).

I am having the same issue,
But I have found a temporary fix.
When your iPod shows up in iTunes, but doesn't sync, you press the "restore" button.
The dialog will pop up, asking if you really want to restore your iPod, But dont press anything. If you look in the background of the dialog, iTunes is syncing your iPod with your library.
It gets annoying though when you have to do that to sync your iPod successfully.
Does anyone know the fix to this problem?

  • Adding CD music to Itunes - does not sync to ipod touch 5 gen

    Windows 7PC. Easy to add the music from a CD to Itunes.
    But, then when I sync itunes to Ipod, music does not export to Ipod.
    Must be a setting that is not right?
    Have to reload them all again?

    "Across the top, there is Summary, Apps, MUSIC- Click on Music"
       Yes, those are the sync settings that I referred to in my answer.
    "Make sure the (check mark) is sync music, click on entire music library"
       This option works fine for small music libraries. When it gets bigger, it won't fit on the iPhone. At that point simply switch to more selective syncing.

    I've called the Apple helpline. The only way to organise music on the iPod classic, is to use playlists. They themselves can be organised in playlist folders.

  • Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

    Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
    The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

  • My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden

    Hello, My iTunes does not recognize my iPod all of a sudden.  Today before I went running I downloaded some new podcasts to listen to.  I plugged in my iPod and for some reason iTunes could not recognize my iPod nano.  I run iTunes on Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro and have successfully synced my iPod before with this system.  I do not know why it doesn't work now.
    Per the instructions on Apple Help, I went through the troubleshoot steps (i.e., restarting iTunes, restarting my computer, updating iTunes, etc.).  When all that failed, I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but this still does not work.
    I cannot afford to purchase help through Apple, but I like running and I like listening to new stuff when I run.  Can someone please help me on this board?  I am pretty good with walking myself through simple computer steps.
    Thank you in advance!

    Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
    Putting iPod into disk mode.
    Still no joy, see this.

  • Itunes does not sync itouch

    ipod touch does not sync when plugged into computer.  It charges but does not sync

    If you mean that iTunes does not see the iPod, start here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Otherwise, provide more information about what happens when you try to sync.

    Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
    I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
    If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
    Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.

  • My problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

    my problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

    I had a similar issue and I was told that my iTunes match was on.
    I had to disable iTunes match on my iPhone.
    Following which - after you plugged in your iPhone to iTunes, select your iPhone on iTunes menu. You should see a summary page of your iPhone where it provides options to update or restore. On the bottom there should be an option to select "sync only selected music/playlists". I can't remember the exact wording. Once that's been checked, select your iPhone's music tab and it should allow you to select the music playlists you want to sync.
