Itunes fails to update songs in my ipod when syncing.

What can I do? This is really frustrating, because sometimes it works and then when I get almost to the end of filling up my device, everything freezes and stops syncing.
I have a real nice Acer ultrabook with windows 8.1 64 bit, it runs really good with pretty much everything, no problems whatsoever.
I also have the latest version of Itunes with almost 80 gb of music transfered from my old laptop. The thing is, when I plug in my ipod classic 160 gb, everything seems fine, the program runs good, and when I try to grab and release an album or artist, it all gets slow and the syncing process never ends. Earlier today I tried restoring my ipod, and everything ran pretty good until I got to artists with letter "Q" when it froze and till now cant get those last gigs into my device.
If anyone knows how could I fix this, I would be endlessly grateful to you.
Thanks for listening.

I have this problem since IOS 7

  • Deletes songs purchased on iPod when syncing.  Help!

    So every time I purchase songs from my iPod and then sync it to my computer, it deletes them from my iPod. Once and only once when I synced my iPod, it transferred the one purchased song I had to my mac. But every other time I have songs purchased on my iPod on wifi somewhere and I sync to my computer it deletes the songs resulting in a GIANT waste of money! Can anyone tell me why it does this? Or how to stop it? Thanks!

    If you are using the same iTunes account on both your Mac and your iPod, try using iTunes on your computer and check to see if you can download any purchases from your account on to your computer. Then transfer them onto your iPod like you would transfer any other song.

  • Help Me! iTunes Screwed Up 1500 songs on my iPod When I Updated

    Hope someone out there can help me. My son updated the iTunes software on our PC (Windows XP Media) as recommended, and now whenever you click on a song imprted from a CD, you get a message that iTunes cannot locate the file. We're talking more than 1,500 songs and a great deal of work.
    Any miracle workers out there who can tell me if I can do anything to make the 1,500 songs work again? All of the information is still in the listings. It's just that iTunes can't locate the files now.
    Help me, and I'll be forever grateful.
    Is it just me, or is the iPod the biggest piece of trash ever foisted on the buying public?
    If you like, email me at [email protected]
    thanks for your help and suggestions.

    Hello Rachyl,
    O dear, I was hoping to have that question answered for me, as I have had a similar problem with I Tunes. I down loaded an iTunes update so I could take the pod cast from our local radio station, ABC radio, Melbourne Australia, which is up and running and working fine.
    When trying to play the music I have in iTunes a pop up menu tells me the original file could not be found, do I want to locate it, pressing the yes button takes me back to the iTunes listing which still does not change anything.
    I have been to the iTunes task bar, I have a choice of New folder, or add to the library. Could you please walk me through the instructions clearly, I have limited knowledge of computers.
    Thank you. Bella

  • How do I set iTunes to manually update songs without connecting iPod first?

    Hi. I just got a new computer and downloaded iTunes. The User Guide says that when you connect the iPod, iTunes automatically updates all songs in your iTunes and deletes songs that are not in iTunes. As far as I can see by reading the User's Guide, iPod has to be connected to change the setting to "manual update". I already have an iPod with songs in it that are not on the iTunes that I just downloaded. I'm afraid that if I connect my iPod, it will erase the songs already in my iPod because of the default "automatic update" setting. Does anyone know how I can change the setting to "manual update" BEFORE I connect the iPod to the computer?
    Thanks for your help!

    there are some other ways, please read if you are interested

  • Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
    Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
    This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
    You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

  • My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold.

    My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold. What is the best way for me to choose what actually goes on the ipod?

    Or, when you are synching choose the songs you want on the IPod by checking them in the library, then tell it to only synch checked items.
    To be honest, the 'smart playlist' is probably a simpler way though. Go to playlists, click 'create new smart playlist' and choose your parameters from there. As you add new music to the library the playlist will update itself.

  • "Update Songs on'my ipod'"

    I chose "update songs on 'my ipod'" and it erased all the songs I had on my ipod and copied the limited amount of songs I had in my library on that computer. What gives? I am not happy about this. Is there any way to get them back on my ipod? there were songs on the ipod that I didn't have on my computer.
    What the ****?
    Thanks for your help,
    Jay

    By selecting that option you automatically synced your iPod with your iTunes library.
    The songs on your iPod will have been erased and replaced with the contents of the iTunes library you just synced with.
    That's the way auto sync works. Unless you have a back up someplace, the songs on your iPod are gone.

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
    The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

  • HT1459 My Itunes library has 700 songs.  The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB.  How many songs will that hold aproximately.

    My Itunes library has 700 songs.  The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB.  How many songs can I get on the Shuffle...aproximately?

    To see the exact size of your library, simply look at the status bar at the bottom.  If you don't have a status bar, enable by going to View > Show Status Bar.
    If you want to fit more on the iPod, use the capability to "Convert higher bit rate songs..." as shown below.  If you set this to 128, you can fit around 500 4-minute songs in 2GB.

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

  • Itunes could not copy 'song' to the ipod 'name ipod' because of an unknown error occurred (-5000)

    Itunes could not copy 'song' to the ipod 'name ipod' because of an unknown error occurred (-5000)

    This problem does seem pretty random, affecting just a small number of tracks. Apparently it is due to some file corruption or something... Anyway, this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2654317?start=15&tstart=0 has a couple of solutions spelled out. Basically the same thing that a-monk-at-large suggested above. (Delete and redownload the offending tracks.)

  • Is it possible for apple to make itunes able to recieve songs from the ipod

    Is it possible for apple to make itunes able to recieve songs from the ipod because the ipos photo can send photos to the computer is it possible to send songs

    "Is it possible for apple to make itunes able to recieve songs from the ipod'
    Apple have designed the iPod deliberately so that the transfer of music is by default one way from iTunes to iPod. The most likely reason is to discourage the use of the iPod for widespread music file sharing. This is a logical step for such a high profile company to take in the current environment. It's especially relevant considering that Apple has to work closely with the music companies to maintain the iTunes Music Store.
