ITunes freeze's when trying to sync my iPod nano (1st gen).

Hello.
I can't update my iPod, because iTunes freeze's when i try so. I can't restore my iPod, because no button names that is appearing. I can't update it either, so donøt know what to do. I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it didn't help.
I've been thinking about, reinstalling iTunes, but what will happen with all the music then? I've used tons of hours on getting it on my computer, so don't want it to get lost. What will happen with the music if i reinstall?
Thanks in advance, 0eyvind

The music files should stay right where they are, in the music folder.
Reinstalling iTunes will change stuff in the c:Program Files folder.
That being said, it's always a good idea to have backups in case something goes wrong. You do have backups, right?
Also - before every itunes upgrade, you chould also back up the library ITL file which holds all your playcounts, ratings, etc.
I back mine up on a USB stick, or you could just put it in another folder on your hard drive.

Hello clarikr,

Am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen. i get this message: not enough access privileges."

i am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen with my music on the cloud, via a desktop PC.
I have successfully done this in the past.
now I am getting a series of messages: "not enough access privileges"
have reset the nano and also downloaded latest iTunes software.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm having a very similar problem, so I was excited to see the link above. But when I click on it, it redirects me to the nike.com main website (I'm assuming Nike redid their website since the above link was posted). Could you please point me to that article somewhere else or tell me how you fixed your problem?
My exact problem is this: I was running until recently with my iPod Nano 6th gen and the Nike+ sensor kit (sensor that goes in the Nike+ shoe plus receiver that goes in the iPod Nano). When I would sync my Nano with iTunes (I would have the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option checked), all was well with this set-up as far as syncing my stuff to the Nike+ website goes.
I recently realized that for the iPod Nano 6th generation, the sensor/receiver combo is not required anymore. So I ran two runs without the receiver. I kept the sensor in the shoe though as nowadays I mostly run with my recently purchased Nike+ Sport GPS watch and I like to have the sensor in the shoe in case the GPS signal gets lost at some point during a run. Anyway, those two runs that I ran without the receiver won't sync to my nikeplus account. I can see them in my iPod Nano's history and I can see one of them (the latest one) on the Nike + iPod tab of iTunes when I sync my Nano. The difference though is that on iTunes this latest run appears under a "Sensor 1" selection, whereas all my previous runs with both the sensor and receiver would be under "Nike + Sensor" selection. Within the "Nike + Sensor" selection, under nikeplus.com, there's the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option and below it a Login ID that shows my Nike+ website log-in info. Within the "Sensor 1" selection, the Login ID is missing. I've tried renaming "Sensor 1" to something else but it didn't make the Login ID appear.
Thank you for reading this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Dimitris.

ITunes quits unexpectedly when trying to sync my iPod classic

I have been trying to sync my iPod with iTunes and I keep getting the message "The application iTunes quit unexpectedly". I can relaunch, report or ignore. If I relaunch, it just quits again. I recently purchased an iPhone and I have been syncing it and have not synced the iPod since I got the iPhone. Now when I try, I get this message. I can sync the iPhone with no problem but as soon as I plug in the iPod, iTunes quits.
I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, to no avail. I am not sure what else to do. I would restore the iPod, but iTunes quits before I can. I do not want to lose my entire music library so I don't want to do anything drastic. I also want to be able to sync my iPod.
Does anyone know what I can do? Also, I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8. Should I update?

I don't really have anything else running and it works when I sync my iPhone, so I doubt it is the RAM. My computer is less than a year old, so I don't think it is that either. It is like it doesn't 'like' the iPod since I got the iPhone. I know that sounds crazy, but it worked fine prior to getting the iPhone, but now, since I have the iPhone, it doesn't want to 'play' with the iPod.

Downloaded Game Not Found When Trying To Sync To iPod Nano

I just bought a game for my daughter in the iTunes store. I watched it download. It is there in iTunes under the Games tab. But when I try to sync it to her iPod it says iTunes cannot find the game. Anybody had this problem?
Also I was going to reset her iPod but I would've lost her entire library which we painstakingly put together for her. I couldn't figure out how to copy the contents into a playlist so I could just drag it back on after I reset it. Anybody know how to do that? It's an iPod Nano, 4th gen.

I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong? I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!

== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.

If the file was not originally from iTunes, you'll need to redownload it from it's original source or rerip it from the CD. Files can sometimes go bad and become corrupted. As to how or why that happens, there are a number of ways.
What format are the problematic tracks in? Have you tried converting them to another format in iTunes?

Trying to sync my iPod Nano (8Gb) When I toggle the "iPod sync" tab I do not get the "apply" button. Why?

Trying to sync my iPod nano (6Gb) for the first time to my laptop (Windows 7). When I toggle the "iPod sync" button I do not get the "apply" button to start the sync. Why?

I have a 27" iMac with the latest version of iTunes. I tried restoring my iPod and even removing and re-installing iTunes. What eventually worked for me was plugging into my PC and restoring/reformatting it to work with my PC. I don't know why it wouldn't work with my iMac, but now it seems to be working.

When trying to sync my ipod it states "disc cannot be found"

i also tried syncing my itouch, and itunes doesn't seem to be recognizing it.

I would first try uninstalling reinstalling the Apple software:

If still problems try:
