Itunes library wont let me sync

I plugged my ipod into my laptop it said i needed to restore my ipod, i clicked okay and when it was done all my music and apps were gone off my ipod and only the music was still in my itunes library. I then tried to sync the music back but it wont let me, it syncs but doesn't move the music back onto my ipod. Please help because I can't live without my music.

Do you have the right  setting in iTunes to sync the media you want to sync? Check them.
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Does any media sync to the iPod now?
Did you restore via this iTunes library/computer.
Try restoring via this iTunes library/computer again.

  • TS1627 how do i fix an error code 13019 for itunes aka wont let ipods sync music

    We tried all ipods none will sync and we upgraded itunes to its newest version but they still wont sync.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  The iPods don't have any issues with either.
    Thanks!

  • Download itunes 12.0.1 and now it wont let me sync

    Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
    The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
    This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

    On another post someone posted this. It's a way to fix the problem.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.

  • Songs in itunes library wont sync to ipod or ipad

    A number of my songs show in the itunes library but won't sync with ipad or ipod. 

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - From your description it appears that you used to sync to another iTnes/library/computer.  You can only sync to one iTunes library. To switch iTunes libraries you need to do the following after you get all the stuff on the new computer since the backup does not include the apps, music and some other things that are synced to the iPod.
    --- Connect the iPOd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    --- Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • My ipod freezes while backing up and wont let me sync anything :S

    can  someone please help me..i restored the old setting on my ipod to see if it will work but now i just have an empty ipod touch..it wont let me sync my ipod because it keeps freezing while backingup..

    Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to make an entire new file.  It is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

    Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
    This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
    Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply,  then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
    I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes.  Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
    I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
    Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

  • My brand new ipod touch 4th gen wont let me sync new songs to it

    I just got my new ipod touch 4th gen 2 days ago and it wont let me sync any new songs to it and it wont let me take any songs off it either. Ive tried rebooting it and restoring it serveral times and nothing seems to work. Also I updates my itunes and still nothing. HELP

    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 !!!!!!!?

  • 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.
