Itunes never finishes syncing w/ my Ipod

For the last few months, Itunes will never finish syncing with my Ipod (I think 5th generation). I have the latest updates from Apple, and have about 27 gb's of the 30gb filled up with mainly music. I add ratings to the songs, but other than that, and a few song additions, there isn't much else to sync. In fact, when I first start syncing with Itunes, the center display window (i.e. where track info is shown) will tell me what is being synced over. Eventually it just says, something like "syncing with Ipod -- Do not disconnect". I've tried waiting for two days, and it'll remain like that. I end up pushing the eject button to free it. The ipod takes 5-10 before it is finally released from Itunes. Any ideas on how to fix?

I get this problem as well from time to time. It always seems to work itself out by it self too. What I do when it's acting up is when it says it's done my iPod screen will go to the main menu for about a second then back the the syncing do not unplug so I just time it right when it's at the main menu and unplug it then. So far it hasn't damaged anything.

  • Itunes never finishes sync

    I have been having this problem with my iPod Photo for the past year or so.
    I have 8400 songs (36.8 Gb) in iTunes v 7.4.3.1
    Whenever I plug in my iPod Photo, it says "do not disconnect" and iTunes says "Syncing iPod. Do not disconnect."
    These messages never go away. I have left the ipod connected for up to a WEEK at a time and the message never goes away.
    I thought this was iPod related, but then I bought a newer ipod (80Gb iPod classic) and I have the same problem with that unit too.

    Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built.  Now when syncing my iphone 4s to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork"  It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours.  Subsequently most of my music and apps are missing from my iphone because it never finishes syncing.  How do I fix this?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • IPhone never finishes syncing

    I have an iPhone 3G and all of a sudden, I am unable to complete a sync. The iTunes will stop responding in the middle of it as it says "Finishing Sync". I tried my other PC and it did the same thing. No music or ringtones will sync either. I tried just one song. It wiped out my songs already on my iPhone. What can I do to get iTunes to finish syncing? Could it be my phone? I have yet to download Ver 4.1. I am too scared.

    After browsing through several similar posts, "https://discussions.apple.com/message/11273586#11273586" got me to try to un-sync contacts. That got the sync to finish as before. Further posts seemed to indicate that a corrupt file would cause this never ending sync. I think that's true since not syncing the contacts fixed the problem. I don't know how to fix corrupt contacts.
    Anybody have a suggestion.

  • Some of my music in ituns, do not sync in the ipod

    Some of my music in itunes, do not sync in the ipod, most of the buying ones

    How is your iPod configured to receive content from your iTunes library?  Automatically or manually?  If it set to automatically sync content, double check your sync settings from under the iPod's Music and Summary tabs.

  • Not all my songs in my itunes library are synced to my ipod

    Why not all my songs in itunes library are synced to my ipod classic?

    Have you set iTunes to Sync all the music to your iPod?
    If you have set it up as step 1, did you also select Sync only ticked songs and videos on the Summary pane?
    If you chose step 2, are the songs mising form the iPod ticked in your Library? If not, that's why they are not on your iPod.
    Alternatively, where are you looking for the songs on your iPod? For example, If you cannot find the artist on the artist menu, have you looked under the album title or the song's title?

    Pretty sure there never was iTunes 4.2.1 and if there was, it did not work with the iPod touch (any version).
    Do you mean iOS 4.2.1?

  • ITunes won't sync info to iPod touch

    Hello,
    I keep getting the following error message when attempting to sync my contacts, calendar, and bookmarks with my iPod. When I check these under the "info" tab and ciick apply, the following error message appears:
    "iTunes cannot sync information with this iPod because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing? If you do not enable syncing, iTunes will not be able to sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks or mail accounts to your iPod."
    When I click yes, the following prompt appears:
    "iTunes was unable to load provider data Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later."
    When I click OK, it takes away my selections to sync contacts, calendars, etc.
    I have never disabled syncing. I've looked through system and iTunes preferences and can't even find an option to disable/enable syncing.
    This was after I updated my iTunes. Then I tried reinstalling it but noting.
    Any advice about how to resolve this very frustrating problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.
    I'm attempting to setup up MobileMe and need to get this problem resolved.
    Thanks,

    Ok...I found a fix that worked awesome on my iTouch. The only drawback was that I had to re-import all of my music, but that might have a lot to do with the fact that I fugged with my Library file(s) before attempting this fix. Here goes...
    Follow tediknight's process for removal of the offending iTunes 9.1:
    here are they programs and you have to delete them in order
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Now go here: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54#download and pick the version you would like. If you've got an iTouch, you're going to have to pick a version 9.0 or newer...which doesn't give much wiggle room. I picked the most recent version before the 9.1 clusterfug (9.0.3 and in my case 64 bit) because I knew that version had worked right up until the update. If you have a 64 bit Windows system, MAKE SURE you pick a 64 bit build. Otherwise, you're just wasting your time downloading and will have to start all over.
    I spent three days solving this problem, and now I'm back up and running. (Other than still having a thousand or so songs to move back into iTunes. But, like I said earlier, that may have been my own fault, or my inability to follow the instructions to restore my library. The files are still there.)
    I hope this helps some folks out. I know I was frustrated to all **.

  • My itunes won't sync with any ipod.

    I connect my ipod classic and it says it is syncing, but once finished nothing has changed. I tried using my sons ipod too (nano), the same thing happens. Ive re set ipods, used different USB wires/ports, reinstalled itunes to make sure i have the latest and checked for windows updates. I'm a bit worried about restoring my ipods cos all my music will come off of it, also assuming its not the ipod as happening with al ipods not just one. Hopefully some one can help.

    Double check to make sure podcasts and configured to sync to your device from under the iPod's Podcast configuration tab.
    To access the Podcasts tab for your iPod, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the Summary tab. Along the top you should see a Podcasts tab, so go ahead and click on it.  Here you can configure how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
    If you do make any changes to do this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the update changes to your device.

  • When i download apps from itunes they wont sync to my ipod touch?

    when i dowload apps from itunes on my laptop the apps wont sync to my ipod touch?

    Do you have the correct boxes checked to sync the apps to the iPod?
    Is the iPod signed into the same aiTunes account that purchased the apps?
    Are the apps compatible with your iPod model?
    Have you syncd apps to your iPod before?
    Have you tried downloading the app directly to your iPod? If you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased them you will not be charged again.

  • ITunes won't sync music with iPod Touch (5th Gen) After 7.0.3 Update.

    Hello,
    I am just wondering has any solutions as to what might be the problem.
    I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch and up until I updated it to the latest version of iOS 7.0.3 and iTunes 11.1.2.31 everything had been working fine.
    Now since that update no new music will sync to my iPod. Applications, Photos and Movies work ok. I buy my music off the iTunes store. If I download an app for instance on my iPod the next time I go to iTunes it starts to download into the libary with no problem.
    My computer recognises my iPod and then starts the sync process at the very end it says "Copying diagnostic information" then onto "Waiting for changes to be applied" that last step lasts for about a minute.
    I can download tracks and albums onto my iTunes library onto my Windows 7 PC but when applying it onto my iPod nothing gets applied.
    So, my question is has anyone found out that Apple is aware of the problem and are they going to fix it with another software update or is there anything that I can do that will resolve this problem.
    I have tries de-authorizing my computer and then authrorizing it again to sync content onto my iPod.
    The only way for now to get new content onto my iPod is to download directly to my iPod my using "Purchased" in iTunes store.
    Thanks for your reponces in advance!
    Best,
    OrlaG

    This is what I am experiencing. The top image is a playlist I made on the ipod. The second image in when I go to "On This iPod" > Purchased > Music
    Could it be the iPod. All the other tracks work perfectly. Saturday was when this started
