ITunes no longer correctly syncing with iPod

My iPod will no longer sync with iTunes. Plugging the iPod into my MacBook automatically starts up iTunes, as before; iTunes recognizes my iPod; and, when I click Sync, iTunes mimics the syncing process, very briefly. But my iPod's playlists are not updated at all.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having a similar problem?

I had the same problem. Try clicking on your device in itunes and then press music on the bar at the top (summary, MUSIC, movies, etc) and make sure that you have selected sync music and sync all songs and playlists

Itunes no longer is syncing with my iphone 3g?

Itunes no longer is syncing with my iphone 3g on my desktop computer?

I have the same problem. I am using an iPhone 3g with Windows 7 and ITunes 10
This is what happen to me:
opened itunes
plugged in the phone to the computer
iTunes asked if I would like to update my phone to 4.3.3
I clicked ok
iTunes downloaded update
iTunes backed up my phone.
iTunes starts the update but returns an error saying it ecountered a problem and failed to sync.
Now my phone is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen and when I plug it in iTunes does not see it.
I followed all of the instruction in the following support articles but they did not produce any change in behavior.

Help please - itunes library empty after sync with iPod

Please help if you can.
Plugged in iPod to charge, iTunes opened and said ipod associated with another library. I obviously took the wrong option as now all my music has gone, play lists, purchased music included. Music store still has correct account no though. Everything is on my ipod but nowhere else. If you know how I can get it back, I would be most grateful.

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4 and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones. What do i do? Should i uninstall new update? and how?

I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

IPhone no longer can sync with iTunes on Mac Intel Mini

I have an original iPhone (not 3G). It was working fine until today. Today when I booted my mac mini, Software update said that there was an iTunes update. I downloaded and installed version 8.2 of iTunes. When I connected my iPhone to my mac mini (Intel running 10.4.11), which is what I use to sync my iPhone, iTunes didn't see it. It was as if the iPhone wasn't connected to the mac.
I thought maybe it was the cable. So, I switched cables. It still didn't sync (or even see the iPhone).
I have been charging my iPhone using a wall adapter, so I tried both cables with the wall adapter. The iPhone charged just fine using both cables.
I used the cables and tried to sync my iPod Classic (120GB) with iTunes. I can sync my iPod Classic with iTunes just fine with either cable.
I have an 17" Powerbook G4 running 10.5.7 and I thought I'd try to see if it could see the iPhone. The Powerbook is running iTunes 8.1.1, I haven't upgraded it yet. I was able to see the iPhone and I could try to sync, but the iPhone isn't sync'ed with that iTunes library so the sync doesn't do anything, but at least the Powerbook sees the iPhone and connects with it (and iTunes sees the iPhone as well).
I'm upgrading to iTunes 8.2 to see if the Powerbook can still see the iPhone (just seeing if it was the iTunes upgrade that broke the iPhone sync). Well, the upgrade on the powerbook didn't seem to hurt its ability to see the iPhone.
I'm back at square one. My mac Intel mini running 10.4.11 can't see my iPhone and nothing I do seems to help it see the iPhone, but I can sync my ipod classic using the same cable.
I'm now wondering if there is something wrong with the iPhone. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Sometimes a glitch can happen with an itunes upgrade that can cause itunes to no longer recognize your iphone. If you have already tried to restart your computer and tried different usb ports, I would try this:

Your only removing the outer software so it shouldn't affect your itunes libraries or files.

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

My first generation ATV no longer will sync with iTunes

Is syncing with iTunes no longer an option with the newest version? My ATV appears on the menu but I have no options other than streaming.

Fixed! I disconneced streaming then re-connected the iTunes and now it works.

Question I have a dilemma . I added a lot of songs in my iTunes now when I synced my ipod this message appear "Elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library (additiona

I addesd a lot of songs in my itunes, now when I synced my ipod this message appear "elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 382m is required). Then I uncheck a lot of song and synced my ipod again same message appeared. Do I need to buy a new ipod with more memories? Somebody told me to check apply after I unchecked some of the songs but I cannot find the word APPLY. please help I'm not a very technical person.

The Sync button becomes the Apply button, if you change the iPod's settings in iTunes. If you are only unchecking songs in the iTunes music library, you click on the Sync button.
When you select the iPod in iTunes, you see the iPod's Summary screen on the main part of the iTunes window. There is a checkbox there for Sync only checked songs. Did you check that checkbox? If you want iTunes to ignore the songs you unchecked when syncing your iPod, that setting needs to be enabled. If you change that setting, you'll see the the Sync botton has changed to Apply. Click Apply.
That method of unchecking songs works, but it may become annoying over time, as you need to uncheck more and more songs. If you want advice on some other more convenient ways to make it work, you can post back.

TS1424 Just purchased Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. But some (four) of the cuts did not download and can't be played or synced with ipod. Any help?

Just purchased Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. But a few of the cuts did not download properly and can't be played or synced with ipod. Any help?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

No. You have to sync each with your iTunes library on your computer.

I can't authorize my Macbook Pro with iTunes in order to sync with my iPad

I can't authorize my Macbook Pro with iTunes in order to sync with my iPad

There was an error storing you authorization information on this computer.
The required file was not found or has permission error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthrize this computer if the permission cannot be changed.
That was when I was trying to buy the pages app. The reason I was so I could store and use the ICloud between my compert and my IPad.
