ITunes will not sync with ipod when music is not on C drive in Windows 7

For years I have used various versions of windows and itunes, always having my data on a different drive that the system with no issues. I am currently using Windows 7 RC1 and generally finding it far better than Vista.
My problem is that although iTunes works fine as an installation (downloading songs, ripping CD’s etc), however when I try to sync either of my iPods they get ejected before the sync can take place.
iTunes and windows recognise the devices before the device tells me it can be disconnected so the intial communication is ok.
Having done the usual research there are other people with the same issue, and it seems to be specifically to do with the fact that the data is not on the same drive as the OS. I have confirmed this myself as I have a second machine that is also running Windows 7 RC1 but that only uses a single drive/partition, and this machine and install of itunes will sync with both ipods with no issue. Likewise a different vista machine has no problem syncing with the ipods.
So can anyone help solve this problem without having to move the music folder to the C drive?
I appreciate windows 7 is not officially released yet and that an official windows 7 compatible version of iTunes will probably fix the issue, so please add this to the list of bugs if I have to wait for the official release.
Thanks

    I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch.  Of 5 apps, three would not sync.  I updated all software, checked authorizations, and reinstalled the apps -- no luck.  Any ideas?

    All the apps state they are compatible w/ my model iPod Touch.  No restrictions are set that would prevent syncing.  Seems like I might have had a similar problem a while back with one app but can't recall the solution -- it was something simple.

    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.

  • Itunes will not sync with ipod touch

    itunes is installed with the latest version of itunes. all of a sudden, itunes will not sync with my ipod, itunes sees it, when i click to sync it goes through the motions, but never syncs. I get no messages or errors, it just never syncs. the ipod is seen in my computer as a portable device. windows 7 64 bit system. I had the apple store verify the ipod is fine, they emailed me the directions to uninstall all apple apps and reinstall. still, same thing. some of my playlists will not let me move songs within the playlist either, i get a blue border around the songs when i try to. not all of the playlists, only random ones

  • My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

    My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

    Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
    For instance - if you want to sync music....
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.

  • Apps will not Sync with iPod Touch

    Hi,
    I bought three new Apps this morning thru iTunes store.  They will not sync with my son's i-Pod Touch.  (The Apps are compatible with the iPod Touch).  When I plug the iPod into the computer and I click on the Apps tab at the top, the screen is grey and I cannot click or unclick the 'Sync Apps' button.  What can I do?
    Thanks for your help!!  It is much appreciated.

    - Is the iPod connected to the computer it was last synced with? Syncing is different than manually managing music.
    - On the iPod go to Settings>Store and see who is signed in.  To change, just log out and sign in the correct account.

  • Vista will not sync with ipod

    I have recently upgraded to vista and have downloaded Itunes 7.1. I have also updated my ipod to 1.2.1 but itunes refuses to sync with with the ipod. The following error message appears. Attempting to copy to disk "JACK'S IPOD" failed. You do not have enough access privilges for this operation. iTunes could not save to your music folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your music folder and folders in your music folder, the try copying this folder again.

    I was able to figure out this problem.
    That error message regarding access privileges has nothing to do with what the actual problem is. I've reported this to Apple Support and hopefully, they will change the error message to something more meaningful.
    In my case, I originally had a Dell laptop running Windows XP. It crashed, but I was able to salvage the hard drive. I bought this Sony with Windows Vista on it and recovered my iTunes Music folder and restored iTunes with all my music as it looked originally on the Dell running XP.
    Even though my playlist was setup correctly, the problem turned out to be that I had stored some of my files in the My Music folder on my Dell. The path to that in Windows XP is \Documents and Settings\User\My Music. In Vista, Documents and Settings has been changed to just Users.
    So, what this turned out to be was that it had nothing to do with write privileges on the iPod, it's that iTunes simply couldn't find some of the music listed in my Playlist.
    To resolve it, I deleted the entries in the Playlist that were pointing to Documents and Settings and added them again from the new music folder in Vista.
    Since doing this, I can now sync my iPod with no issues whatsoever.
    I hope this helps anyone else having this problem.

  • Changes made in iTunes not syncing with iPod Touch

    Anyone have suggestions on a strange issue.  When I make changes in items on iTunes (ver 11.1.3.8), itunes appears to sync with the ipod, but the changes are not reflected on the ipod.  iPod software is current.  Many thanks for your advice.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • HT1369 Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync with iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple sloution?

    Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple solution.  Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

    Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • A youtube movie clip will not sync with Ipod classic

    I downloaded a short movie clip from youtube using Vdownloader. The clip downloaded to my movies in Itunes.
    However it will not sync with my Ipod classic, and comes up with the error message "the olympics opening sequence was not copied to the Ipod, because it can not be played on this ipod."
    Previous movies using Vdownloader have copied to the Ipod okay. I am running on Windows XP.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Let's just say that if your mvies are rent or bought, they are possible for snycing on your classic, but if they are downloads they won't be able to sync on your classic...

  • Why will Apple notes will not sync. with iPod or iPad

    Why will Apple notes not sysc with iPod or IPad from Mountain Lion?

    IMAP is a type of e-mail account.
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/imap
    Apple says you can use an IMAP account to sync notes, but I haven't yet spotted how you set this up. iCloud is easy and free, though, and for me at least has worked quite well to sync my notes among all my devices.
