ITunes won't hold my sync settings. Thoughts?

Every time I go to sync, ITunes makes me "agree" to the terms and makes me reset everything.

My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system. iTunes won't let me sync the music from my ipod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download. How do I fix?

Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

updated itunes to 11.3 on win 7 but had problems. so reinstalled itunes 11.2 but now itunes won't recognize or sync my touch 3 with 5.1. did all the recommended fixes, appears have correct driver, all necessary itunes programs, etc. still won't work. help!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Re-Installed iTunes, won't let me sync.

I had to re-install my OS, so I backed up my library on my shuffle before I dumped everything. Now I have re-installed iTunes and it's telling me I am synced to another library. Is there any way to fix this?

The iPod shuffle is only designed for use with one library and lacks the full manual setting that the larger iPods have to safely connect to a different one. You can however still copy the songs from it if you are careful and once the library is recreated it will be safe to sync.
Retrieving songs from a shuffle is a bit different from retrieving songs from a regular iPod. When you connect to your computer you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, your reaction of course is to press "Cancel". As soon as you connect a shuffle and choose "Cancel" when you get the "linked to different library" message the iPod will disconnect. For a shuffle follow this process:
1). On your Windows desktop go to Edit>New folder and add a folder to receive the songs from your shuffle.
2). Download SharePod from this link: SharePod
3). Connect your shuffle to your computer. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. Your iPod will connect but iTunes won't open, the hardware icon should appear in your Windows system tray.
4). Open Sharepod, it should have picked up the presence of your iPod and show all the songs on it.
5). Highlight all your songs in the program window (click on the first song in the list and hold down the shift key, click on the last song and all the songs in between will be selected).
6). Click Copy to PC (the icon is in the top left corner) and choose the folder you created on the desktop or simply drag the songs from SharePod to the folder: SharePod - Copying tracks to your PC
7). When all the songs have transferred close SharePod
8). Disconnect your iPod by right clicking on the hardware icon in your system tray: Safely Disconnect IPod
9). Check the desktop folder and make sure all your songs are there.
10) Open iTunes and go to File>Add Folder to Library, navigate to the folder on your desktop and add the songs.
11). Connect your iPod. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc. Choose "Erase and Sync", iTunes will reload your shuffle with the songs you recovered and link the iPod to this new library.

ITunes won't let me sync my iPhone without entering that passcode, but I've forgotten my passcode. How can I get assess to my phone again?

Unfortunatly my friend was being stupid and stole my iPhone and put a passcode of it, but he made it a random code that he doesn't know himself. I tried to sync it with iTunes but since I never synced it with that computer it won't give me acess to anything, the computer I origanally sync it to was wipped and got restated from scratch. I never had the need to sync it to it again so I never did (Which I'm now really regreating.)
So is there a way I can get back into my phone again? (And if there is how do I do it? and will it erase everything on it?)
Thanks so much for your help

LOST PASSCODE
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
Otherwise read this
If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:
Enter Wrong passcode

TS1538 iTunes won't let me sync! 3rd gen ipod touch

My iPod touch 3rd gen is seen by windows, seen by itunes, but when I click on the device on the sidebar to bring up the information, it just says "ipod" where my music selection usually is. Just a big frustrating white screen that won't let me do anything. I've spent the last hour going through all Apples troubleshooting and still nothing. Re-installed the drivers; started and stopped apple mobile device whatever, went through EVERY SINGLE STEP listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410 and nothing. Reset my computer, restarted the device multiple times, restarted itunes, disonnected, re-connected, held both home and sleep button past the "turn off device" screen, nothing. Any idea's on why this doesn't work now that I've done a factory reset?

You should have all of your music on the new computer, assuming you have used your backup copy to put the music on the new computer.
When you sync, it will erase the ipod and put the content from the new computer on the ipod ( which should be the same, since it came from your backup copy).

Color wheel in itunes won't stop after syncing to my phone. Help!

I synced my iphone to my MacBook Pro last night and the color wheel still won't stop or disappear. Why does it do this and what can I do to make it stop? Does it have anything to do with iPhoto?

I moved the app and Library; I ended up removed all iTunes stuff(except) Library and reinstalled it. It now starts fresh....transferred stuff over however......I can't sync my iPhone...it says there another Library already synced....how do I know which one, I have a few(my fault).
Can I get these cleaned up somehow?
thanks!

ITunes won't let me sync some of my albums to my ipad

So, I manually sync my first gen ipad, and I was wondering why I have not been able to sync some of my music over. It is a couple of albums that were on my computer, but not from/on itunes. Added them to my library, and when I tried dragging them over to my ipad under devices, it acts for a second like it's doing something (beside "ipad", the little loading animation that swirls around pops up, but not for long) and my syncing screen doesn't show up on the ipad. No music was moved over, but yet when I look at itunes on my pc and at the music i tried to sync, every single song that I tried moving over is greyed out and has a small symbol like a refresh symbol beside it (two arrows chasing eachother in a circle, not animated.) please help, thanks!

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

ITunes won't obey podcast sync rules

I just updated my itunes software and plugged in my 16gig ipod touch to sync and it began to sync ALL my podcasts, not just the ten most recent like I have it set up to do. I have looked in my playlists and there is nothing related to podcasts. I am kind of frustrated and would appreciate it if anyone could help me. Thank you.

Look through all of your playlists. Chances are the podcasts are in one of them, and that is why they keep syncing to the iPod.

ITunes won't hold Preferences Advanced Burning CD setting

I have kept ITunes updated. For the first time in a couple of months I tried to burn an audio CD from songs in my library. That always worked before but won't now. I have a Macbook Pro with the same latest Itunes version and found it doesn't have the problem. I figured something was corrupt in the PC installed version and so completely uninstalled and reinstalled 7.7.1.11 That didn't help. I can set the preference for audio CD but it always gets changed to MP3.
Can anyone comment or suggest a fix?

The headers on the problem tracks may be nonstandard or corrupted (this can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities). If you search the web for "mp3 repair" you'll find a number of repair tools. Here's one I've seen mentioned:
VBRfix.
I haven't tried any of the versions of this, so I can't attest to how well (or indeed if) they work.
Hope this helps.

What 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?

ITunes won't see and sync my calendars

Hi all,
I have the following problem: iTunes doesn't recognize my calendars and therefore doesn't sync them. The calendar dialog in iTunes looks like this:
And my calendars look like that:
All attemps to fix that have failed so far. I have exported, deleted and re-imported calendars, deleted Library/Calendars as well as Library/Application Support/SyncServices - without any change.
I'm close to desperation, in particular since I'm right before a business travel and I will need my calendars on the iPhone.
My system data:
MacBook Pro Retina with MacOS X 10.8.5
iTunes 11.1.2
iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3.
Any idea how to get this to work again is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance + best wishes,
Thomas.

Fixed - using the procedure from the last post in

I recently had my hard drive replaced and now iTunes won't allow me sync my iPhone without deleting all the media contents and replacing it with the existing library. Is there another way without erasing everything?

I have already backed up my iPhone, yet it still will not allow me to move the contents of my phone onto my computer. Rather, it wants to delete everything off of my phone and replace it with the contents on my iTunes. Is there a way I can integrate both my iTunes and iPhone? There used to be autofill on iTunes, but I can no longer find it.

Hello there, DollyVong.
