Itunes won't sync photos to ipod

For some reason in iTunes I can't sync my photos in photo albums within iPhoto to my iPod anymore. It just won't do it; I say I want it to sync selected albums from within iPhotos, it says syncing ipod for about five seconds and then 'complete', but there's nothing on my ipod.
I tried setting up a new folder on my desktop, filled it with the photos I wanted to sync with and when it asked me if I wanted to sync my ipod with this new folder I said yes. Tried to sync in iTunes, nada.
What am I doing wrong, and how hard can this be? It used to work fine; I have no idea what happened to make it go pear shaped.

I forgot to add that music works just fine from the external HDD. I have podcasts on my laptop's hard drive, I synchronise music (form CDs) and videos (from DVDs) from the external HDD, but photos will only work from the laptop's HDD.
Anyone seen anything like this before?
Hopefully,
Chris

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

ITunes won't sync videos to iPod (no "Movies" tab in iTunes either)

Hey... I really hope you could help me somehow, I'm really desperate..
So few days ago I was able to sync videos to iPod 30GB and everything went well. When I added some more videos to iTunes and connected iPod in order to sync those videos everything stopped working. All of my music and pics are still in the iPod, but videos are gone completely. There is no "Videos/Movies" tab in iTunes (iPod actually) nor "Images" tab... How can fix this??
Thnx for your help...

I'm suspecting that you don't have the video iPod. Although your iTunes supports video, there is absolutely no reference to video on the iPod portion of the screen. Also, there's no Photo tab and no Games tab.
Further, the iPod software version number is completely out of whack. The latest version for the Generation-5 iPod is 1.2.1 yet you have 6.0. Finally, your serial number doesn't look quite right. I have absolutely confirmed that that is not a serial number for the "late 2006 Generation-5" unit but I can't get sample serial numbers from the earlier Gen-5 units.
Go here and determine exactly what you have.

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?
new version doesn't sync with my ipod :/
What does/doesn't happen?

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.

ITunes won't sync pictures to iPod Touch

For some reason, my iTunes will no longer sync pictures from iPhoto to my iPod Touch 1. gen.
I tell it to sync the five last photo albums, but during sync I get a error message saying that the archives I'm trying to synchronize do not exist (well, it says something like that, in Danish).
Any ideas regarding a possible cause/solution to this problem?
thanks

No one has any ideas?

ITunes won't sync with my iPod, also cannot access store or account

Recently I reformatted my hard drive to partition it. I backed up my data and was able to upload my previous library into iTunes. However, I noticed certain purchased songs are now missing. When I attempted to access my iTunes account I was continually prompted for my login information. I would put in the correct username and password but the prompt window would return again with no change each time. Similarly when I attempted to check the iTunes store i was met with a blank page. Uncertain what else to do I plugged in my iPod Touch to sync the songs to the computer from the device. The device began charging, but not syncing, and no icon to indicate it was even recognized appeared.
I am really stumped as to what the problem is. I have searched the boards and found solutions to one symptom or another, but not all of them. I have tried the recommendations for each individual problem but none have worked in any case. If anyone knows why all these issues are manifesting at once I would greatly appreciate the help. This is the first time I've ever encountered any real problem with this software and I'm not sure what to do.

Yes, I've done that.
I should probably be more specific than I was: I have a ton of music (not purchased from itunes) on my computer. I copied several CD's worth into itunes, and synced, but the only thing showing up on the iPod are three CD's that I'd purchased with an itunes gift certificate about a year ago.
So the ipod is actually showing music that isn't currently in the itunes folder on my computer but it won't show the stuff that IS in there.

HELP! my itunes won't sync with my ipod

When attempting to upgrade to Windows 7, my two month old laptop totally freaked out and had to be sent back to HP to be wiped clean. I just got it back and downloaded itunes to try and get back my extensive music library. When I plugged in my Ipod, it's not syncing with Itunes and giving me back all my music. It recognizes the device, and all the playlists are there, but it's not downloading all the music from the Ipod into the Itunes Library. How can I make this worK?

+Now, are you saying there is no way to get the songs on my ipod back onto my computer? That seems ridiculous.+
You CAN get it back, but there is no way to get it all back using itunes.
For $20, it is probably worth buying CopyTrans or some other 3rd-party ipod manager. My advice is to stay away from the free versions - the free ones seem buggy; the trial versions usually have a limit of songs you're able to transfer until you pay for full version.
+I had a backup, but I cannot get my backup to work with my computer.+
What kinds of back up? Maybe it's worth trying to troubleshoot that, if you don't want to go the CopyTrans route.
Especially if you also have photos and other documents on your backup, and not just music files.
I haven't used CopyTrans myself, but any folks here have said it worked great, and that iLounge article I linked to recommends it. That is what I'd buy if I needed to get something like that.

Itunes won't sync with my ipod, why is this happening?

The songs I just purchased on iTunes won't sync with my iPod Nano?

I just purchased a couple songs from iTunes. I can't sync those songs onto my iPod Nano. I am using my iPod's second computer. I think I've tried everything! Am I screwed or just stupid?

Make sure you have selected all ones (or playlists, artists, or however you organize them) for syncing in iTunes.
Attach you device to your computer; select it in the Devices list; in the main iTunes window, select the Muic tab ang check your selections/options.

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 **.

Itunes won't sync with my ipod even though it says it is

Everytime I connect my 80GB ipod to sync new songs onto it, itunes says that it is syncing my songs, but it really hasn't. itunes will go through the steps on the display place that says it is, but none of the new songs I added will come up, nor will they appear on my ipod. I tried updating itunes, but that didn't work. I was thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling, but I don't want to lose any songs on my itunes since a lot of the songs I have are imported from CDs. Any suggestions would be great!
Also, my ipod will constantly freeze when connected to my computer. I have to hold menu and the middle button to get it to restart. If anyone has anything for that, that would be awesome, too.
Oh, and I am running itunes on Windows 7 if that helps at all.

You need to authorize the computer for each iTunes Store account, which can be done from the Store menu.
