Itunes won't sync to my brand new ipod classic. It says "The Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.
I have been onto Apple by phone, and into the Apple store where both of them recomended that it gets replaced. I did, got a brand new ipod classic, and i still have the same problem.
I have attempted to restore, but it won't let me for the same reason.
On a couple of occations it starts to sync!! however it goes through practicly the whole syncing process (12,000 songs, heaps of videos) and then just freezes up! The little rainbow orb spins forever until i have to force quit.
I have had my old ipod and my partners ipod regestered and used on the one itunes with no complications whatsoever, our old ipods sync perfectly with no problems at all.
very frustrated.
Is it my Ipod Box?
Or is it Itunes?
or does it not like me having more than two ipods registered?
with the last new ipod which was replaced and the current new ipod that's a total of 4 ipods regestered on the one itunes
My partner has a Dell Laptop with Microsoft. I downloaded Itunes on there, ripped one cd, formatted the current new ipod, and it synced the one cd i ripped with no trouble at all.
Has anyone else had the same problem with their Ipod Classic?
Mick
Is iTunes up to date (10.7)? Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB or using a different USB cable?
I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread to check your Hard Drive's health. He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

I can't sync my iPhone, brand new computer and it says the phone was disconnecte
I can't sync my phone to my new macbook pro. I bought it the day after Lion OS came out and it is installed. When I use itunes to sync my phone it says that the phone was disconnected. I tried several cords and the help line. They said it is a probelm with lion and that I need to reinstall it. No idea how to do that. They said it would take a while and I didn't have time then.
If you ever want to cut down on back up times eject your SIM card before starting...you should see the over all time go down a noticable amount.
Disclaimer: this does not mean that it will zip like lightning, just move faster than it dies with the card in...
let me know what you see happen. -
Please help. I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes. I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle). I use Windows XP on my laptop. When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library. I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too).
The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library. I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod. PLEASE HELP. I'm tech challenged to say the least.See this post.

Every single time, it'll do the regular sync thing then a little pop up comes up and says "The iPod "[ipod name here]" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." ***? I have searched all over for troubleshooting help. I'm exhauseted. Can anyone help me with this pestering problem? I've lost all the music that I bought on my iPod because it didn't sync up with my computer and when it tried to, it took everything away. Help <3 ?
I have searched all over for troubleshooting help.
Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync -
I've clicked the "Download" link several times and the only thing that apparently happens is a little blue blip zipping toward the upper right corner of the screen. The icon to move into "Applications" never appears.
Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

I cant' sync my ipod because it says"The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. I can't download it because my MAC is version 10.5.8 and it won't accept the newer version of itunes. Any suggestions?
If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. Usually I just restore my ipod and re-download everything, but thats time consuming, and after I unplug my ipod from the cord connected to my computer, I can replug it right after and this will pop up again. I'm getting tired of doing this.
Like I said, it will let me download the apps off iTune, just when I come to my apps page on my ipod, it won't let me add it to my iPod. I can't download it straight from my ipod either, but iTunes doesn't work on my ipod, and when I update my apps, when they're in waiting they never move. What can I do?I would say that you are not connected to the iTunes library you last synced with. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you connect the iPod to another computer/another iTunes library then you get what you see.
You can only manually manage music and videos among different libraries, not apps. -
want to sync music from brand new computer as old one was damanged. says all my songs will be deleted. solution, please?
Do you have all of your content in that computer's iTunes library ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
And if you have music on your device that wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have a copy of it on your new computer's iTunes then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back (iTunes will only copy iTunes downloads back from a device) : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device -
I have a brand new, less then a month old iPod classic. This is my second one as there first one I bought was defective and couldn't be recognized by my computer. This new one isn't without it's glitches. I had 465 songs on it and went to sync some songs, and videos I'd bought from itunes, I synced and unplugged my ipod. Itunes shows 488 items in my library and ipod shows 178. What's going on and how do I fix this?
What you are hearing is the sound of the iPod's internal hard drive spinning up to read data from disk for playback. So basically, what you are hearing is completely normal for the iPod Classic. If you still feel that it is unusually loud, find another person with an iPod Classic and compare them. If your iPod is louder, it could be signs of a faulty/damage drive, but don't be sure quick to jump to conclusions.

i got an itunes giftcard for my birthday and when i tried to add it on my balance on my ipod touch it says the code you entered is not recognized as a valid code. but i just got this card brand new for my birthday.
Make sure you're using the correct code. For most iTunes cards, the code is under the scratchoff area on the back of the card. For more information, see this support article:

If you can't get to work after perusing that page, contact the iTunes Store Support; instructions are at the bottom of that article.

Itunes 9.1 very slow on brand new laptop.
After installing itunes 9.1.1 on a brand new sony vaio f-series laptop, it is extremely slow. It plays music normally, but when anything else is done (right clicking to edit, selecting anything from the toolbar such as File, edit, etc.) itunes responds very slowly. It takes over thirty seconds for any menu to appear after clicking. Sometimes itunes locks up completely forcing me end the process through Task Manager. Also, Home Sharing does now work on this particular computer. Other computers within the network work fine, but when Home Sharing is activated on this machine, the icon for Home Sharing disappears as soon as I log in. The other computer can see it and each other, but this computer can't see the other computers.
Update: I've discovered on this forum that the problem may be with Sony's media manager scanning my library (currently around 3,000 songs). Has this been confirmed?

I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.
If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync.
