Itunes wont allow ipod to sync...

I press sync and then this window pops up.
Saying "Ipod cannot be synced. Required disk cant be found"
What do I do?
Can I fix this?
Please help.

As long as all of the data on the iPod is also in iTunes, see if you can restore the iPod.
If not, try these steps:

My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??

You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

This all came about when i updated the iOS 6 software. I have tried to re-set up my phone but it makes no difference and deletes everything off my phone.

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

I had to format my HD, now iTunes says my iPOD is sync'd with another computer. How do I get my iPOD's music back in to the library and sync it with the computer again?

I had to format my computers hard drive. Now the iTunes thinks my iPOD is sync'd with another computer. How do I get re-sync the iPOD and computer and get my songs on the iPOD back in to the iTunes library. Thanks!

Can't tell you exactly, as it can be used to facilitate piracy and Apple blocks this sort of thing from occuring (except for itunes purchased music)
But you can find out what your looking for at iLounge, i'd suggest that method for "mixed" music from different sources, that way you get it all back.
Next time, hit the iTunes menu and backup your library to disks, only takes a few minutes and a few DVD-R's.
Good Luck

New itunes is trying to wipe the ipod. But have many many playlists (many hours making) which I want to save. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to just extract the playlists from your iPod, plug it in iTunes. When it appears under devices, right->click on it and choose Export Playlists. Save them to a location such as your desktop and them import them into your library once you have copied and imported all of your music back into it.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I too had this problem after I redeemed two $50 gift cards. I solved the problem by uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. Give it a try.

How do I move my old Itunes in my emachines-computer to my new hp-computer? And why wont my Ipod classic sync with my new itunes? Everything on your support is about mac! I have windows 8

Help!

Hello KatarinaW,
While not specifically for Windows 8, the following article provides several options for transferring your library that can be used in most versions of Windows.

This article will step you through the process of enabling 'manual mode' on your iPod Classic, which will allow you to sync it with multiple computers without disrupting the current contents of the iPod.

ITunes 7 allow iPod syncing to 2 computers?

I'd read online that iTunes 7 would allow us to sync an iPod with more than one computer's iTunes simultaneously. I have 7.0 on both my computers, but I haven't been able to do that with my Shuffle or 30GB video iPod. Am I doing something wrong?
My iMac has all the songs I want on my iPod, but the MacBook's USB 2.0 is much faster. I was actually hoping to populate the MacBook's iTunes from my 30GB iPod.
Thanks.

Windows reinstall and itunes saying my ipod is sync'd with the old itunes.

Hi folks.
I suffered a catastrophic failure with with PC and was forced to reinstall XP afresh - everything backed up so no big issue.
I have my ipod library on a flash stick (it's quicker, and safer should your machine fall over!).
I reinstalled itunes, authorised the machine and pointed it to the existing music library on the flash stick. All easy enough.
The problem I now have is that when I try to sync the ipod I get a message saying that the ipod is sync'd to another machine.
Is there a way I can get itunes to accept my ipod and sync without having to change the ipod setting to "manual - use as disc". This isn't the first time I've encountered this problem following a system reinstall. The last time this happened (about 18months ago) and I allowed itunes to erase and reinstall my music library to it I lost all the play lists.
thanks

ITunes says my iPod is synced but songs are not appearing.

I had to start all over with my iPod because all of my files were erased. I downloaded a bunch of new songs and videos and when I sync my iPod, a message appears saying that three of the files cannot be copied. I used to get that before too, so no big deal. But when I look on my iPod, the songs are not there. It is not telling me that it cannot be synced and the bar at the bottom of the preferences page or w/e says that I have 1.60 GB of music, 795.1 MB of video, and 25.42 MB of 'other'. I have already authorized this computer. Why won't it sync properly?

iTunes can "sync" an iPod, and not transfer any songs. You may need to set up or update automatic syncing in iTunes for the iPod. Otherwise, syncing may sync nothing.
First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When connected, the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
Second, when you set up automatic syncing, the iPod's existing content is replaced. Any songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost. Is that OK? If that's a problem, please post back.
Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar. To the right, the iPod's Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This setting enables automatic syncing. If your iTunes music library can fit on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then, "everything" (that is music) syncs to the iPod when you click Apply. Going forward, any changes to the music library sync automatically to the iPod, at the next opportunity.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlist, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) what you want on the iPod from the lists below. For example, you can have playlists in your iTunes library with songs you want on the iPod. On the iPod's Music screen, select those playlists under Playlists. When you click Apply, the songs in your selections sync to the iPod. Going forward, to update your iPod, update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time the iPod is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes automatically.

I'm going away tomorrow and i really want all of my newest music to take with me. Its an old but fully working 40gb touchbar. Please help! xx

Maybe you have the iPod set to manual transfer, in which case you need to drag and drop music from iTunes into the iPod.
Check in iPod preferences.
