Just got a new iMac my itunes will not sync music to iPod

just got new imac itunes will not sync music to ipod

I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD IMAC WITH ITUNES.  I DECIDED TO TRY AND SYNC AN OLDER MODEL IPOD.  EVERYTIME I CONNECT THE IPOD USB TO THE IMAC, I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:
Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER USB DEVICE CONNECTED.  NOTHING AT ALL.  IT SEEMS MY IMAC IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH AN OLDER IPOD??
HELP.  THANK YOU.

  • Itunes will not sync music to Ipod

    I have downloaded 8 new songs onto Itunes on my computer. I clicked the sync button to get the songs on my ipod. When it was done syncing, I looked on my Ipod and none of the new songs had synced. There was no error message, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary execpt for the fact that they did not show up at all on my ipod. I did everything how I have always done for two years now...
    Could someone please imform me of the problem or something I am doing wrong? I would really appriciate it.

    Will they play in itunes?

  • Itunes will not sync music to Ipod - but shows it has?

    I have a video Ipod, and until today it was working fine
    Having uploaded CD's to Itunes all day, these were not been added to the ipod, even though they showed in Itunes. The Ipod just showed what was on it before today, none of the new content.
    I have unistalled all itunes and updater software, and then updated the Ipod.
    Now the Ipod has nothing showing on its content.
    I link the ipod to the PC and Itunes says it is updating, do not disconnect, it finishes, and shows the ipod in itunes and in itunes it shows an exact match for the Library content.
    I disconnect the Ipod and it is still empty
    Please help me fix my expensive paper weight

  • I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

    I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1.  Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
    2.  Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly.  There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:

    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

    What do you mean "not working"?  That could mean multiple different things.
    If help is desired, be as specific as possible.

    just bought a new pc and itunes will not open. I have tried thto repair and reinstall but still no itunes

    Best route here is to uninstall iTunes completely using the Windows Control Panel.
    Make sure you know exactly which version of Win 7 you're running.
    Restart your computer from cold (with no iTunes).
    Go to Apple website and download the correct version for your operating system.  Install following Apple prompts.
    Once installed, close iTunes.
    Restart your computer from cold (with new iTunes).
    Start iTunes - all should be operating well!  Good luck ...

  • My computer died rather rapidly so i had no chance to do a backup or anything. now i want to put itunes on my new computer but it will not sync with my ipod. i got my purchased music but not the playlists and it does not sync when i plug it in.

    my computer hard drive died rather suddenly so i had no chance to do a back up or any thing. i put itunes on my new computer and got my purchased music but my ipod will not sync and i cannot get my playlists onto the computer. is there any way to get my playlists on my new computer and also get my ipod to sync. it is a waste of time to purchase new music and i do not want to purchase a new ipod since i have so much memory left on this one.

    Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists  and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
    Thanks to all.

  • Itunes will not sync music to iphone

    Since downloading IOS 5.1.1 my selected music in iTunes will not download to my iphone 3GS. Never had this problem before. The itunes library shows all the albums I want to sync checked off and even when I connect the iphone with the sync cable the songs will not be synced. I've looked at all settings and everything looks the same as it always has. I did get a new iphone 3GS recently to replace a stolen one but all settings remain the same other then the new software 5.5.1.
    Help?

    Somehow this was related to me having to purchase a new 3GS when my other was stolen. At the same time we bought a new iMac. When I set the iMac up for my wife I set up a 2nd user account for myself. In that account I synced my new 3GS. It had all my music on there. My Macbook, where I thought the music files were still residing, had music files which were "grayed" out. When I tried to play a song from that extensive list I got an error message that the song could not be played because the "original" file could not be found. So I turned on "File Sharing" on both computers and when my library showed up on my Macbook I copied and pasted all the songs to my Macbook's music  library. I then had to go back and delete all the duplicated "grayed out" non-working files. I then synced my iphone to the new library and "voila" the music files had migrated.
    There might have been an easier way to do this but I couldn't find it...and at least this worked!

  • ITunes will not sync podcasts with iPod touch

    I've tried just about everything I know and consulted the internet, but I cannot get iTunes to sync my podcasts with my iPod Touch. It will sync my music, but it simply will not sync any of my podcasts. It must be something simple, but I've exhausted my knowledge on this issue. It worked fine on my desktop, but when I tried to move it over to my laptop, it just wouldn't work, no matter what I try. Call me an idiot or whatever you need to do if this is something stupid, but please, help me get my podcasts back!

    There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

  • ITunes will not sync music to new iPhone.

    I used to have an iPhone 5S 16GB, and I just got an iPhone 5S 32GB. I went to backup my new phone from iTunes, and it worked fine. Yesterday, I put a new CD on my iTunes and thought I had downloaded it onto my iPhone. I went to listen to the new CD today, but it was not there. I noticed when I plugged my iPhone into my computer, iTunes said under the "On This iPhone" tab that there are 792 songs on the iPhone, and the library shown in iTunes is correct. It has the new CD on it and everything. My iPhone, however, even after trying to sync the correct information multiple times, still has 908 songs on the phone, and the new CD is not one of them. Now my full iTunes has more music, which I have gone through and unchecked what I do not want on my phone. I have the "Sync only checked songs and videos" box checked on the main page. Everything according to iTunes is correct, but it does not match what is on my iPhone. I even tried taking the music off the iPhone and the putting it back on, and the computer said "Syncing 792 songs" but my iPhone still says 908. I can't figure this out, what do I do? Please help!

    This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.
