Most my songs on my itunes wont copy onto my ipod touch (oldest version).

only 234 out of 752 copied

Is there anything different about those that do and do not sync? Such as when you optained them, the formate if they are age rated
Did they sync before?

i have a white screen and i tried rebooting the ipod touch by holding the home and sleep button simoltaneously but it still jus tappears white. i also attempted to connect my ipod to itunes but my itunes wont even recognize my ipod touch 4g. What should I do now?

Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

I bought two songs off itunes and they wont sync onto my ipod touch but they did sync onto my ipod classic. I have tried all troubleshooting ideas to get the songs to sync on my ipod toch but nothing works. :(

I bought some songs off of itunes and the songs synced onto my ipod CLASSIC but they didnt sync into my ipod TOUCH. I have tried authorizing and deauthorizing my laptop, updating softwares but nothing works. Anyone know why this is happening?!?!?!

Hi,
The songs need to be in the playlist(s) that go onto the ipod touch.
Plug the ipod touch into the computer and go to the music section of it from the devices menu. From here make sure that the playlist(s) that go on to this ipod are the ones that have the new songs.
Once this is done, click sync/apply.
I hope this helps.

Itunes wont sync files to ipod touch

My friend's wife has been bedbound for years but before she could no longer use her desktop Windows 7 computer, she had gotten hundreds of songs in at least 10 playlists. She recently bought 3 CD/DVDs that she wanted me to rip with itunes and sync to her ipod touch 2. The ripping went fine, if a little slower than I would have thought, but the songs played fine in itunes. When I plugged the ipod touch in, it did not sync on it's own even though "Prevent iPods, IPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" is not checked. I clicked on the device and tried to sync it to the pod touch, it didn't copy the files on to the ipod touch. It said:
Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 1 of 3)
     Waiting for sync to start
Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 2 of 3)
     Preparing to sync
Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 3 of 3)
   Waiting for changes to be applied
   Preparing to copy items
Then nothing. I can sync again but it just does the same thing. One time it took the Preparing to copy items a minute or two, but most times it just flashes by. I actually had to do a screen capture to make sure what it said. The songs and videos are not copied and they do not show up on the ipod touch. She does not have sync all music checked as she has lots of songs she doesn't want on the ipod, just selected songs with the checkmark by them. The new songs have the checkmark, and I even tried copying the new songs into a playlist that was already on the ipod touch, but did not work. I deactivated the computer from itunes, uninstalled and reinstalled and reactivated. Still no copy. She was on an older version (maybe 11) so I upgraded to the newest 12.0.1.26 which didn't help either.
Once I manage to get the songs on the ipod touch, she can move them around to where ever she wants them though the ipod touch, and then we plug in a dock for her to listen to it through the stereo. Any ideas on what else to try to get the songs and videos on the ipod touch?

What happens when you do this for the apps that do not sync?
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Song appear in iTunes, BUT not on my ipod Touch. Why does this keep happening?

This is about the 4th time that i've had this issue. My songs/playlists appear in iTunes when I connect my iPod Touch, BUT the songs don't show on my iPod.
Any suggestion on how to fix this or why it keeps happening?

There's a special iTunes forum where you'd get a lot of readers who specialize in iTunes issues.

Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Itunes wont sync apps to ipod touch

I bought a second gen iPod touch last Christmas for my son, and loaded it up with the preschool apps from my iPhone with no problem. However, after the initial installation, I have not been able to get any apps to sync from iTunes to the iPod. The apps tab shows the "Sync apps" box checked, but the whole page is grayed out and won't let me select or deselect any apps. Now, it also will not transfer purchases I have made from the iPod back to iTunes. I am running the 3.1.3 version of the iPod software, and all of the apps are iPod and iPhone compatible. All restrictions on the iPod have been disabled. Any suggestions?

Same problem here. See also
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11335706#11335706.
My iPod software is up to date, as is the mac OS (leopard), and I bought one new app (having checked its specs) and the app sync page in iTunes is grayed out. I tried deleting a couple of free apps -- a suggestion on another thread for a different problem -- no change. I tried deleting this app and re-downloading it.
I haven't tried buying an app on the iPod to see if it will transfer to iTunes; have only purchased on computer and attempted to sync. Music is fine.
Ideas, anyone?
thanks...

My itunes wont sync with my ipod touch, it comes up with the message -42404

can someone help please? when i open uo my itunes the message :
'A required itunes component is not installed. Please re-install itunes (-42404)'
is shown and i have uninstalled itunes 2 times and re installed it and its still doing the same thing!
Please if someone could help that would be great x

Maybe:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.

Try resetting the iPod...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restart your iPod. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Now try the App or iTunes Store.

ITunes wont cannot read my ipod touch 5th generation??

When i plug in my ipod 5th generation a message pops up on iTunes that says:
"itunes cannot read the contents of the ipod 'Danielle's iPod". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings."
I've only had my ipod for about a week and I'd really like to not have to reset it out of fear of it not working properly again, but i need to be able to sync it. So is there another option i could try first? Like i've sycned my ipod a few times before but all of a sudden it cant read it. Does this have to do with iTunes or my iPod? HALP.

Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

HT1351 I copied my songs onto itunes from a usb and it wont sync to my ipod touch 4th generation and it has enough memory

PLEEZ HELP ME

If you use automatic syncing (not the manual method), you need to set up the Music tab. The Music tab appears on the "row of tabs" that starts with Summary, when you select the iPod touch in iTunes. Click on Music there. This is where you define how iTunes automatically syncs the iPod touch. First, make sure Sync Music is checked,
If your music library is smaller than the capacity of the iPod, you can select to sync Entire music library. Then, everything in your music library should sync to the iPod. Chances are, your music library is larger (or you don't want to completely fill your iPod touch with only music). In that case, you need to choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, or genres. Then, down below, select the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres to sync. Click the Apply button to apply any changes you made to the sync settings.
Going forward, any changes you make to your iTunes Music library that are related to the settings on the Music tab, for your iPod touch, will be synced. One simple way to set it up is to create a new playlist in iTunes (call it something like "iPod touch music"). Put only the songs you want on the iPod touch on that playlist. Set up the Music tab to only sync that playlist. Update that playlist (in iTunes) as needed and those changes will sync to the iPod touch when you connect it or click the Sync button.

The songs i bought on itunes wont play on my ipod

they used to work, but i just bought a new cd from i tunes now all the songs from i tunes wont play on my ipod.
how can i fix this. im not going to "restore" and loose all my songs.
thanks for the help, dave

See this.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
Why would you lose all your songs if you restored it?
You have no back up of store bought songs?

Most my songs on my itunes wont copy onto my ipod touch (oldest version).
