My I-pod will not sync.

I have an ipod 5 with the latest version of itunes and ios and it wont sync my music. I have uninstalled and re installed itunes and powered down my ipods but no music will transfer. Can someone please help??!!!

If iTunes does not see the iPod:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or               
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
Otherwise
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?          
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • I pods will not synce with windows 8.1?

    i pod nano will not synce using windows 8

    i dont get any message,  its just gets stuck while downloading, and will not finish.
    Many thanks.
    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
    If you still can't get a working installer from the standard download page, try the following direct download links for 11.1.5.5:
    iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-02-25)
    iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-02-25)

  • TS2776 My I-pod will not sync with the i-tunes on my pc. What can I do?

    I have recently added some CDs to my i-tunes and tried to sync my i-pod but it gets to the second track and freezes. Therefore, it does not proceed any further and so I have a version of i-tunes on my pc which is different to my i-pod and I cannot sync any more music. What should I do?

    Ok.  So what you are saying is that I need to put everything from my original computer(even unchecked items that are not on my i-pod) onto my i-pod and then upload it again to the new computer.  Then my new computer will sync the i-pod.  Or could I delete the original i-tunes account on the old computer and the new computer would now be able to sync with my i-pod. 

  • HT2729 My I pod will not sync my photos to photo stream.

    My I pod has always streamed the pics to the photo stream on my computer.  Lately, it has not been syncing.  Could anyone help me get the photos from the I pod to my computer?

    Why not?
    What does this have to do with iTunes?  iTunes does nothing related to photo stream... syncing of pictures/videos from photostream to a Windows computer requires the iCloud Control Panel.

  • TS4062 My 2 I-pod's will not sync to either of my computers.

    My 2nd and 3rd generation will not sync to either my laptop the desktop.
    They were working fine until recently.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    All I can suggest is this: Try on one phone...sync to create a current backup, once finished, hit the "Restore" button on the Summary Pane. This will restore the phone as a new device. Eject when finished...do not sync any content to the phone. Do things work now? If so, sync your content back to the phone, do not restore from backup.

  • My i pod 160g says it has only 470 mb free and will not sync it only has 20 songs on it it also refuses  to reset

    my ipod 160g says it only has473 mb free and only 20 songs on it
    will not sync or reset

    Hallelujah!
    First I reset the iPod Classic by simultaneously pressing <menu> and <select>.  As soon as the Apple logo appeared I pressed simultaneously <select> and <pause-play>.  That enabled disc use.  From thereon I connected the iPod to an old desktop running Windows XP and iTunes version 8.n.n.  It allowed me to restore the iPod but syncing proved erratic.  It would stop after say 30-40 songs.
    So I bravely connected it to my usual desktop running Vista and iTunes version 10.5.3.3 and behold, It restored the iPod and synced the entire music library just as before!
    Needless to say I shan't be syncing this little baby again.  There is enough music on it to last me on a long flight to the end of the world and back!
    Thanks for your help and I hope others may like to try this method.
    Now a secret  - I called the Apple help line and a nice lady from the Portugal call centre told me to press the buttons in that sequence to get it going as a disk.  She has also emailed me some helpful articles but I did not need to read them. 
    Thank you Apple!

  • HT1351 I have 2 ipods -1st generation Nano and I pod Touch. I tunes will not sync with the former. It appears this has only been a problem since downloading I Tunes 11. On connecting the Nano I Tunes does not seem to recognise it in any shape or form.

    Old Nano will not sync with I Tunes   ? dates to downloading I Tunes 11  Using original connections  ? Any comments

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

  • IPod will not sync to newer computer

    Friends,
    I have a perplexing problem. I am moving my computers around. I always move the faster one up to the office while the older one goes to another room. Currently I have the iPod synced to a MAC 450 GHz G4 computer. I wanted to move the iTunes and sync to my faster computer. ...I have a G4 dual 1GHz MDD. I inserted my pod into the dock and it requested that I sync to the iTunes new computer. This required that the iPod be erased. I have already moved the library to the new G4 1GHz via DVD discs as per the instructions for moving to a new computer. However, within about 4 minutes as it was writing the tunes to the ipod, a dialogue box popped up and said " Attempting to copy to the disk "my name" iPod failed. The Disk could not be read from or written to." I checked the iPod drive via disc utilities. Everything is fine. The iPod mounts with no problem. I even purchased music that the library disc is on ( I keep a separate drive for the library) every thing is good. I updated my OS (10.4.11 and the iTunes is 7.6.1 (9) For some odd reason my 1 Ghz MAC will not sync to the iPod. I then tried the ipod on the old G4 450 GHz and it re syncd...... no problem. Any suggestions ??? Trouble is .. in order to test it ..... you gotta see if it will write all your tunes.. I really want my 1 GHz to be the main "sync" one.
    Second problem, but not as serious... every time I insert my pod into the dock, BOTH MACs tell me that I should use 2.0 USB and connect the dock to the back of the computer. IT is connected to the back of the computer!!!!!
    Mike

    Did you download the ne iTunes?(i think its 11)
    If that's the case then you need to go to "music" and select that you want to sync your music.
    Hope that helps.

  • My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP

    I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

    The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
    Here's some other option for Windows users.
    First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
