My iPod Classic will not synch fully.

I have downloaded the  latest version of iTunes onto my new laptop (Windows 8, dont know if that makes a difference), library was all there as its all floating up the clouds somewhere but on attempting sync with my iPod Classic its only synching 1600 out of 7000 tracks. Its not set to only sync ticked tracks either, I did check!
I did a completele reinstall of iTunes and reset my iPod but to no avail., its a 160GB iPod so its not a capacity issue.
Very frustrated now as have been waiting ages to get a new laptop so I could sync by iPod for the first time in months. I know, I should have got a Apple, sadly too expensive.....So if anyone can figure out what I'm doing wrong, as its bound to be me....., I would be eternally grateful!
Thank you!

  • My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

    My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

    All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
    But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

  • I had to restore my Windows Vista and now my Ipod Classic will not sync

    I had to restore my Windows Vista, before I restored I backed up my Itunes to a external hard drive after the restore I switch my I tunes back to laptop and my library was intact, however my playlist shows up as ghost images and will not play. My Ipod classic will not sync with laptop now.

  • IPod Classic will not sync since installed iTunes 11

    iPod Classic will not sync properly since installed new iTunes. Always stops at or around song 2 and just hangs there, even if left all night. Tried restoring the iPod, made no difference. Tried syncing just some songs, sometimes it will do 20 or so but not more than that - and I have 10,000 songs.
    Saw something about problem with Winsock and reset that but no effect.
    Recently been re-recording CDs in Apple Lossless with 'Convert to AAC' selected for iPod. Maybe the conversion process is causing the block? But it did not before.
    I also tried moving the itunes material from the Synology NAS to the PC as I thought the processing power might be the problem. It synced once after that, now it is blocked again. Tonight I tried selecting only the original AAC files and it seems to have worked for them, my problem therefore seems to be the Apple Lossless - unless the syncing of AAC files is another one-off.
    Not for the first time I wish I had not updated iTunes because it so often leads to problems of some kind. Why do they not care?
    Any

    Update: following successful sync of AAC files, I changed the setting to 'manual' for music & videos, used the View menu to restore the old sidebar, and manually added the Lossless files to the IPod. That actually seems to be working (very slowly). But it would be better if Sync worked as it should.

  • My ipod classic will not charge or turn on

    MY IPOD CLASSIC WILL NOT CHARGE OR TURN ON

    Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire power adapter or FireWire-based car charger.
    Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
    If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
    Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
    Try another USB port.
    Try charging from a USB charger if available.
    If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
    Learn more about charging the battery.

  • 160G iPod classic Will NOT restore

    160G iPod classic Will NOT restore
    Timeline:
    1. iPod freezes
    2. restart
    3. everything gone from device_ creating appearance of factory settings having been restored.
    4. plug into computer.
    5. computer says it cannot recognize iPod because formatless
    6. computer says initialize iPod
    7. I initialize iPod
    8. iTunes says iPod corrupt and to try disconnecting & reconnecting from computer. iTunes also says that if that doesn't work, to restore the iPod.
    9. disconnect, reconnect, FAIL.
    10. restored iPod. Followed all computer prompts for admin codes &c.
    11. computer says iPod is restored & rebooting_ iPod screen begins to alternate between the screen that says "Connected: Eject before disconnecting" with the connection plug icon for about a minute_ and the "Syncronizing: Do not disconnect" screen with the spinning dual arrow icon for about 10 seconds.
    12. Leave iPod alone for an hour.
    13. come back to surmise that iPod is stalled somewhere in the finishing of the restore process.
    14. Try repairing/restoring iPod through disc utility.
    15. Same shenanigans that followed the restore through iTunes.
    16. Try restore through iTunes Again.
    17. Shenanigans begin again & go on for several minutes until iTunes magically goes to the screen that asks you if you want to automatically sync all muisc &c. I tell it no.
    18. begin to try loading things I want into the iPod.
    19. Everything freezes again after 2 songs.
    20. Force quit iTunes when it won't respond.
    21. try to reboot iTunes & can't.
    22. Eject iPod
    23. iPod ejects, but restarts itself & asks me to choose a language . . . I dread that I am back to square one.
    24. Miraculously, with iPod disconnected, iTunes boots up again.
    25. Heave a great sigh, reconnect iPod to see what happens & continue accumulating frustration like a windowsill accumulates dead bugs.
    26. iTunes issues ultimatum: "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod. "
    27. Scream in my head. Mash face into keyboard. Type timeline item 26 and so on . . . Mentally prepare to start over.

    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes and click “Restore”

    So you did evething here:
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • IPod classic will not reset

    My iPod classic will not reset and reads as it is full which it is not. Can't do anything with it ?

    yeah that's the one...... takes you back to factory settings
    That's actually a restore, which done via iTunes.  A reset is equivalent to rebooting your PC. 
    What is the full error message you are recieving and is it from your iPod or from iTunes?

    Try rebooting your computer to see if that makes a difference.  Otherwise, use the Get Info window for these games to determine where they should be located on your PC.  Then navigate out to that location to see if they are actually still there.
