My iPod does not sync with my iTunes.

All of a sudden when I try to sync my iPod classic with my MacBook Air the iPod doesn't sync. I get the do not disconnect message, but the iPod doesn't mount as a device in iTunes. The iPod icon does show up on the desktop. I have tried all the suggested solutions on the Apple support page (reset, reload iTunes, etc.). Didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have an even older iPod that started doing the same thing occasionally. It may be that you have some bad sectors on your iPod hard drive. If you can get the iPod to mount in iTunes, you should do a complete restore. If it will not mount in iTunes you should try this:
Unmount the iPod from desktop.
Close iTunes.
Reconnect iPod. If iTunes does not open, great, go to next step. If iTunes opens, but iPod does not mount in iTunes, close iTunes.
Open disk utility. Click on iPod volume, then choose erase tab.
Choose Mac Os extended.
Ignore the warning that iPod won't work. You are basically reinitializing and reformating the hard drive.
After drive is erased/reformated, unmount the iPod.
Open iTunes
Reconnect the iPod. It should now ask you if you want to install iTunes, etc, etc. and you should be able to restore all your tunes.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

I don't know what to do, my iPod does nt sync wit my computer, it's been two weeks

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?

Ipod does not sync back to itunes

Hi there,
just got the new 80GB iPod and have a problem when I sync my iPod back with iTunes. iTunes seems to load new media on it (pictures, music etc.) but sometimes 'drops' everything I did on my iPod since the last sync. I was very disappointed as I just rated about 60 songs and when I plugged it back in, iTunes told me I had not played any songs in the past two days and none of the ratings were transfered to iTunes on my Mac. The iPod did NOT run our of battery and I did NOT change the ID3-Tags in iTunes of all the songs before syncing again.
On my past iPods I noticed that songs that have been changed in iTunes will not get the ratings of the iPod but I never experienced the complete "ignorance" of me listening to any music on my iPod.
Also, probably not related to this issue: Has anyone ever had the new iPod not skipping songs when you pressed the next or previous track buttons? I sometimes cannot skip but still navigate or scroll through the menus etc.
Thanks for any help - I never had those problems with my first and fourth generation iPod.

formatting the ipod resolved the problem for me, and also on a friends ipod with the same problem (160GB version)

IPod will not sync with my iTunes

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I just synced my iPod classic 80GB to my iTunes and it only gets to about the 80th song when the iPod stops syncing with iTunes but iTunes is still syncing with the iPod. I then get a message saying that The disk write has failed and it could not be saved. It then wipes my iPod of everything on it and crashes my iTunes everytime. I have restarted it and restored it many times and still the same problem persists. If anyone can help me I would be very grateful.

Hello El Bido,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would run an error-check on the iPod's hard disk using the tools provided by windows. To do this, open up "My Computer" and locate your iPod's icon. You may have to enable disk use on the iPod from under the Summary tab in iTunes for your iPod.
From there, right-click on it and choose "Properties" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Tools tab. At the top there should be a section on error checking. Go ahead and click "Check now" and make sure you put a check mark next to "fix file system errors" as well as "look for and attempt to recover bad sectors" (something along those lines). Then wait for the process to finish.
It might then be a good idea to also reformat the iPod. Instructions on how to do that can be found in this article.

Calendar – Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes

I posted this question to the iphone hardware forum, however it seems to be more suited to iTunes.
I have had Microsoft Office 2003 working with iTunes and my iPhone 4 to sync my calendar and contacts for some time, and everything worked perfectly up to the other day.
Recently I upgraded from Microsoft Office 2003 to Office 2010, and now the calendar will not sync. Contacts seems to sync ok, but not the calendar.
I have recently gone through several iterations of upgrades for iTunes, iPhone, and other MS patches and updates. Evrything is now up to date. However, nothing I do changes to way that Outlook ignores the iTunes sync.
Everything worked fine until the upgrade to Office 2010. I have changed all of the settings in both iTunes and Outlook and on the phone itself. There does not seem to be any way to make it work.
I always wait for some time before doing any upgrade to make sure the bugs are worked out of it. Since Microsoft Office 2010 has been out for almost three years, I would have assumed that iTunes would work with it, as it normally did with earlier versions. (my mistake)
While the potential is there for the iPhone to ba a good business tool, the basic inability to reliably sync to Outlook (what is agrguably the most prevalent e-mail, contacts and calendar program currently in use) seems to be a relatively significant issue.
Is there any way to fix this?

I looked at the article you referenced, however it appears that the focus is to get Google calndar and Outlook to work together. I do not use Google calendar.
The only real change to the Microsoft side appears to be the change of the version in the Outlook executable file.
Is this all it takes to get MS Office 2010 to sync with iTunes?

New ipod does not sync with Windows

Just bought an a 30gb ipod. I imported my old "Creative" mp3s into Itunes 7. When I connect the iPod it displays "Do Not Disconnect".
It's showing in iTunes and when I clicked on SYNC iPod I got a message that certain tracks couldn't be copied as they weren't found (101 to be precise).
In fact it's not copied any music to the ipod at all.
And how long should I leave it before I disconnect it???
Any ideas?
Cheers
Dick

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
