Ipod is not recognizing my passcode, please help!

This is the second time I have put a passcode lock on my ipod. I just put a passcode on my ipod about 10 minutes ago. I know I have not forgotten what it is because I wrote it down and it is the same password as last time. Not it says "Ipod diasbled" in red. I don't know what to do!
I am completly worried because I don't want to erase my ipod and I need it for tomorrow. Is this a glitch? I downloaded the new ipod update software last week, and maybe that did something. I am also not willing to spend money getting it undone, because I know this is not my doing. Please help.

I just went to the express lane help, and no help was found.
I realized that this question sounds weird, but if I don't get any help, I'm going to the apple store very unhappy. This is the 4th time something has gone wrong and it will be my 5th Apple Genius bar visit this year for the same ipod.

Ipod is not synching new songs

I have an Ipod Nano. I recently acquired a new laptop, and got Itunes loaded with no problem. I had some songs that I had backed up on an external hard drive, and I got those loaded onto my laptop and into Itunes with no problem. I've purchased several new songs from Itunes, and I want to transfer them from my computer to my Ipod. When I plug my Ipod into the USB port, it pulls up my Itunes library, and at the top it says "Synching Ipod. Do not disconnect". So I wait...and usually when it's synching, it shows the songs at the top as they're being transferred. It doesn't do that. About 3-4 minutes go by, it says "Ipod sync complete. You may now disconnect your Ipod", I do, but then the new songs are not on my Ipod. I have the settings so that it automatically syncs the checked boxes in the checked libraries. I don't understand why I can't add any new songs! I have authorized this new computer, and tried just about every different setting.
I had another new hard drive a few months ago (I haven't had much luck w/ computers lately), and when I plugged in my Ipod that time, it just erased my library and I started all over w/ what I had backed up. But this time, even when I tell it to "erase and sync", it won't.
Please help!
Thanks!

With that set of symptoms, I'd try checking on a Windows Drive letter confusion. See the following document for troubleshooting advice on that possibility:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

IPod Nano not dowloading new playlist

I bought an entire album off iTunes recently. it shows up on my iTunes software on my PC. But it will not update to my iPod. I followed some other instructions that tell me to go to a music tab. But none exists in my i Tunes. What's with this? How do I dowload this new playlist and tunes.

Welcome to the discussion,
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

IPod is not connecting with iTunes - please help

When I plug in my iPod into the computer, it is not connecting. I thought it was the cable at first, but it is not because I've tried different ones. Please help!

Have you tried the 5R's with the iPod?
Repair permissions with Disk Utility.
Charging or not - try another cable.

IPod will not power up. PLEASE HELP!

I tried connecting in different USB ports & the AC adapter. I even went to the support center and still no luck. Someone PLEASE HELP! Thanks.....

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if my USB cable is healthy? How can I verify? I do know that the USB drivers are installed. The ipod was completey dead before connecting it to the computer and the AC adapter. Thanks again.....

Transfer from iPod to Itunes on New comp PLEASE HELP!

is there a way to do this!? my old comp crashed..hard drive fried...is there a way to get my iPod music, on my new comp??

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 or Vista so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward but you'll need to check for Vista compatibility. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

IPod does not sync music. Please help before I die. LOL

ok so i plug in my usb to my iPod after i dragged the music into itunes from folders and what not and you know usually when the music syncs it will till u the title of the songs and stuff at the top while its syncing right? well i add a lot of new songs and it just says that its syncing but doesnt show the process of it being synced...then when it says done i go back in my ipod and the new music isnt there...i've reset the pod a bunch of times..restarted my computer..reinstalled iTunes..i dont know what else to do..if u can help me it would b greatly appreciated..thank you!!

*i've reset the pod a bunch of times*
Have you tried "restoring" your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to sync using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

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.

This probably seems stupid. But when I go into I cloud and click on find my iphone it will take forever to load and eventually say that some error has ecorred. My settings on my ipod should be correct. However if someone can help i would be so grateful.

i believe you are using an apple device for the first time
once you connect your device to the computer, on the left handside in centre of itunes your device will appear
if you dont know how to add songs and other stuff, just look for it on youtube which will be easy to follow

Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

Thank you for responding.
Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
I will try downloading latest updates.
I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.
