My ipod no longer synchs with itunes

My ipod no longer syncs with iTunes and my computer. It shows up under devices, but not in itunes. I installed an update from Apple yesterday. Could this be causing the problem (their updates have caused issues before), or is there something I need to do to get the iPod to synch with iTunes? Thanks. JP

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

I have purchased recent songs and within the last week my iPod is no longer synching with iTunes. I have all the recent downloads. Help!

I have purchased recent songs on iTunes within the last week and now my iPod is not synching with recently purchased songs. I have all the current updates. Help!

Hi there seanstrvln,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s an issue syncing recently purchased music from iTunes on your computer to your iPod nano. Take a look at the article linked below, it’ll walk you through the process of selecting the music that is synced to your iPod and displaying music that has already been synced to the device.

TS1453 Apple TV (1st Generation) no longer synching with iTunes

Since updating to OS X 10.7.4 I am no longer able to synch my Apple TV with iTunes on my 21.5" iMac. The Apple TV appears on the list of devices in iTunes and is connected to the internet, but it will not synch with iTunes on my computer. Also since the update I am no longer able to wirelessly print files and can only print by connecting my printer cable. Looking at the community pages I suspect the problem lies with Bonjour and this may have been affected by the update. Has anyone experienced similar problems, or can you offer help to overcome this frustrating issue?

Have you tried the following:
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

IPhoto no longer synching with iTunes

Ever since I installed the latest Yosemite update, 10.10.3, iPhoto no longer syncs with iTunes. Once I connect my iPhone with my MacBook Pro and iTunes launches, I have confirmed that it is wanting to sync with iPhoto and not the new Photos app (which I can't stand). I have selected events I have chosen to sync and this used to be a seamless process. There must be a glitch since the update, as it freezes on step 5 of 6, importing photos. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Have you found a solution? This is most frustrating.

Ipod nano not synching with itunes: HELP!!

I just purchased an ipod nano and tried to synch with the latest version of itunes. I'm unable to synch and get an error -53. Does anyone know of this error? I tried calling support and was on the phone for over 3 hours and was unable to receive any help from them.

The error messeges that I get when trying to update my ipod to 1.1.3 from 1.1.2 is 1417. The error when I try to synch or restore is -53. Does anyone know what they mean? I just purchased an Intek21 high speed USB card. I also get an error on the diagnostic regarding no IEEE 1394 host controller. I'm not using a firewire though, it's a USB connection.

TS1286 iPod no longer syncs with iTunes either by USB or Wi-Fi

My iPod Touch2 is recognised by Windows7 PC when connected by USB and only shows in iTunes under STORE under items purchased. But there is no icon to allow sync to take place. Wifi no longer works even when iPod is charging and iTunes is running on PC. iTunes and iPod software shows as up to date. iPod has been hot and cold restarted. Nothing suggested in FAQ's is working. Please help.

Did you do everything here:

I just bought an ipod classic and synched with itunes. The main part showed up on ipod but not the playlists. How can I get playlist to appear on ipod. Thanks!

I bought a new ipod classic. When attempting to synch it made me update itunes to the latest version (there may be a more current one now.) I did this and when I synched to ipod everything showed up except the playlists. How do I get the playlist to synch to ipod as well? Thanks!

Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

Ipod no longer synching with ical is only the worst of the problems

My first problem was that iTunes would only transfer over certain calendars, not all that I had selected. On top of that, some, but not all, of the start times were an hour later than my iCal calendars. And, I've been having issues with disappearing calendars. So, I restored the iPod and the following happened...
After connecting my ipod to my iMac, I went to iPod options and under calendar, I selected to "synchronize all calendars". iTunes found all my calendars. I clicked ok, iTunes says it's "updating calendars" and after a few moments my ipod is back to normal. But, when I navigate to calendars on the iPod, there are no calendars to be found.
So, I reinstalled itunes. deleted .plist files. I even exported all my calendars to .ics files and completely reinstalled iCal. Restarted the iMac a few times in between. Now, the only way I can get the calendars to show up on my ipod is to mount the ipod as a drive and copy over the .ics files. Since I have 16 calendars, the export and copy routine is not ideal.
I do not sync with entourage. I have a .mac account, but I don't sync with that either. Nor do I have the Mark Space app that seems to appear in a lot of threads about odd times and disappearing calendars.
I have a Gen3 20gb iPod with the latest updates, itunes (6.0.4) ical (2.0.3) and OS X 10.4.6 with 1 GB RAM and about 160 GB of available on the hard disk. My iPod has about 12 Gb of stuff on it.
Any clues as to what's happening or how I can solve this?

IPad No Longer Synching with iTunes

Took awhile to get the laptop to recognize the iPad as a device. It finally happened after booting it on and off.
But since then, it goes into perma-sync mode and rolls on for hours without changing the content on the iPad (new songs on iTunes and new photos added).
Strange, since I've never had a problem with my iPod before, but the iPad (granted, first generation), seems to have a lot of issues. PS -- I've booted both machines on and off, to no avail.
Anyone with other ideas?

thats whats happening with me!

IPhone no longer synchs with iTunes

For the past few days, my iPhone was syncing perfectly. My songs, calendar Apps; everything was on my iPhone. Now, since this morning, for some reason, none of my songs will sync to my iPhone from iTunes. I am wondering if it has something to do with the iCloud, since I haven't upgraded to Lion yet?

Have a look in the settings on your iPhone to see if you have enabled iCloud backup.
The phone will only backup to one or the other.

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.

Are you following these instructions?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Where is the lock icon on the screen?

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again.
