My iPod will not sync to iTunes I can't do anything to it.

The iPod isn't recongnized in iTunes but Windows reconginzed it but it won't format the disc in the iPod. The iPod also says it's connected to my computer but iTunes does'nt recongnize it. I don't know what to do I'm hoping the iPod isn't broke. I've tried resetting it and that has failed.

What happens when you try to sync?
Have you synced with this iTunes library/computer before?

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.

My iPod will not sync to iTunes on new Macbook

My macbook air will not sync to my iPod classic. It detects my iPod, but that's it! I would like my iPod to sync to edited iTunes. i just got this macbook and ditched my pc. I successfully transferred all my music to new Mac, now it's my iPod's turn.

I'm not sure which one i did. But, what i can tell you is: I clicked, dragged and dropped my music folder from my old hard drive to my iTunes on my new Mac.
Which Music folder?
/User//Music/ folder?
Or /Music//iTunes/iTunes media/Music?
On the new computer, delete /Music/iTunes/ folder.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
Open iTunes.
This is all you need to do.

Try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then try syncing your iPod.

Have you tried plugging the Nano into another available USB port or using another USB sync cable? Does it seem to be freeze when syncing the same track?
I assume iTunes is up to date (10.7 at the time of this writing).

My ipod will not sync with itunes. The computer says its there but itunes does not. I've tried everything suggested. I keep getting an error message at the very end.

Here is the error message I get.
When iTunes does install, my ipod still won't sync because it's the wrong version. I've tried doing the version it suggests and still nothing.

Playlists disappeared, and now ipods will not sync with itunes

One day while my itunes was playing music, it all of a sudden froze, so I eventually had to restart my computer (macbook pro). When I relaunched itunes, all my music was gone. It started adding back all my files (including songs I had deleted a while back), but all my playlists are gone. Today I plugged in my ipod to sync music, hoping that I could also somehow bring the playlists on my ipod back to itunes, but a window popped up and said that the ipod was synced with a different itunes and I either have to erase all ipod contents and sync with new itunes, or cancel.
Has anyone had this problem? Any advice on how to get playlists back or do I just need to now erase all contents on my ipods/ iphone and sync with this new itunes?

IPod will not Sync with iTunes 7

I have a 4G iPod mini and I have recently downloaded the latest iTunes version 7. My iTunes contains more than 4G worth of music so initially I had to create a playlist of the songs that I wanted to be on my iPod.
There was no problem with earlier versions of iTunes syncing my iPod with the playlist I had created. However, the latest version of iTunes is not syncing my iPod at all. When I plug in my iPod, iTunes recognizes it, but when I select 'Sync Songs' nothing happens.
I have seen some people have similar issues with syncing, but I haven't seen a solution nor anyone who cannot sync at all. Any help?

IPod will not Sync with iTunes Nano

I want to put the songs I purchased from iTunes onto my iPod. Unfortunately the "sync" is now grayed out even though iTunes is reading the iPod. Meaning, I can add my iPod songs into my iTunes Dashboard, but the songs do not transfer the other way.
I use my iPod, and make song purchases, from two separate computers. Both computers are registered to my account.
I never had this problem with older versions of iTunes.

Hey Biglou1,

HT4623 My Ipod will not sync my Itunes Library! Please help

I am not being able to sync my Ipod touch on my Itunes library. I was able to get all the apps, but no music. Also, some of the sogs I purchased as showing an error message saying it's not autorized to play, but I did purchase on my computer..
Any help will be appreciated!

Is the iPod signed into the account that purchased the music?
Is iTune signed into the account?
Is the computer authoris for that account?

My iPod will not Sync with iTunes.

Okay, so I have an issue with my iPod Classic, it will no longer sync with my iTunes library. When I plugged it into my computer the device needed to be restored and updated. I have done both on the device it has been reset to factory settings and is now on Version 1.1.2. After doing both those things the device will no longer sync with my library. I have tried the button in the iPod window in iTunes as well as trying the file>device>sync route which is not available at all.

So when you connect the Nano to iTunes, it does not appear under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes?
Is this the first time you are trying to connect the iPod with this PC or has it been able to successfully sync before? If it has successfully synced with this PC before, what has changed since the last it was able to successfully connect?
What happens if you try plugging the iPod into a different USB port. Make sure it's not plugged into a USB hub or a port on the front of the PC (if applicable) as they do not provide enough power to properly communicate with the device.
With the iPod still connected to the PC, try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons (or Select (Center) and Menu buttons if it's a clickwheel model) long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

My ipod will not sync with itunes error 50

Ipod Will Not Sync With Itunes

I recently lost all my music from my ipod. I just started putting it back to itunes. I didnt have it on my computer either. Its now all back in itunes, still slowly getting there. I tried to sync it but I when I click the Sync button, it flashes sort of and then doesnt do anything. I tried to manually put the music on there and most of the songs either dont play at all or play for maybe 3 seconds and just go to the next song.
How do I fix this without loosing everything yet again!?

seeing as they dont produce the classic anymore, i suspect they wont give a **** about any issues from the people who still have the classic. at this rate the number of people with still working classics will continue to diminish, as theres no fix more people wind up having the same problem.
