My iPod will not sync to my computer, but has no problem with others.

So, my Nano was a birthday present that I got in March of 2008. I had not experienced this problem, until about five months later. My Nano no longer will sync with my iTunes library. it syncs with my neighbor's Mac and her library. But also with my Boyfriend's PC (also Windows XP).
I also cannot restore my iPod to it's factory settings. I get an error message that says, "Aimco user's iPod cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred.So, my Nano was a birthday present that I got in March of 2008. I had not experienced this problem, until about five months later.

But I do not get this message immediately, sometimes it takes hours (while it claims it is Restoring) before I get the error message.
I get a similar error message when trying to sync.

whoops, sorry for the repeats guys.

  • My Ipod will not sync to my computer.

    My Ipod will not sync to my computer. There have been several pop ups saying that my Ipod Is unable to sync.It also says i don't have the correct disc? I don't know what that means. I have tried unplugging my ipod multiple times to see if it will sync correctly, but It hasn't so far.All i really need is to put music on my ipod.  Please help soon!

    Not sure what the problem is. I'd try to troubleshoot it. See if it will work with a different USB Transfer cable. See if it will connect to a different PC. See if OTHER iPods will connect to YOUR PC. Usually when something like this happens it's a setting that has been changed, or unfortunately, it can also be a hardware issue (iPod connection port broken, USB Transfer cable broken, etc...) Let us know if any of these things work or if you get it fixed. Good Luck!

  • IPod will not sync to newer computer

    Friends,
    I have a perplexing problem. I am moving my computers around. I always move the faster one up to the office while the older one goes to another room. Currently I have the iPod synced to a MAC 450 GHz G4 computer. I wanted to move the iTunes and sync to my faster computer. ...I have a G4 dual 1GHz MDD. I inserted my pod into the dock and it requested that I sync to the iTunes new computer. This required that the iPod be erased. I have already moved the library to the new G4 1GHz via DVD discs as per the instructions for moving to a new computer. However, within about 4 minutes as it was writing the tunes to the ipod, a dialogue box popped up and said " Attempting to copy to the disk "my name" iPod failed. The Disk could not be read from or written to." I checked the iPod drive via disc utilities. Everything is fine. The iPod mounts with no problem. I even purchased music that the library disc is on ( I keep a separate drive for the library) every thing is good. I updated my OS (10.4.11 and the iTunes is 7.6.1 (9) For some odd reason my 1 Ghz MAC will not sync to the iPod. I then tried the ipod on the old G4 450 GHz and it re syncd...... no problem. Any suggestions ??? Trouble is .. in order to test it ..... you gotta see if it will write all your tunes.. I really want my 1 GHz to be the main "sync" one.
    Second problem, but not as serious... every time I insert my pod into the dock, BOTH MACs tell me that I should use 2.0 USB and connect the dock to the back of the computer. IT is connected to the back of the computer!!!!!

    Did you download the ne iTunes?(i think its 11)
    If that's the case then you need to go to "music" and select that you want to sync your music.
    Hope that helps.

  • My iPod will not sync to my computer. Help!

    I just got a new 30gb iPod and uploaded the music off of my sister's laptop. Now, when I try to upload the music off of my computer, it will not allow me to do it. I don't know what the problem is because it used to let me upload from both computers. I have tried manually syncing it, but when I drag the files over to my iPod link, the strikethrough circle appears. Please help!!! Thank you.

    Before you start, remember that connecting to a new iTunes library will erase your device during the first sync.
    Here's how to save your data and settings: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    After that you can connect it and set it up again. If it is not recognized in iTunes, follow this article: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • My ipod will not sync from my computer

    I can not get my IPOD to sync. I purchase a song,but it will not go to my Ipod 8gb serial #1c911w4y201

    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?

  • My ipod will not sync now that windows 8 has been installed, but ipod worked fine before

    I am running a Ipod Nano think it's 3rd or 4th generation, when I had windows seven the ipod would be syncing fine with my iTunes, not that windows has updated windows to windows eight, I am now experiencing problems with my ipod syncing to my iTunes. It recognises the ipod but will not allow me to access it or change the music on it. I have followed all the More Info steps from the box that appears on my iTunes, I now am at a loss as to how it will ever work again, so I am stuck with the music on my ipod until I can change it. How do I go about getting my ipod back to syncing with iTunes after my windows update?

  • My iPod will not register on my computer, but it will on other computers.

    I have a Windows XP and everything else works in my USB ports but my iPod. My iPod works in other computers just not mine.

    Since yours is a old PC, the iPod will run into timeouts,
    Re-install iTunes, it may update the iPod device driver.
    Try connecting the iPod to a USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC.
    Disconnect all other USB devices, and dont use any USB hubs
    Disconnect from the Internet
    Stop the Antivirus software

  • I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

    I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011.  I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC.  I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it.  HELP!

    See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    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.

    As mentioned by vazandrew, 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
