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 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!

    You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings.  There is no other way.
    Here are instructions for getting your iPod touch into recovery mode.

  • 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 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 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?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • 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.
