My iPod won't sync; how do I fix this?

My iPod won't sync any of my music.  It says there is a disk error.  Is this a hardware issue or something else?   What should I do?

Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

    My itunes cannot detect my ipod touch 5g. How do I fix this?
    All I know is that my itunes has not been updated. If this is the problem, I tried to close and reopen the program but the "update" popup isn't popping up anymore and I'm not sure where I can manually update it myself.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    The 5G (iOS 6) require 10.5 or higher
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later7 (free download from www.apple.com/itunes/download)

  • My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

    My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

         My iPod touch is always recognized by my Vista Box...using the same USB cable and port my wife's nano isn't detected anymore.  Since Vista can't see the nano iTunes can't see it either.  When I try my wife's nano I get the message:
         "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it.  For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
         I thought her nano wasn't charged enough but I've charged it for hours and this doesn't make a difference.  It used to synch like my ipod touch but it stopped working about a week ago.  My wife's nano still holds songs and works it just can't be recognized by Windows.  I even checked if the Apple Mobile Device app was running and it was and I stopped it and restarted it.  Didn't make any difference.  Any ideas?

  • My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

    My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

    Thanks but that did not work. Details: when I don't have headphones plugged in, the volume won't go up or down and it also displays a circle with a line through it meaning it's not working. When I go to settings and look at my audio output, it only says headphones, even if no headphones are plugged in. I have tried inserting and removing headphones many times, also tried poking the inside of the headphone jack with a stripped Q-tip, and nothing works. Something inside the jack that senses headphones is not sensing the lack of headphones.

  • When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

    Glad you found the answer.  But something seems wrong.  FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive.  It's not advisable, but it should be possible.  You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

  • When I sync my devices its starts to sync then it says "canceling sync" how do I fix this problem?, When I sync my devices its starts to sync then it says "canceling sync" how do I fix this problem?

    When I sync my devices its starts to sync then it says "canceling sync" how do I fix this problem?, I am running iOS7 on my devices and the newest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks.

    The first thing that I always do when I have issues syncing is quit iTunes, restart my Mac and reboot my device.
    Reboot your device by holding down on the sleep and power buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen and then let go of the buttons.

  • The screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?

    when I start the server, the screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?. The server has no video card.

    What do you mean by 'out of sync'?
    Try running the 'kickstart' using Send UNIX Command or while logged in to that server (ssh etc):
    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent -menu -console
    You might also want to trash /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist from the server..

  • Last night, I plugged in my nano to sync and could not pull up the summary page. It will connect and charge, but will not pop up as a "device" in left column. I can't sync. how can I fix this?

    Last night I tried to sync my IPOD nano, and could not pull up the summary page. It would connect and charge the IPOD, but did not pop up as a "device" in the left column, so I could not click it and get to summary page and sync new music. Same laptop for a year, same IPOD, synced 3 days ago with no problem. Now all of a sudden, I can't sync. No message or other window pops up to tell me if something is wrong. How can I fix this?

  • I turned my iphone4 off and now it won't restart, how do i fix this?

    I turned my iphone4 off because it had no service and it wouldn't get service, so i turned it off and tried to restart it and it will not quit blinking the apple logo homescreen and it won't go away, how do i fix this?

    Are you able to do the reset I described while the device is connected to the charger? If so, does it start? What happens then after you remove it from the charger, does the device power off? If so, then you need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar or your Authorized Apple Service Provider and have the hardware checked. It sounds as if the battery is failing.
