It's plugged up and everything, but my computer doesn't seem to recognize the device. And it's charging just fine, but I can't add more songs or anything worth mentioning

What 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?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Only iTunes purchased music can hava a cloud icon and then only if the music was purchased with the account listed in Settings>iTunes and App Store on the iPod.

If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?

Does any media now sync to the iPod?

My Ipod won't sync with my computer

My ipod is not recognized by itunes, but it appears under my computer. My computer recently crashed, and so I have had to reload all my programs and songs, and since then I haven't tried to sync my ipod with my computer other than now. I have tried many things under the support section of apple website but nothing works. I put uninstall itunes and it goes for a bit then says "Service 'ipod service'(ipod service) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient priveliges to stop system services"
I have restarted my computer a lot, and pressed retry a few times when I get that error. I have no idea what to do, can somebody help me with this problem? Do I have to register my ipod with my computer in some way since this is the first time using it since I redownloaded itunes? Can I fix this without installing since it doesn't seem to work?
Thanks so much.

I'm having the same problem - I just got a new laptop, and I loaded CDs and bought some music. The laptop crashed, and the hard drive had to be replaced. Now I can only see the things that I purchased in my iTunes, but I don't know how to get my songs already on my iPod to show up. I tried transferring them, but it didn't work. I have the option of choosing "Erase and Sync," but I don't know if that will erase my iPod or what. Please help!!!!!

My ipod nano (3rd generation) won't sync to my computer anymore. I share the computer with other family members and there ipod's sync fine to their iTunes, but mine won't work. How do I fix it? :)

.

Why won't it sync anymore? Does iTunes still see the device? If so, are you getting any error message during the sync process? Need a bit more detail in order to assist you.

My ipod won't sync to my computer, it says there is a duplicate file name.

This has never happened before, and I don't have a clue how to fix this. Can anyone help me?

Are you getting that when connecting to Mac OS or a Windows OS, Kaitlin?

Help Ipod won't work with my computer anymore!

I have a 5th gen Ipod and it has been working fine for the first month I've had it but recently I can't seem to get it to work with Itunes or even be detected on my computer. I've already tried all the things it says to do on the support page and none of it seems to be working. I've reinstalled everything and tried the Ipod updater but it won't work. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what should I do? Is there any way I can just get a new Ipod since I've only had this one for a month?

Try putting your iPod into disk mode...

My ipod won't sync with itunes 9 anymore

So I plugged my ipod into my grandmother's mac to charge it the other day and listen to music while I worked on her mac when I was over visiting, and now when I plug it into my macbook, my itunes refuses to read it saying it needs iTunes 10. Problem is, I can't get iTunes 10 because I'm running off system 10.4.9 and I can't update my macbook further to run itunes 10.
How can I get my ipod to sync up with my version of itunes again? (version 9)

I could update my software, yes, that that would put me in a huge pickle since most of my art software and work software can't run on 10.6, and few can run on 10.5 I'm already pushing it with some programs on 10.4.
Basically I just want my ipod to sync up with the lower version of itunes (v9) since it refuses to do so anymore after I plugged it into my grandmother's computer who has version 10 of itunes. I can't even put music or charge it anymore becuase of this.

My voice memos won't sync to my computer anymore.

They worked just a couple weeks ago, but now they do not sync. Any ideas? I have Iphone 5 and all my software is up to date. Any ideas?

- See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode.

I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.
