How is your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library?  What options do you have enabled/configured from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs?  Perhaps this article can offer more assistance.

    Hi not sure if Im leaving this is in the right place but here is my issue:
    I have an iphone 4s and everything is working, including syncing it except that I have shot two videos that are 30 and 60 minutes that are not showing up on itunes. Therefore, I cannot save them and delete them off my phone. Curiously, when I view my phone on itunes it is showing on the content summary (color coded bar on the bottom of the screen) that the 'other' type content is 13 GB. I don't have other content and I am positive itunes is not recognizing them as video but 'other'. Any thoughts on this? My phone is full and don't want to delete these two interviews I shot. Thanks.

  • We are currently having troubles with our iTunes. Playing different songs and randomly it changes the name of the song to pink time after time. We could go through 5 songs before it will change the next one to song title time after time and artist pink

    Hi I am having trouble with iTunes! Randomly when I click on a song in iTunes it changes the song title to time after time and the artist is pink.
    I could click on 4 songs and they will be normal but then the 5th one will change the info to time after time.
    I haven't done anything different or new, it started doing it all of a sudden, well that I have noticed anyway. Please help.

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • My iPod (5th gen refurbished) flashed a blue screen, then shut down, and restarted. It's fine now, but should I be worried? What happened?

    My iPod was working just fine, and then when I went on YouTube, it flashed a blue screen (for like one minute) and then restarted and shut down. Should I be  worried? What happened?

    My new iPod 5th gen did the same! I think it might be a YouTube and iOS connection glitch

  • Latest ipod touch doesn't sync with my itunes

    I had an ipod touch 1st gen, after updating it, it failed to sync with my itunes which was updated to the latest version at the time that is about 6 months ago (June 2010), then finally my itunes stopped working and would not open, until one of the users advised me to disable the bonjour service and that was the only way I got to open my itunes, however still could not sync it to my ipod since then.
    Recently, I bought the latest itouch Jan 2011, I thought it will fix the issue, however again it did not sync with my itunes (latest version)! I followed many advices on the discussions with regards of uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes and manually running the exe file and extracting the file then upating the ipod drive. When on my last attempt to reinstall itunes it erased more than 70% of my songs, I used to have over 5000 songs, now they are 1515 songs only!
    So I lost my songs, cannot use my new ipod touch and my old one got lost too!
    I really need serious HELP!

    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Iphone4 synced with another itunes library

    I have been issued with a new iphone 4 from my company which had been activated on a works pc/itunes library. I now wish to sync with my itunes account to download my books, music and films but get this warning message " this iphone is synced with another itunes library. do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this itunes library...erasing and syncing replaces the content of this iphone with the contents of this itunes library "
    I have been able to sync my apps with no problem its just the other itunes stuff...
    Pls can somebody tell me - if I choose the option to erase and sync, what do I erase? is it just the itunes content ie music, photos, film, apps etc or will I lose all or some other information stored in my phone?
    thanks in advance Mark

    You will get this warning if you change between manually manage and sync.
    You can manually manage OR sync.  You cannot do both.  If you switch between the two, it will erase the current content.

    I purchased a book for my iPad through iBooks the cover of the book appears when I click on it a description appears but I am not able to open the book nor can I open the books I have previously purchased and when I hit the download arrow nothing happens

    Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

    What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
    It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6.  Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
    When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether.  Is there a  way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

  • Mom's iPod nano won't sync with my itunes?

    I've got my ipod and iphone syncing to my computer's itunes fine, but when I plug my mom's ipod nano (5th or 6th gen) into my computer it won't sync my music onto it. No error message, just every time I unplug it there is no new music. She's got some music that came on the ipod already so I'm not sure if I need to delete that or what to make it sync with my itunes. Itunes recognizes it and I can see what's on it, it just won't sync. Thanks!

    Hi Charlie,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your iPod nano isn't actually completing its sync, I would put it through this troubleshooting assistant:

    Try syncing again after each suggested step.
