My ipod wont sync all my music/files, comes up with an error now

HI there!
My ipod was working fine over a week ago and now it wont work!
I try to sync it and it says it has synced it but only puts on about 200 songs out of 2000- not even that, before it says unknown error and then wipes it all off,and wont sync! someone please help! It isnt the memory as I have 160g!
I have restored it many times, uninstalled and installed itunes a few times too, and nothing
Also when i plug my ipod in it comes up on my laptop screen that i should scan and fix my ipod as files on there that arent right?!
It's very frustrating and Im hoping someone can help me soon,
Kelly

My ipod was working fine over a week ago and now it wont work!
Let's start with the basic: What changed between the last time it worked and nopw? Did you update your iTunes to a newer version? Plug in any new USB devices? Change the port to which you connect your iPod? Add any new devices that changed drive letters? Apply any patches? Drop or expose the iPod to temperature extremes?
If we know what changed, we can start to figure out how that change caused this problem.
P.S.: If your answer to "what changed" is what I think it is (i.e., you updated iTunes), then reading this summary post of mine may give you a clue as to the problem.

  • Updated to Mavericks and the new version of iPhoto starts to install but just gets to 10.2MB and starts all over and then comes up with an error message

    I installed Mavericks to my computer and iPhoto isn’t working it has a grey no working symbol over it.  So I tried to download the new version of iPhoto but it starts to download and just gets to 10.2MB and starts all over after about 3 mins of doing this it comes up with an error message saying  an error had occurred.  I have tried downloading several times restarting the computer and downloading and still get the same thing over and over again.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Ipod wont sync

    so recently i got my computer reformatted i have 2 hard drives in it one with all my stuff on it and the other is new so i tried to sync my ipod after i reformatted and now it wont sync the songs and video comes up with 2 error messages itunes could not copy(song name) to the ipod (ipod name) because file could not be read or written and the other one say attempting to copy to the Disk (Ipod name) the disk could be read from or written this is new cause before i got it reformatted it would load them up even with the 2 hard drives any one know the problem cause it even affects the songs when i play them on itunes it pauses for a bit the plays it again

    Well... this is where it gets weird. She's had an eMachines computer for a few years... gives her trouble with the DVD and CD drives. Still works ok, otherwise. Then I got her the iPod and it works ok for a month or so, until the computer crashes every time she connects the iPod to any of the USB ports. Everything else still works fine in the USB ports but the iPod. Every so often between crashes she can get the iPod to update. Then the computer stops working together.
    So she junked the computer and bought a brand new HP (tried to get her to buy a Mac, but she doesn't listen to me.) and the whole computer works fine. She plugs in the iPod and nothing happens. No error messages. Nothing. It's like nothing is plugged in. Won't even charge the battery if it's connected to the computer. I think it's possible that the iPod itself might actually display the "Do not disconnect." but otherwise... there's nothing.
    Explain to me the reset and restore... she's done something, but I think it's just the regular reset (laying the iPod flat and pushing different parts of the click wheel.)
    (And I don't know her update settings off hand... it should be auto update... but I'm just guessing.)

  • My 30gb Ipod Classic wont sync all the songs in my library

    My ipod wont sync all the songs from my library, my library is only about 6gb so that cant be the problem. I tried to sync a playlist of the songs that werent syncing and still didnt show up on my ipod. How can i fix this?

    What configurations/options do you have ticked/enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
    Is the iPod set up to Sync entire library?

  • Ipod shuffle syncs all music but only plays-back MPEG audio

    My iPod shuffle syncs all the music I specify but will not play-back AAC files!!  It will only play-back MPEG audio files. Is anyone else having the same issue?  Have restored it numerous times and tried fewer files / more files but no joy.  The voiceover just says "please sync with iTunes"

    Hi MattG-Eastbourne,
    If you are having difficulties with your iPod shuffle not playing certain audio content you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • HT1349 I have recently moved home from the UK to the Cayman Islands, my PC in the UK has been destroyed as it was 240v but my ipod will now not sync with itunes on my new laptop can anybody help as my ipod holds all my music files

    Now with a little more space, I believe this to be a simple fix just not for me! I have recently moved from the UK to the Cayman Islands and there lies the problem,  'voltage'  ....
    My UK PC was 240v and has now been destroyed so when I secured a new laptop 110v and downloaded itunes I was told by 'itunes' as my ipod was linked to another PC it would not/could not sync to my ipod. As the ipod holds ALL my music files this is a major drag. Can anybody tell me how to unassociate my ipod with my old PC so I can sync with my new laptop.
    Regards Rob

    All computers sold in the past 10 years are univeral insofar as voltage is concerned, so it may have been destroyed but not because of voltage. The right thing to do is to restore the backup that you must have made of your old PC to your new laptop. Then you will not lose anything when you sync the phone.

  • My PC computer was wiped (virus) including itunes. How do I transfer the many playlists and music to the new re-installed itunes?? Ipod is synced to old itunes. I have all original music files on external hard drive. Please help?

    New itunes is trying to wipe the ipod. But have many many playlists (many hours making) which I want to save. Any help would be appreciated.

    If you want to just extract the playlists from your iPod, plug it in iTunes.  When it appears under devices, right->click on it and choose Export Playlists.  Save them to a location such as your desktop and them import them into your library once you have copied and imported all of your music back into it.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Installed 8.1 and when i synced my ipod it deleted all my music and said my ipod was full

    I updated the software to 8.1, and when I synced my ipod it deleted all my music, and now tells me my ipod is full.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • HT1351 I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....

    Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things.  You either sync or manually manage.
    Manually manage is drag and drop.
    Sync is when you select what you want and then sync.

  • Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

    ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1.  Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos."  In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want.  I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not.  Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync.  Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected.  My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1.  Please help - thank you!

    Providing the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer and you do not have any Restrictions set that wold prevent syncing those songs (Settings>General>Restrictions; iTunes purchases only)
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
