My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

  • Itunes wont sync music to ipod

    i had an itunes library created and then we reformated the hardrive and had to re-install itunes and all my music was gone. i got some more music but every time i try to sync it to my ipod it says that ive got to "erase and sync library" because you cant have more than one library per device.. does anyone know how to fix this problem without erasing my entire ipod so i can keep everything on there and get my new music synced?

    It's becuase the old itunes database file got erased when your PC got wiped.

  • Itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c

    itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c, skips music portion of sync and gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied"
    also wont remove cloud downloaded previously purchased songs during sync, i have restored the phone from my old one that was destroyed, but other than that sync pretty much doesnt work at all for photos or anything else.
    plenty of available space on brand new phone
    IOS 7.0.4
    itunes 11.1.3.8

    After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and  I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.

  • Trying to sync music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing

    I am trying to sync my entire iTunes library music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing (using Windows 8 laptop)
    I have tried to do it manually in little chunk and also tried the auto sync method too.
    I have restored my ipod to factory setting 12 times now and retry but just when I think I'm getting somewhere iTunes freezes in the middle of the sync and then tell me it "cannot copy  because of unknown error (-50)"
    From then on my Ipod refuses to accept any more syncing, it may do one and then it freezes again, iTunes says there is an issue with iPod, so I run a scan fix, it is repaired but then iTunes wants me to "restore to factory settings" again, it's a never ending circle, I get it fixed, iTunes crashes and then I have to fix, restore and start all over again just to have the same thing happen all over again
    I have read here and there that there seems to be a bug in iTunes 11 when it comes to syncing.
    I don't know what else to do, except revert back to iTunes 10 but I don't know how to do that either.
    Anyone else had same issue syncing their library over to their iPod and how I fix it?

    Hi, ktchinagirl. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple reason this issue could be happening.  I have included a couple troubleshooting resources below that may help resolve this issue.  Some of the articles are missing the steps for Windows 8, try the steps for Windows 7 as an alternative. 
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting

    This could be related to security software conflicts.  If the steps above have not resolved the issue, I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • ITunes wont sync music to iphone

    Itunes newest version wont sync music or videos to my iphone 4.   it syncs apps but not music  this is weird.  anybody else have this issue after upgrading to 4.3.5?

    Wow!  Apple really doesn't give a flip, do they?  I wish I'd kept procrastinating about installing iTunes on my newer pc.  My old pc was out of room to sync again, so I'd put it off for months.  But, since I'd purchased quite a bit of music, I really wanted it backed up.  Finally got it to install, "synced" my phone, only to lose about half of my music.  At first, it was only the cd's I'd added.  So, I went back to my old pc to use the tried and true, and after updating iTunes, and syncing my phone on it, I lost even more songs - songs that I purchased on iTunes.  So, now Apple has virtually "stolen" my music.  They are committing theft.  If I can't get the songs off of my pc and onto my phone, then the songs are of no use to me.  I don't carry my pc around to play music.  Naturally, it failed to sync my most played songs.
    This is ridiculous!  I didn't even run out and buy the iPhone 5 the minute it came out.  I waited, I thought, for the bugs to be fixed.
    I went from over 2100 songs down to 362 songs on my phone.  Songs I purchased just a few months ago won't sync. 
    Samsung isn't outselling IPhones just because they have "new" stuff, they are outselling them because IPhones are a jip.  Unless this is fixed super soon, I'll never purchase another one.

  • Itunes wont sync files to ipod touch

    My friend's wife has been bedbound for years but before she could no longer use her desktop Windows 7 computer, she had gotten hundreds of songs in at least 10 playlists.  She recently bought 3 CD/DVDs that she wanted me to rip with itunes and sync to her ipod touch 2.  The ripping went fine, if a little slower than I would have thought, but the songs played fine in itunes.  When I plugged the ipod touch in, it did not sync on it's own even though "Prevent iPods, IPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" is not checked.  I clicked on the device and tried to sync it to the pod touch, it didn't copy the files on to  the ipod touch.  It said:
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 1 of 3)
         Waiting for sync to start
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 2 of 3)
         Preparing to sync
    Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 3 of 3)
       Waiting for changes to be applied
       Preparing to copy items
    Then nothing.  I can sync again but it just does the same thing.  One time it took the Preparing to copy items a minute or two, but most times it just flashes by.  I actually had to do a screen capture to make sure what it said.  The songs and videos are not copied and they do not show up on the ipod touch.  She does not have sync all music checked as she has lots of songs she doesn't want on the ipod, just selected songs with the checkmark by them.  The new songs have the checkmark, and I even tried copying the new songs into a playlist that was already on the ipod touch, but did not work.  I deactivated the computer from itunes, uninstalled and reinstalled and reactivated.  Still no copy.  She was on an older version (maybe 11) so I upgraded to the newest 12.0.1.26 which didn't help either.
    Once I manage to get the songs on the ipod touch, she can move them around to where ever she wants them though the ipod touch, and then we plug in a dock for her to listen to it through the stereo.  Any ideas on what else to try to get the songs and videos on the ipod touch?

    What happens when you do this for the apps that do not sync?
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Itunes wont sync music to my iphone 4 after iOS 5 update

    after my iOS5 update on my iphone 4 Itunes changed a few settings. I had it set up that my iPhone would have music and no photos synced. And my iPad2 All Photos would sync and NO music.
    After the update and sync, my iPhone will not sync Music, With in iTunes under the Device iPHONE and the Music tab there are the tracks of music but they are shaded and i am not able to play from there. On my phone there no songs.
    Yes I have the boxes checked in the music tab of the iTunes area to Sync ALL.
    Thanks

    Right.........Problem Solved!
    1) Back up all of your stuff that you want!
    2) Restore your Phone (This totally wipes everything so make sure it's backed up)
    3) Then turn apps off for syncng and sync music
    4) That should sync music onto it.
    5) Then sync any apps you need.
    This (with the help of a Genius in the Apple Store and took about 1hour and a half) worked for me!
    Good Luck

  • Itunes wont load music onto my ipod touch

    Ever since i updated to ios 4.3.5 and itunes 10.4, itunes wont transfer my music to my ipod touch 4g. It just says finishing sync and wont do anything else. Please help me

    If it is purchased music from iTunes make sure your iTunes is still authorized on your computer.
    If it is, try to manually sync the music to the ipod touch. Below is an article that will assist you in doing this.

  • Itunes wont sync Music to Iphone 6 Plus

    I have just purchased an Iphone 6 Plus and have tried to restore the backup from my 5S. Everything syncs apart from the music. Music I have purchased and saved will sync but nothing else will.
    Searching the community posts I have followed every procedure that has been explained to no avail!
    I then rest the phone to factory settings, and just set up as a new phone, I then manually added everything and again itunes will sync everything apart from the music. I can add and take away films, ringtones, pictures with no problems but Music, it just doesn't seem to be interested in anything unless I have purchased the items.
    This includes me trying to manually add files as well as attempting to sync.
    I have also deleted the music from the settings before attempting to sync and this does not work.
    This has all started since the implementation of IOS 8. Having searched your forums this seems to be a popular problem with many reporting the same problem.
    Apple can you please sort this out!!!!!

    I have the same problem with the iphone 6. No matter what I do I cannot sync my music. I can download music I've purchased from Apple, but cannot sync, which means all of my other music is just stuck in iTunes. I'm going to try to call somebody, but if this isn't going to be resolved soon, my phone is going back. I don't need 128 G of empty space.

  • ITunes freezes when syncing music onto iPod after restoring

    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation. This thing has become my life, but it has given me ungodly amount of problems since the day I got it. It is updated and always remains that way. Well, due to the amount of problems I had I decided to start fresh and restore my iPod. It seemed to work which was great. I slowly built things back onto it: first all my apps, then photos and onto music. When it came to my music, iTunes would seem to freeze on one song and stop syncing. This has gotten very frustrating for me.
    Am I doing anything wrong? I mean, I restored it completely thinking that it would be fine and act as a new iPod again. Obviously I was very wrong.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
