My iTunes wont sync with my iPod classic

"posted in iTunes discussion as well as im not sure if its a problem with iTunes or my iPod*
A few days ago my iTunes wiped my whole library except my purchases from the iTunes store.
Luckily i was able to recover my library by using a old library file but ever since then i've not been able to sync my iPod
When i connect my iPod the iTunes and anything else that is running on my computer goes real slow and i've tried reinstalling iTuns and restoring my iPod but it's still happening.
When my iPod comes up on iTunes after a while it says "can't be synced.the required folder cannot be found".
it's also coming up with "attempting to copy to the disk IPOD Ipo" failed.this disk could not be read from or written to."
any ideas how to fix this?

still having this problem,any help please?

Help! I can't get three movies that I purchased from iTunes to sync with my iPod classic. Anyone have any suggestions?

When I sync my iPod classic with iTunes, it doesn't download three movies that I purchased from iTunes. Anyone have any idea why and what I need to do about it?

We could if we had a little more information.
What is happening when you try to sync them?
Any error messages or numbers?
What version of iOS are you using?
What country are you located in?

Some of my songs in iTunes wont Sync with my iPod, Why?

My itunes wont sync with my ipod touch, it comes up with the message -42404

can someone help please? when i open uo my itunes the message :
'A required itunes component is not installed. Please re-install itunes (-42404)'
is shown and i have uninstalled itunes 2 times and re installed it and its still doing the same thing!
Please if someone could help that would be great x

Maybe:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.

Are you sure your iPod Classic is configured to sync podcasts to your device? You'll want to double check by taking a quick look at your iPod's Podcast configuration tab in iTunes.
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes when it appears to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Podcasts tab and select it. Under this tab you can configure how and what podcasts are synced to your device. If you make any changes, be sure to click theApply button in the lower right hand corner.

Have iTunes version 10 .3 but do not understand cloud in iTunes 11.03 can someone explain it and also how do you find duplicates in new version and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which I have had for 4 years

I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

I recently got a new computer and it wont sync with my ipod. How can i get my music and stuff on my computer

I recently got a new computer and it wont sync with my ipod. How can i get my music and stuff on my computer?

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

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.

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

My itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

my itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

Does iTunes 12 work with the iPod Classic ?

Does iTunes 12 work with the iPod Classic ?
Or do I need to stay with iTunes 11.4 ?
Thanks

Thanks, ( you just got your first 10 points, congratulations! )
Ever since the iPod Classic was discontinued I have stopped purchasing music on iTunes. So I did not have a compelling reason to upgrade.
I have heard others having troubles and I got concerned that perhaps Apple had dropped support for the Classic on iTunes 12 because it was discontinued.
Thanks for helping.

I just got a iphone 4 and it wont sync to my itunes. My itunes will sync with my ipod touch just fine but doesnt even reconize my iphone. How do i get my iphone to sync?

Hey RavenDawn1002,
If you have a Windows computer, you'll want to run through the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you have a Mac, then use this article instead:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Have a good one,

Itunes wont connect with my iPod?

My itunes program wont connect with my ipod. It will charge it sometimes but after a little bit of time, sometimes the ipod will say that charging is not supported with this accesory. Also when the ipod does connect in itunes it says that an unknown error has occured when connecting to my iphone. But im connecting an ipod touch. So im really confused and thank you for any help.
Oh and its a 4th gen ipod touch that is white if that helps. i got it back in november last year.

I'm also having this problem but it seems only to have occurred once I introduced my iPad Mini to iTunes (this may have been coincidental of course!). The cable I'm using is the one which came with my iPod Touch version 4.2.1 (bought on the 23rd of July 2010) and the cable still charges the iPod as it always has. I don't have the luxury of being able to try logging in to iTunes on any other computer but I've tried absolutely everything that has been suggested in the support pages. I really want to delete some of the music from this iPod but I think I need to be able to sync with iTunes to do so. Is it just that my 3 year old iPod is just too old for the latest version of iTunes?
Any suggestions would be most gratefully accepted.

My iTunes wont sync with my iPod classic
