My music won't sync onto my iPod!

I recently updated my iPod to software 5.0.1 and while doing so it deleted everything off my iPod which I was prepared for. But when I went to sync everthing back onto my iPod everything such as my apps and calenders synced onto it but not my music. On itunes when I plug my iPod in, it says in the capacity bar that my music is on it but when I open the music app on my iPod it says No Content. When the iPod syncs it syncs all my calenders but skips over syncing my music. I feel it might be because I haven't got the latest software for my Mac. Please Help! It's not a iPod without music!

- Try unsyncing all the music and then resyncing
- Next try restoring from backup
When you are connected to the computer, what does iTunes say how musch is taken up by the "other" category in the colored bargraph?

Music won't sync onto my ipod touch 5?

please help!! i added some new music onto my itunes to put on my ipod touch 5 and when i tried to sync it last night it would never complete the process, getting stuck on step 6 of 6 for ages, eventually i gave up ejected it and thought i could wait to listen to my new songs tomorrow.. then when i looked at my ipod's music after it only has about 1,300 songs compared to my usual number of roughly 5,700 ??? it's making me pretty worried and i don't want to restore my ipod because i'm not sure how much of it is backed up and have lost everything before so i'm really not in the mood for that again lol. this morning i tried syncing it just incase and it went through the steps quickly and was finished in about 30 seconds, but still didn't put the rest of my music on... did i accidentally untick something while playing around with the settings? i also have tried restarting both my laptop and ipod, i would really appreciate any help as i'm listening to my ipod all the time !!!

if the status bar is what i think it is then it was saying 5405 items, 14.9 days, 36.33 gb ? but the bar that shows how much storage is taken up by what showed my ipod to only have the 1,300 something songs, i'm not sure what i did but i just pressed sync again and it's loading all the music back on for now

Videos won't sync onto my Ipod Nano 3rd gen

I just bought my Nano 3rd gen yesterday and I really like it. The issue is I converted a few videos using videora to play on my ipod. After converting the videos they show up in Itunes. The videos are in MP4 format and they even show up in the 'movies' section in Itunes. The problem is when I click Sync up, none of the videos sync onto my Ipod. I haven't used Itunes in awhile, am I doing something incorrectly?

This is the first time for me to use an iPod to sync videos, so I looked it up. What you have to do is select the video you want to sync after importing to iTunes. Then from the Advance menu choose convert to iPod. Then you will be able to sync the videos.

My iPod had music on it previously from my old computer but won't sync the new music I bought on my new laptop? The songs I bought appear in the library, but they won't sync onto my iPod?

I'm going on a hike tomorrow with my dad and I'd been reluctant to download iTunes on my new laptop but finally decided to install it so I could have new music for the trip. I bought nearly ninety new songs, all of which appeared in my library, and on my account they are shown with my old songs. But my iPod isn't syncing the new music? Really I planned to start from scratch and not have them together, but that would be fine if they would just download. I don't understand. They're in my library, but won't download to my iPod.

My music won't sync to my ipod

when I go to sync more music to my ipod from my itunes library, the circle spins for about a second and my music doesn't go to me ipod. please help?!

So on the device you select the music app and nothing is listed?
What about in Settings > General > About? Does it show any music on the device?
If it does, try a restart or reset of the device.
If that does not work, connect the device to the computer.
Uncheck the option to sync Music and sync.
Re-check the option to sync Music and sync.
Does the media now show on the device?

The easy and quick way to fix this is to connect your iphone to itune...
1.Go into your iphone (Top right of itune).
2.You'll see 3 different topics in bold - Iphone, backups and options.
3.Go to options and uncheck all the boxes (make sure you remeber what was been check before you uncheck anything in the boxes).
4.Check only - manually manage music and video and press apply (bottom right of itune).
5.Wait for it to finish the process (it should delete everything).
6.Then it is up to you.... either go by each tap and sync each one (info, apps, tones, music, movies, TVshows, podcast and photos) or uncheck manually manage music and check whatever it used to be before you unchecked everything.
7.All done, Everything should be working perfectly.
Please shared to other that needed help

TS1420 I updated my ipod to 5.1.1 and now it wont sync downloaded music onto my ipod. All the music I purchased through itunes went on the ipod during backup restore and my downloaded music went into my itunes library but won't sync onto my ipod.

I updated my ipod touch to 5.1.1 and did a system restore. All of my purchased music from itunes went back on along with photos and apps but now it won't let me sync music that I downloaded. All of my music that was imported from cd's synced but not my downloaded music from internet. They went into my itunes library but they are a light gray and have a little sync symbol next to them. I've tried dragging them into different folders but nothing is working. I read that others were having problems with this update but didn't get any answers.

After you have updated your device to version 5.1.1, have you tried resyncing everything from your iTunes yet?

I just updated my iTunes to the new software. When I plugged it into my computer and it said I need to reset my iPod. I did this and everything on my iPod deleted. Now, it won't let me sync my music or apps back onto my iPod. What do I do?

It doesn't say anything. It runs through the sync process like normal and tells me all of the songs that it's synking. But then when it says I can disconnect it, nothing actually synked.

I recently bought some songs from itunes, and I tried to sync my mac air laptop to my nano ipod, but it didn't work. I usually use my PC computer to do this, and my music is in the itunes library on my mac, it just won't sync to my ipod. Any ideas?Thanks!

When I sync up my HD videos won't transfer onto my IPOD- Why? How can I fix this?

I have an IPod Classic... I'm trying to sync up my HD videos- tv shows but they won't transfer onto my IPOD. Anyone know why?

Ok so HD video is not supported, which explains the problem so what is the solution? Do I have to put it through a converter to make the data and bit rate smaller? Would that even be possible?

Music from Amazon- is in ITunes Library but won't sync/download to IPod

I purchased music from Amazon. It downloaded to ITunes Library but won't sync/download to IPod (Nano 4th gen.) Plays with no problem on my Mac Pro but can't get it downloaded to my IPod. How can I resolve?

If you right click on the song it will give you an option such as Create AAC version or Create mp3 version.
To control what option appears Preferences, general.
At the bottom right is a button called import settings. This will start another dailog box where you can choose which encoder to use
Select Mp3 version.
Go back to your song and create an mp3 version and see if that synces

HT2527 Music won't sync to ipod

I have purchased some new music on itunes on my computer with windows 8. Wehn I try to sync my ipod the music won't transfer to the ipod. Any thoughts?

You can only automatically sync all media to one computer/iTunes library. You can sync music and videos from any iTunes library/computer if you use the manual method included here:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you wan to make this your one syncing computer/iTunes library:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
