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?

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

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

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

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:

I have moved my music to my new mac air but now it won't sync with my ipod or my iphone 4s

I have transferred mymusic to my new mac air from an acer laptop via an external hard drive and it's all there on the mac but now itunes won't sync with my ipod touch or my iphone 4s.
With the ipod it says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device " It also doesn't show up at all in the devices section.
With the iphone it says there isn't enough space to sync even though I have experimented and unticked various things including photos which takes up a lot of space. It seems like it wants to sync with the empty space on the iphone (very small!) and not with the whole thing. I have tried various things suggested on this forum but have had no luck.

ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

HT1351 some of my newly purchased music won't sync

Some of my newly purchased music won't sync, even though I converted it to the proper format.

Music purchased from the iTunes Store does not need to be converted before being used on iPods. Music from most other sources, such as Amazon, is in MP3 format and does not need to be converted. So, can you explain "even though I converted it to the proper format"?

My apps won't sync to my ipod, any ideas why?

I've downloaded a heap of new apps but they won't sync to my ipod. when i drag them onto new pages and hit sync, everything else will sync on but the apps remove themeselves. I hace no idea why, so if anyone else does know, please help me out.

Are the apps compatible with your mode iPod and its iOS?
Have you successfully synced apps from this iTunes library/computer before? While you can add music and videos from any iTunes library, you can only sync apps from the one syncing computer you can have.

I got a new laptop and now all my music will not sync to my iPod touch. How do i fix this??

My old latop crashed and now i am using a laptop from work. i signed into my apple account. I downloaded 4 cds to my iTunes, and restored and updated my iPod touch 3rd generation. i tried syncing all the music on my account to my iPod, and it will only sync 48 of 600 or so songs. The 48 songs are from the 4 CDs. How do I get all of my previous music which does show up into my iTunes music library to sync to my iPod. HELP

While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

Import audio book to itunes but it won't sync to my ipod

I am at a complete loss. I have been importing audio books from the public library to itunes and then putting them on my ipod for months. All of a sudden the books won't sync to my ipod. Songs work ok, but my audio books don't. The little sync icon spins and the itunes screen says it is updating but it only lasts for a few seconds and the book is not on my ipod. I have done everything I can think of including restoring my ipod back to the original settings which lost everything. I don't know what else to do.

Might you find the answer here?

My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open up music i purchased on itunes. I started having this problem when I updated my ipod

My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open or play music i purchase on itunes. This problem occured when i updated my ipod.
Thanks

I also have a 4G ipod touch and a similar problem. Since I updated to the ios5 software any new songs I add to my iTunes don't sync to my ipod main playlist. They show up in the 'recently added' playlist, but not in the main 'songs' section. I fixed the problem once by restoring to factory settings and rather than reinstalling from a backup, I created a new ipod name and synced everything onto my ipod as if it was new.
This worked until the next new song I added and then the same problem started all over again. If you do reinstall everything as new, you may want to take a screen shot of where all your apps are and make sure all your photos etc are saved, as everything will be from scratch. Hope this helps!
