I went from a video ipod to a little green nano like 7 months ago and it was working fine until last night. I plug it in to my computer and itunes usually pops up and then it usually syncs itself. Last night i went and downloaded a bunch of song that i liked from the CMAs. I pluged in my ipod to transfer them and all my ipod is doing is charging. It is not being read by itunes. i went to the store and they said to download the new itunes 7.5 so i did and it is still not working. does anyone hav the same problem or know the answer? PLEASE HELPP! MY IPOD IS MY LIFE!!! Thanx

IPods will not sync or even show up in iTunes after update to version 12.1.2.

Last week I had no issue syncing any of my iPods. Yesterday I downloaded the latest version of iTunes (12.1.2) and now nothing syncs. iTunes doesn't even recognize my iPods when I plug them in.

My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?

My Ipod classic will not sync a tv show episode on Itunes

My Ipod classic will not sync a tv show episode on Itunes even though I already have another episode working on my ipod classic and it says it

How is your iPod configured to sync TV Shows? What options do you have enabled from under your iPod's TV Shows configuration tab in iTunes?
No error messsages when you sync your Classic with iTunes? Try resetting all warnings with the device by right->clicking on it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choosing Reset warnings. Then resync your device to see if any errors appears.

HT4235 ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
Thank you Espeon for the article

My iPod Nano will not sync with my brand new Mac Air...will charge

My iPod nano (touch) will not sync with my iTunes on my brand new Macbook Air. It will charge my iPod and give the option to eject the iPod, but it will not recognize my iPod to sync. Any ideas why and how to fix it?

Hey all, I had to call Apple Support to resolve the issue as nothing on the web provided an answer. So for all you out there having the same problem, here's the ituation and full resolution, so you can save time and money (if your product's warranty is expired).
Situation: I bought a brand new Mac Air on 12/7/12 and tried to sync my 6th generation iPod nano (previously configured to a PC) with no sucess. ITunes was only allowing me to charge and eject the nano.
Solution:
1. Go to View>sidebar
2. In the sidebar, click "iPod" under the Devicies category
3. Click "Music" section next to "Summary" under the status bar
4. Make sure "Sync" box is checked with your preferred preferences underneath
5. Click "Sync" in bottom right corner of window
Apparently, iTunes 11 is quite different and the sidebar with usual options and playlists does not appear unless selected in the "View" drop-down.
FINISHED!

HT3798 Ipod Classic will not sync with windows 8 and newest itunes

I have ipod classic, 160gb, with new computer with Windows 8 and latest version of Itunes - came from xp and previous version of itunes - and never had a syncing problem.
All my songs are in new itunes on new computer, however ipod will not sync. Have received -50, and duplicate file name - I restored and it will go so far and then freeze. Or I get -53. Have tried lots of suggestions discovered on pages like these... but none have worked. I do see there is a problem with classic and new itunes - does anyone have any solutions??
Thanks.....

Well I finally figured out the problem, not thanks to anyone from Apple for that matter. You would asume this problem has happened before and is still happening. The problem was I couldn't copy certain songs anymore from iTunes to my iPod Classic. When trying to copy certain songs I got an error.
If you have this problem it means your song file is corrupted. You can simply check this by trying to copy it from your hard drive to an external hard drive. Here you will also get an error message.
This means you need to replace all the corrupted files by a back up on your hard drive or download it again. I did this and now everything works fine.
Hope this will solve a lot of problems.

Iphone will not sync any of my music from itunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i sync with itunes, the contacts etc sync, but no music. I have tried the restore option and it still will not sync my music. Please help, as this is a major problem.

Ok...I'm new with the iphone but I did notice one thing.
When your iphone is plugged in to your itunes, from the "music" tab...you have two options, 1. Sync all music and playlists. 2. Sync selected playlists.
I noticed that I couldn't select and drag entire cd's to my iphone, I had to create a playlist, drag the music there, then sync the selected playlist from the "music" tab of your iphone menu.
It worked for me...but I haven't read the manual or anything for the iphone. I'm sure there is an easier way to get whole cd's on iphone.
I'm not really sure what to do because I have much more than 7 gigs of music...and if selected sync all songs and playlists my iphone might explode.
Please let me know if there is an easier way than what I came up with.

When I loaded the new ios7 software I found that now the kindle app will not sync my "furthest page read" from iPad, or vice versa. Can someone help me?

When I loaded the new ios7 software on my ipad, I found that I could not sync my iPad with the kindle app. I hesitate to delete the app and reload it in fear I will lose all my books. Can anyone help me?

Ask in the kindle forums.
Isn't all your kindle stuff archived by amazon, so that you can't lose it by deleting the app? In any case, nothing to do with Apple.

3.1.2 - iPod will not sync photos even if there is space available

The previous post's subject was not capturing the fact that the issue applies also to firmware 3.1.2.

Er.. is the file > then 1.03 GB, or is the total size of the files you're transferring greater than 1.03GB? If it's the former rather than the latter, FAT32 (the file system the iPod is formatted in for Windows) can't really transfer huge files. So... you may want to break the file into chunks, perhaps. If it's a bunch of files totaling 1.03 GB, then I haven't got a clue. I've transferred more than that in one go.

My ipad will not sync checked songs, playlists, genres, from itunes.

I have tried to sync updated checked songs, playlists, and genres, from my itunes to ipad without success. I have tried over wifi and usb cable. Neither will work. What are the possible solutions? Is this an itunes or ipad problem?

I don't know how long I had this problem, but I noticed it after recent upgrades in IOS and iTunes. None of the suggestions I found online, including the ones attached to this thread, worked until I saw something about moving your iTunes Media folder to a new location on your computer. This article mentioned that older versions of iTunes used a folder called iTunes Music. I discovered that I had an iTunes Music folder in my music library that had my stuff in it as well as an iTunes Media folder that had none of it. Before following the instructions in the article--written in AppleSpeak which I do not--I thought, I wonder if I can play my music through iTunes on my PC? I clicked on a song and got a message that iTunes didn't find it but would I like iTunes to look for this on my computer? YES! And then iTunes offered to find other similar files and I said YES again. This found all my music but one album. When I clicked on a song from that, the process repeated and all my music is now playable in iTunes on my computer and has synced to my iPad Air. During the process iTunes also asked me for my Audible.com username and password and attempted to bring over my Audible books. (This was not entirely successful since I cancelled my Audible.com account when I stopped doing a lot of road travel. But the titles of books I purchased all appear to be there even if not the complete books.) BTW, iTunes does not seem to have moved my music and Audible.com books out of iTunes Music. So I will now see if there is an easy way to consolidate into the iTunes Media folder without breaking anything to avoid problems in the future.

IPhone 3GS (iOS 5) will not sync, stuck on *backing up* in iTunes 10.6.3.25

I recently updated iTunes to the latest update for Windows, since then, whenever I connect my phone and try to sync it just gets stuck in *backing up* for ages.. if I leave it it will be in backing up for hours. I cannot sync my phone or add any content now. I've been told to try and click the *X* in the progress window at the top of iTunes - but doing this does nothing but freeze iTunes for a few minutes - then it continues to *back up*... frustrating. Can anyone help?
Ta very much,

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 the problem has been resolved.
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:
