My new iPod shuffle is not syncing to my iTunes account.

Had an iPod nano before and just got the new iPod shuffle. I have connected it and there is no button showing up for me to sync the device. I have tried restarting my computer, downloading Itunes again and removing the shuffle and turning it off, waiting 10 secs and turning it on again and connecting it.

Does the shuffle's light come ON at all when connect the shuffle to USB? If there is no light, either blinking or solid, make sure the USB cable's plug is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document.

Help Please - New iPod Classic will not sync with existing iTunes library

Please help, I have researched every forum I can find and all the suggested tips have not worked for me. Here is my problem.....
I have a new laptop and a new iPod classic. I have checked and both have the most up to date software. I have logged into iTunes and all the music and films I had purchased previously is showing.
I thought I simply had to log into iTunes,authorise the laptop, plug in my Ipod and then sync the music and films from iTunes onto my iPod.
When I do the there is a message within seconds to say the iPod sync is completed but the iPod remains empty. I can't figure out where I have gone wrong.
All suggestions gratefully received

Problem solved. It seems that iTunes archived my music to iCloud so once I downloaded all the files again they sync'd rght away

New Ipod touch will not sync up with itunes. No error message, it just doesn't sync

I just bought a new 32 gb ipod touch and it will not sync up with my itunes. I don't get an error message or anything like that, it just does not sync up. HELP!

Have you Authorised your Computer...
Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
See Here for full details...

My Ipod shuffle is not showing up in itunes.

My new Ipod shuffle is not showing up in itunes. I've downloaded the newest version. When I set up my account I was not asked to name or register this shuffle. Its a 5th generation 2gb. I cannot find the page to do so.

Hi Brittcal,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would recommend making sure you've run your Windows software updates, and then follow the steps to remove iTunes and reinstall the latest version. Here are a few articles to help you with this.

My new ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.

My new Ipod touch will not sync to my dlink. My two laptops, and Ipad are already on. I have tried resetting and still it will not sync.

What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.

TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes

My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes, and is not recognized by my computer. I am using a MacBook Pro purchased six months ago, with all software up to date. I am using the most recent version of iTunes,and the original factory connector. It does charge through the computer, but is not seen by the computer. I have gone through all of the recommened troubleshooting, and have verified that the connectors are plugged in properly.

Thanks for a reply
The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

TS1363 1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes (windows 7)?

1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes on my Windows 7 PC (but shows up in my computer). Tried all the Apple trouble-shooting steps (some several times). It used to work with Windows 7 on this PC. Are there other steps I can try?

I'm not sure what "all" means, unless you state them, so if you have not done so already, you should use this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle

Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected. Run iTunes. Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
Since this is a first gen iPod shuffle that IS recognized by the computer (so it's probably not a bad USB connector), you can also try using the iPod Reset Utility

This is for the first and second gen iPod shuffle only, and does a lower level reset than using a normal Restore in iTunes.

My new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

How do move my music from iPod to a new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account

My school district installed new computers. The IT told us that our iTunes would not be effected. When I went into iTunes on my new computer, there was nothing there. Obviously I can't plug in my iPod or everything would be erased. They said that there is nothing they can do about this.
How do I move my music from this iPod to this new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account? It appears that it was wiped out. I have close to 400 songs that I use for daily classes. The os is now Windows 7. The old one was Vista.
Thanks for your help.

I have an old nano purchased in 2006. It indicated new models on the page.
Any other suggestions?

Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

Brand new iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes and Win XP Laptop

I have iPod nano and iTunes 7. Just got a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen). Neither iTunes nor my laptom recognize the iPod Shuffle - it is not even getting charged. I tried all the tips from the offical support, but nothing works.
Should I just throw it away and get a new one or is there a way to make it work?

Ipod shuffle will not sync songs Error -50

Hello i recently got a new ipod shuffle last week and now it wont sync with my songs. it only syncs one song out of the album. im using windows Xp
HELP?!?!?!

One song out of the album? Are you only syncing a single album to the iPod?
How is your iPod configured to sync? In other words, is it set to sync you entire library? Are you syncing specific playlists? Specific artists or albums? Are you auto-syncing or manually managing your iPod?
