I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three would not sync. I updated all software, checked authorizations, and reinstalled the apps -- no luck. Any ideas?

All the apps state they are compatible w/ my model iPod Touch. No restrictions are set that would prevent syncing. Seems like I might have had a similar problem a while back with one app but can't recall the solution -- it was something simple.

A youtube movie clip will not sync with Ipod classic

I downloaded a short movie clip from youtube using Vdownloader. The clip downloaded to my movies in Itunes.
However it will not sync with my Ipod classic, and comes up with the error message "the olympics opening sequence was not copied to the Ipod, because it can not be played on this ipod."
Previous movies using Vdownloader have copied to the Ipod okay. I am running on Windows XP.
Any help would be appreciated.

Let's just say that if your mvies are rent or bought, they are possible for snycing on your classic, but if they are downloads they won't be able to sync on your classic...

Itunes will not sync with ipod touch

itunes is installed with the latest version of itunes. all of a sudden, itunes will not sync with my ipod, itunes sees it, when i click to sync it goes through the motions, but never syncs. I get no messages or errors, it just never syncs. the ipod is seen in my computer as a portable device. windows 7 64 bit system. I had the apple store verify the ipod is fine, they emailed me the directions to uninstall all apple apps and reinstall. still, same thing. some of my playlists will not let me move songs within the playlist either, i get a blue border around the songs when i try to. not all of the playlists, only random ones

iDevices are not backup devices... restore your media/playlists from the backup of your computer.

HT1369 Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync with iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple sloution?

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Apps will not Sync with iPod Touch

Hi,
I bought three new Apps this morning thru iTunes store. They will not sync with my son's i-Pod Touch. (The Apps are compatible with the iPod Touch). When I plug the iPod into the computer and I click on the Apps tab at the top, the screen is grey and I cannot click or unclick the 'Sync Apps' button. What can I do?
Thanks for your help!! It is much appreciated.

- Is the iPod connected to the computer it was last synced with? Syncing is different than manually managing music.
- On the iPod go to Settings>Store and see who is signed in. To change, just log out and sign in the correct account.

Itunes will not sync with iPod

I have a new computer and have transferred all my music from the old computer to my new computer. I now have over 100 songs that will not sync to my iPod. I have gone through all the steps to "deauthorize" all my old computers, authorize my new computer, validate my two apple accounts (I ended up with two over time) and verified my passwords are correct. I have done everything I can find recommended to others, yet when when I try to sync my iPod, it tells me I am not authorized for all my music. Even when I login (which works), I still cannot sync my music. Any other thoughts....

I'm not sure how to reset or restore the iPod. I turned it off and on a couple times and that didn't help.

HT1386 After restoring iPod to its original settings, iTunes will not sync with iPod

I restored my iPod Nano 4th generation to original settings and now when I try to sync it with iTunes, only a few songs will transfer and I get a message saying file could not be found. Some of the songs in my iTunes library were transferrred from another computer and the files somehow did not transfer. However, even the songs I purchased recently will not sync. I have tried downloading the latest version of iTunes and restarting my iPod. Help!

Why will Apple notes will not sync. with iPod or iPad

Why will Apple notes not sysc with iPod or IPad from Mountain Lion?

IMAP is a type of e-mail account.
http://whatismyipaddress.com/imap
Apple says you can use an IMAP account to sync notes, but I haven't yet spotted how you set this up. iCloud is easy and free, though, and for me at least has worked quite well to sync my notes among all my devices.

Movie TITLE is in GRAY and will NOT SYNC with iPod

Hi Folks,
Just imported a short home movie into my Movie Folder in iTunes for Windows. It shows-up in iTunes just fine, and it PLAYS - in iTunes - just fine.
Trouble is...when I sync my U2 Video iPod, the *Title for that home movie is in gray* - not black like the others. I check the box so this movie will sync, I hit sync...and it does NOT transfer to the U2 iPod.
All other movies (titles in BLACK) transfer/sync just fine. The one in GRAY does not.
I did try the "Make an Apple Ipod Version" i.e. Convert...and the file it creates exhibits the same behavior: it shows up in my Movie folder, I can play it WITHIN iTunes for Windows, but the Title of said movie is in GRAY when I attempt to sync and it will NOT transfer. Please help! Anyone? Thanks!

Hi - The first one is .mp4 and then when that didn't "sync" (but DID play in itunes) I used the itunes menu choice to "convert" to ipod use...that one came out with an .mv4 extension (both files same size and both say H.264 codec in 'info').
So,to sum-up, neither the mp4 nor the mv4 would sync to my iPod...yet both would appear - and play just fine - within itunes. Upon syncing, the title of both goes gray.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Movies and TV Shows will not sync with iPod Video 80gb -

Okay, here is the problem:
I have an iPod Video. Previously, I have had roughly 20 movies that I ripped from my OWN DVD's to mp4 format. They all played fine and synced fine with my iPod.
Then I updated my iTunes version to 7, and now I cannot get the Movies or TV shows to sync to my iPod. I get no error message. I cannot get them to sync manually or automatically. I spoke to tech support and they refused to help me because they only offer sync support for content purchased from iTunes. Of course, when I told them that I had purchased several TV shows from iTunes, they told me to send an email to the iTunes store and have them let me re-download the tv shows??
What is going on here? It worked fine before? Same iPod, same computer? The movies are either mp4 format or h.264?
Help!

I'm having extremely similar problems with my ipod right now
The only differences are: I have a 30gb and I already have movies on my ipod, it just won't let me add anything new to it!
I have about 12gb of free space left (the movie I want to add isn't that big)
I can manage (add/delete) songs and photos on it, it's just not letting me do anything with my movies! It keeps saying this whenever I try to copy my movie to it "[movie name] was not copied to ipod because it can't be played on this ipod." Which is total BS because there are already about 34 movies/music videos on it!
Help!!
Oh, ps, it's not letting me put album artwork on there anymore either... due to error code -50 (which I have NOT been able to find any help articles on!)

ITunes will not sync with ipod when music is not on C drive in Windows 7

For years I have used various versions of windows and itunes, always having my data on a different drive that the system with no issues. I am currently using Windows 7 RC1 and generally finding it far better than Vista.
My problem is that although iTunes works fine as an installation (downloading songs, ripping CD’s etc), however when I try to sync either of my iPods they get ejected before the sync can take place.
iTunes and windows recognise the devices before the device tells me it can be disconnected so the intial communication is ok.
Having done the usual research there are other people with the same issue, and it seems to be specifically to do with the fact that the data is not on the same drive as the OS. I have confirmed this myself as I have a second machine that is also running Windows 7 RC1 but that only uses a single drive/partition, and this machine and install of itunes will sync with both ipods with no issue. Likewise a different vista machine has no problem syncing with the ipods.
So can anyone help solve this problem without having to move the music folder to the C drive?
I appreciate windows 7 is not officially released yet and that an official windows 7 compatible version of iTunes will probably fix the issue, so please add this to the list of bugs if I have to wait for the official release.
Thanks

Songs on Authorized Computer Will Not Sync with iPod

I upgraded the hard drives in my computer that contained my iTunes library when one of my RAID disks failed. I was able to recover all of my data (all documents, photographs, songs, etc.) but I had to reinstall Windows XP and all software becuase the OS was compromized on both RAID drives (why, we don't know). (I've read the "helpful" advice from Apple that you should "deauthorize" your computer...before the hard disks crash! If I knew they were going to crash, I would have done more than "deauthorize" my computer.)
When I installed iTunes, it looked into my disk and found my music library. Two things happened:
1. Some albums, but not all, got split up so that a few songs were separated from the balance of the songs on an album. This is a real problem when I want to listen to a symphony and only three of the four movements show up, for example.
2. All of the songs that I had downloaded from the iTunes store were now “unauthorized” on my computer. Although it made me upset to waste an “authorization,” I went ahead and authorized the computer (although all I had done was recover a disk that could no longer be played). Then I tried to sync my computer to my iPod. All of the iTunes downloaded music did not appear on my iPod. In fact, when I sync, iTunes says that my downloaded music is not authorized to be played on this computer and, hence, isn’t authorized on the iPod even though IT IS authorized on the computer (i.e. I can play it on iTunes from my computer just not from my iPod).
BOTTOM LINE:
I have been unable to figure out how to get the music that is now "authorized" (again) on my computer to show up on my iPod so that I can listen to it on the iPod.
I also need help to reassemble my "albums" so that they include all of the songs that were orignally part of them.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Well, you'll have to look at this article to see if it will help for the albums getting split up - I have no idea why that would have changed, but see if the "Compilation" checkbox helps.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468
Those directions are for itunes 7 - in iTUnes 8, the compilation checkbox for multiple items is on the Option tab.
And for the song not going to the ipod, try this for just one song - remove it from your itunes library (but NOT your hard drive!) and then re-add it back into itunes. It might go to the iPod then.
Nobody has ever posted back whether this works, but you're not alone on authorized songs not syncing to your iPod. More and more folks are seeing this since itunes 7, esp with older purchased songs. Newer purchases seem to sync just fine.

Movies will not sync with new 1.1.2 version

Has anyone had this trouble? I installed the latest update 2 days ago and now none of the movies I have converted will sync. It will start to sync the movie, then i get a Windows error message asking if I want to report the error. When I click yes or no it shuts down iTunes. All of the movies sync'ed perfectly fine until I updated to the latest version for my iPod Classic 160 GB. Now I can't get any of my movies to sync. All of my movies were on DVD and decrypted with DVD Decrypter and converted with either Jodix or Videora. I have updated to the latest version of videora but still the same problem. Everything else works and syncs fine. Also, I can play all of the movies in iTunes without a problem. Any advise would be appreciated?

Hi guys! I was having the same syncing problems. Here’s what I did.
iTunes was running when I completed the following steps.
First, go to your Home folder under your account.
When you get there double-click on the "Library" folder. Inside of the "Library" folder, double-click on "Preferences" folder. Inside of the "Preferences" folder find and delete the following files.
1. com.apple.iPod.plist
2. com.apple.isync.plist
3. com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
4. com.apple.iTunes.plist
5. com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
Empty your trash to make sure they are gone.
Next open up the window, which represents the main hard drive. You can double-click on the icon on the desktop, or click once on the left-hand side panel in any window.
Now, go the "Library" folder in this window and double-click. Inside of the "Library" folder double-click on "Preferences". Inside of "Preferences" find and delete the following file:
1. com.apple.iPod.plist.
The next group of files I found and deleted was by sheer luck. I was doing an Spotlight search for any other files or folders that had anything to do with iTunes or iPod.
Here is a list of files and folders I found and deleted:
iPod Games (folder)
iPodInfo.plist (file)
iPod.framework (folder – was listed twice in the Spotlight search)
iPodSync.framework (folder – also was listed twice)
iPod (file)
iPodSync (file)
To be honest I am not quite sure where the **** these files were. I took a partial screen shot of the window, but did not get the pathway in the shot. Idiot!
Anyway, here is where I think these files live.
Start by double-clicking on your main hard drive icon on the desk top. Then in this order double-click your way through the following series of folders:
1. Developer
2. SDKs
3. MacOS10.5.sdk
4. System
5. Library
6. Frameworks
7. Kernel.framework
8. Versions
9. A
10. Headers
11. IOKit
12. usb
I believe the files are either in the "IOKit" folder or the "usb". I deleted them all, and emptied the trash.
Next, I went back to iTunes, which had been running this whole time.
Click on your iPod icon, and go to the Summary tab. Click the “Restore” button. This will of course remove all of your songs, movies, TV-shows, everything from your iPod, but it will not destroy any files in your Music folder. Movies files by the way are inside of Music folder of your iPod library.
After you iPod restores, quit iTunes. Restart your computer (just to be sure).
Done! All but three of my movies now sync; all songs sync; all TV shows sync. My iPod is running great and so is my Mac.
Do I recommend all of this? No way! I don’t even know what I was thinking! All I can say for sure is that I tried it and it worked for me. Good luck!!
