New I pod not syncing

I bought an used I pod to replace broke one.
the used one will sync for about 1 sec. then says ok. nothing transferred. help.
is it a setting ?

Hey there wint,
It sounds like your iPod Classic is not syncing correctly with your iTunes library. I would use the troubleshooting from the iPod Classic troubleshooting assistant found here:
iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
This should get your device syncing correctly.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

    Hello there, Capricious13.
    There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:

    You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in  Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to lastest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
    You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

  • My new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes

    my new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes.  I am on a Windows system

    Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded?  If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized.  With iTunes open, click on Store at the top.  Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them.  Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

  • New computer will not sync recent purhcases to ipod

    I haveadded a new computer to my home sharing network. I was able to transfer my existing music library and to make new itunes purhases, but the new purchases will not sync from the new computer to my ipod

    Maybe the drive letter on your exHD is getting changed. If it is F: one day and you plug in a different USB device, Windows can nicely change the exHD's letter to G: for you. That would make itunes not be able to find the music, since itunes is looking for it on F: Not G:
    Assign the drive letter permanently.

  • New Laptop, iphone not syncing

    I have a new laptop (Windows 7, intel i5, 4gb) and have installed the latest iTunes software.  I have an iPhone 3G.  The problem is that the iPhone does not seem to be recognised by the laptop.  It doesn't begin to charge when plugged in and it does not sync with iTunes.  The cable is working correctly when used with plug charger.  Any ideas?

    USB ports are all functioning with no problems with other devices.
    And the cable is working correctly too.
    I have tried the troubleshooting but some of the options are not visible on my computer.
    I have no idea what to do next.
    I have reinstalled itunes and the associated drivers.  The phone still does not sync or begin to charge when connected.  Any more ideas?

  • New Yahoo contact NOT syncing

    Hi
    I am ready to pull my hair out! I have spent the last hour trying to figure out why a new contact in my Yahoo Contacts is NOT showing up in Contacts in my ITouch (16 GB). If I add, e.g. a phone number to an already existing contact, then sync, it shows up in my Itouch Contacts. But I cannot get this new contact in, even though I have added phone numbers and addresses. I enter the info in Yahoo, then I connect my itouch via itunes, go to Info tab where "Sync contacts with Yahoo Address book" is checked, no I haven't changed my password, click the SYNC button below, it syncs, but the new contact is not in my itouch. I then went to the bottom of the info tab and clicked ADVANCED Contacts, then apply, and that didn't work either. Any ideas....please!
    Ruth

    I'm not sure if this will help or not, but i was running into a similar problem and it was because I had a few birthdays listed for some of my contacts and did not include a year with the birth date. These contacts would not sync to my iphone. Once I removed these birthdays, they synced fine after that. Other contacts that had birthdates but included the year always synced fine.

  • New software will not sync

    Since I downloaded the new software for 3G iPhones last night, my iPhone will no longer sync to my computer. It will stay in "sync mode" (where the phone screen says slide to cancel) for about 10 seconds and then it stops and just stops syncing all together. Even though I updated to the new software last night, it still says I need to update to new software, but when I try, it extracts it and then when it tries to install, it gives me the error "could not sync ^0 to sarah's iphone because an unknown error occurred (-19)."
    Does anyone know what could be causing this?

    HOWEVER, my iphone 2G has not yet been able to update to the new 2.1 firmware. It downloaded and then following the downloaded software extraction, the error (-19) came up. Now, my 2.02 firmware iphone refuses to remain in the sync mode. It just appears to be charging. Is this an itunes 8 problem?

  • New iPad will not sync music, podcasts, or photos

    So I sync'd my new iPad yesterday and cannot figure out why my music, videos, movies, photos, and podcasts do not sync. All of my apps carried over, but that's it. I might have 2 seperate email accounts associated with my iPhone and my iPad, but I don't know how to get them on the same account. Any help?

    Hi and welcome........
    I might have 2 seperate email accounts associated with my iPhone and my iPad, but I don't know how to get them on the same account.
    Merging two different e-mail accounts isn't possible but you can use multiple mail accounts on your iPad. Tap Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / Add Account. Do that for each mail account you want.
    cannot figure out why my music, videos, movies, photos, and podcasts do not sync.
    Make sure iTunes recognizes your iPad.

    Try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    assuming yur problem is that the iPad does not appear in iTunes.
