My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

I installed latest version of itunes on windows 8 computer but my ipod touch will not sync all albums

I installed the latest version of itunes on a widows 8 computer but my ipod touch is not syncing all the albums. Why and what can I do to fix it?

Does some music sync?
Does the not-playing music play in iTunes?
Is there anything different about what does sync and what does not?

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.

IPod Touch does not sync any info

hey there, my problem is that my iPod Touch does not sync anything from the "info"-section shown in iTunes, neither Contacts nor Calendar nor Mail Accounts...
In contrast it's no problem with my iPod nano (1. gen).
i hope that someone can help me. thank you and excuse my shabby English. _
everytime i try to sync Contacts and so on, i get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync 'Contacts' to the iPod, because the Sync-Server can't sync the iPod" (i tried to translate the originally German message...)

Im having this problem as well and it really defeats the purpose of having a calendar on here if it won't work. Mine seems to only want to try to sync one of my 6 calendars I want to carry with me, but even then that one calendar doesn't update all events. It's very selective/random.
I also find that the odd photo album is randomly ignored. But the iCal sync is important for me. Why Apple just doesn't allow a direct link from iCal allowing multiple calendars is beyond me. If the iPod Touch is running a copy of OS X anyway, why not just make the Calendar app basically identical to iCal? And make it work!

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.

My Ipod touch does not sync with my Windows 8.1 I cloud calendar? it syncs from windows computer to itouch but not vice versa

Make sure you are entering the events on your iPod in the iCloud calendar and not something else such as On My iPod. Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) to be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default.

Brand new IPOD touch does not work w Bose speaker docking station is there anything that needs to be done?. The Nano that I have works fine.

My new Ipod touch is not working with my Bose Speaker docking station. My Nano works fine.
Any reasons for this?

Does Bose say it will work with your model iPod and iOS?
Does it appear that the iPod fully seating in the dock?

Downloaded songs on my ipod touch does not sync into my library

When i download songs or music videos directly on my ipod touch from the itunes store it does not sync into my library when i plug the ipod into my computer. Although they do show up on My Device when i have connected to computer. but not in library. I tried to drag into library and or playlist but no luck there either.But the apps i downloaded did transfer to my library.I do not have my ipod set up to auto sync .But thought i could do it manually by dragging.Help would greatly be appreciated.

Dragging won't work, but you should be able to click on the device, then choose File>Transfer Purchases, and see your music and videos on the computer.

IPod touch won't sync all songs in playlist

My son bought a brand-new iPod touch yesterday. He has been trying to compile his playlist and sync it to the new iPod. He has 41 songs on his playlist and only 22 of them will sync. They are all in the iTunes library and the iPod library, but not on the playlist. We tried changing Settings>Music>Group by Album Artist>Off, and that doesn't work. We've also created new playlists and tried syncing those, and that doesn't work either. Today, I noticed that my iPod Touch is doing the very same thing. We have the most recent software and many of the songs were purchased directly through iTunes.
Any thoughts? We've had my son's iPod for 2 days and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I am paying Apple support for help on something that seems to be an inbred error on their part.
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem as well and tried so many of these solutions, but no luck. I just got a new laptop with windows 8 and when I hooked my iTouch4 to my computer it only show 36 songs out of 509 of the ones I have on my iTouch. (I was freaking out because I thought windows 8 had something to do with it, but as usual I was being paranoid )
I found a way to put the rest of my music on my USB and hooked it to my laptop and put that music in a separate folder. I had all of them play onto iTunes. Now they all worked on iTunes, but I realized they didn't really sync onto my iTouch. To test it out a bought a new song on iTunes and clicked "sync" onto my iTouch, but nothing happened.
So I started searching for answers, but none of the methods solved my problem. So I started messing around with it and realized that the problem was ACTUALLY A SIMPLE SOLUTION.
So this is what I did...
1) Start playing one of the songs that won't sync to your iTouch4
(don't know how to sync all songs at once yet)
2) Now right click at the top bar of iTunes where it shows the song playing
right click on album picture
3) Then scroll to "Add to Playlist"
the arrow of "Add to Playlist" will show a list of your own playlists and the name of your iPod
4) Click on the name of your iPod Ex) Robert's iPod
5) Then (you can stop playing song at this point) click on iPod device
This should right away take you to "Summary"
6) Instead of being on "Summary" look for "On This iPod" - Click it
7) Now "On This iPod" show a list of all the music that is currently on your iTouch
(including the song you just added from iTunes by following these steps)
8) Make sure all the songs you want in the list have been marked with a "check mark"
9) Then click "sync"
Check iTouch to see if song downloaded...
*If not then - still on "On This iPod" - click on "Autofill"
(Wait for it to load)
Now click "sync"
You should now have the songs on your iTouch as well!
It's a simple solution, but I haven't seen anyone advicing it and I wish they had so I didn't have to go through all this trouble
Hopefully this helps!!!

New Ipod Touch will not sync correctly

I had an Ipod Classic that was recently stolen, apparently by AirTran employees. Anyway, I got a new iPod Touch to replace it and it will not sync.
There are problems even getting it to connect. The first time I got it connected, I thought it synced. I could see the list of songs, but I couldn't get any of them to play. I finally realized that they were greyed out and not clickable.
I hooked back up to iTunes and tried again. It seems like it is syncing some songs, but times out.
Apple Support said to disable the antivirus and firewall on my Windows 7 PC. This does seem to help some, but it doesn't solve the problem. I've gotten a lot more songs synced, but not all of them. It syncs some of them and then stops.
What is more, it always gives a different number of songs to sync. It has been as high as 900+ and is now down to 121 of 229 and frozen again. Total songs in my library is about 3000. I'm guessing that the number (229) is the remaining number of unsynced songs, but I'm not sure. At times it seems almost random.
Sometimes the sync just stops and sometimes iTunes totally freezes as it has now. I have the most up-to-date version of iTunes. I reinstalled it yesterday when I was having problems with my iPad (a totally different issue: It crashed after I installed OS 5. That is fixed now though.)

I have run into that problem before, but that is not what I'm currently seeing.
As an update, I finally did get the iPod to sync. It would time out after syncing for a while, but with repeated syncs it finally loaded my full collection of music, etc.
A recurring problem is that when I want to sync, often the iPod will not show up as being connected to iTunes even though it is connected to the computer. It often takes multiple attempts at connecting and rebooting to get connected so that I can sync.

8gb Ipod Touch does not sync, many other problems

Hello - If anyone has advice i would greatly appreciate it -
Here's the deal. I was given an 8gb ipod touch for christmas last year. The device worked for for several months, one day however it got stuck in a loop where error (9) kept coming up saying that I needed to restore my ipod to the factory settings. I did this and when it finished verifying the installation process it would give me the same error. I took the ipod into the apple store and they tested it on their computer and it worked fine on that, however the took it anyway and gave me a free new one which came a couple days later.
Since I have had the new one i have still had the same problems. I successfully was able to get my applications onto the ipod touch however when i tried to sync the music the ipod would freeze. When I checked the available space on the ipod it said that only 1.2gb remained eventhough there were no songs on the ipod at all. I tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes many times, i do receive an error message a lot on my computer saying that bonjour service is having issues and can not be accessed, but there is nothing that I do on my computer to cause this problem. My itunes again, with the new ipod touch, is asking me to restore the ipod to the factory settings again. Anyone have any idea what is going on or how it can be fixed?
Thanks

When it tells you new hardware is found, do you have the option to search the Internet instead of a CD?
Be sure you turn off all antivirus, zone alarm, firewall etc. Go into Control Panel and check the Security settings as well as the task bar in the lower right corner. Make sure all those are disabled. Then try again.
If still no luck, or you seem to be having USB problems, verify your USB is being recognized by XP by following these steps:
1. From the Start menu, right-click the My Computer/Computer icon and choose Properties from the shortcut menu. The System Properties window opens.
2. Windows XP and Windows 2000: Click the Hardware tab.
Windows Vista: Click Device Manager. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
3. In the Device Manager section of the Hardware tab window, click Device Manager. The Device Manager window opens.
4. Double-click the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" entry.
5. Double-click the name of each USB Host Controller that appears under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" entry. A window with the name of the installed USB Host Controller appears.
6. If necessary, click the General tab. If the USB card is working correctly, you should see "This device is working properly" in the Device Status field.
If still no luck, look at [Updating the drivers on your Windows PC|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1768?viewlocale=en_US]particularly for updates to the CD or DVD drive, graphics card, sound card.

New IPod Touch will not sync with Itunes-updated to iOS 7.1.1 for new IPod

Just purchased new IPod Touch (purchased 6-3-14 - had a Classic until it fried). After setting it up, I tried to sync to ITunes and it says it syncs but does nothing. No music transferred to IPod. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 if that means anything. This is very frustrating as I am not a computer whiz and really want to use my IPod in my really long commutes to work. Thanks for any insight...

Hi abbeyesque,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your iPod touch is recognized and syncing, but it isn't transferring the content that you expect to be transferred. Take a look at the article linked below, it will show you how to select the iPhone in iTunes and where the tabs are (second picture) that control what is synced to the iPod.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Sync using USB
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

Brand new ipod touch will not sync?

Bought a brand new ipod touch. Tried to sync to iTunes on my computer. Checked all music in library, clicked sync, ipod says it is syncing, computer says sync is complete, but there is no music on the ipod. Have repeated process a dozen times. Have tried automatic sync and manual sync. Have disconnected, reconnected. Have restarted both devices and tried again. No error message, gigabytes show nearly nothing used up, on the computer and on the ipod, even after it says the sync was successful/is complete. Argh, help!?

Hi jen,
When you say all of the Music is checked, do you mean checked in the library? When you hook up your iPod to the computer, you also have to make sure that the "Sync Music" box is checked on the Music tab for the Device Profile....
Cheers,
GB
