New Ipod won't finish syncing...?

I have just received a new Ipod, a 5th generation touch, and I have been trying to put my music on it all day. I have tried restarting both the ipod and itunes. I have restarted my computer. I have uninstalled and re-installed itunes. I have restored my ipod. I have tried dozens of things and no matter what it continues to get stuck at step 5: Changes Waiting to be Applied, and it will go no farther. I have been at this all day and I'm ready to tear my hair out. Any help would be appreciated.

  • IPod Won't Finish Sync

    So, today I've had to restore my iPod to factory settings about our times now. Every time I try to re-sync all my music back, it'll slow down significantly and stop around after 1700 songs or so (out of roughly 3700). When I try to eject my iPod, iTunes crashes and the files already copied do not show up on my iPod. When I reconnect to my MacBook, it shows everything I copied as "Other" and not "Music." I've tried this several times already and it still won't work.
    EDIT: Make that five restores tonight.

    So now I've also tried connecting it to my Windows PC and restoring it, and iTunes does the exact same thing. It locks up on one song and never finishes the sync, and crashes when I try to eject.
    My iPod didn't start doing this until yesterday.

  • Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

    Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

    I have the same problem.. latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) and latest version of ios (7.1) but it gets stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied" and I can't cancel the sync manually. It doesn't cancel on it's own either (at least not the 8 hours over night that it was syncing) and if I unmount the phone then the phone keeps the sync going (the little spinning arrows in the upper left corner) and doesn't recognize that it's been disconnected..
    I've tried restoring the phone (with little success, managed to get one more song on there) and syncing over wi-fi but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts, anyone?

    It appears that you are trying to sync too much media to the iPod. Check your checkmarks. Also see:

  • IPod touch won't finish syncing on iTunes

    My ipod touch won't finish syncing. it's been on step 7 of 7 forever... it's a third generation itouch and the version of itunes is 10.6, the latest version.

    First, try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
    See if you can sync after that.
    Are you syncing podcasts as well? If yes, try without selecting podcasts, or delete the podcasts on the device before you sync.

  • WON'T FINISH Syncing . (error -48)or 1033, -69

    Itunes WON'T FINISH SYNCING. (error -48)or 1033, -69. It hangs up on a new song each attempt. I have deleted the sticking song each failure.
    Here's what I've tried:
    A) unchecked all Recently added songs and delted skipped disc tracks, as well as
    those mp3's brought over via drag n drop.
    1) updated Itunes, restored Ipod 14 times.
    2) restored ipod from PC/Itunes 12 times.
    3) updated USB drivers and uninstalled and reinstalled
    4) ran MS disk scan /repair 15 times.
    5) tried all 4 USB ports
    6) ran diagnostics and it said it couldn't find Ipod, (although in itunes margin it showed Ipod). I clicked HELP and it took me to an apple support page that had nothing to do with my particular error/ diagnositc result. OF COURSE , THAT WOULD BE TOO LOGICAL!
    Diagnostics should trouble shoot this until it's fixed. No such process.
    Any help?

    Bump. I am having this problem also on my 160 GB Ipod. I have restored a ton of times and have use multiple computers to load songs from (thank God for my EXT. HD) If any one can help i would greatly appreciate it. Thank You.

  • My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

    My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

    Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device.  Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud.  If someone deletes them, they are gone.  If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

  • 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.

    just got a ipod 7th generation and having some difficulty copying tunes from 5 generation to new ipod; cant seem to sync old with new. any suggestions?

    Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane.  This brings you to the Summary tab.  Locate and click on the Music tab.  What configurations do you have made from under this tab?  Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

  • My new ipod won't synch or restore

    My new ipod won't synch. It comes up need to restore, then can't be restored.  Error code 9.  Security disabled.

    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    Try a different computer.

  • My new ipod nano does not sync the ipod name cannot be synced the required disk cannot be found

    my new ipod nano does not sync the ipod name cannot be synced the required disk cannot be found

    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.

  • My new ipod won't sync with itunes and does not show on windows

  • Why won't my new iPod Touch 4th generation sync audiobooks?

    I have tried to sync my library from my old iPod Classic to my new iPod Touch, but it will not sync my audiobooks.  I have eyesight problems and my audiobooks are important to me.  When I connect to my computer and pull up iTunes, it shows the audiobooks are there, but when I snyc, my iPod doesn't even show a catagory for Audiobooks.    Can someone help me. 

    I feel so stupid!  I found the answer in the "More like this" area. 
    Here is an excerpt from the area that helped me:
    "he solution (someone already posted this, but not as emphatically) is  simply to *SCROLL DOWN* within the "books" tab when your ipod/iphone is  connected to itunes and you have selected it on the left pane.
    This  solution is not obvious if you have a smallish resolution monitor, as  audiobooks used to appear at the top. Now, the text books are  exclusively at the top. So, if you don't have any text books in your  library, everything looks mysteriously empty."

  • New ipod won't sync purchased music from itunes library

    I just purchased a new ipod and when I try to sync my library it will not transfer any purchased songs that are in my library.  All the songs are checked and I selected sync all music.

    Do these purchased tracks play in iTunes?  What other options do you have enabled from under the Summary and Music tabs for your iPod?  Are you saying non-iTunes purchased tracks sync okay?
