On-the-go playlists not syncing despite latest versions software
The subject says it all, really.
I have an 8GB ipod touch, with software version 2.0.1, and iTunes version 7.7.1 (on Vista, I should add)
I've read all the archived posts, and the solution seems to be to upgrate to the lastest software, but that was quite a few versions ago, and my ipod has NEVER sync'ed my on-the-go playlists.
I've also tried the turn it off and turn it on again trick to save the playlist, and nothing.
I manage my music in manual.
Does anyone have anything I could try to sort this out?
Oooh I wish I could help, but upgrading from 1.1.4 to 2.0 actually did fix this issue for me. Something happened when I did the January Upgrade that totally jacked up my ability to sync OTG playlists - made me so mad. When I upgraded to 2.0, they started syncing again. I always attributed the mess to playing around w/ the manual vs auto syncing when I was trying to get the January Upgrade on without having to restore.
And I hate to recommend this, because I hate the idea of restoring, but have you tried clearing it off, or restoring without a backup, and starting fresh? That's a poor way of fixing it, but that is my only recommendation

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes on new laptop. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...
Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok. -
On-The-Go Playlists not syncing correctly
Hi all,
I have the 4G iPod with b/w screen, and my music library is on a relatively new Windows PC. I have had only very minor syncing problems besides this one. I always update iTunes and my iPod software to the latest versions.
When I create an On-The-Go Playlist on my iPod and sync it to iTunes, the playlist shows up correctly as "On-The-Go 1", "On-The-Go2", etc... but the songs in the playlist do not match what I added by holding the select button on my iPod. The playlist includes some of the right songs, but others are seemingly randomly placed in it, including podcasts.
The amount of songs in the original playlist don't match up with the synced version. I am positive that I'm not accidentally pressing any buttons.
I thought that this was a problem with the iPod's "index" of where the songs are stored in it and that simply restoring the iPod would fix the problem, but that didn't work. I don't really want to rebuild my iTunes library but I guess I'd have to if that was the solution. I am currently running a HDD scan from the iPod's "secret" diagnostic menu and will report back with the results. I am also planning to take the iPod in to my nearest Apple Store for a look.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any information you could possibly posess that would even remotely relate to this subject.IPod Updater Bug Report
Re: On-The-Go Playlists and Podcasts
* Problem:
o When an On-The-Go Playlist is created and the iPod is synced, random podcast episodes are put in the playlist. The episodes occur in both the iTunes and iPod versions, but only after the iPod is synced.
o When the iPod is connected and selected from the iTunes Source list, the podcast episodes are listed along with the grayed out songs, but they arent in the iTunes song list.
* Solution:
o Whenever new podcast episodes are downloaded, delete all information in the ID3 tags except for title and comment, if used. To view ID3 information, right click the podcast header or a specific episode and select Get Info.
* Known iPods/Operating Systems affected:
o Windows: Yes
o Macintosh: ?
o iPod Mini: ?
o iPod with Click Wheel and Black and White Screen: Yes
o iPod Shuffle: No

They are charging so the ipods are ok. looking at the Apple support it tells me I should have an icon pop up under the header "devices" on the left hand side of the screen, but I cant find this, I only have options on the right hand side. I have read throgh many notes and tried different suggestions, the only thing I havnt done is reset the ipods because im afraid i will not be able to sync again. Can anyone help please? Thanks
Dear all,
Today I tried my iphone on an other window XP computer (a computer where no itunes was installed in de past). And I made another account for itunes on that computer after installing itunes. The connection was perfect and my iphone could syncing with itunes, no problemes at all. After that I tried my iphone on my own computer with the new account for itunes, but there was the same crash and restart as in the past (problems in sector one of the harddisk?). Now I'm sure for 100% that there is a computer problem and not an iphone problem, caused by interrupting the syncing procedure by myself through using the iphone. I hope the problem can be solved in the near future, cause I can imagine that I'm not the only one who tried to do this.

Iphone 4 does not syncing with latest version of itunes
Dear other users,
My iphone 4 was syncing really great for several weeks on my windows XP computer. Suddenly it was not possible syncing anymore. Probably I used my iphone 4 while syncing. Now when I push the USB cabel into my computer the computer crashes and starts up in the 'save mode'. Even after re-installation of the newest version of itunes there is no live between the iphone 4 and my computer. When I try to sync itunes starts up for only 1 second, and then the computer starts up again. In stead of the text: 'iphone fond on your computer' (when pushing USB cabel into computer) I can see the text: Digital Still Camera. So probably the computer recognises only the camera from the iphone????

iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update. I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
My most recent playlists will not upload from iTunes desktop to the iPhone. Is there a limit on number of playlists that can be synced to the phone?
OR am I failing to complete some function related to this process? iPhone manual does not seem to contain data on this issue.what are we all doing wrong, or have we identified a flaw in the 3GS? I've had mine about 3 weeks. The 'ipod' button displays the 'No Content' message and the iphone does not sync with itunes even though the computer say it has! I downloaded 'Avatar' from itunes yesterday...it will not pass to the iphone, i have even tried the restore option, and wiped out all my paid for apps, but still no transfer of information. There seems to be no section to cover this in any Apple 'expert' solutions links...very disappointed.

I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.
you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere. Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac
Hello,
I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Is there any setting that I can try?
Any procedure that I should try?
ny other suggestions?
Thanks much!
ErikBefore i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days. -
I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync. I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address. Any ideas out there please?
It might be logical to someone, but not to me. I agree it's a pain.
How did you change your Apple ID? Creating a new one is not what you want to do, but if you changed the ID associated with your purchases then that might have worked. You would need to sign in with the Apple ID on both your iPod Touch as well as in iTunes. I'm not sure how you changed it but clearly they need to match.
If it's just your password that is not getting recognized reset it here: http://iforgot.apple.com/
It will send an email confirmation to the email address associated with that Apple ID. The email address you elect to use might not look anything like your Apple ID. If you don't appear to get an email check your spam filter. -
the phone could not synced beacuse this computer is no longer authorised for purchasing item that are in this item
this problem is faced on synced new songs, videos or picture.. plz say the solution about this topicHey nani91191,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may simply need to authorize your computer with your Apple ID:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12303
iTunes 11 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12511
Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases: Choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
If you are using a Windows PC, you may need to turn on the menu bar to access the "Store" menu:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7

i restored my ipod after backing it up but now all my music and apps that are in itunes on the computer will not sync across
Did you restore the iPod on this computer?
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
