Problems sync'ing iPod with iTunes
I purchased some episodes of The Office through iTunes recently. Initially these episodes appeared on my iPod after sync'ing. Now, when I sync, the episodes will not transfer to my iPod. They appear in my iTunes account, the checkboxes are checked, but I can't get them on my iPod.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any thoughts?

Disregard.
I found an option in iTunes where you can set the Play Count to zero. When this is set to zero and you sync your iPod, all content appears on your iPod.
Not sure if this is the best solution, but it works.

When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.
Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

Cannot sync my ipod with itunes
when i try to sync my ipod with itunes i get a message saying
"songs on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
please please help me...when you connect your ipod to your computer, click on your ipod in itunes and go through all the tabs, making sure that your ipod is set to automaticly sync your playlists.

Trying to sync my iPod with iTunes and I am getting this message:"This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the ipod"... I have deauthorized and reauthorized the account and still getting the same error. I have read and followed the instructions in the support article TS1389. I do NOT have an SC info folder at /Users/Shared/ directory to delete.
I just installed Lion yesterday, and am running iTunes 10.4. First attempt to sync since upgrade.
Thanks
DanYup,
Me too...this is stupid, stupid, stupid. Just purchased my 200 (ish) mac and now I am told that my new Mac Book pro is not "authorized".
Which if my 200 macs are authorized. Can someone please tell me???
I "deauthorized" my old MBP and still told I cannot use my iPhone with iTunes.
Interesting that my old $2500 MBP, my new $3000 MBP and my $500 iPhone all cannot work cuz of some pinhead's decision to use this assorization process.
Yes I am very, very, very mad. -
I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?
A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
It is simply a list of songs in the library
Do you want the playlists or not?

Do you want them copied back into iTunes? -
MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?
Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer. This started happening after the latest download and my latest purchase. The latest purchase doesn't show up on my iPod and itunes freezes at synching step 2 on 2. Any suggestions?
You should Reset your iPod, by
1. Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 Secs till the Apple Logo comes ON.
2. Disconnect the sync cable.
3. Check the iPod Welcome screen, select language, go to menu (if you are lucky, your music are still on the iPod.)
if your iPod doesn't show the Welcome screen, bring it to Apple Store.
If the above is okay, (can see Menu but no Music)
4. Close iTunes and Reboot your PC.
5. Start iTunes
6. Connect the iPod to the Sync cable.
7. if iTunes ask to Restore, please do so.
8. Sync your iPod. ( I would advise you to disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus program when doing this.)
Good Luck. -

Why can't I sync my ipod with iTunes 7.0.2?
I'm using itunes 7.0.2 and am having problems syncing my ipod. I have recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, including itunes. My whole library was lost. When I reinstalled itunes the library was empty and so it erased all the songs off my ipod when i connected and synced it. I later filled the library in the newly installed itunes and now when i want to sync the ipod it says "Songs on the ipod "XY" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I also can't update manually,so i'm basically left with a useless ipod.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
J
Windows XPThank you for your effort but when i create a new smart playlist and choose it as the playlist to sync to, i get the message "You changed your ipod settings. Would you like to apply them?" When i click APPLY, i get a new message, saying "The ipod "XY" cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)." Also, my nano goes to charge mode (no "don not disconnect" sign) as soon as i get the old message "The ipod cannot be updated because the playlist no longer exist"...

how do i sync my ipod with i tunes on a new computer when i don't have access to my old computer?
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

HT1351 I am trying to sync my iPod with iTunes on my Windows PC.
When I connect my iPod to my Windows computer I get the message that "your iPod is already associated with another library". I do not want to lose the music that I already have installed on my iPod. The old computer that this iPod used to be synced with is gone and I have a new computer now with iTunes installed. How can I save my present library on my iPod and also add the new library that I have installed on my Windows PC.
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
