Problems with syncing - unable to add music to ipod

hi
just got my ipod and tried to load 3.4gb of music to my 2gb ipod nano. Itunes said it was too big and and created a playlist based on my prefernces to fit and behann syncing to ipod. I did not want this and pulled the usb cable. I then deleted all playlists and created new ones to fit to my ipod. However when i now try to sync to ipod i get a message saying "songs on the ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selecting for syncing no longer exist" and there are no songs on my ipod. Can somebody please advise what to do???

OK, that is iTunes's way of telling you that the file is not compatible.
Try playing the file in another media player such as Windows Media Player to make sure it is a valid MP3.
If it doesn't play in any player, it needs to be replaced.
If it plays in WMP but not in iTunes, it probably has some minor corruption, and needs to be treated with a tag repair tool such as MPval.

I own an iPhone 4s come across a problem with syncing music to my phone.

I own an iPhone 4s and I have recently come across a problem with syncing music to my phone. Whenever I try to sync it, nine or ten songs get synced then the sync cancels. It only syncs the first song on each album but not for all of them, some of the albums don't sync at all. I have been dealing with this problem for a while. I have updated iTunes to the newest update and iOS 7 to the newest update.

Well, the fact is, you have a carrier locked iPhone...locked to Verizon, to be specific. The only way that phone will work is if it is first activated on Verizon's network. Once you do that, you can then request that Verizon unlock the sim slot. However, once Verizon unlocks the sim slot, I doubt you'll be able to get the phone to work with any GSM carrier in the US. The unlocking of the sim slot is done for International travel outside of the US.
If you want to use Straight Talk, your best bet is to sell this phone & use the proceeds to purchase an officially unlocked iPhone 4S directly from Apple.
Good luck.

Problems with syncing, recognising iPod, thinking it's corrupted...

Hi, I've had this 30GB iPod photo of mine for a number of years now but for a long time it's been having problems with syncing. I've gotten an exciting variety of error messages when trying to sync with my iTunes, from my iPod software is out of date, by iPod is corrupted, to simply that my iPod will not sync for no adequately explained reason. Occasionally also Windows fails to recognise it. This was never too big of a problem because a few songs would transfer usually before it errored out on me, or I'd just unplug it, restart it and plug it in again and the few songs I wanted would go on. (I don't add giant chunks of new music to it that often) However just recently I discovered that about 300 songs were missing from it and I can't for the life of me get it to sync up again to put them back on. iTunes has been saying that An iPod has been plugged in but that it doesn't recognise it, or it'll start syncing and then say "Attempting to copy to disk "CASSIE'S IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." Any help or advice? is my iPod just horribly corrupted in some way and beyond help except for expensive repairs and replacement? Or is this a software thing I can actually fix somehow?

I eventually called an Apple Repair person about my Ipod, who advised me that "it sounded quite serious" and all he would do if I brought it in for repair would be to replace it with another reconditioned unit which would cost me $195! This was a newly "reconditioned" unit that I had just bought, so unfortunately it ended up going back. I've just requested a refund this time because this is the 2nd time this has happened to me in a month! I'm starting to think I was never destined to own an operating Ipod! I think I'll look at a Sony or Creative MP3 Player as an alternate. They seem to have good reviews and they'll probably work first time round! I'm a bit tired of Apple now! There just seems to be too many things that can - and DO - go wrong!

Hello i have a problem with my airport express the music sizzles? Why?
What can i do?

Does the game has the same iOS requirements that your phone has? Games needing iOS7 will not install on iOS6 and earlier.
Did you try to download it to your computer and sync it to your phone after that?
If you can't connect to the iTunes Store, try these suggestions:

Problems with Syncing two different libraries on one mac

Ever since I downloaded itunes 11 onto my mac I am having problems with syncing. We have two libaries on our mac and can still easily move between the two, each keeping our own playlists, and music/podcast libaries. The problem is with the syncing to our ipods. The playlists stay separated, but unfortunately the sync update pulls both music libraries and puts it on each of our ipods. Having very different music tastes, this is a drag.
A second issue - there is still that problem of having issues with purchased music not staying in playlists (on ipod) after syncing.
I've tried looking around the itunes tutorials and articles but wasn't having luck. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, in case it matters, one of us is using an Iphone and the other an ipod touch.

you might have to find a third party program to get those songs off her ipad onto the computer, apple doesnt support that unless they are purcahsed from itunes store because of DRM (Digital Rights Media) another word for copy write. so theres not a whole lot of hope for that, but you can always create a new user on your computer
>user>+ icon>Create new user make it admin
-if they are how ever purchased from itunes you would still make that new user, plug the device into itunes and authorize the computer by clicking store on the top of your screen where file edit and view are, Store>authorize this computer
once thats done you'll then plug that device in to the computer and on the left side of itunes you'll see devices and "Device name" the device its self, right click or control click the name and choose transfer purchases, anything that has ever been purchased of gotten for free will sync onto the computer,
you cant just simplay pull the songs off the device to the computer, doesnt work like that

Help! Unable to add music or change anything in iTunes

For some reason, I am unable to add music to my library. It also will not let me change/modify titles, artists, etc. It will work on my wifes account but not mine. We both have admin status.
I do not understand how this happened. We both have read/write permission. Any idea what is wrong?

had a similar issue about it "not responding properly" and i went back to apple and got a new superdrive put in and have had no problems since.

Problems with syncing Ipad with ITunes: apps won't appear on Ipad and organizing icons won't save

I have a new Ipad 4 for three weeks. Yesterday I start having some problems with syncing my Ipad with ITunes (earlier all was without troubles):
- downloaded in ITunes on PC apps won't transfer to my Ipad - I press Apply and sync, it goes successfully, but apps won't appear on Ipad.
- I tried organizing icons on Ipad from PC, press Apply and sync, it all goes succesfully, but on Ipad icons won't rearrange. But ITunes shows that they are rearranged...
- also I tried syncing my books adding one new book, press sync all books, and new book won't appear. Only when I've chosen every book separately, they transfered.
I use USB for this.
I tried resetting my Ipad, reinstalling ITunes on PC, deauthorizing and authorizing my computer, but it didn't help.
Apple ID are the same on PC and Ipad.
I hope that I'm not the only one with this problem. And also forgive my mistakes if there are any - English is not my native language. Thank you!

I know that it is time consuming and a bit of a pain in the butt to have to do it, but I would backup the iPad, restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup, and sync everything back to the device. It's going to take a while because you have a ton of music on the iPad, but IMO, that would be your best option now.
You could try unsyncing all of the music, and then resync it all again, but that takes time as well. If you are going to spend that much time trying to fix it, you may as well restore the device ...IMO once again.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Problems with syncing Adobe Ideas with Adobe Creative Cloud

Dear Sir/Madam,
Since yesterday (22.04.2014) I have problems with syncing Adobe Ideas (in my iPad) with Adobe Creative Cloud.
Could you please help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I do not understand why there is no professional communication about the problem. I get the impression that Adobe doesn't know that many people use their App as advertised: As a quick professional sketching tool that syncs with Creative Cloud. Not to fix the problem means more people not trusting the cloud idea. I am actually a big fan of the CC, mostly because of regular updates. But the mobile apps seem to fall out of the normal update scheme. Are they not as important as the 'main software'?
When will the bug be fixed? Just to make clear: As there - up to now - is no other way to get the original idea files on the computer the adobe idea app is useless unless you fix the problem and/ or include the possibility to sync files via USB.
Meanwhile my Workaround:
You need Phoneview or another software that shows the files on your mobile device.
Open it - choose "Apps" - click on "Show all Apps" - click on "Adobe Ideas"
Than go to:
Library/Private Documents/documents/data/files/
there you find folders with cryptic names
Download one of the folders
Open the Folder
select all files in the folder and zip them
Change the extension from .zip to .idea
and voila
you can open it with Adobe Illustrator!
A long way, but for now the only solution to get the editable vector file on your computer.
Best regards

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
Here's an example of what I mean:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
I have 3 of these and I really like them.
From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
Good luck!

I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).
