Problems with updating iPod to reflect iTunes

Hey all,
I'm having a problem that I hope someone can help me with. I've had my iPod about a year and this problem has only just developed.
Basically, when I connect my iPod via USB as usual, with iTunes open - It does recognise that my iPod is there, but what it doesn't seem to recognise is that it isn't up-to-date with iTunes.
It says very briefly 'updating iPod' like it should do, but then almost immediately says 'update complete' - Like it would if everything had gone well, except it hasn't. Theres lots of songs I've added, renamed etc since my last update, and it wont update them.
Just to try and narrow it down a bit:
- My software is all up-to-date
- My iPod isn't full
- I've tried different USB ports
- And I've tried everything simple like restarting.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Harry

  • 101 Problems with my iPod Touch and iTunes...Almost

    It really feels like I have 101 problems with my iPod touch and iTunes.
    For some time now my iPod Touch have been using alot of batterypower and the battery is often discharged very fast. It discharges alot faster now than when I brought the Touch.
    Also when I plug the iPod Touch to my computer it doesn't charge, it does the oposite of that, it's disharges and it does that ALOT faster than normal
    There is also a problem regarding connecting the iPod Touch to iTunes. It doesn't connect to iTunes directly after I have plugged it in. It feels really random and it lives it own life it seems like.
    If I accomplish to connect ut to iTunes it doesn't sync every single time. The computer / iPod Touch hangs and nothing happens. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, like I said before - It feels really random!
    Now to a BBIIGG problem. A week ago my girlfriend changed my password on my iPod Touch. When she typed the password into the login screen, it failed, she had forgotten the password / she thought that she picked that password when she changed it. Anywho, I didn't panic becuase I knew that I could lock it up by iTunes.
    But, iTunes gives me a error while trying to restore the iPod Touch saying that there is no update avaiable and after that nothing happens. I tried to do the Sleep / Power + Home trick to set the iPod Touch into a recovery mode but iTunes gave me a unknown error.
    I tried to update iTunes from my version to the new 8.0 version but when I do so it gives me a error saying that iTunes.msi can not be found and it can't uninstall the previous version :S
    So, now I have a unusable iPod Touch, I can't do nothing with it.
    Like I said, It's really feels like I have 101 problems ;D.
    Lucky I have my old iPod so I can listen to Music :P

    Are you running windows xp or vista? I know the solution for vista but not for xp. My mate had the same problem but he has a vista.
    Let me know what you are running.

  • HT2305 Problem  with syncing Ipod classic in Itunes with Windows 8

    I am having problems getting my Ipod classic to sync with Itunes.  Is 2.0.4 the current firmware for me to use with my Ipod using Windows 8?  If not, please let me know what firmware I need to use.  Thank you.

    Hey catwoman001,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far! iPod software version 2.0.5 is available for the iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009). If this is your model, you may want to update the iPod. If you are having issues with your iPod, the following troubleshooting assistant may help:

  • Problem with updating ipod

    I just recently downloaded Itunes onto this computer and It wont let me update the ipod at all unless I restore. It comes up with an error message when the Ipod is plugged in: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes." The problem is, I've restored this ipod 6 times and it still won't let me do anything. i need help!

    Charlotte, that would not do anything to solve your problem, which is related to iTunes and Fast User Switching. Try disabling this feature, restart the computer, and see if that fixes it. Go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts then 'Change the way users log on and off' and remove the checkmark from Fast User Switching.
    If you still have the problem of iTunes not recognizing your iPod, try resetting the iPod while it's connected to the computer: hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo. This will often get it recognized.

  • Problem with updating iPod Classic

    I need to restore my iPod because whenever I highlight the music portion of my iPod the artwork half of the iPod turns white and the iPod reboots itself. All other parts I can go to with no problem. Anyways I try to restore the settings but it says I need to update my iPod to version 1.1.1, I download it but when it tries to install onto my iPod it says it cannot update because the firmware has been corrupted and to unplug and try again. I have tried many times but the same message pops up. So I cannot restore my iPod until I get the new software and I cannot get the new software. Also my iPod is in perfect condition I have only had it for a few months and have handled it very carefully. If anyone has any advice please help.

    Try manually putting the iPod into disk mode, then restore:

    Your content is stored locally on your computer, when you update, it will not mess with your content at all.

    Hi clarity,

    You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:

  • Problems with updating my ipod

    I own the ipod with click wheel (20 GB) and since i updated itunes and the software on the ipod i have problems with updating
    when in connect my ipod to my windows pc it says i should not connct on both itunes and ipod but after at least 2 mins the ipod just connects, itunes still say its still updating and i can't disconnect the ipod from itunes
    i reinstalled the software on my ipod and now the same thing happens, but absolutely no songs being transfered...before it just stopped at 1800 songs...nothing happened
    i kinda suppose its because of my usb drive, it's too slow, but it worked fine before...
    what should i do??? it's pretty frustrating
    M9282LL   Windows 2000  

    Sorry, my fault...
    i wanted to say, the ipod just disconnects itself from the pc...usually there's the sign on it "Do not disconnect" when its updating, but now it just goes back to the menu, while itunes is still updating, at least it say. In the end there are no songs at all copied on the ipod...
    hope this is understandable...

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you help I was having problems with my iPod so I restored it but I accidentally set it up as a new iPod is there any way to restore it from an old  backup when I right click iPod in iTunes there isn't one anyway to recover one or find it on computer

    Hi can you help I was having problems with my iPod so I restored it but I
    accidentally set it up as a new iPod is there any way to restore it from an old
    backup when I right click iPod in iTunes there isn't one anyway to recover one
    or find it on computer

    The following says how to restore from backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

  • I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

    No. In fact, my ipod detects the livebox and the network but I can not connect to the internet.
