Songs won't sync into my iPod, this is a weird one!

So. I try to sync my 30G video to with my iTunes. (yes, it's the newest update of itunes)
Everything looks right, iTunes shows the status bar on the top, saying for example"transferring songs, 200/1000 Metallica - Master of Puppets, etc.", and it transfers all the songs, no error messages or anything (takes the normal time too, about 15 mins.
Then, when I try to find the songs on my iPod, they are not there.
So, then I restored the iPod to factory settings, and now I have NO (0) songs on it, even though I've tried to sync it many many times.
On the iPod tab, where it shows the bar with all the stuff on your iPod, it even says "5Gt video, 5Gt music" etc..
Oh, and if I try to sync the songs for the second or third time, after restoring, instead of saying:"5Gt video, 5Gt music" etc, the bar just says "10Gt OTHER".
Any help would be appriciated, I'm getting pretty frustrated over here...

This could be a case of drive letter confusion on your computer.

  • What if a certain song won't sync into itunes

    I have song on my iphone that won't sync into itunes for some reason!!...and I don't know what to do.

    itunes still sells the track as a song, so obviously you can.

    I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

  • ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

    Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
    HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
    WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
    I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
    A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

    I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

  • You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    With your playlist in "List view", click on the header over the column of numbers all the way to the left.  This will then reveal the true playback (and sync) order.
    However, the sort order in iTunes may not agree with the sort order on your device, but that is a separate issue and seems to have too many variables to go into here.

    Hi NYYJMM,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

  • Music from Amazon- is in ITunes Library but won't sync/download to IPod

    I purchased music from Amazon. It downloaded to ITunes Library but won't sync/download to IPod (Nano 4th gen.) Plays with no problem on my Mac Pro but can't get it downloaded to my IPod. How can I resolve?

    If you right click on the song it will give you an option such as Create AAC version or Create mp3 version.
    To control what option appears  Preferences, general.
    At the bottom right is a button called import settings. This will start another dailog box where you can choose which encoder to use
    Select Mp3 version.
    Go back to your song and create an mp3 version and see if that synces

  • Select songs won't sync

    Some songs I bought on iTunes won't sync with my iPod nano. I bought the Children of Men soundtrack, and of the 10 songs I picked from the album to upload, only 3 of them will play. The others appear, but when I try to play them, they get skipped over without playing. Anyone had a similiar experience and ideas on how to fix it? Do I need to redownload the songs?

    Try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • HT4095 Half my TV season won't sync to my iPod Classic. I just want what I paid for.

    I downloaded the series of a TV show in HD and SD, but something must've happened in the middle of downloading because now only the first half of the episodes are also available in SD, even though they were ALL available in SD at the beginning of my download. So now I can't watch the other half on my iPod. (And iTunes won't let me create an "iPod version." It won't let me click on it after highlighting the four episodes of that season that won't sync to my iPod.)
    I feel like I have been completely ripped off on this purchase because of it, and I don't know whom to go to about it although I've been attempting for almost an hour. I just want what I paid for. :/
    Help me, please? <3

    There is a way to sync your HD tv shows and movies to your ipod.  When you go into your itunes account - select purchases - select TV shows or movies, select the show or movie that you want to sync, now on the bottom of the screen uncheck the box that reads download HD when available.  This should create a standard definition show for you to sync to your ipod.    Hope this works for you!

  • My iPod (2G)'s cable won't go into my iPod's slot all the way.

    The cable won't go into my iPod's slot all the way. I'm not really sure why it does this though. I mean the cable that connects to the iPod simply sticks out at the right end. Normally I shouldn't be able to see any of the metal that is the cable. Also I'm positive that the cable isn't broken, I've already tried my house mate's iPhone cable. It appears to sync alright but when I try to charge it it'll show that battery plug symbol inside the battery meter at the top right hand corner of the screen. What I mean by this is that my iPod's battery could show that it is about 50% full and when I try to charge it it'll say it's completely full. Any ideas on how to fix this? Should I call the support line?

    Are you saying that the iPhone cable works right? Did the iPod cable ever work? Have you carefully compared the cable that did work with the one that did not work?

  • I have moved my music to my new mac air but now it won't sync with my ipod or my iphone 4s

    I have transferred mymusic to my new mac air from an acer laptop via an external hard drive and it's all there on the mac but now itunes won't sync with my ipod touch or my iphone 4s.
    With the ipod it says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device " It also doesn't show up at all in the devices section.
    With the iphone it says there isn't enough space to sync even though I have experimented and unticked various things including photos which takes up a lot of space. It seems like it wants to sync with the empty space on the iphone (very small!) and not with the whole thing. I have tried various things suggested on this forum but have had no luck.

  • Import audio book to itunes but it won't sync to my ipod

    I am at a complete loss. I have been importing audio books from the public library to itunes and then putting them on my ipod for months. All of a sudden the books won't sync to my ipod. Songs work ok, but my audio books don't. The little sync icon spins and the itunes screen says it is updating but it only lasts for a few seconds and the book is not on my ipod. I have done everything I can think of including restoring my ipod back to the original settings which lost everything. I don't know what else to do.

    Might you find the answer here?
