Songs wont sync to my ipod

when i goto sync my ipod i get this pop up saying (songs on the ipod"my ipod"cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist) so if you know whats wrong can you plz help me

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Purchased Songs wont Sync to ipod?

Iv'e just recived a 8G ipod nano for my birthday with an itunes gift voucher. I purchased some music and then tried to sync it with my ipod but on the computer it comes up with a message box saying that it 'cannot transfer select songs because you are not autherised to play them on this computer". So I went in to the "store" option in the itunes browser and selected "autherise" but it then tells me its already autherised. So I tried to sync again but it came up with the 'you are not authrised to play this song' message again. It's strange because i can still play it on my computer but it wont sync to my ipod. What can I do?

Hey there,
Have you tried deauthorizing the computer first and then authorizing it again to see if that takes care of anything? Give it shot. Hope it helps.

Songs wont sync to ipod (greyed out with circle)

Bought song on iTunes store downloads and plays in iTunes but wont sync to my ipod? Apparently this is an issue cause its happened to me a lot lately. This shouldn't happen but there is a quick fix without downloading anything or resetting anything that I have figured out. First delete all greyed out songs from any playlists then go to song In iTunes delete the song or whole album and choose the MOVE TO RECYCLE option. Next go to recycle bin and highlight all songs and or albums choose RESTORE. Now go to iTunes choose ADD FOLDER TO LIBRARY then add the folder or file back to iTunes it should now sync perfectly. I think there are other ways but this to me is the easiest as of now I don't really understand why its necessary for only some songs. Hopefully someone from iTunes or apple or whatever can figure it out. Hope this helps.

Is the problem with my ipod or the computer? i download alot of music from the internet and i dont want this to keep happening!

Do you have an iPod Nano like you say or an iPod touch? You again posted in the iPod touch forum.
For your problem See:

Also see the links on that link for other useful informaion on your problem.
In the future just update/reply to your original discussion rather than starting a new discussion.

My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

Purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmark

purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmarks for each one

If the songs are greyed out, you may have set up automatic syncing with a different iTunes library.
Set your iPod to sync manually, as described here:

After syncing once with your current iTunes library, you can set it back to autimatic sync.

When i download apps from itunes they wont sync to my ipod touch?

when i dowload apps from itunes on my laptop the apps wont sync to my ipod touch?

Do you have the correct boxes checked to sync the apps to the iPod?
Is the iPod signed into the same aiTunes account that purchased the apps?
Are the apps compatible with your iPod model?
Have you syncd apps to your iPod before?
Have you tried downloading the app directly to your iPod? If you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased them you will not be charged again.

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

How come my books wont sync to my ipod?

I just bought some new books for my ipod Gen 2 and they wont sync to my ipod... whats going on?

Have you double checked to make sure these Books (not Audiobooks) are configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under theDevices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summarytab. Now locate the Books tab and select it. Here you can configure what and how books are synced to the device.
If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner.

TS1410 i can't see the songs in my iTunes. These songs were synced from my iPod classic.

I can't see the songs in my iTunes. These songs were synced from my iPod classic before the i tunes updates.

I would suggest as this is not Apple software you are using, you might want to look here.

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.
