Sync / iPod Summary problem. (Video / Pictures etc)
Hello.
I've got a bit of a weird problem going on. I've never had an iPod before nor have I used iTunes so I might be doing something completely wrong. Anyway on to my problem:
When syncing movies/videos to my iPod it doesn't work then in the summary "Sync movies to iPod" isn't ticked nor is the picture one or any other apart from music. So I tick them and then click apply then it syncs and then when it finished it says "Cannot find "Dannys Ipod" The required disk space cannot be found". I've got enough space I'm sure of that and my iPod is connected correctly- otherwise the summary screen wouldn't show. Like I said my iPod and iTunes is new and I have restored it once or twice and it wouldn't work. I've also tried to tick "Enable disk use" and apply and still- comes up with the same error message.
Any help on this would be appreciated, if you've had this problem how did you fix it etc.
Well, I don't have an iPod video....maybe try the iPod forums, instead of iTunes for Windows?
And I am totally not sure this will work, but try assigning your iPod a specific drive letter such as "W" or something not already used, and far away in the alphabet from any other drive letters that are being used.
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

This can be done without having to sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application via the iTunes sync process on each computer.
This can be done over the air with a free iCloud account. -
SYNCING IPOD (5th Gen Video) w/Windows XP on an Intel Core 2 Duo
SYNCING IPOD
I'm trying to sync my IPOD from the library in Itunes on my computer, but it will not sync and I see all the songs on my computer along with the different playlists such as: dance, instrumental and so on. The error that I get for the IPOD is: songs on the IPOD "Belinda's IPOD" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist. How can this be true, since I still see all the playlists on my computer? Why won't it sync? I am desperate and really need some help -- now I have no music to play at all on my IPOD for going to the gym with, or playing in my car, and have become very upset. Why is this so hard to do stuff between the Itunes and IPOD? If this IPOD ever goes on me, not sure if I will buy another IPOD -- almost to that point.
Thanks,
VERY FRUSTRATED, PLEASE HELP!!How can this be true, since I still see all the playlists on my computer?
Okay but none of those playlists are selected to sync to your iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click on the Music tab.
Select *Sync music* and *Selected playlists* in the drop down box then tick the playlists you want to sync to the iPod.
Or just select *Sync all* in the drop down. -
Got a new laptop as my old one is broke, when I set up a new itunes on my new laptop the itunes library will only pick up some of the songs and I do not have a back up for the rest of them. If I press sync then it says it will erase everything on my ipod that is not in my library which is quite alot of songs. Therefoe when I buy new songs on itunes or put songs on using a cd they do not go onto my ipod as I cannot sync it in the fear of losing all my older songs. Is there any way of syncing my ipod to put on new music to it without losing my old songs which will not automatically go into my itunes library?? Any help appreciated!

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by seeing:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and made a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup does not included synced media like apps and music. -

My ipod touch has 4 GB of space, i tunes will not sync because it says there is not enough available space on this device? how can I fix this?
Either delete/unsync some items from the iPiod or sync less media.

i am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked
I assume there is more than ample space remaining on your iPod to hold all the videos? Are you getting any error messages during the sync process?
Do all of these videos play okay in iTunes? Is the sync only checked songs and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
What other setting do you have enabled from under the iPod's video configuration tab in iTunes?

When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?
Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists. If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

when my ipod is in recovery mode, will a restore delete my data...pictures, video..etc.
RahullikThe post is over a year old.
Your statement
Don't worry about that. iPod stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPod. There are two ways to solve it.

IPod Classic 160gb Video sync problem
My iPod Classic will only sync certain video files, files around 2gb or smaller. I have Quite a few digital copies and I would like to be able to synch all of them at one point or another. I have a few video files that are around 4gb and when dragged to the sync que it drops into the device, starts to sync, syncs without transferring the video file, and says sync complete without error message.
I also have digital copies of Game of Thrones that I would like to load on to there but they do the same thing. I have tried in the general sync settings to allow the choose your files option as well as the general sync all options with no previal. Its like the iPod will not sync any of the television shows at all. not even a special feature episode.
I have iTunes version 11.1.4.62 with iPod system version 2.0.4 running on a windows 7 laptop. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your helpful comments.http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302828

Problems copying pictures to iPod
I have a fifth generation iPod which was recently replaced under warranty due to a fault. The previous one loaded music, pictures etc with no problems but this one refuses to load pictures!! I have set the preferences to sync the pictures from "My Pictures" which contain all my images.
When I connect the iPod the music is synced ok but no attempt seems to be made to load the pics.
This is driving me mad. Can anyone suggest a solution?

5th
Generation with Video Windows XP
My first question would be, in the itunes program, go to edit > Preferences. Make sure the ipod is connected to the computer and displaying "Do Not Disconnect" with that all-too-familiar flashing circle. From there, go to the ipod tab, and from the ipod tab select the Photos tab. Where is your ipod set to sync--you say my pictures, just to verify check this. next, make sure that the check box is marked to sync for my pictures. if that's all done post back, either I or someone else will get back to you on this to elaborate. -
Ipod 5th gen, video 30bg, will sync/restore, won't play
I am running Windows 7, with all updates (as of 3/14/2014) have itunes 11.1.5.5 showing no available updates. When I plug into the USB port, the ipod gets recognized, Itunes starts. I can see the files on the ipod. I have reset the ipod and restored. Same problem. When I drill down to the actual file I want to listen to, it doesn't play. On the screen the icon changes from pause to the arrow for play, the index line never advances. You can hit the select button, use the scroll wheel to advance through the file, and hit play again, but no noise. There isn't noise if in the dock (which other ipods and iphones work with in the house) there is no noise if the headphones are plugged in. i was thinking harddrive, so I replaced it. couldn't get the new one to function. When the new harddrive was in the unhappy face would come up. I could force into disk mode, in hopes of restoring it, but in disk mode, neither windows and hence itunes would recognize it as an ipod. I put the old hard drive back in thinking maybe I damaged the cable, but it came right up, but with the same problem, it won't play the sounds... I replaced the Zif cable just in case, still the same...
i've sure seen lots of Ipod 5th gen video for sale on Ebay, compared to the 4th that I had, which I broke the scroll wheel cable on, but never had such problems with it. Any thoughts out there from someone who might know what it's doing? It seems weird that it loads the music files, and deletes the music files but won't play them. The only other thing I can think of perhaps is the battery too low to spin the hard drive up to play? It does seem to be a very small (physically) battery compared to the 4th gen... but it is thicker...
When I got it it was doing the low power thing, so I did all the steps to re-charge, and restore, but it won't play the files... Thanks for any thoughts!
JesseIt sound like you did some good troubleshooting. Thanks for providing the details. I don't think a problem like this is related to the battery.
With a 5th gen iPod (early version) that has a 30GB hard drive, it may have problems using a larger capacity hard drive. That may explain the different problem you had when you replaced the hard drive, if you changed the capacity.
Try the following test. Do another Restore from the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. At the end of the Restore process, choose NOT to sync anything automatically.
Go to the iTunes Store and download a free song. You can find the current free songs by clicking Free on iTunes under QUICK LINKS, on the iTunes Store Home screen.
Manually load that ONE song on the iPod. Disconnect iPod and try to play that one song. Does this same problem occur? -
IPod 5G Problem Writing Video to Disk
I just purchased an "open box" model of a 30Gb iPod with video this weekend. I have no trouble downloading songs, but I cannot seem to download 2 TV shows that were purchased on iTunes.
The error message says "Attempting to copy to the disk (iPod name) failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I could not locate an error message number. The error pops up when the video is almost done loading.
Any suggestions?
Gateway PC Windows XPhmmmmmm. this document is the best place to start with that one:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
... but if it looks like the files themselves are damaged, it would be best to report the problem to the iTunes Store. the email form at the bottom of this FAQ would probably be the best one to use:

"Apply" and "Sync" buttons not working in the iPod summary...?
I had just previously purchased a few tv episodes and movies through the iTunes store. Before I had done this, in the iPod summary when connected, I chose which movies to sync to my iPod instead of syncing all of them. Now when I go to check the boxes next to the new movies/episodes, and press apply, they do not sync and I just get a message saying that "the disk cannot be found." I do not understand why it is doing this because I can sync all of my other music and podcast files fine. If someone would help me with this problem I would be eternally grateful.

When I sync up my HD videos won't transfer onto my IPOD- Why? How can I fix this?
I have an IPod Classic... I'm trying to sync up my HD videos- tv shows but they won't transfer onto my IPOD. Anyone know why?
Ok so HD video is not supported, which explains the problem so what is the solution? Do I have to put it through a converter to make the data and bit rate smaller? Would that even be possible?
