Sync ipod
iPod, 4th generation will not sync with Windows 8.1. Have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with no luck. iPod is recognized but does not sync.
Reset the iPod if you haven't already done so.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies. E.g.
TS1363: iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes after upgrading to Itunes 7
I can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes since upgrading to Itunes 7. When I try it freezes my Itunes and I have to force quit the application. Anyone else know how to solve this? Anyone else having this problem?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)I have the 3rd generation IPod and I thought it happened when I dropped it, but after thinking about it it did happen the same time I switched to itunes v7.
I have to stop the auto-sync and have the ipod completely restored each time. So when I want to update my ipod I have make it an hour adventure. -
Trying to sync ipod with itunes library, but I keep getting this message, " The ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this i tunes library?"
I do not want to erase my ipod!!! Any suggestions?? please help!Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

after I download Itunes, when trying to sync Ipod, message says "needs newer version of mobile support, uninstall Itunes, and reinstall Itunes, and the same process starts all over again. why is that?
Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.

I just purchased a ipad 2 and have not sync it yet. I have an old pc and would like to move the itunes library account to a newer pc that I have. Can I move the library to the ipad and sync ipods to the ipad and/or move the library to the new pc?
Perhaps this web page will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1229
But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive? -
Cannot sync Ipod or read or write to disk
please help I jst bought my 30gb ipod and every time I try to sync music to it the msg comes cannot sync ipod. I cannot put on one song at a time but have to replace my whole library in the ipod to add one song.
thanx for your help in advancelet's first try this document:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod -
I wish Apple would clearly address this issue on their support page. From what is written there, it seems as though iTunes IS compatible w/ Vista (aside from a few 'compatibility issues'). I've called Customer Support on several occasions and have been told, finally, that iTunes is NOT COMPATIBLE with Windows Vista. If this is the case, then please just say this on your support page and make it very clear that syncing iPod on a Vista-based machine is just not possible yet.
And is it just me, or is this issue taking Apple WAY too long to get resolved?? I would really love to get back to using (and updating, specifically) my iPod!
iPod w/ Video 30gb Other OSAnd its worse than that ... it seems its something to do with the memory management in the iTunes program and not the USB connection as I first suspected. Here was my issue... I could not sync more than about 1 gb of data to my Video iPod. Now when my big back log of podcasts is downloaded ... BSOD with the message KERNELSTACK_INPAGEERROR.

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent -

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed with sync.
Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream. -
HT1369 when syncing ipod, receiving blue screen error WDF_Violation
When syncing ipod, receiving blue screen error WDF_Violation
I am having a similar problem. I have an iPod Classic 80Gb with a brand new computer using iTunes11 on Windows 8.
iTunes sees the iPod on the Sidebar, but when I try to sync or change any settings, roughly half the time it will crash my windows and cite a WDF Violation error. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Regardless, even if it doesn't crash, it won't sync. It gets as far as "Starting Sync" and then it just stops.
I have verified that the iPod still syncs fine on my old xp machine, and I have tried the following, all to no avail.
Enabling Disk use
Converting higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC
Deleting and reinstalling the iPod's drivers through device manger
Running iTunes in XP SP3 compatibility mode
Running iTunes as Administrator
At one point, with disk use enabled and 128 kbps bit rate selected, I managed to get it to prompt me to Erase and Sync. it went on to erase everything on the iPod, but would not load any of my media back up. Subsequent attempts to sync gave the same result.
I had a look at the link above, but it's a brand new computer and I installed and updated everything myself to the latest version, except my Wacom tablet, which was acting funny with the latest driver, but it can't be that because the original driver from the install CD I reverted too has workd fine in conjunction with iTunes and this same iPod for years on my other machine.
I am getting extremly frustrated with this. Someone please help make it better !?! -
ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP
My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
-Plugging in your iPod to your PC
-Ignore the error messages
-Go to My Computer
-Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
-Right-click on it and select Properties
-Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!Hey ermides,

Error message when syncing iPod
I have a 2nd Generation iTouch and just recently when I go to plug my iTouch into sync, an error message comes up. It says "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again." I have already removed and re-installed iTunes and am still recieving the same message. It was working fine at first but just not started to not be able to sync iPod to computer. What do I need to do?
Same thing occurred to me today. Just restore your iPod. That seemed to work for me. There were suggestions to uncheck the option to display artwork, remove iPod, then to check it again and sync the iPod, but that didn't solve the problem for me.
