Sync Problems for Second Ipod

I bought a 60Gb iPod last year so that I could listen to my music during my 80km round trip to work. It was so successful my wife nicked it ! Bought an 80Gb version yesterday but cannot load my iTunes library to the new kit.
It will part load, the gives the error message "attempting to copy to the disk *** iPod failed. The disk could not be read from or written to".
This usually happens after about 2.5GB have downloaded, but on the first attempt 7.4Gb transferred successfully.
What am I doing wrong ? Please help someone !

Hi Capinrage. You should be able to copy the entire content of your wife's 2Gb iPod, let alone one or two tracks !
I found something similar when I started to copy to my new disk. I use a firewire connection for the 60Gb iPod, but can only use USB for the 30Gb model. When I was trying to work out what was wrong, I tried the 60Gb Ipod on the USB connection but iTunes wouldn't recognise it at all. Eventually changed the USB port and that worked so it might be worth trying.

Sync Problems for new ipod user.

Problem syncing my ipod mini. I can get about maybe half a song on my ipod (it is there when I disconnect it from the pc to check) and the itunes errors out saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "ipod name" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." If I keep hitting the sync button it will start over again and continue uploading songs to the ipod but sure enough after a few min I will get this same error again. I think I have gotten about 3 songs loaded at the most before getting this error. Thanks for any help in advance and I apologize for asking this question and it has been answered previously.

After searching many postings about this very issue I think I have identified the issue. The iPod Control folder is set to read only. I go in as admin and uncheck that, launch iTunes and sure enough I check the folder and it is set back to read only. Any idea here?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

ITunes Sync Problems With iPhone & iPod Apps

Since i upgraded my Mbp i started getting this strange problems,
its effecting both iPhones and iPod,
I got a new model MBP so copy my entire itunes collection and sync it with the new mbp,
also copied over the iphone and ipod data (backups)
now everything was fine but the last 2 weeks itunes doesn't let me remove any apps from my iphone or ipod,
if i remove the apps from the phone/ipod and then connect to itunes it will reinstall all the apps,
if i connect to itunes and remove the apps it will some times reinstall or wait till the next time i sync my iphone or ipod and reinstall the same apps,
i have run out of solution to sort this out,
if the apps are deleted this does sort the problems out,
but some of the apps are paid apps, so don't want to loose them,
also if i delete and re-download the apps i still end up with the same problem..
any help on this will be great...

Ios7 music sync problems for iPhone 4S

Like many other folks I made the huge mistake of updating (NOT upgrading) to io7, in my case 7.0.4, then trying to sync musci from iTunes. I first upgraded (ha!) to iTunes 11.1.3, then found I was lost in the 'waiting for changes' zone. I've now been working on this problem for hours, along with a host of other ios7-related changes (e.g. the inability to limit the number of gmail messages ported into active memory). I've tried most of the fixes others have listed [remove all sync flags, rebuild playlist, clean out chinese characters, etc.] and finally got one sync to make it through the 'veil', but subsequent syncs now get stuck as well. I have not tried a full restore and really don't want to go down that path. This is pathetic, and the total cone of Apple silence about this issue makes you wonder where their customer focus disappeared to. Any other ideas?

This is a user to user forum, there is no Apple here.

Photo Sync problems (2nd g ipod touch, macbook air)

I have an ipod touch second generation (NO ios5: version 4.2.1) which synced and displayed my photos totally fine when i used my old imac with tiger.
now i upgraded to a macbook air with snowleopard and it says: "some of your photos weren't synced because they cannot be displayed on your ipod".
i tried syncing via iphoto and from picture folders, both won't work.
they're just normal .jpg pictures, but only about 50 of 2000 will sync (there's still 8gb left on my ipod so there should be enough space)
I'd be glad if someone could help me out!

Try trashing your iPod's photo cache. See this article to determine where your photo cache is located on your Mac.
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
Otherwise, try removing the option to sync photos to your iPod and applying the changes and then re-applying the same sync setting so that photos do sync to your iPod.

A Windows formatted iPod will work just fine on a Mac without you needing to do anything to it. Of course the new iTunes library on the Mac will see that the iPod is synced to another library, but otherwise, the iPod will work fine As-Is on a Mac.

Sync problems with my ipod touch

My ipod is 2 weeks old. syncing with my PC worked fine until yesterday when I put a CD into itunes and tried to sync it with my ipod. No sync high lighted therefore it wont sync can anyone help ?

I can't understand this question, can you clarify?
By 'put a CD into itunes' did you mean you were viewing a CD in itunes or you had imported the tracks from the CD into your itunes library?
On what screen were you seeing 'no sync high lighted' and what does that mean?
Do you sync your entire library automatically with your ipod, do you need to select tracks to be automatically synced, or you manually manage your ipod's library?

IPod Syncing Problem for Album Artwork

So everytime I try to sync my iPod Touch using iTunes,most of the artwork for my albums/songs changes. I've had this happen several times in the past. It seems that many albums take the artwork from one album.

When I try to check the "Display album artwork" box and update my ipod, I get this error message:
The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50).

Running os xp.cable connect ipod 2nd gen and box appears that asks that a camera is installed. i click no and i get no reconicition of a device in itunes. this is a recent happening. i have had no sync problems for almost 2 years. i cannot sync iphone too

have recently experienced sync issues with iphone 3gs,ipad2 and 2nd gen itouch.When i cable connect to xp pc i get a camera connected box. i opt out of this and itunes does not reconize my devices. Is ther something in my device manager missing?

Try this:

Also check is AMDS is installed and active:

Sync Problem with new iPod

I am new to the iPod world, and just got my hands on an 80gig iPod video. I love it. I own a MacBook Pro 2.0, and I have iTunes 7. Now that I have told you this basic info, this is the problem I am having.
The iPod sync's sucessfully when I first connect the iPod while in iTunes 7, but after the 1st sync, lets say I download some new songs, import some new songs, or whatever, and I go to sync the iPod, it just say's "Waiting on iPod", and eventually times out. Then I unplug the iPod, plug it back in, and it sync's up all the new stuff. I would rather have it just sync up without having to dissconnect and re-connect it, but it will not. Any suggestions?
Zach

I can't help you, but I'm having a similar problem, and hopefully someone can help us both!
I bought a new 80 GB iPod and updated to iTunes 7 (from 6). The first time I connected, all the songs copied over automatically, which was fine.
However, when I later tried to disable automatic sync - which is my personal preference, because I don't want all the songs in my library on my iPod - ALL the songs I had copied to my iPod were erased, and all the settings (backlight, click wheel, etc.) on my iPod were restored to the factory defaults!
Furthermore, when I connected my iPod (before I turned off sync) for the second time, anytime I would click on "library," any playlist, the iPod eject button, or ANY button other than in the iPod menu, iTunes would crash immediately - and there would be no error message!
Someone help us! (this is all on a G5 with 10.4.1 btw)

IPhone 3g sync problem... ipod works fine, iPhone not recognised.

Hello,
I guess this may be a hardware problem but I could really do with some advice. I have an IPhone 3g which i sync to my Imac (using itunes 9.1.1). Every now and again i have had problems with itunes not recognising my phone but normally after a reboot (phone/imac) it would work fine. On one occasion the reboot didn't work and I I had to reinstall itunes.
Now i have the same problem but none of my previous fixes work... I cannot sync my iPhone at all. It doesn't charge from the USB (although it does from the mains) and doesn't show up as a device in iPhoto. Its just not there! I have tried syncing my old iPod which works fine - which makes me think its the phone is causing the problem. Everything else on the phone itself works fine.
Any ideas, hints or tips...

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I did this yesterday and had no joy... so i thought i would try it again before posting that I had done it and to my surprise this time it has worked.
Great that it is fixed but i guess going through this process shouldn't be a normal operation? Is there a fault with my iPhone or is it simply a bug in iTunes that needs a re-install to fix? I imagine it will happen again in a few weeks time so am hoping for a more permanent fix.
Thanks again

Can someone clarify the syncing restrictions for all iPods? (minus shuffle)

I currently have two libraries. When I sync my iPod with music, movies or tv shows from one library, if I try to sync from my other library requesting to sync with any of the three types, it overwrites all three. One library only has music and the other library has everything else (movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc.)
It does not overwrite my podcasts or pictures, however. Is this because of a DRM issue? Can someone clarify the syncing restrictions or point to an article about this?
Can someone also clarify if it is possible to sync my music from one library and sync my tv shows/movies without erasing my music? I am already aware of the possibility of manually managing my music and videos, but I need to sync my music for the ratings and play count.
Thanks in advance.

I have one library in my internal hard drive and I have one on an external drive. I don't have my external drive everywhere I go, so I put all the media I want to access in my internal library. They take up a significant amount of space, so I would like to keep them separate.

Itunes 11.3.1 removes info tab in sync mode for classic ipod, unable to sync addresses, please re instate it apple !!

upon updating to 11.3.1 i notice that apple had removed the info tab, allowing to sync contacts & addresses for the classic ipod, apple please re-instate this, must be an oversight, as the address are still on my ipod..

Hi,
How to sync an ipod Classic has not changed. Read this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351. Does this help?
