Synching new iPod 7 with iTunes

Hi there.
I just bought a new iPod 7 instead of my old one.
I ownloaded the new iTunes version as reuiqred.
The iTunes showed me to do an uodate for the iPod. So I did.
Now, the iPod showed me it was doing sync. several times. But each time, I checked my iPod to see the music that's on it, and it says there's no music!
I pressed the synch. button on iTunes with my iPod attached of course, it showed me it was doing sync. again.
But again there's no music on my iPod.
I don't get this, what's wrong?
What do I do to get it to synch.?
Thanks in advance!

You will have to Restore it on the PC (erasing all data on it) which will format it for PC. Sync your music to it, set it up to manually manage your music (click on the iPod name, go to the summary tab to your right, scroll down to Options, tick the box for "Manually Manage..." and click Apply). Now connect it to your MacPro to get music from there.
The Mac can read a PC formatted iPod, but a PC cannot read a Mac format.

Song syncing difficulties on new iPod touch with iTunes match

I've got all my songs backed up on iCloud with iTunes match. I've been able to download most of the songs I've wanted from iCloud to my iPod touch but there a few songs that won't sync and I can't play on my iPod. I've tried to load them on the iPod manually with no success. Suggestions?

Couple of things come to mind. When you've got the list selected in iTunes, do you have Name selected on the top bar so they sort by Name? Try selecting the ^ to the left of name.
If it's a smart list, see [Smart Playlist not syncing as expected|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3044]
Hope that fixes it.

New IPod Classic with Itunes on a PC, XP, SP2

I installed ITunes on my PC, it then converted all the .wma files to .aac. So now my music appears in Itunes ok. I plug the IPod in to the USP port and It comes up in ITunes like it does on my MacPro, but I then get a message saying that this IPod was formatted on a Mac, then asks if I want to restore. My understanding of restore is wipe out all music that is now on the IPod, so I did not go there.
Auto Sync is not on. So what now? I have music on the PC that's not on my new MacPro, so I thought installing ITunes on the PC would be the easiest way to get music from the PC to the IPod.

Synching new email address with itunes and iphone.

I had a change in email addresses. I changed it on itunes website. But when I try to access it from my iphone, it still has the old email address and won't let me sign in stating wrong user or password. How do I change it on the iPhone? I have done the sync and that doesn't do it.
Thanks

Click the iTunes icon on your iPhone, select music and scroll to the bottom of the screen where you will see the name of your account. Click it and then sign out and the box will change to sign-in. Click it and choose "existing account" and then enter your user name and password.

Yes, you can!(:
STEP 1: Open iTunes
STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

HT1386 I cannot synch my new iPhone 5 with iTunes

I cannot synch my new iPhone 5 with iTunes. I have iOS 6.0.2 and on my MacBook Pro Mac OS 10.7.5. Strange enough my iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0.2 I can synch without any problem. Once the iPhone 5 is identified in iTunes (it takes some time) a disk is rotating as 1st step of synchronisation and after around 5 min it stops rotating but nothing has synched.

I also tried this. But it is still not synching. Only the small disk is rotating. No other error message.
I suspect there might be something with the phone not in order. Do you know if and where I can delete a synch history on the phone or in iTunes?

Sync is grayed out. Can no longer sync iPod classic with iTunes.

No longer able to sync iPod classic with iTunes. The iPod is recognized, but sync is grayed out. Any help out there?

I have the same problem with my ipod nano. I downloaded tunes from my old pc. ITunes does not recognise it from my new pc and I cannot sync.

Ipod Classic with Itunes 12.1 - Warning

First off,
Known issues - immediately after 12 dropped, pretty much all functionality involving Ipod classics was broken. Mac OS recieved a patch that fixed this, Windows has not, and there has been no addressing this issue thus far.
My stuff: Ipod class 120gb 8 years old, windows 7 64bit gaming rig, windows 7 64bit laptop. Gaming rig has been updated to 12.1, laptop was kept in version 11.
The problems: Most common - Ipod will disconnect seconds after being plugged in, leaving no chance to do any diagnosing whatsoever.
Less common - Ipod will show up and be interactable in Itunes, click Sync and get stuck in a never ending loop, stuck on song 1 of X forever, I left it doing that overnight - a good 16 hours - just in case, click restore and get an error 1439 (or similar number, basically same error) Ipod cannot be restored
Least common - upon clicking "restore Ipod" the computer will blue screen, complete system crash resulting in a system recovery or total loss of data
The fix(for me anyway) - use itunes 11 - Thankfully I had an old laptop that still had version 11.something installed on it, I was able to transfer my non-itunes store music to it and everything is just peachy
I reiterate - These are known issues, I have found dozens of forum posts on various websites complaining about just how fantastically broken the itunes 12 update has been, and many people have resorted to downgrading back to 11, a not-so-broken version. But here's the kicker - Itunes version 11.0.0.163 has NUMEROUS problems that result in either failed installation or instant crashes whenever you try to launch it, or if you're lucky just crashes whenever you try and access the Itunes store through it. Good luck trying to find someone to help you with installing these old versions if you run into one of these problems.
If you have an Ipod classic and a windows 7 computer DO NOT update to Itunes 12, it will not work, and most support operators will run you through hours of diagnostics just to prove that your ipods hard drive isn't crapping out from age.

Thank you Bka131! I have exactly the same problem (your most common: appears, then disappearing). I already spent DAYS to try, remove iTunes, drivers, re-intall, uninstall any competitor SW that is able to sync music...
Today, I tried with the latest iTunes just issued (12.1.0.71) and still the same issue: my iPod classic appears for 1 sec in iTunes, then disapear...
This is incredible. Do you know if some people ARE able to sync their iPod Classic with iTunes 12.x? Or do Apple wants to kick out all the "old" iPod Classic and force us to buy new iPxx? I can not believe they could not fix such big bug more quickly ...I did not find any official announcement from Apple that this is a known but unsolved bug ... Very strange as this seems to touch many users…
Do you have a safe place where I can download iTunes 11.xxx?

New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

New iPod Touch with January Update Restore Question

Hi,
Few days ago i bought new iPod Touch with 1.1.3 software and January Update.
When I restore it I'll lose my January Update programs ? And if that happened what can I do to get them back ?
PS. Sorry for my poor english :P
Cheers

It was mentioned already in this thread. If you look at the package check the seriel number. If it ends with /B then that is the new model and it has the new applications that were provided in the Jaunary update already programmed into the iPod. If you restore you will not lose them.
If it ends with /A then it is an older model that required the January Update in order to get the applications on your iPod. If you restore then you will lose them but you don't need to purchase them again as your iTunes will keep track of the purchase for you.
