Synchronisation with iPod

hello
just a little question...
I've got an iPod 5th Generation, with color display and so on. I really like to have a comfortable and easy synchronisation with my PC, however, the problem's I can't activate the "automatically snychronisation", because if you do that iTunes will suddenly delete all your songs you have on the iPod and not on PC... Why there isn't sort of a function with I can only put the songs on iPod who aren't still on the iPod?! Nothing others, just put them autmatically on iPod...
I lost the half of my complete library last time I tried a few things out with this ******' "synchronisation-function"! As it works now, I can't need it at all
I just like to use my 30GB iPod as a second Harddisk, especially for saving music of course...
Is there something I haven't seen? Otherwise I really have to invest so much time in this **** synchronisation?!?
How do you do that?

Well, unfortunately, that's the way auto sync works. Nothing you can do about it.

i just updated my iPod touch 4G to IOS 5.0.1. after that my ipod cannot synchronise with itunes. during connecting to itunes my ipod seem to be synchronised with itunes but the song or application that i just downloaded did not appear in my ipod.

- First try a rset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring from backup

In ITunes,
my library was about 55 G. I have a Ipod Classic 160 G. I synchronised my IPod
on ITunes and I checked the tag Convert
songs with a throughput greater than 128 kbit / s ACC before
synchronisation I took maybe 6 hours to synchronise, and afterward my library was
about 42 G. All my tunes, more than 9500, seem still be in library. Most of my
library is from music purchased in ITunes store along with copies on my old CDs
an some MP3 files from other discs. This is good for me but what happened?

This is good for me but what happened?
I don't understand the question... Did something happen that you think should not have happened?
It took such a long time to sync, because iTunes was converting songs with bit-rate higher than 128 kbps "on the fly" while syncing. That takes much longer than just syncing the songs.
Also, since you have so much space on your iPod (compared to the size of your music library), you should not use that "convert to 128 kbps AAC" setting. For songs that are encoded higher than 128 kbps, the conversion reduces sound quality. You may want to uncheck Sync Music and Apply, to remove the songs on the iPod currently, and then sync it all again without the "convert" setting checked this time.

Can not synchronise my ipod with itunes. the required medium can not be found

Can not synchronise my ipod with itunes. I receive the message the required medium can not be found

Is it along the lines of the "required disk cannot be found?" What OS are you using and are you running the latest version of iTunes? I assume you have tried multiple USB ports as well as tried using a different USB sync cable to rule out a damaged/faulty cable?
Do you have any other USB devices plugged in while you try to sync your iPod?

Synchronising the IPOD

I have not connected my IPOD to my PC for some time and I am now running iTunes v.7.1. When I now connect my IPOD the PC will not allow it to synch and displays the following - "iTunes cannot synchronise to IPOD because Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later id required". Why is this so when previousley it synchronised perfectly?

Many thanks for your thoughts on this, but when I click on the Contact tab I get a Outlook error message, which when closed also closes down iTunes! I have Contacts 7 Calander turned 'on' on the iPOD and this problem hasn't occurred before. D'you think it's associated with the latest iTunes version?

Yesterday i made some purchases in itunestore. the download went well. till the synch of itunes with ipod. some of the downloaded music did noch synchronize. the message was: the ipod does not support the file format (mp4). strange, right?

Yesterday 20 november I have made some purchases in Ittunestore. The download went well. Till the synch of itunes with ipod. Some of the downloaded music did noch synchronize. The message was: the ipod does not support the file format (mp4). Strange, right? All the rest of downloaded music items has been synchronised without any problems. What may be the problem?

For music files purchased via the iTunes Store, Apple has used the following file extensions -
.m4a unprotected AAC format music files
.m4p protected AAC format music files
.m4b protected Audio Books
.m4r unprotected ringtones in AAC format
As you can see Apple have never used .mp4 for music files via the iTunes Store.
For videos Apple use .m4v and these are in H.264 format.
You could try changing the file extension to .m4a, first then see if it plays on your computer and then try re-synching it.

Why when I sync my iPod with my laptop, the application I downloaded on the iPod are saved when they are not on my desktop?
- I do not fully understand your question/problem.
- You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer but you can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. You can only sync apps from the library to the iPod on your one syncing computer.
- You can copy iTunes purchases like app from the iPod to any computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

On m'a volé mon Ipod. Il était verrouillé avec un code. Je souhaiterai juste savoir si le voleur a pu synchroniser mon Ipod avec un autre compte et recuperer mes fichiers. ( Musiques, Photos, Vidéos)

Comme mon sujet l'indique, je me suis recemment fait voler mon Ipod Touch au lycée. Je l'avais verrouillé avec un code. Je souhaiterai juste savoir si le voleur a eut la possibilité de synchroniser mon Ipod avec son compte Itunes et surtout savoir si il a pu avoir accès a mes photos, videos, ou encore musiques. Merci à l'avance de votre reponse.

As my topic suggests, I recently stole my Ipod Touch at school. I had locked with a code. I wish I just know if the thief was able to sync my Ipod with Itunes and especially his account whether he had access to my photos, videos, or music. Thank you in advance for your reply.
It is possible for someone to get into your locked iPod but it is not very easy as all.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod and wifi is on and connect go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and hae to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- Apple will do nothing

After synchronising, the iPod song starts part way through the song. Same song starts fine on iTunes. Wassup?

Why is it that after I synchronise my iPod with iTunes the track on my iPod starts part way through the song? Only happens with the occasional song and is not widespread. The iTunes song on my laptop is fine - when I play it from iTunes it starts from the start.
Any help would be very welcome

You're in the exact same situation as me, and I can't seem to find help with this problem.

Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Problems with Ipod Touch

Problems with iPod Touch.
Hi, I bought an ipod touch in Colombia a couple of months ago but lost the invoice, I tried using it but everytime I connect the iPod to the computer, it restarts over and over again, I've tried all the recommendations show in the Apple support site, but no method has proved the question is, I can take this ipod to a Mac store in the U.S. for repair or change.
I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it.
Thanks in advance for your quick response

You should be able to go to the USA for warrantee service. If you purchased at an Apple store you should be able to go to your account in iTunes and see the purchase. I am confused by your statement:
"I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it."
If you go to the Venezuela apple website you can see if/where there are Apple stores.

Delete music from the cloud with ipod touch

how do I delete songs from the cloud with ipod touch

What do you mean delete from iCloud?
If you only want songs downloaded to the iPod to show on the iPod go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Show all.
