Syncing help!!

I have a second generation ipod and everytime I go to sync it, it says "the ipod 'Alannah's ipod' cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
or on occassion I get, " Songs on the ipod 'Alannah's ipod' cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
I've made new playlist to synce and none work.
I'd rather not have to send it out to be fixed, so if anyone knows how to fix this problem please help.
thanks

See this user tip. It may address the second error.

For versions of iTunes from 7 onwards, the option to "update selected playlists" is now under the "music" tab in the summary screen.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Hi,

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

Help with iPad Identifying Phone Numbers in iMessage Send & Receive Settings / iMessage Syncing Help - iOS 6 - iPhone - iPad

With iOS6, iPhone and iPad users will see that their Send & Receive iMessage settings have updated across their devices to be made available at both phone numbers and email addresses. You may have also seen alerts on one or more of your devices advising that another device is now using the same Apple ID/phone number for iMessage.
Being able to be reached on iMessage on both Apple ID and phone numbers across devices means that iMessage can keep the same thread and sync across devices.
Due to having 2 iPhones on different phone numbers running along side my iPad at one time, (whilst I was waiting for my phone number to be moved to a new provider), my iMessage settings on my iPad lost my phone number completely. I thought I would document the steps to recover this for anyone in the same boat.
1. Check that you are signed in with the same iCloud Account on both iPad and iPhone.
2. Turn off iMessage on your iPad from Settings > Messages.
3. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. You should see your phone number and your iCloud email address in the 'Your can be reached by iMessage at:' list. Make sure both are ticked.
4. At this point, I synced my iPhone with iTunes, then synced my iPad with iTunes.
5. On your iPad, turn iMessage back on - your phone number should now show in the 'You can be reached by iMessage at:' list. Tick the phone number. You should receive an alert on your iPhone.
This should resolve the issue.
With the above set up and with the iOS 6 updates, iMessage should now sync fine across devices however I have still found the most successful way to run iMessage is to always start new conversations from your Apple ID and to start new threads by addressing the first message to an Apple ID from an Apple ID.
To do this, go to Settings > iMessage > Send & Receive and tick your Apple ID in the 'Start new conversations from:' list, then start a new iMessage thread to the recipients Apple ID. This way, the thread will sync across iPad and iPhone. Note that a thread set up this way will not fall back on SMS, so you get a clean iMessage thread. This method also worked/works on iOS 5, as long as you send the first message of a new thread from an iPad (which can only send via Apple ID) to an Apple ID.
Hopefully this helped someone!

ipad has no phone number, you use a same email address for both devices. and set it in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive

Media sync - help

I have a couple of questions;
1) all of a sudden I cannot sync any music files. the BB software says " Music services failed to load, an unexpected error occurred" Could this have occurred when I took the 6.0 upgrade? How do I fix it?
2) I've read that I can sync my music files from Windows Media Player, but I can't get it to work. What do I need to do? I found this process much easier on my old Palm Treo.

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these.
Hopefully something there is helpful!

Ipod classic will not sync, help me!

Running OSX 10.6.8
Macbook 2,1
Itunes 10.6.3
160gb Ipod classic not sure which generation
The ipod appears empty in Itunes, I sync my entire library of music and all podcasts, it appears to sync normally and after the sync is complete, i eject the ipod. I unplug the ipod and under music it says: "no music", under podcasts: "no podcasts". nothing has synced at all. BUT, under the settings tab in the ipod, it is showing an amount of space about the size of my music collection under the category of "other". Curiouser curiouser...
OH, I should mention, I tried unchecking the "sync entire library" option and chose only a single album to sync, it worked! but when i try the entire library, i can't get it to work.
I have restored the ipod several times and retried the sync repeatedly. I have reinstalled Itunes, I have even reinstalled OSX! but nothing seems to work. If it were completely dead, I would just buy a new one, but it fires up, syncs and the whole shebang yet, it remains empty.
I also entered the diagnostic interface on the ipod and nothing seemed to be wrong but, I have no idea what the normal ipod parameters are and have nothing by which to compare the results...
help me

Try to connect the iPod Classic to your Macbook, using another USB port, it looks like a shared USB bus, is causing timeouts, and failing to finalised the iPod filesystem writes.
My Suggestions
Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Especially if the hardisk is dying and causing delays in writing data to the clusters.

Everything is going nuts. and now it won't play music, won't sync. help!

I really need your help. You see I own an 80gb ipod classic. And I bought a bunch of new songs on iTunes yesterday so I want to add them. I tried syncing it but it won't add the songs, instead it messed them all up. The songs that were already added either have a messed up art work, don't play, freeze my ipod or only play halfway. I have bought at least 90% of my music from iTunes so the files aren't damaged.
I really need to fix this, because now not even the hard disk will work and I have over 15gb of valuable content in there. So I need all the help i can get to solve this problem. Help me please!

so I restored it, it took a lot since I had so many files to save.
and even if i restored it nothing works.
now it won't sync ANYTHING. from videos, to photos and songs.
i mean, nothing.
what is wrong? i'm seriously thinking or returning this ipod. it's crap.
