Syncing information to an ipod classic

Hi,
I have a problem in that when I try to Sync Address Book contacts (in iTunes) or Sync my iCal Calendars to my Ipod Classic I am allowed. Instead I am informed that, ‘The settings were not saved for the ipod because it could not be found’ and, ‘No calendars available - calendar sycing cannot be enabled because there are no calendars available’.
My iPod is 3rd generation classic.

Hi,
I managed to donwload the Aquaman Pilot, and it synced fine with my ipod. I donwloaded it yesterday. I don't know if Apple fixed the problem, but everything worked fine for me.
Does anyone know, how i can get the pilot to play on my windows computer if i don't have iTunes on it? It has no internet connection either?
Can it be converted to quicktime or a .wmv file? and is there a way around the authorizing computer to play?
I'm going on a road trip, and i wanted to watch Aquaman while i was away.
Thanks for any help/advice

  • ITunes could not sync information to the iPod...because a connection could not be established

    The only history I could find on this problem is at http://discussions.apple.com/thread/2059115?threadID=2059115
    'iTunes could not sync information to the iPod "device name" because a connection could not be established to the iPod'
    I have an old iPod Touch, for which the most recent compatible OS seems to be 3.1.3.  iTunes is quite new (iTunes 10.3.1.55) on Windows 7 Profession 64-bit.  Has everyone else who has had this problem on an old iPod Touch found that it was solved, or do they just ignore it?

    You will not lose data doing a reset.
    If this does not work, maybe try to use a second user account, disable autosync in iTunes, plug in, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". This will create a backup without syncing.
    If the backup goes through, transfer purchase the same way.
    Set up at least on contact and event for that new account, let iTunes erase the device and restore from the backup you made before.
    If it works for the second user account, there's something wrong on the other side, maybe a defective backup or iTunes.

    Syncing my 6th generation Ipod Classic, I get loads of the same message, "Itunes could not copy songs into ipod due to error -50". The syncing then completes with only 15gb used space and 143 gb space free.
    What can I do to correct this error, please?

  • ITunes could not sync information to the iPod "...." because another sync session was already running.

    Normally, syncing my iPod Touch is no problem. However, last time I tried to sync, the process hung up and even after half an hour the progress bar would not finish. I ended up having to force quit iTunes. Now when I try to sync I get 2 messages: the first says "iTunes could not back up the iPod "......" because a session could not be started with the iPod." as soon as I close that message another appears: "iTunes could not sync information to the iPod "......." because another sync session was already running."
    There seems to be a half finished sync file saved somewhere and a new one cannot be started. However, I can't continue the partial one either so I'm stuck.
    Other than that my iPod Touch 4 is operating normally. Syncing with Mac Book Pro.
    How do I fix this problem?

    WHat do yo meanby rebooting?
    Is is a reset like defined in the users guide:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Error: iTunes could not sync information to the iPod because a connection..

    I am getting this error window almost every time I sync my iPod Touch to iTunes. A few seconds after connecting my iPod to my computer via USB, an error window pops up saying: "iTunes could not sync information to the iPod "name" because a connection could not be established to the iPod; OK button".
    Well, my iPod IS connected via USB cable, sync starts, and after I click OK in the error window, sync continues, and at the end everything seems to be fine, all my podcasts, songs, mail, calendars, etc. seem to be there fine.
    Any idea what is causing this error window to pop-up and how to solve this problem?
    See system specs below.

    Chiming in as well, having the same issue with my first gen iPod touch, only started happening after update to 3.0.
    Hopefully this fixed when 3.1 comes out, everything seems to work fine (in fact, syncing immediately after the first sync produces no errors, only seems to happen after disconnect / reconnect)

  • If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

    If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

    If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
    But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
    Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

  • HT201745 There is no support in the website of apple ( a famous company for namesake) for resolving the problems arising out of latest version of itunes.   I find no button for sync in the new window of itunes then how can I sync music to my ipod classic.

    Sir,
                   On the hope that latest version of itunes will work more for me, I downloaded the itunes version 12 recently.  But to my surprise the sync button is not there even if I connect the ipod ( classic iOS 1.3 version).  My ipod serial No.is  8L730BL1V9M and it is ipod classic with buttonwheel.  I am having 32bit Windows vista home premium and using DELL system.  How I can find sync button and for your information, the itunes player window shows every song I have in the library and I cannot sync the songs to my ipod.  Hitherto there was no such problem for playing and copying songs from and to my ipod.  What is the remedy ? please tell if anybody knows.

    Hello ramaraoananthapadmanabhan,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the new version of iTunes. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing in iTunes when you have your iPod classic connected. If you are having issues setting up syncing to your iPod in the new version of iTunes, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • I have recently got a new windows lap top and transfered by itunes library to it successfully. i cannot however sync downloads to my ipod classic and my lap top is not recognising the ipod at all. Please help ! Thank you.

    I have recently changed lap tops and moved my itunes library successfully.
    However I cannot now synce my ipod classic with the new windows pc.
    The lap top is not recognising the ipod. 
    I have spoken to apple and they think its a settings issue on my pc ? I have fully deleted and then reinstalled itunes .
    can any one help ? This should be easy to resolve but appears to be a common issue when looking on the web.
    Thank you

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • Problem syncing itunes 12 with ipod classic on a PC

    Hi I just purchased a new Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 and installed the latest itunes 12 on it, but it won't sync with my ipod classic.  The itunes detects my ipod classic, but won't sync the music files and just ejects the ipod instead.  I have tried installing an older version of itunes onto my computer (version 11) but version 11 won't work on this laptop.  Please help!

    Unfortunately I cannot get the movies to play through Quicktime at all on the PC - the movie seems to play (timer runs and the little triagle moves), but all I get is a blank screen... The first time I tried to play one of the files, QT told me I may need to download additional codecs (although it did not indicate which one) - and directed me to the third-party codec download site. However, after downloading several of the different codecs, the .mov files still won't play through QT on the PC.
    Rule of Thumb: never download codec components arbitrarily. Since the files load into the QT Player, what you should have done was open the "Inspector" window and check the "Format:" entry to see which codec was used to compressed the video and then download the "correct" QT codec component and only the needed one.
    Is it not possible to get these files to play on a PC since they were imported and made on an iMac with iMovie?
    I would tend to suspect that you may be using an HDD or DVD camcorder here. Basically, the MOV file container is generic and can hold any valid combination of audio and video compression formats. DV would have imported as DV content. AVCHD or HDV would have imported as AIC/AIFF content which is normally supported intrinsically by QT. On the other hand, the content from MPEG2/AC3 based camcorders employs a special iMovie '08 import/conversion module which converts the AC3 to AIFF and the MPEG-2 "P-frames" and "B-frames" to "I-frames" which effectively turns the video into an M-JPEG track but leaves it labeled as MPEG-2 content which would likely confuse the QT Player. Further, if iLife '08 itself installs the playback component for this compression combination, you may not be able to locate/install a Windows version of this playback codec at all and may end up having to convert your DVD stored MOV files on an iLife '08 equipped Mac.

  • I can't sync photos to my Ipod Classic...help?

    I've just got a new Ipod Classic and I can sync songs and Podcasts OK, but I can't sync any photos. The "sync" symbol looks active when I'm sending the photos over, but when I check my Ipod later...nothing at all!!! It's driving me nuts...suggestions anyone?

    I had the same Problem, very frustrating until you realize what it was. My simple fix was!
    On your IPOD go to
    Settings
    Main Menu
    Photos (probably set to off)
    Turn ON
    Should do it

  • Syncing Address Book to IPod Classic

    Problem: Syncing Address Book to my iPod Classic 80 (using iMac, bought new Dec. 2007)
    I have tried again and again to sync my Address Book to the iPod; with always the same weird results.
    1. When I sync my iPod to the Address Book, only seven contacts of 166 appear on the iPod - THIS is the problem.
    2. On the iTunes Contacts page I have checked; ‘Sync Address Book’ and ‘All Contacts’.
    3. During syncing the window states that it is syncing contacts.
    4. In the list of ‘Selected Groups’ (I always have ‘All Contacts’ checked) groups appear that I have deleted in Address Book.
    5. I used Bento in the past, and didn’t like it; I have moved Bento from the application folder to the Trash. Could Bento be interfering somehow?
    6. On Preferences I have tried vCard 3.1 and 2.0, neither worked - 3.1 is currently selected.
    7. In Address Book, I did an archive backup. And then restored with the archive, no difference, with the sync. The restore worked fine in Address Book.
    8. As a test, in Address Book I deleted one of the seven contacts, that do appear on the iPod (see 1. above); then synced; it still appears on my iPod - the contact that won’t die.
    9. Syncing of Calendars works fine.
    10. I have tried resetting the iPod. Still no difference after syncing, still only seven contacts appear, including the deleted one.
    11. Where is the data for the Address Book stored on the computer? If I deleted all the data files in Address Book, would that help? Would the files rebuild themselves with the restore archive?
    12. The iPod software is up to date.
    13. Resetting the iPod did not change anything.
    14. I did the sync manually - syncing only Contacts, still only seven contacts.
    What can I do? Any ideas would be appreciated. Using the iPod for contacts would very useful - I really do not want to buy another device or a cell phone (PDA) that also stores addresses.
    Thanks, Diane

    OK - Now we have some progress. I did as suggested and 'Reset Sync History', The seven contacts on the iPod are gone! However, it still is not syncing up my contacts. I reset the iPod, tried manually, restarted the computer, etc. - it didn't help. Thank you for the suggestion.
    Thank You, Diane

  • 9.0 not syncing all my music - iPod Classic

    Since downloading iTunes 9.0, some of my music is not being synced with my iPod Classic. For Example, I have 6554 items in my iTunes library, but only 6511 on my iPod. I can't get those missing songs to sync! This worked fine before the 9.0 download, and I didn't change anything else. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    My brother is having the same problem with my old U2 iPod (4G). He has a few thousand songs in his library and a couple podcasts he subscribes to, and since upgrading to iTunes 9 (on Windows XP), only 600-ish are syncing. He doesn't use playlists, just syncs everything. I got him to try a restore and re-sync, and he ended up with even fewer songs on the iPod.
    After my experiences with iTunes 9 (screwing up my smart playlists) and iPhone 3.1 (draining my battery faster and making the phone run warm), along with my brother's, I'm going to start making a habit of waiting a month or more until Apple gets its **** together with these new releases. This has been a big pain in the butt.

  • Syncing HD video to iPod classic

    How do I sync HD videos to my iPod classic?

    Hey allanfrommo,
    Here is an article that addresses this question about HD videos and your iPod:
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4223
    HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are offered in 720p or 1080p1 and are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.2
