Syncing iTunes with iPod

I have a 5th Gen. iPod and am using Windows XP.
I am having problems syncing my iTunes library with my iPod. A number of songs will transfer and then I get the following message:
'You do not have enough access privileges for this operation'
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Jamie

I'm having the same problem. Anybody figure out the solution yet?

Error message when syncing Itunes with Ipod

I bought a new laptop and it has Vista. I have downloaded Itunes 8 and updated QT.
When I try and update my Ipod it wants to delete all files and replace as it used to be synced with my old PC.
I get part way through and get an error message -1303 and then the sync terminates. It did this with only 300 tracks from the 2600 available to download.
Any ideas what the error number may relate to? I have searched all over apple site but no easy reference to this.
Any help much appreciated

Spinning wheel of death when try to sync itunes with ipod

I've had no bother from syncing my ipod until today and then for no reason I now keep getting the spinning wheel of death.
When my ipod is connected and on auto sync mode it gets recognised, says it's syncing and then totally freezes. The only way to get out of this is to manually remove the ipod and force quit itunes.
I've tried starting itunes without auto sync on, which works ok until you decide to move any music content across. For some strange reason it was ok about transferring podcasts but just refuses to transfer music content.
I've uninstalled itunes 9 and reinstalled with no effect. I've restored the ipod to factory settings which all it's done is now cleaned the ipod of all content and won't transfer anything. I'm using a mac with OSX Snow Leopard.
Can anyone help?

I think your problem is different to the OP's - in your case, did you check the format of the drive before you began using it? It's possible that it's formatted as NTFS or FAT32 out of the box, and you need to reformat to Macintosh Extended.
But this wouldn't apply to the OP's as he already had been using his drive for a while with no problems, although maybe permissions and/or ownership got scrambled.

HT1386 Syncing iTunes with iPod issues...

When I sync my iPod touch with iTunes it does not organize my music correctly. For example under one artist only one album will be shown when actually I have three in iTunes. But when I look under the albums category they all appear. How can I fix this?

There aren't any issues with the new iTunes. You need the most recent iTunes to sync your iPod

Disabling default Sync iTunes with iPod (special case)

I would sincerely appreciate it if someone could answer my question:
I want to know if I can disable the iTunes default were it "automatically copies the songs and playlists in your iTunes library to your iPod, and deletes songs from your iPod that aren't in your library" when you connect your iPod to your computer. I know that you can do this from the iTunes preferences, but this requires you to connect your iPod and therefore lose all the songs on the iPod that aren't in the library before you would be able to change the setting. (my library has changed a lot and I don't want to lose all the songs that are only on my iPod).
Is there some kind of keystroke that you can use to prevent this default script from running so that I can change the setting without losing all the songs unique to my iPod? Thank you.
+Possibly helpful info:+
I have iTunes 6.0.4 and an iPod Photo. I set up all of my music on my iPod using an earlier version of iTunes (likely version 5). In that earlier version, I changed the preference to disable auto-syncing, but I have since installed iTunes 6.0.4 and (can't tell)/(change the setting) unless I plug in my iPod

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. I believe this command has been the same from earlier versions of iTunes until now. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts

Sync itunes with ipod, imac and macbook air with iCloud

First post this for me in this community so hope format and protocols are okay....however, just installed Lion on my MacbookAir and hooked up to iCloud, then installed iOS 5 on my ipod 3rd gen via my imac (currently running Snow Leopard).
So far so good, re installation of itunes on my ipod was almost seamless and pretty painless, also hooked up to iCloud. Then purchased a couple of Apps on the iPod and noticed an almost immediate upload of the same on my iTunes store running on my iMac - Not yet installed with Lion and therefore not (as far as I was aware) hooked up to iCloud.....is this not a bit odd ??
Even odder perhaps is that the same apps have not shown up on my iTunes running on the Macbook Air.....perhaps explained by the following ??
A further problem is that having recently copied purchased CD content to my iTunes on my iMac, and then synced this to my iPod, once I connected my iPod to my Macbook Air I was told the iPod was synced to another iTunes library (presumably that on my iMac) and so was not able to complete a sync unless I erased the iPod library. Does this mean that I actually have two active iTunes accounts sotospeak, one on my MBA, one shared between my iMac and my iPod ? If so, how do I convert this to one running on all three and if that is possible, presumably the issues of syncing between all, and of downloading apps from iCloud will be resolved ?
Any clues or advice on how to sort this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Guess also worth noting that all three devices are authorised but I'm wary of re-authorising upon erasing itunes libraries (unless of course the limit of 5 authorisations is not meant to limit the number of times this is done - but simply the number of authorised devices active at any one time).

By subscribing. There're a lot of factors involved during a download: Network speed, computer used, iTunes availability etc.

Well, it depends on how big the podcast is. The bigger the longer.

It's I believe resident.

Sync ITunes with IPOD

How can I sync only certain musics or videos without deleting what is on the IPod. For exemple, my Itunes does not have all I have on the Ipod but it has some musics and videos that are not on the IPod yet and I want to sync. How shall I do. Thanks for any help

If the iPod has content that isn't in iTunes you can't sync (that is automatically update) the iPod from iTunes you have to update the iPod manually. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual. Click on the iPod icon to display the preference tabs then check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary and press the Apply button:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods:: Safely Disconnect IPod

Using new computer. Trying to sync itunes with IPod. Getting message that 65 of my 17k songs can't be synced because computer is not authorized. But when I try to authorize it says Itunes is busy

Just got a new Dell.
Copied over all music to computer and installed latest Itunes. When I am trying to sync i am getting a new error message that suggests 65 out of my 17000+ songs can't sync because the computer is not aauthorized. Everytime I click to authorize it says Itunes store is busy or unavailabe try again later. However the store opens when not syncing

Maybe:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone 5 to pc???

1)   How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone, 5c, 7.1.2., to pc?
2)   How to delete photos from iphone (when I pick a pic there's no option to delete from trash icon)?
3)   How do I get the app (VS) VarageSale back on my phone screen? It is only listed in settings > notifications.
4) Or how do I delete the VS from settings, so I can reinstall?
NOTE: I have been to Verizon and they could not help me and it is too far to go to an apple store. I have downloaded the apple manual and it is toooooo technical for me.

If you don't have a backup of your pc, you will have to use a third party solution to get your music back. Wiki has a [comparison of ipod managers|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers] here which you can look through to see if any meet your needs. I have used [CopyTrans|http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans.php] successfully but I did purchase it so I don't know what the free version supports.
You can [download purchased Apps for free|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519] but that won't work for music, movies, etc.
Hope that answers your question. Sorry about your lack of backup. Better luck next time.

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

Syncing ITunes with My documents music folder....?

Was just wondering if its possible to sync ITune with the music folder on my computer as it gets annoying having to add new music manually, especially as Windows media player does this automatically without causing duplicates...

iTunes doesn't do folder monitoring.
One possible workaround is to look at 3rd party solutions such as iTunes Library Updater:

Article about automating updater

iTsync, a non free commercial program is another possibility although I don't have any experience of either myself.

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.

Sync itunes with cloud

How do I sync my I tunes and cloud? When I sign into I-tunes it get a pop up that tells me my user name and password is correct for I tunes but not for cloud? I have already down loaded cloud but unable to sign into it?

You don’t sync iTunes with iCloud.

Can you sync Itunes with outlook for mac

Can you synce Itunes with Outlook fo MAC 2011?

Not directly. What you do is set Outlook to sync to Apple's databases (Address Book, iCal, etc) via Outlook's Tools menu -> Sync Services and then you can sync to an IOS device, which is what I presume you mean.
