Trouble synching ipod.

I have an ipod 5th gen. When I connect to itunes, my ipod shows up but I keep getting an error message 13019 saying that my ipod can't be synched "due to an unknown error" The only change that I have made is to have updated to the current version. My system is windows Vista. Any advice?

Hello njhg,
Even though this article is not intended for Nanos, several users have indicated that the suggested fix worked for them.

Trouble synching ipod classic

hey guys,
I'm having problems with my ipod not synching to my itunes. Itunes registers my ipod but it won't synch. I have rebooted my ipod and I have the current version of both my ipod and my itunes.
Will I lose info on my itunes if I remove it and reinstall it?

Hint elsewhere in this thread solved my issue. Turned off the equalizer on each and every file. Originally, to save disk space, I had put "none" for each file. Then, as I found that I had a tun of room on the 160 Classic, I added the appropriate "Pop, Rock, Classical, Spoken Word" etc. for each track. A few disk back ups ago, I had NOT added the equalizer settings. Couldn't get synched thereafter. Once I removed them--voila! I'm synched! Thanks to whomever posted that info. . .

Trouble synching ipod with itunes

Laptop had a virus which ate its way through most things including itunes (everything was gone). PC World have fixed it but after downloading itunes again and synching in my ipod, the only songs/albums that have been synched have been those purchased from the itunes store itself. Songs purchased via a CD or downloaded from Amazon have not been synched back in. Is there any way of getting itunes to take these songs back on board as it is a bit off it only accepts songs purchased from its own store only.
Many thanks in advance

itunes/ipods were deliberately designed that way - only purchases can easily be restored from the ipod. And even that is a fairly recent development; itunes v4,v5,v6 couldn't even transfer purchases easily. It's all about the record companies....it doesn't really stop music theives, just makes it harder for honest folks to recover from a hard drive disaster.
Your best bet is page 3 from this iLounge article:

It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
- Unsyncing all music and resysncing
- Restoring the iPod
BTW, yo posted in the iPod touch forum

Since downloading 11.0.1 (12), Itunes can't locate or play many songs but the same songs still play on my synched iPod.

Since downloading Itunes 11.0.1 (12), Itunes can't locate or play many songs but the same songs still play on my synched iPod. I have a MacBook Air, Lion OS, Itunes version 11.0.1 (12). I didn't see this problem with older versions of Itunes. I do not manually change the organization of the Itunes library. I use the Itunes "add to library" feature or Amazon's MP3 downloader. Sometimes, however, I have changed song information in the "info" window. Such as unchecking the "compilation" button and sorting by artist (for that song), so that I can search by artist in the top pane of Itunes (otherwise the song is sorted in an album that is a "compilation," but not under the name of the artist who sang a particular song. I've done this without problem in the past, but perhaps the newer version of Itunes can't handle the changes I made and has lost track of where the older version of Itunes stored such songs? How do I fix all these older previously ok changes if that's the case... If I could just find where they are stored in Itunes it would be easier perhaps. I've looked in compilations, unknown artist, and so forth to no avail. And Finder search can't find them.
Details: suddenly, many songs are marked with "!," denoting that Itunes cannot find the songs in the library and cannot play them. Oddly, my iPod CAN play the "unlocatable" songs with no problem (it has been synched "post problem"). So the songs are still there somewhere in the Itunes library. This problem occurs by album, that is, all songs from the same album become unlocatable, although different albums by the same artist may still be found and played.
Exploring the Itunes library to try to locate the missing albums/songs, I discovered that generally there is no longer any folder specified for any artist associated with a missing album [artist is the top level of organization and album is the second; compilations are in the same folder]. This is true even if I have other albums from the same artist which Itunes IS able to locate. I cannot find a single song/album by such artists anywhere in the Itunes file system, even the ones that Itunes can still play. If I right click and "get info" for an unlocatable song, I get a notification box that asks if I want to locate the file. If I click "no," next thing-- the info window for the song pops up, with all the correct info (including sort info, which I double check)! Why is Itunes able to locate all the info on the song, but is not able to play the MP3 file?
Using Finder I cannot locate the songs that are unlocatable by Itunes (except the original download files in the Amazon MP3 folder). Finder is, of course, able to find Itunes songs that Itunes has no trouble locating. What's up?! My iPod can find them just fine. I just synched my iPod again and am playing the "unlocatable" songs right now.
I can "fix" most of these files by downloading files one by one into Itunes from my Amazon download folder or from my CDs using the "add to library" feature. In fact, it is strange. But this will take a very long time! And what if this problem continues recurring? But something strange happens when I implement this fix. I added one song to Itunes (from the Amazon MP3 folder, using "add to library") for one "unlocatable" album of Pete Seegers. After adding that one song, I looked at the Itunes music library and discovered that a folder for Pete Seeger (which was not there before I added the song) had been newly created, or restored. In this folder was the one song I had just added, but ALSO all my other Seeger albums that had previously remained "locatable" by Itunes. But the other "unlocatable" songs were not restored, unfortunately.

I have found a workaround. When I create a new playlist, iTunes allows me to add or remove songs from existing playlists for a short while. Then, for some reason it prevents me from adding and deleting songs again. Not sure why. Go figure.

im having trouble connecting ipod to denon avr x1000

Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

I'm in trouble, my iPod Touch is giving 4th shock when recharge and the battery does not last any more. who knows or has a similar problem, please help me. Note: all this after I downloaded the new version OS5.

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

Trouble synching in iTunes 10

I'm having trouble synching my iPhone 3GS. I want to upgrade to the latest version of software for the iPhone but when I try, I get a message informing me that there are purchases on my phone that need transferring.
I have backed up my phone several times and right clicked the phone icon in the device section and selected "transfer purchases". It seemed to do that yet each time I still get the error message that purchases need to be transferred.
I have tried reinstalling iTunes 10. Also when I look at the applications tab, it is frayed out and I can't move any of the application between pages...
Any suggestions?

Nevermind, I was wrong about something....but if anyone's having similar trouble, this was really helpful. https://discussions.apple.com/message/12269053#12269053

Tying to synch iPod touch

Does anyone know how to synch iCal on my macbook pro with the calendar on my iPod touch... I have followed about 20 different step by step guides and everytime I think I must have sorted it, it fails... Everything else seems to work seemlessly with hardly any IT skills needed, but this reminds of the old days when you needed to be an IT expert to set up an email account.
Also I can't set up an iCloud clendar on my powerbook - do I need to upgrade to Lion for that?
Going nuts here

Actually, we also plugged in our ipod Nano, and all the songs on it were uploaded onto the new itunes library and had no problem with the Nano. However, when it came to the ipod touch, well, as you can see we've had issues. I didn't want to have to restore the device if not needed. It sounds like we need to synch ipod touch with our original PC itunes library. Thanks IIIaass!

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
TIA
Brandy

Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
Thanks again!

Synching ipod not recognised

Anyone else having problems synching ipods?
My wifes Nanon and my ipod classic seem to have become unrecognisable to our computer in last 2 weeks?
Have now uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but to no avail.
Any thoughts?
Dell 64 bit computer and have loaded correct version.

Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

You also may have to place the iPod in recovery mode. For how see:

hi cengl!
let's try heading to the itunes and ipod software download pages and downloading the update from there:
iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
Ipod Updater Installer
i notice that you're running McAfee. if you run into an odd problem where you can't see the download controls (there's a blank blue box on the itunes download page, for example), try:
iTunes download button isn't visible on the Download webpage
keep us posted.

I'm having trouble synching my Outlook Calendar with my iPhone iniTunes
We use Outlook in my office so it’s the only Calendar I use, so I can share inter-office
Used to use Mobile Me and I terminated that. Prior to this Outlook synched fine.
Prior to having my iPhone I only had one type of Calendar in Outlook
I know have 'Calendar 5' on my Outlook, but that doesn't show up on my iPhone.
iPhone does give me several other numbered Calendars – but no ‘Calendar 5’
I need to figure a way to get all this synched correctly
very frustrating!

Synching iPod Locks Up iTunes

I'm using iTunes 9.11, and whenever I connect my ipod, iTunes appears to start to synch (the iPod shows up in iTunes and says synching iPod, do not connect). Then almost immediately, iTunes gives me the spinning beach ball.
I reset my iPod, and it still does this. The only way out is to force quit out of iTunes.
I'm not sure this is relevant, but I recently changed my Apple ID to reflect a new email address. I'm not sure if that helps, but that's something that is "different" from before.
Thanks for all input.

Hello eightfifteen,
Try reformatting the iPod using *Disk Utility* and then restore via iTunes. Here are instructions if need be.

Or if possible, try restoring the iPod on another system to see if that does any good.

Trouble with ipod recognizing apple id after synching - it keeps telling me to reset my password. I did

Hi! I just synched/updated my ipod touch. Now when I went to use it I received a mesg saying that the Restore was successfully completed and I just need to follow a few steps and I'm done! I follow the steps and it asks me for my apple id and password, I hit next and it asks me for my apple id email then I get a message saying to try another id, this one is being used. If this is my account then I need to reset my password at iforgot.apple.com. I reset my password and it still is not working....What did I do wrong? Please help! It is much appreciated since I am really severely technoloically challenged. THANK YOU!

Hello LeloChick,
It sounds like you are being prompted that your Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons, and even though you have reset the password, it keeps re appearing. If you have done all the steps outlined in the following article:
Apple ID: 'This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons' alert appears
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446
I would next reach out to our iTunes Account Security team with this link:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
