Trouble with syncing

When trying to sync my playlists it seems to freeze and not sync them the a box pops up and says "The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read or written to." I was only able to add one playlist but have not been able to add any others. I tried restoring that worked at first and one playlist was added, I restored a couple more time but it seemed to freeze and now won't restore. Do I need to send it in I still have a warranty on it. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.

  • New itunes, trouble with syncing

    My itunes was recently removed from my computer, and im having a little bit of trouble with it. is it possible to put the music from my ipod to my itunes? because its not letting me.

    Kim, sorry, but I couldn't get what you are trying to do.
    iTunes jargon
    RESTORE - to erase all data, ie music, address, video etc in the connected iPod and populate them with factory settings.
    Why do we need to do this? When the iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted and the iTunes cant map the iPod hardisk file structure, to add new data, music, videos etc.
    SYNC - The process, where iTunes overrides all data, music, videos in the iPod, with the iTunes Library. So if the iTunes library in your PC is blank, then iTunes will erase your iPod, till blank.
    iTunes Library - the folder in your PC/MAC that contains all your data/music/video etc. The iTunes does not treat the iPod as a store, but rather as huge landfill, so you need 3rd party software to recover any data from the iPod back to the PC/MAC.

  • Updating my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS5 - I'm having trouble with syncing in general.

    I first synced my iPod touch to my old computer on iTunes, and then I got my laptop and I downloaded iTunes, plugged in my iPod, and use it to download music. But the old computer broke, and we got a new one, with a different hardrive and everything. I didn't mind, because I was content with just using iTunes on my laptop for searching for and downloading music. The iOS 5 update came out, and at first I wasn't bothered, but now it seems to be hindering the performance of iTunes in general, as I can't download music off my computer - it keeps coming up with Error 13019.
    I looked on tons of support forums, and they all mentioned syncing music and apps. I didn't think that would be a problem, but whenever I tick the box saying 'sync music', the memory bar goes RIGHT DOWN, as if it's deleting all the songs I got off CDs, which I don't want, and whenever I tick the box saying 'sync apps', it comes up with all the apps I had a few months ago, missing out all of the apps I have now, which would no doubt delete my progress on them.
    I've even tried just clicking 'sync' on the main device page, but it just comes up with Error 13019.
    And every time I right click on my iPod's name to click 'back up' as many of the forums said, iTunes freezes and nothing happens for about 10 minutes, and I end up having to force close it on the task manager. This has happened 4 times already. -_- I've even updated iTunes to the most recent version, but nothing's changed.
    I'm scared to update my iPod, because of course it says it will delete everything, and there's no way I can back things up or sync them without them getting deleted.
    Any suggestions on what the heck I should do? By the way, I'm an amateur in the technology world, so please don't use too many fancy words. =)

    Try here first to get rid of the error:
    iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
    Then you should be ablt to make the backup. Just not that the backup that iTunes makes does not insluced synced media like apps and music.
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    - You can transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here. Google for more.

  • Hi, i'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. (after the latest iTunes-update)

    It's a classic, but I have no idea what generation... but it was bought in early 08, and have 80gb. Anyway, it has been working fine all the time, but by the latest iTunes-update, it has stopped working. (mac) Every time I try to connect it with my computer, iTunes says that "this iPod appears to be destroyed, try to restore" (I'm having iTunes in Norwegian, so not sure if this is the direct translation, but hopefully you'll get the picture) - and I try to do this, again and again, but nothing seems to work. I have tried to turn off the computer, put iPod in disc-mode, let the battery run out, give it a two-week break, and now I'm out of guesses on what to do. But no matter what I do it allways appear to have zero songs on it after I am done syncing, and I allways get the "try to restore"-message when i connect it again.
    It's possible that it's just old age or something, but I really want to try everything first, as it seems to be all right otherways. It also works when I connect it with my friend's  PC, but since she has ****** taste of music () it's not an option. I have a MacBook, also from 2008.
    And just to clearify. I have an iPad2, and an old iPod nano (2006) and both works with my computer/iTunes.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Serious trouble with syncing

    A few weeks ago I've discovered that my 8G Nano won't sync after I plug it in, it will just freeze and do nothing - it will sync automaically when it's first plugged in, but if I want to sync it again I have to unplugg it and then plugg in again.
    And today it converted all my music to a select playlist because I had no free space, and now I can't reset or restore it. It says that "all playlists no longer exist" and everytime I unplugg it and plugg in again, the settings will be just the same, with the select playlist.
    What can I do??

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response.
    Well, I have it turned on, if that's what you mean. On both the phone and the computer (when phone is hooked up) I have the message that the last time I synced was 9/17/13. Every once in a while, while charging the phone overnight, with wireless on, I get a message saying that in order for iCloud backup to work the phone must be plugged in and connected to a wireless network. Apparently there is a failure to communicate with the mother ship, despite my following instructions.
    My suspicion is that this failure is related to the failure to sync with iTunes, but I'm just guessing.

  • I am having trouble with syncing my iPhone 5 to my iTunes on my macbook

    I have been trying to sync my iphone 5 with my macbook but itunes keeps saying 'error (-54)'. I downloaded new albums and they will not sync onto my iphone, and this has never been a problem in the past. Also, on my itunes, when i click on 'Iphone' it shows some of the song titles faded out with a dotted circle beside them, indicating that they cannot be played. I have tried restarting my mac but it has not worked. Could anyone help me?

    Hello, katieokane1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like a possible permission issue with the iTunes Media Folder.  Follow the steps in the article below to make sure the permissions are set to read and write.  You can also navigate to ~/music/iTunes/iTunes Media and get info on to make sure permissions are set to read and write.

  • TS3988 Trouble with Syncing with iCloud and my Mac (and iPhone)

    I have moved my @me.com account to iCloud. Now it doesn't sync with any my devices. I can access iCloud itself and have full view of calendars, etc. They are incorrect as they are not synced with my Mac and doesn't update my iPhone.  I have tried to check my account subscription but cannot find it on iCloud.
    Can anyone help?
    Warm regards
    Jeff

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Trouble with syncing apps

    Bought some new apps for my iPod Touch but for some reason it won't let me sync them. Tried the apps page through the devices link but it looks disabled. It won't let me click on anything. Everything else on the iPod works fine.

    Is the computer you normally sync the iPod with?  Have you checked to make sure the restriction for Installing Apps has not been enabled?  To check, head to settings -> general -> restrictions.

  • Trouble with sync -- Outlook, XP, Error 0x80040057

    My tasks and calendar are in Outlook.  I just bought the BB to enable me to carry all this with me, but I like to do as much as possible on the desktop, then sync to the BB.
    Problem -- trying to sync Outlook calendar and tasks won't work.  I get error 0x80040057.  Check Documentation.
    Upgraded from Desktop Manager 4.5 to 4.7. -- didn't help.
    I REALLY don't want to switch from outlook to some other calendar program. 
    Any suggestions?

    BB techs got my problem solved.  It turns out that 4.5 and 4.7 Desktop Mgr don't support Outlook 2000.  We had to go back to Desktop Mgr 4.2.2 and even then had to drop in some different drivers to get everything to work.
    Up to speed now, though...thanks to the BB techs.

  • More trouble with Sync

    When I try to update and Sync new songs onto my Ipod (I click file scroll down and hit "Sync Ipod")
    On the top of my iTunes is flashes "Syncing iPod Do Not Disconnect" for about one second, and then it just says "iPod sync is complete OK to disconnect". My iPod doesnt flash the usual update screen at all, and there is none of the new music I tried to put on my iPod.
    Anyone have any words of wisdom to share?

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Having trouble with syncing calendars between iPhone 5s, iPad, MacBook Pro after changing apple id

    I signed out of an old apple id on my iPhone 5s and signed in with a current apple id.  Backed up my iPhone to the cloud.  After this, I lost the calendar information on my MacBook Pro (Phone and MacBook Pro used to have calendars that were synced).  I also signed in to an iPad with this current apple id.  I have checked the apple id that I am signed into on all 3 devices (iPhone 5s, MacBook Pro, iPad 2) and it is the same on all 3.  The phone has my calendar info.  The MacBook Pro and the iPad are blank, but they do communicate because I can send a test appointment and it will show up on the MacBook Pro and the iPad but not the phone.
    Contacts were not affected.  I have the contacts on all three devices. 
    I have gone thru most of the troubleshooting on the apple website.
    Help!

You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID." The only thing I did that started this nightmare was go into Apple ID and click edit for email and enter the new one. That's it. 
    Because your old AppleID is used used an you alternate email.
    Remove it as your alternate email.

  • Trouble with syncing my Iphone.

    I was using a 8g 3Gs Iphone and I'm needing to sync it to my Itunes account and transfer my purchases, but every time I try to sync my phone Itunes is recognizing the phone under my sister's name but with my serial # and phone #.  I can get to step 5 of the syncing process and then I get an error message that talks about my sister's phone not being connected, so the syncing can not be completed. 
    I'm needing to get my phone synced and the purchases transferred, so I can then switch over to a 32g 4G Iphone but I don't want to lose everything that I have already purchased on my old phone.

    Find a new friend. If you don't have access to the last computer your phone synced with, you will have to force your phone into recovery mode & restore it as a new device to remove the passcode. All data on your phone will be lost:
    Turn the phone off using the Sleep/Wake button, then the slide to power off. If you are unable to do that, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, you will only be able to restore as new.
