TS1538 Ipod syncing help!

When I bought my ipod touch I set it up at work. But now we can't have itunes at work so I have to use my home computer. But when I go on my home computer, it cannot sync my ipod as it says it's not the default computer. I have unistalled it on my work computer. I have installed itunes at home. My ipad syncs but it doesn't recognize my ipod. Help!!

ITunes/iPod sync help needed!

So I have a 2nd gen iPod touch, and I buy all my music straight off of iTunes app. My old Mac computer (Let's call it Mac1) had all of my songs that I had bought on there prior to when we replaced it (may 2011). Then, we got Mac2. I can't put my songs that I bought after May 2011 onto Mac2, because it will only let me delete my ENTIRE library on my iPod (which has all of my purchased music on it). I don't want to lose those songs that I spent my money on. How do I make my iPod sync to a new computer and get the iPod's songs onto the computer?

Just transfer the iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You may also be able to redownload the music( and apps) by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Need ipod syncing help!!!!

Hello, back in september my Itunes PC crashed. I downloaded itunes for my new pc and plugged my ipod in to sync it up, it does not sync in the normal section anymore and shows up under devices (on the left hand side) it does not give me the option to look at artwork normally that way or organize my library the same way. (its kind of like when you plug a friends ipod into your itunes and it pops up as "friends ipod" and you can browse there stuff but not save it to your library) I wish tosave teh contents of my ipod with the itunes library. Any ideas on what to do? I'm not to tech oriented but can try and get by. Any help would be great! Thanks guys!

You need a separate program, have a look at this article, especially the section, "More Refined Methods":

I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

One song is not syncing with ipod touch - help!

it has synced the other songs I downloaded, but this one will not sync even though it is checked to sync, and appears in the playlist in iTunes. I've reset the iPod to no avail... it's an ipod touch 2nd gen. I've also removed and re-synced the entire playlist and it simply will not put this one track on the iPod. HELP!

I am having the same problem as well. One song, purchased from iTunes, will not sync to my iPod touch. It was on it last week, now it is not there. When I plug the iPod into my PC, the song is in my library and it shows it in the iPod playlist when connected to iTunes...but it is no where to be found on the iPod. I have tried to delete it from the playlist, and put it back in the playlist and re-sync, but it still is not there. It plays on my PC in iTunes. Any ideas out there for this one song issue? Thanks all.

Help: Capturing photos from camera while iPod sync

Big problem...
I started my canon sd600 camera to start capturing 90 pictures from my wife's birthay, but I was also sincronizing my ipod and both libraries are in an external LaCie drive.
Immediately after I turned on camera, the iPod Sync failed and also all pictures within iPhoto dissapeared... they were showing an admiration mark... I could only see the pictures just imported from the camera...
The only way I was able to see all pictures was to quit iPhoto and choose again the library. However, when I did this... there were NO pictures just captured!!!!!
Sadly I selected to delete the pictures in my camera after downloading them... Now I lost 90 pictures...
I believe they have to be somewhere since they were effectively captured... just need help to find them!
Can anyone of you friends help me?

Do a search on Macupdate using 'recover photos' and you'll get a lot of suggestions for Software that will recover the photos from your card.

Recover music from synced ipod (please help)

Hey everybody,
I hope someone can help me. I have a 160gb ipod classic. I'm currently in Japan. I connected my ipod to the hotel computer in order to charge it. However, since it has a Japanese language itunes, I accidently pressed the wrong button. My ipod synced with the hotel itunes, and I lost all my music- 9000 songs! however, i haven't added anything else to my ipod, so the music should still be on my hard drive, shouldn't it? if anyone knows a way to recover my music i would greatly appreciate it. peace!

The use of some data recovery software would be your only hope. Check out the post in the link.

IPod Nano Sync Help: Using "Checked songs only" feature

Hi
I just got an 8 gb nano and not used to selecting only part of my library for ipod sync(used to have a 20gb)
Problem: Sync not doing what i would expect
What i have done: I have unchecked most of my library so that it will fit in my ipod (i am not sure how many are checked/uncheked)
Also I have choosen the "only sync selected playlists"
What i want to do: i want to sync all the playlists + only checked songs
When i choose sync all playlists it tells me that the library dosen't fit
then, if i do "slected playlists" + checked songs, it only syncs the songs that are in the playlists and not all the checked songs
What is the hirerarky in the two options: is the "sync checked songs only" more iporatnt than the playlists
how can i get both : the checked songs only + my playlists?
thank you in advanced for your help

This issue has been posted several times; try to search for "ipod skipping songs".

Itunes / Ipod syncing.... HELP!

Hello,
I had my old Itunes Library on my Powerspec using W-XP PRO, then one day my PC started to cat funny... I think it was hacked, so then I decided to back up some of my items to an external HD! (I put my 5 Gigs of Music on my external HD) then my PC crashed, HD failed... It was not a good site!
Now I am using my older Dell 4300, using Windows 2000... I need to know how to get my Itunes Library back onto THIS PC! (Dell)
Should I just insert the HD onto this computer and copy all my music over to Itunes?
and then will my Ipod sync with this PC even though its a different PC? Do I have to authorize it?
Thanks in advance!
Eliott

It's certainly not true that only the newer iPods support mp3s. There seems to have been a number of problems with 7.2 and the release of the non-drm tracks from iTunes. It most often crops up with tracks that started out in life as drm tracks purchased through the iTunes store that were subseqently converted to non-drm tracks. Depending on how they were added to the library, it appears that iTunes thinks they are still the drm tracks but corrupted. Deggie's suggestion has worked for most folks, as best I can tell.
Best of luck.
