Unable to sync my Ipod classic

Someone please help. I received an Ipod classic in August 2008 and created an itunes library which included some of my own CDs. I received a new laptop at chistmas and thats when the trouble started. I was unable to view all the audio books that were on my library. Then it got worse, I downloaded podcasts on sunday evening and now my Ipod will not sync my music, music videos or audio books. I have tried resetting the ipod but without success. I have read a few postings and I think that the problem maybe with itunes. I have also tried getting the music through windows media player but then I get no artwork. Please help

Help. Suddenly unable to sync my ipod classic

Help! i-tunes no longer recognises my i-pod classic. As soon as I connect my i-pod, i-tunes freezes. And when I unplug it I get one of two messages 'The ipod (name) cannot be synched. the required file cannot be found' or 'The ipod (name) cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-124). I have re-installed i-tunes on my computer and also reset my i-pad but nothing seems to help. My ipod plays fine but I am unable to load any new music which is soooooooooooo frustrating. Any help and advice would be really appreciated.

Syncing my iPod classic with Itunes on Windows 8

Hello,
I completed an itunes update a few days ago. Since that time; I have been unable to sync my iPod classic with my library or even manage it. I have been searching and see that this has become an issue for many people who use Windows 8. Is there any way I can fix this issue? I do not want to manage my iTunes music on the cloud. I just want to be able to plug in my iPod and manage it through iTunes. Is there any way I can do this?
I contacted support for assistance, but didn't really receive any answers to my questions. The first reply was asking me what my issue was (when I had already wrote a lengthy explanation of the issues I was having) and the follow-up said that I needed to call to speak with a representative to see about support options including fee-based support. I don't feel that I should have to pay fee to understand why I can no longer sync my iTunes with my iPod. I have many songs in my library and I have paid for them all. Why can't I have access to them on my iPod? As it is; I can't even manage my playlists anymore.
I am considering selling my iPod if I can't get this issue resolved. I really don't want to because it is still fairly new, but I don't see any reason to keep it if I can't use it.
If anyone has any feedback or knows something that might help me get this sorted out I would be very grateful!
Thanks--

how did you fix it?

Unable to sync any iPod in iTunes -- corefp.dll error in windows

I have a frustrating problem with iTunes and need help. I've been using iTunes for several years and have had no problems. Last night I tried to sync and received an error from iTunes saying that iTunes had encountered an error. In looking at the error message, it referenced the file corefp.dll. I've tried syncing three of my iPods, and the same thing happens. The iPods are recognized and they start to synch but after a few minutes I get the error message. iTunes sync's fine with my AppleTV, but not with any of my iPods.
I've uninstalled iTunes and reninstalled it, used the Apple Update service to see if there were any new updates (there were none) but that did not help. I also deauthorized my computer with the iTunes store and then reauthorized it. That also did not help. Everything I have in iTunes has been purchased. Everything works in Apple TV.
I'm using Windows XP (latest service pack) and the latest version of iTunes. My iPod touch has the newest version operating system (I believe it's 2.2.1)
Any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks

I am also unable to sync my iPod classic to iTunes 8.0.2.20 (my Apple TV would sync just fine). I read on other threads that there is an issue related to DRM. I deauthorized my computer, and the sync completed fine (minus the DRM songs of course). Apple has an issue to fix

I can't sync my iPod classic any longer to itunes on my iMac because it tells me I no longer have the priviledge to make changes? does anyone have a solution to this?

Hello Zabagon,
I was looking through our resources for information based on what you are describing here. I found an article that may just get you back up and running, called iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277.
Symptoms
With Mac OS X, the Shared folder is required to authorize your iTunes Store purchases. With Windows the iTunes folder is also required. If either of these folders are missing or have incorrect folder permissions, you may notice one of the following symptoms:
You are unable to complete a purchase from the iTunes Store.
You are told that you do not have permission to modify your iTunes Media folder when downloading from the iTunes Store.
You cannot play content you purchased from the iTunes Store.
An alert appears with the following text:"There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required directory was not found or has a permission error."

Mac OS X
Log in to your computer using an administrator account.
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.

Take care,

Media unable to sync to iPod

Hey everyone. I am having an issue with my iTunes and iPod Classic not syncing some of my media. There are a few video's that are coming up with an "unable to sync as iPod does not support this format" message. The format is an MPEG4 video file. The problem here is that I have other MPEG4 video files synced to my iPod.
How can I correct this issue and can it even be corrected?

Perhaps this article can shed a little light on your problem.

Try another Sync. On occasions, I've know a first Sync to behave like this.

How can I sync my iPod classic to another iTunes library

I need to sync my iPod classic to a new computer shared with my wife how can I sync my music to her library?

Hello eddie8625,
I would recommend enabling 'manual mode' on the iPod so that it can be synced to two libraries without affecting the existing content on the device.

How can I sync my ipod classic 4th gen to new itunes

I updated iTunes and now I can't sync my ipod classic 4th gen.

Start with this article: iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

I am trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes 11.0.4 but cant. Cant find source on itunes either.

I am trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes 11.0.4 but cant. Cant find source on itunes either. Can anyone tell me what procedure to follow. I also cant find source on itunes. Ipod do show the connection but cant see anywhere on Itunes
can any one help with any information

I'm having sync issues too since I've updated to 11.0.4. My ipod 160 will no longer sync properly or will hang when attempting to sync yet my 4th gen touch doesn't have any problems. I am thinking about uninstalling it and rolling back to an older version of itunes.

IPod classic displays 'No music' after sync, HDD problem? Geschiedenis • Verwijder So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn't find any files on the iPod anymore. H

So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
Thanks in advance!

Hi turingtest2,
Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists?

My computer has had a new operating system put on Windows 7 but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authorised.

My computer has had a new operating system put on (Windows 7) but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authororized. I tried doing this via my account in the Itunes Store but it still won't allow me to do this. Can anyone help?

Contact Apple customer support, they can reset your authorizations.

I'm trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes but the error message says that it can't be synced because the required disck can't be found. What does this mean?

I'm trying to sync my ipod classic with my itunes library, but I get a message saying it can't be synced because the required disk can't be found. How do I find what this disk is? I have over 2,000 songs in my itunes library but only 497 sync. Help!

Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

Follow step 5 in this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538. Updating the driver should do the trick.
