HELP: iTunes 6 unable to sync songs with ipod - hangs freezes crashes
Hi,
This has been posted before, but a search of 500 messages have turned up no solutions. Anyone who has any idea of a solution please help.
PROBLEM:
iTunes 6 and ipod 5th gen unable to sync songs or manually move more than 50 songs at a time to ipod. It hangs / freezes / crashes when updating the ipod. It will stop at 50 songs, 100 songs, sometimes even 2200 songs - out of 8000.
The "Beachball of death" comes on, and there is no way to force quit or stop the now frozen update. The only thing that gets a response is pulling the ipod from the dock or powering the computer down manually.
TRIED:
1. Repair permissions
2. Update ipod with latest ipod update software
3. Restore ipod " " " " '
4. Used Activity Monitor to see where program hangs - no added info, it will stop randomly at different songs, and next time around it will pick another son to hang / freeze at
5. uncheck "put hard disks to sleep when possible" in Energy Preferences pane
I am at my wits end with this..... will try anything.... even Voodoo at this point as long as you tell me it worked for you!
Anyone ever solved this long standing problem (which seems to be present with iTunes 7 as well) ?
Thanks !

As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

Still vague. Does the iPod appear in iTunes when you connect the iPod to your PC via the USB sync cable that it came with?

Unable to sync songs tagged as 'Explicit' to my iPhone.
I am unable to sync songs tagged as 'Explicit' to my iPhone. All other songs sync fine.
Do you have Restrictions turned on on your phone? If so, then under "Allowed Content" you need to make sure that you have the "Explicit" option turned on for Music and Podcasts.
Cheers,

I am unable to sync songs to my iphone
I am unable to sync songs to my iphone.
Assuming you aren't manually managing your music in iTunes, check the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct sync your phone. -

First off, you don't have an iPod classic, it was never issued in a 30GB version. Check this link to see what iPod you have.

Secondly, it may help to provide further info such as whether you are using the iPod automatically or manually to transfer music and whether or not you see any error messages.
Does iTunes see the iPod? What happens when you try to transfer songs? -
Ipod unable to sync songs from itunes store
So I just bought a new MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.3.. I have transferred my itunes library from my old ibook and all the songs are there. I just tried syncing my ipod, authorized my 2 accounts from itunes, and all but 56 songs were synced. I get an error message saying "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer".. I go to the store menu and authorize both of my known accounts and i get a message saying "these accounts are already authorized".. The only thing I can think of is that my roommate bought songs on itunes with her account, so I asked her for her username and password but it says the username/ password were entered incorrectly. I have tried multiple times and i know im entering her name and password correctly... Is there any other way to get these 56 songs to sync to my ipod? Its just annoying me! Please help!!

if you select one of those tunes in iTunes, right-click and +get info+, and check the summary pane, you will be shown who purchased the track and the account used. is that different from the accounts you authorized iTunes for ?
if not, try the suggestions click here.

Unable to sync 2 different iPods
I have 2 separate folders for 2 iPods. iPod(1) installs with no problem. When I plug in the iPod(2), I get "Some items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they could not be found". I then click 'Ok'. Then I goto iPod(2), then Music, 'Sync Music' is ticked, then tick folder called '2gb iPod music'. The message stating 'some items in the iTunes libarary were not copie...' appears, then it starts copying but only copies a few tracks then stops. On Summnary tab, 'sync only checked songs' is selected. Please can you advise? I look forward to your assistance.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click the Music tab.
Select *Sync music* and All *songs and playlists*.
If Yes is selected, it creates a new playlist with the songs from iPod(1) folder.
It should select songs from the entire library, not only from a specific playlist.
Let it do that, then do it again and selec tonyl the playlis you want.
You can then delete this new playlist it created. -
I cannot sync songs and it doesn't show that I am connected to the cloud on my desktop. Just downloaded a bunch of songs and have no way to sync them to my ipod eventhough the ipod is connected and syncing.

OK, I finally got it - do the following:
1. Connect Pre to your computer in USB mode.
2. Open search feature and search for "ipod controls" file in the Pre drive (on my computer this is drive E
3. On the search feature, go to advanced tab and tell it to search for hidden files.
4. It should find ipod controls.
5. DELETE, DELETE, DELETE
Keep in mind that this will delete all previously uploaded music installed by using *ughhh* itunes. I love it. Now I just drag and drop all music to my Pre drive. Hope this helps. It is nice to have a fresh start without having to wipe the entire phone. Good luck out there.
This worked brilliantly!!! Thank you so much!! Pre is set......only issue now is that fact that half my music in iTunes is in a Protected AAC file format that the Pre can't play
