Why can't I sync my ipod with iTunes 7.0.2?

I'm using itunes 7.0.2 and am having problems syncing my ipod. I have recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, including itunes. My whole library was lost. When I reinstalled itunes the library was empty and so it erased all the songs off my ipod when i connected and synced it. I later filled the library in the newly installed itunes and now when i want to sync the ipod it says "Songs on the ipod "XY" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I also can't update manually,so i'm basically left with a useless ipod.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

Thank you for your effort but when i create a new smart playlist and choose it as the playlist to sync to, i get the message "You changed your ipod settings. Would you like to apply them?" When i click APPLY, i get a new message, saying "The ipod "XY" cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)." Also, my nano goes to charge mode (no "don not disconnect" sign) as soon as i get the old message "The ipod cannot be updated because the playlist no longer exist"...

  • Why can't I sync my iPod to iTunes wirelessly?

    I have windows 7, the latest version of iTunes, an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5 installed.  I have checked the "sync iPod by wi-fi" and have synced the iPod whilst still plugged in, and I am on the same wireless network, I am plugged into a power source, and I have restarted the iPod, iTunes, and even the entire computer itself, and yet the device is still not recognized when not connected and I still cannot sync wirelessly. I can view and play shared files from my computer wirelessly, but I cannot sync or even be discovered wirelessly. I've read forum after forum, tried advice after advice (afore mentioned) yet nothing... What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do right?

    Yeah, same issue with me. Connected on the same network yet my iPod doesn't automatically appear in iTunes. So basically, we can't sync wirelessly on demand? What gives?

  • Why can't I sync my iphone with itunes on 2 pc's?

    When I first purchased my iphone I synced it with itunes on the family pc.
    Now that I also have a laptop, which is my main source for all things computerised, I am unable to do anything other than software updates and add music.
    None of the apps that show in my itunes will transfer to my iphone, is there a way around this or am I doing something wrong?

    Iphone will sync/manage itunes content with one and only one computer at a time.  If you sync/manage with another it will erase the current content.
    This is the design of the iphone.

  • When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise?

Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

    Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

    I just installed Lion yesterday, and am running iTunes 10.4.   First attempt to sync since upgrade.
    Thanks

    Yup,
    Me too...this is stupid, stupid, stupid. Just purchased my 200 (ish) mac and now I am told that my new Mac Book pro is not "authorized".
    Which if my 200 macs are authorized. Can someone please tell me???
    I "deauthorized" my old MBP and still told I cannot use my iPhone with iTunes.
    Interesting that my old $2500 MBP, my new $3000 MBP and my $500 iPhone all cannot work cuz of some pinhead's decision to use this assorization process.
    Yes I am very, very, very mad.

  • Each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This happened after the latest download, any suggestions?

    each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This started happening after the latest download and my latest purchase.  The latest purchase doesn't show up on my iPod and itunes freezes at synching step 2 on 2.  Any suggestions?

    You should Reset your iPod, by
    1. Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 Secs till the Apple Logo comes ON.
    2. Disconnect the sync cable.
    3. Check the iPod Welcome screen, select language, go to menu (if you are lucky, your music are still on the iPod.)
    if your iPod doesn't show the Welcome screen, bring it to Apple Store.
    If the above is okay, (can see Menu but no Music)
    4. Close iTunes and Reboot your PC.
    5. Start iTunes
    6. Connect the iPod to the Sync cable.
    7. if iTunes ask to Restore, please do so.
    8. Sync your iPod. ( I would advise you to disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus program when doing this.)
    Good Luck.

    when you connect your ipod to your computer, click on your ipod in itunes and go through all the tabs, making sure that your ipod is set to automaticly sync your playlists.

  • I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
    It is simply a list of songs in the library
    Do you want the playlists or not?
    Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied backinto iTunes?
    Do you want them copied back into iTunes?

  • How or can you sync older ipods with Itunes Match?

    How or can I sync my second generation IPod with ITunes Match?

    For iPods, iTunes Match only works with iPod touch, because it is an iOS device (like iPhone and iPad).  Even for iPod touch, it must be 3rd or 4th gen (running iOS 5 or later). 

  • Why can I not sync my iPod Classic?!

    When trying to sync my iPod classic iTunes says it cannot be synced because "the required folder cannot be found". I have a PC and I have no problems syncing my iPhone 5c and iPad 3. Is there anyway I can fix this?

    You may want to check ur settings. when you plug in ur ipod make sure it is highlighted then at the top of the page you will see tabs Summary Music Podcast Info....click on the MUSIC tab...in that box there will be 2 options:
    Sync Music
         Entire Music Library
         Selected playlist, artist, albums, and genres
    MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHECKED OFF ENTIRE MUSIC LIBRARY
    I hope this works....Let me know

  • HT4527 how do i sync my ipod with itunes on a new computer, when i don't have access to my old computer?

    how do i sync my ipod with i tunes on a new computer when i don't have access to my old computer?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
