  • HELP!!!! Ipod nano synced with itunes but all purchased music do not play

    HELP, PLEASE HELP!!!
    I have two iPod nano's and both have the same issue. I can sync all of my music, single song whatever I like without any problems, however any music which I have purchased from Itures just skips on the nano when played back?
    I have done all of the other hints listed, including De-authorizing the PC, reset nano, restored the nano, exported libary/imported libary... you name it... still the misic I've paid for does not work
    I have just upgrade to iTunes 7, which all reports everything to be at the latest versions but still nothing works!
    Maybe a Sony or other MP3 player would have been the beter optoin for my kids at christmas after all!
    Please help!!

    The ipod is not a backup device.  the music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Why wont my ipod touch sync with itunes, and how can I fix it

    Key Facts:
    -I have an ipod touch (model number MC008LL)
         -It's probably running the same iOS id did in the package
    -It won't sync (and more importantly update to i0S5)
         -It's not a failed/slow sync, the option to sync as well as all other options under "Devices" is Grayed out
    -I am running iTunes 11.0.4
    -the Belkin cord I am using charges the ipod, and I think it was the one I used to sync it before.

    You have a 3G iPod and those can go as high as 5.1.1.  What exactly happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to update via iTunes? You need iTunes 10,5 or higher on the computer.
    After you get it updated see if syncs.

  • Why won't my 4s sync with iTunes 11.1.4 ANYMORE!

    Hello, so my phone has worked "OK" for the last year and a half.  I sync it probably once every other day to my itunes on my PC.  I am using ios7 by the way.  Well, starting last week, whenever I plug my phone or my iPads in to sync, the devices pop up the little message "Trust This Computer? Your Settings And Data Will Be Accessible From This Computer When Connected."  So Obviously I click on "Trust", but when I do, the computer makes the sound that it was just ejected or disconnected and it shows absolutely nothing on itunes.  I have re installed itunes 3 times, rebooted both my phone and computer, used different cords, different USB ports, checked through the settings, read up online, and tried the wireless syncing (but it is all grey on the devices and computer so I am even unable to click on it or try it.) They randomly once while I was out of town did the wireless sync, but my phone wasnt even plugged in to a power source and I wasnt trying to do any syncing at that time.  I seem to have run out of ways, options and patience, so I am on here asking YOU!  I am into various Art careers that require me to have updated devices with pictures, music, notes, dates, etc... on them constantly, and this is really setting me back.. big time! So if anyone has any experience or knowlege with this error, I would highly appreciated your assistance! Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon!

  • Why won't my iPhone sync with iTunes? I have just switched from Vista to Windows 7.

    I 'upgraded' from Vista to Windows 7 and now iTunes won't recognize my phone or iPad. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes; I have gone into device manager to check that the drivers for the phone are up-to-date and, apparently, they are. Still nothing. HELP! please....

    Make sure you use the same Apple ID as on the old computer and iCloud. 

  • Why won't my iPad sync with iTunes?

    It is stuck on the last step. i have restarted the computer and the iPad several times. it says "waiting for changes to be applied" and step"7 of 7" OR "step 8 of 8"...at the bottom, it shows in blue my audio capacity, however the iPad says there is no music in the library. at first it just wouldnt sync a few songs i bought on iTunes and showed them as shaded, now its taken all my music off the iPad and wont go past this last step. any further suggestions?

    Are you on wifi or 30pin to usb? (no difference to the prob, but a possible workaround later can be done if connected by cable).
    In the summary tab of your device in iTunes is your device set to Manually Manage in Options at the foot of the page.  And/or: -  Have you got a tick in the option 'sync only ticked songs and videos'?
    Can you confirm what options for syncing you have under the tab Music (same tab line as where it says Summary, Info, Apps,)
    Regards, Ct

  • 2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

    My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs.  It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

    If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes.  If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
    If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
    NOTE:  If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music.  Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content.  If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
    If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
    One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content).  Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

  • IPod touch won't mount or sync with iTunes?

    ok here's my problem, 2 days ago i bought an 8gb iPod touch.
    The first time i plugged it into my computer it mounted to iTunes and synced with iTunes seamlessly and quick.
    Now when i plug it in, it will not even show up in iTunes.
    So far i've tried
    -restarting my iPod Touch
    -deleting itunes then re-installing iTunes
    -restoring factory setting on iPod touch
    -turning the ipod off, then once i open itunes, turning it on
    nothing happens, itunes works fine, but my iPod just will not sync or mount to iTunes 8
    please! someone help me!

    ok i figured it out.. not what was wrong but what to do.. you have to restore your system without having the iPod connect of course.. then uninstall itunes and quicktime then delete every trace of them from your computer. (once you reinstall iTunes you will get back everything you had) then once you restart your computer reinstall itunes and restart your computer again. now plug ur iPod Touch in the computer and it will work then.
    same thing happened to mine.. it took a while to figure it out but i got it...
    you have to uninstall them then delete it from program files... now it works perfectly

  • Is a 1st generation iPod nano compatibale with iTunes 12?

    I have a 1st gen iPod Nano (lucky me, but I like it).  After downloading iTunes 12 the iPod will not sync with iTunes.  Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.  That did not work.  Called Apple and they said the iPod may not be compatible with iTunes 12.  So they were no help at all.  You would think they would know the answer.  Tried going back to an earlier version of iTunes but it will not play my library since it was created with a newer version.  So it sounds like I'm pretty much screwed unless I buy a new iPod.  Anyone have any suggestion.

    Glad you were able to sort it out - iPod cables and USB ports can sometimes by mysterious in their variability - though in your case the symptoms suggest that a conductor may have failed inside the cable you were using.  I've found that, using a selection of cables:
    my 2G nano will occasionally be detected as being connected via USB 1.0 (even when connected to 2.0 ports)
    my 3G nano syncs fine but steadfastly refuses to charge when connected to any of the USB ports on my main computer, though using the same cable charges happily when connected to a USB AC adapter
    Such things are just sent to annoy us
    On your other question, it is possible to completely replicate your library across two or more PCs.  As long as the iTunes database (iTunes Library.itl) is duplicated as well as all your media you then have two physical copies of one logical library, with which iDevices will sync on either computer.  See turingtest2's notes on  Make a split library portable to see how to verify that your library is in a consistent structure to make replication easier, and Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy on one method for replication (typically using an external hard drive that also serves as a regular backup).  My configuration looks like this:
    where the library on my "master" system is replicated, using MS SyncToy and an external HDD, to two other systems - a secondary one at home and one in my office at work.  My iDevices will sync to any of these without the "threat" of wiping their content because iTunes detects that they've been previously synced to a different library - because of the replication method used the "unique" library identifier that iTunes uses in the sync process is actually the same on all three systems.
