Why won't my ipod classic 80gb no longer synch after latest itune version updates

Why will my ipod classic 80 g ipod no longer synch after upgrading my itunes? I went from the very user freinly itunes from a few years back to the latest versions and have been having these problems.
Doesn't synch at all.
Synchs only partial playlists selected.
If it synchs it leaves out multiple tracks.
I mainly use my ipod for listening to Audio books that I have ripped unto mp3's myself. It also won't do my music or podcasts.

I have the same problem with windows 7 and msy ipod classic will not sync...have no access to  thousands of songs and playlists..Help!!

  • My Ipod Classic (160G) no longer synchs completely with iTunes (93G).  Have reset and restored to no avail.  AM about to try roll back to a previous version of iTunes, which has been on auto update.

    My iPod Classic (160G) used to sync flawlessly with iTunes (93G).
    Recently, there seem to be fewer folders syncing.  In particular, it is not syncing more recent adds.  It also occassionally refuses to sync at least one mp3 downloaded from  Amazon.com, giving an unable to sync message with an error code or 50.
    I'm running iTunes version 10.7, and the software (2.04) on myiPod is current.
    I only use the iPod for music.  I have only one playlist.
    Reset and restore did not fix the problem; I'm considering rolling back to a previous version of iTunes.  Are there any other  ideas to consider? 
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

    iTunes and its sync process with your iPod have been know to choke once the amount of data that needs to be transferred, replaced, or updated, reaches a certain size limit in GBs.

  • I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restore bcause there are files that are used by other application. I am having Widows

    I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restored bcause there are files that are used by other application. My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

    Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
    Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

  • After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

    After purchasing songs at the itunes store,  my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
    This was the first purchase I made.

    Are you following these instructions?

    Where is the lock icon on the screen?

  • After latest iTunes version was downloaded my Ipod behaves strange

    I have downloaded the latest iTunes version and I have the following 2 issues:
    1. The artwork is not being updated correctly, a lot of songs are missing the artwork even if it shows on iTunes
    2. Around 400 songs are getting duplicated, and I haven't been able to deleted them, I've tried to manually manage song, I've also tried un sync music and syncagain but nothing seems to work, after the ipod deletes and adds everythin, all 400 songs are still duplicated.
    I want to try to restore the ipod but I will loose all other contacts, apps info, etc...  Am i wrong?
    Please assist
    Thanks

    Check if all your songs, apps and other files are on iTunes Media folder. If not, try to set it all up inside that folder.

  • New 3G IPhone.  Why won't my IPOD Classic headphones work with 3G?

    Why won't my new IPOD Classic earphones work with my new 3G IPhone? These are the original earphones that came with the IPOD and IPhone. Thanks.

    When I tried the headsets again, they all work. I didn't have one of them plugged in far enough. I guess didn't want to breakanything. Thanks for your reply. All fixed!!

  • Why won't the iPod Classic 160GB charge with the iPad charger?

    I found out the hard way that the iPad's 10w charger which works on my iPad-1 and on my iPhone 4s and on my iPod Touch *does not* work/provide a charge to my 2nd gen iPod Classic.
    I had gone to Europe with a full charge on all of my devices, and on the long flight I used both the iPad and the iPod. Once in Spain, I left the iPod in the hotel safe; the phone and iPad were used throughout my vacation, receiving a charge every day via the 10w charger and European duckhead. The night before I left, I plugged in the iPod, knowing that I would need it for the return flight. Imagine my surprise the next day at the airport when I discovered that the iPod was practically dead. Before boarding, I verified that the charger itself (with the European connector) was still working on both the iPad and iPhone, and it was; but as soon as I connected it to the iPod...nothing.
    When I eventually got home to the States, I sat down with both the 10w charger and two or three of the many other USB chargers I have accumulated over the years. With the exception of my ancient firewire connector, every single one will charge every single device-----except for the 10w charging the iPod Classic. The iPad will even get a charge from the non-10w charger; it just takes a very long time to get back to 100%. If I could find my 3rd gen Nano, I would try that, but I'm not sure where it is.
    What gives here? Why won't the 10w charger work on the iPod Classic??

    I finally got curious enough to get a young person's eyes to read the stuff on the bottom of my iPad Mini charger: 5v 1a which equates to 5W using Ohm's law P=IE (E=IR).
    So that beng the max charging rate of a normal USB 2.0 port explains (derived from above posts by Bilbo_cheshire and CMJRoss) why that iPad charger does work when some of the larger iPad chargers do not work with the iPod. The current is limited so it does not cause the iPod to sqeal .

  • Ipod classic 80gb will not connect after update to itunes 7.5

    I just updated to itunes 7.5 and i cannot get the device to sych anymore. it connects and then automatically ejects after I plug it in. I still have another computer with itunes 7.4 and i will use that until i get it fixed. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes to no avail. I did get it to connect for a while last night, but today it just keeps ejecting. I had charged it fully last night before getting it to connect to the one w/ 7.5. Maybe it is going into this thing someone had where it is drawing too much power. Good God, this is my first apple, and for the life of me I will never buy another. What a bunch of crap. I never had any problems like this with my Creative Labs. Too bad I broke it.

    I had the following situation: I`m running Vista on a Sony Laptop with iTunes 7.3 and a 60GB Ipod connected. Everthing works fine!
    Than I bought a 80GB Ipod, updated to Itunes 7.5 - and nothing works! I have 42Gb music in my library.
    I tried everything, spend some nights to get this thing running - nothing.
    I´m "glad" to hear that I´m not the only one having problems.
    But my question is: What is Apple doing? No comments in this forum, nothing on the website. What am I supposed to do now? Spending €250 and waiting for the day it will work? Doesn´t Apple now that there are not alone any more? That there are competitors? I´m really angry!

  • Why won't my iPod Touch install iOS 5.1.1 so I can update to iOS 6

    My iPod touch has automatically downloaded iOS 5.1.1 like a month ago and now I want iOS 6 but I have to install iOS 5.1.1 first. When I go to Settings > General > Software Update and tap Install Now then tap agree and then it says verifying update but then I get an error saying iOS 5.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet but my Internet is connected and fine!

    Hello,
    This could very well be a network problem on your end.
    Is your router configured properly?
    Is your computer connected to the network?
    Is there a firewall or antivirus program running that could be blocking network traffic?
    Is it restricted in iTunes?
    Have you been able to update in the past?
    These questions may help you find out what the cause may be.
    Try going to iTunes, click your device, and click "check for update".

  • Help!!!!! my ipod classic 80gb is not showing neither in itunes nor my computer

    Before i used my ipod with disk utility to launch snow leopard, but now i dont have the mac and i need to use it with windows helppppp.
    what do i do with the ipod to show?

    Try putting your iPod into Disk Mode before you connect it to the computer. This should allow your computer to at least recognize it. Just restart yoiur iPod by holding down the Menu and Select buttons, then when the screen goes out hold down Play and select. Once it says "OK To Disconnect" hook it up and see if that works.

  • My iPod classic will no longer connect to my iTunes

    and error message then appeared stating there was a problem and i would need to pardon the disk (iPod) or maybe get a new device . note: the iPod is not that old bought maybe a yr and half ago . i did a little research and learned that pardoning the disk would change the function of my ipod and it would no longer work as an ipod . So what should i do ? has this happened to any of you ?

    Read this Apple Support Article on Restoring iPod.
    It is on step 6.
    Restore would reformat your iPod Hardisk, if it is still in good condition, but some iPod Hardisk may be damage, due to abuse and misuse, so the Restore would fail.
    For a successful Restore, I would also suggest that
    Disconnect all other USB devices
    Use the USB2.0 port
    Do not use any USB Hub.

    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
