Why won't my iPod touch sync with iTunes?

I recently bought a new song and wanted to put it on my iPod. Every time I went to sync it "timed out" and wouldn't show up on my iPod (ie the sync failed). I tried updating iTunes. My iPod won't get any new updates since its 2nd generation. I've tried the diagnostics and everything checks out okay there. My computer is up to date. I thought I'd try to do a restore and now I have less songs and none of my apps. It's now getting "stuck" on other songs from my collection. Any help?

Okay, so I think it may be the cable b/c when I hold it just right it works much better. It still will get stuck on certain songs but when I try again it works.

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month! I refuse to do that. I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do. To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.) It is basically a hard disk. There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

Ipod wont synch with itunes

I 1st installed my ipod onto my laptop but that has since broke and I have tried to install it onto my pc and it wont synch with itunes. I cant get into my music list either. Help pleae thanks

Hi, thank you for the reply, unfortunetly i have tried all the suggestions on that link (and quite a few more).
The message is completely random as to whether its a download from the itunes store or something i have imported or a cd that i have added to my itunes. I have got to a point now where it will synch a certain amount of tracks (or photo's, books, etc) and then just give me an -50 message regardless of what it is i am trying to synch, my 80gb classic has now become a 50mb classic!

IPod Classic trouble with 64 bit Windows 7

Just got a new (generation 7?) iPod Classic. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. When I plug the iPod into any of the USB ports, it does not show up as a drive. When I go into the device manager, it shows up as Apple Mobile Device under the USB Controllers, as opposed to under the Disk Drives, which is where it shows up on my 32 bit machine (which I should note shows up as the E drive on that machine). It says the device is working properly, and claims to have the latest drivers.
Any thoughts?

Re-install, using the latest, iTunes for Windows 7 64bit, from Apple web-site.
if you want your iPod to be used as an External Hardisk in Windows, then you got to put iPod in diskmode by
Press Menu and Center button till the Apple Logo comes ON (about 10 secs)
The release the Menu button and move your finger to the reverse button |<< while still press the Center button.
The iPod screen will show diskmode.
Connect the iPod to the USB port and the PC will recognised it as a portable hardisk.
Of course, if you want to load songs into iPod and use it as a music player, then you got to use iTunes and Sync it.
Additonal steps needed for this, as your iTunes would sometime hang and not show the iPod on the device folder.
Let me know if you need further help.

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.

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 .

Why won't my iPod sync up with iPhoto though iTunes?

I always have my iPod classic (newest model) syncing everything automatically because of the 160GB storage, including my photo's in iPhoto.
Now, for some unknown reason, when syncing with photos ticked, iTunes displays this message: 'The iPod: "Haydn's iPod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found' it took me some time to figure out it was photos and not music, so anyway, why is this? I haven't done anything that I can think would cause this error.
Thanks!

Often, this problem can be fixed if you locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.

"iPod classic synched with a different library" error

I get an error saying that my iPod is synched to another library - but I can't get that library to display the contents!! When I open my iTunes, the library is empty and I get the error message. How do I get the original library back (i.e. to display) instead of the current (empty) one?? I have over 42GB of music!!
Anyone???

Sorry about the delay, chris.
no actually, just replace the "owner's iPod" name in the error message with the name of the shuffle...etc. but the rest of the message is the same.
Thank you kindly. That rules out a possible complication/ramification of a Windows drive letter confusion (that can cause the name of a different ipod to appear when an ipod is plugged in).
Backtracking to something from your initial post:
that was the library that existed each time I pulled up iTunes... now, no library of songs is listed, and none of my playlists are on the computer, unless I have my iPod connected to it.
What I'm wondering here is if someone has accidentally created a second library on the PC in your user account, as per:
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
If you have multiples libraries in the same user account, unless you actively choose to open a different library during the start-up process, by default the last library that was open in iTunes is the one that will open when you next launch iTunes. So if a new blank library was created, and that blank library screen was open when iTunes was closed, that blank library would keep coming up each time iTunes was launched in the ordinary fashion. (And your ipods would say that they were synced to a different library if you connected them while the new blank library was open.)
So, next time you open iTunes, try choosing a library (as per the document I linked to earlier) and see if you can find your previous library. If the original library was in the default location, the following document may help with locating its .itl file:
What are the iTunes Library files?
Can you find another library file, with your music in it?
