Windows 8 and itunes not syncing to ipod

I just got windows 8 and upgraded itunes. I lost all of my old playlists and the new ones that I created will not sync. Any advice

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Windows and itune not recognizing my ipod shuffle

i got ipod shuffle 2 weeks before .it was working for 2 days. after that i got no response frm other day.now my windows and itune is not showing my ipod and when i connect it to my system orange light blink for three times and then stops.
please do help me...

I've downloaded itunes, tried researching and
troubleshooting til I'm blue! I plug in the ipod and
the only thing my device manager shows is USB mass
storage device. By the way, my ipod did NOT come with
an installation disc. And yes it's fully charged. The
orange lights up while charging and when I plug in
the ear pods the blue light stays lit.
IF the GREEN LED stays lit continuously, SOMETHING is seriously wrong with the Shuffle! READ the following
article, "Understanding iPod shuffles status lights", especially the part on " Using iPod shuffle to play music"
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300553
iTunes is not recognizing the ipod either (as my
friend said it should)
I even installed itunes on a friends' computer and
had the same problem. I just got this for my son for
Christmas and needless to say he's a bit
disappointed.
Did I buy a lemon?
Perhaps...but they're Not ALL lemons by any means.
Please help!!!

IPod and iTunes not syncing after restoring library on new computer

Recently, my computer crashed. Lost everything. I was finally able to restore my music on my laptop to iTunes. However, now when I upload new music from the store, it saves it on my library, but will not sync to my iPod, even when I manually try to sync it.
Help!!!

Since the computer crash, have you re-authorized it?

IPod and iTunes not syncing properly

When I swipe a song to the right on my iPod and tap delete, a cloud appears with a down arrow. The song never leaves my iPod and I am still able to play it with the cloud/arrow showing. The cloud symbol remains after syncing and the song will still play. In fact the cloud symbol never goes away until I tap it. If I tap the cloud I get the circle/square symbol indicating it has been downloaded/added to my iPod. Conversely, when I drag music on iTunes to my iPod I see the green plus sign but the song does not appear on my iPod after syncing nor on iTunes. I also have unchecked music on iTunes listed for my iPod and they still don't go away after syncing.
iPod touch 5g, refurbished
iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

As a last ditch attempt I unchecked all the albums, artists and manually loaded songs on my iPod via iTunes and synced my iPod. After syncing there were 3 songs left on my iPod which I was able to delete in the normal fashion (sliding left and touching the red "Delete" prompt). I synced my iPod again. Now iPod was empty. I then loaded the songs I wanted by clicking and dragging the albums I wanted to my iPod via iTunes. I synced again and now my iPod has the songs that I currently want on it.

Remote App and iTunes not syncing

I'm trying to get the Remote.app and the iTunes DJ to sync so that I can control my computer library from iPod Touch. However, the icon for remote does not appear in the iTunes tray under my iPod in "Devices." How can I fix this?
For starters it is a 2.2 version iPod (volume rocker version) and I have the 3.0 firmware on it. My iTunes is the current 8.2 version. I also already have "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" checked in my preferences in iTunes. I do have a wireless connection and both my laptop and iPod are connected to it properly. My iPod was connected before, but accidentally. I removed another computer from the library list and now it won't connect.

Have had the exact same problem since the last iTunes update came through. remote worked just fine before that.

Doublechecking. Have you tried the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document?

All songs in iTunes not syncing with ipod

i have a bunch of songs that i've ripped / downloaded in my itunes account that no matter what i do i can't get it to sync with my ipod...i ripped the cd and it plays fine in itunes but when i look for the songs on my ipod there's only 3 off of the entire cd...any help???

re download the cd and make sure you put them in your library then make a playlist and try to highlight and drag over to your ipod. Also make sure you have the latest version of itunes and quicktime. This should work.

IPod and iTune not syncing

Hi, my iPod touch used iOS 6.1.5 and recently, when I add new songs to the iPod and sync with iTunes, the album covers are no longer that of the songs added. They somehow end up being all mixed up. I've tried deleting and re adding the songs but though they are correct on iTunes, they are extremely incorrect on the iPod.
Is there anyway beside restoring the iPod that I can have this corrected. I've got a total of almost 800 songs and I'm looking for a simple solution if one is available.
Thanks

If deleting all music and resyncing does not work then you have to restore.

ITunes not syncing with iPod in Windows 7 64 bit

I installed the 64 bit version of iTunes 10.5 on my 64 bit version of windows 7 on my hp dv6 laptop. No matter what I do everytime I connect the ipod to the laptop, itunes always tells me I need to uninstall itunes and install the 64 bit version even though that is the version that is installed.

I'm guessing no body knows the answer to this problem.

Movie TITLE is in GRAY and will NOT SYNC with iPod

Hi Folks,
Just imported a short home movie into my Movie Folder in iTunes for Windows. It shows-up in iTunes just fine, and it PLAYS - in iTunes - just fine.
Trouble is...when I sync my U2 Video iPod, the *Title for that home movie is in gray* - not black like the others. I check the box so this movie will sync, I hit sync...and it does NOT transfer to the U2 iPod.
All other movies (titles in BLACK) transfer/sync just fine. The one in GRAY does not.
I did try the "Make an Apple Ipod Version" i.e. Convert...and the file it creates exhibits the same behavior: it shows up in my Movie folder, I can play it WITHIN iTunes for Windows, but the Title of said movie is in GRAY when I attempt to sync and it will NOT transfer. Please help! Anyone? Thanks!

Hi - The first one is .mp4 and then when that didn't "sync" (but DID play in itunes) I used the itunes menu choice to "convert" to ipod use...that one came out with an .mv4 extension (both files same size and both say H.264 codec in 'info').
So,to sum-up, neither the mp4 nor the mv4 would sync to my iPod...yet both would appear - and play just fine - within itunes. Upon syncing, the title of both goes gray.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Start/Stop music time in iTunes not syncing to iPod

Hi, I've managed to change the start/stop times in a few of my songs to skip some lengthy intros/outros in iTunes, but for some reason, these changes refuse to be synced onto my iPod Touch (second gen).
I'm not exactly sure what to do in this situation... any suggestions are greatly appreciated :]
Edit: No idea how this got into the iPod nano 4th gen subforum... I was in the iPod Touch subforum when posting this
Message was edited by: seanterisu

I just went through and tried both updating and authorizing my computer to play the music. I have the most recent version, and even after authorizing my computer nothing has changed.
If this helps, even on the iTunes screen, while the music files show up in the iTunes part of the library, the smart lists are empty of the same music files under the iPod listing.
Thanks for the help, perhaps you can provide more?

ITunes not syncing with iPod Touch 5th gen

Yesterday I purchased an iPod Touch 5th generation, and have it linked to my MacBook Pro using iTunes 12. I am running OSX 10.9.5, and cannot figure out why it is syncing all the songs I have stored in my cloud, when the "sync only selected songs" box is checked. On my ipod screen I can see all of the songs I've ever purchased, with the cloud and arrow.
Does anyone know how to keep these songs from appearing if they are not checked as "to be synced" on iTunes?
Thank you!

Yes.
