Windows is not syncing ipod to itunes...

So I can plug in my ipod into another computer and it'll work, and I can plug a different ipod into my computer and it'll work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, trying different cords and usb ports.
I think I accidently hit the button on Windows 8 to make it open as a storage device upon plugin but I don't know how to delete this service if that's the case or delete the device from my computers memory.
Any help?

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

    I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings.  I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill. 
    After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

  • I synced ipod to itunes (windows), it removed all my single purchased songs. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray

    I synced ipod to itunes (windows), itunes removed all my single purchased songs from my iphone. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray and I can't move them back to my iphone or to any other device.  I can't play them on the computer in itunes, I can't move them back to my iphone (where original purchase was made), and I can't move them into another ipod.

    I had the Itunes store do this to one song out of three I downloaded. I went back to the Itunes store and reclicked on the song to download it again. It ran the download again and got the complete song this second time. Then I just resynced with my Itunes and all is fixed.

  • Syncing ipod with itunes in windows7

    I have an issue with syncing my ipod classic to itunes using windows 7 64bit. I've just recenlty bought a new pc running windows 7 64bit using an i7 processor. I downloaded itunes 64bit, which installed ok. Then managed to transfer all my music/videos etc from an external hard drive to the itunes folder. The problem comes when syncing my ipod to itunes. It will transfer all the music videos etc (i think) but i have photos which i would like on there to. The ipod will get to a certain point of the sync and stop (photos not on ipod). Itunes says its still syncing but the ipod says its connected and THATS IT (not syncing)!!!!!
    Can anyone help?

    Perfect information, thank you Bob.

    Hey Oynkus,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5.  Did you update iTunes as well?
    If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
    Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help
    Sync contacts and other info with iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Click the device button, then click Info.
    Select the items you want to sync.
    Click Apply.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do I get rid of this?

    I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do i get rid of this?

    Hello drumsdonkey,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. While it refers to iOS devices, most steps are applicable for your situation as well:
    iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
    One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
    - Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    - Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    - Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore

    My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore.

    could you give us a bit more detail on the situation, Eeve?
    is it that the songs say that they're transferring, and appear on the ipod screen in itunes, but when you unplug the ipod they aren't on there? or is something a bit different going on?
    (if you're getting an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
