• My iPod Classic is not synchronized.  error message says file not found

  I've never had a problem syncing my iPod classic.  Yesterday I bought a song at the iTunes Store, and afterwards, when I synced my iPod he removed my entire contents except the song that I just bought.  Error message says cannot be synchronized because file not found.  What should I do?

  First of all, quit iTunes and restart.  Then re-sync your iPod?

  If the problem persists, try disconnecting in iTunes, so that you are no longer connected to your Apple ID.  Your library iTunes music shows still all of your songs?

• iPod Classic Toyota Camry reading questions

  Recently, I traded in my 2012 Toyota Camry hybrid for a Toyota Camry hybrid from 2016.  In my old Camry I could recharge my iPod Classic while listening on the usb port.  In the version of 2016 of the Toyota Camry, the unit, no fees, but it also constantly freezes.  Is there something I can do to fix this?

  I rent cars often and I plugged my iPod Classic on a lot of different cars and it works fine.  The only time where I had problems with my iPod Classic is in my Camry from 2016.  Help, please.

  You should consult the user guide for the car audio system, to check the list of supported devices.

  NOTE: In systems modern car audio the connected device is as a storage for the files of the song.  Car audio system made the song played, by accessing the iPod as a storage device.  The iPod is not playing through the car audio system.  The iPod performs the same function as a USB at low prices with records of songs, when it is connected to the USB port on the car's audio system.

  If you haven't already, do a Reset (reboot) on the iPod.

  Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support  (see iPod with a click wheel)

  If this does not help, in case there is alteration of the data on the iPod that causes the problem of 'freeze' when the car audio system tries to access the iPod as a storage device, you can do a restore of the iPod using iTunes.  This erases the iPod, reinstall its software and sets it to the default settings.

• iPod Classic 7th gen Shuffle play Question

  A week ago, I was playing random songs on my iPod through shuffle. Today, I used shuffle and the same exact songs to play in the same order of a week ago... The iPod's battery die since then, so it was restarted. I find it weird that this happened. I was just checking to see if anyone has had a similar experience. This is not the first time that I've lived this BTW.

  Thank you.

  Under certain conditions, I can cause my iPod repeat a sequence of songs in shuffle mode. For example, if the third or fourth in a sequence random song and I press the "back" button a few times to return to the first song, repeat the sequence.

  Consider this:

  random playback of the songs actually means "to randomly choose another song", and yet it is in fact very difficult for the same a real computer to generate a random number because computers operate on a regular and predictable. Even if an iPod is a computer, it is nowhere near as capable as a full specification and I suspect that the mixed songs are actually a hidden playlist (or two), who (s) get updated when the iPod is synced with iTunes. It could explain why some users report seeing the same songs being synced over and over again, even though they have not played against them.

  Even if I say 'playlist', it is more likely to be a list of numbers, stored on the iPod that are used to select the next song "at random".

  So this isn't a bug, it's just a limitation of the power of an iPod. Are two things that you can do (well, three actually!);

  1. When you use the iPod, start your random game with a different song. The first song was a 'number' and this number dictates what "random" list is used. Every list is different.
  2. Sync your iPod with iTunes frequently as this will be the time that hidden on the iPod playlists are revised.
  3. Accept the status quo. (Okay, I'm being facetious...)

  It is a theory so I may be wrong, or even be shot down in flames (but only by more experienced contributors), but I don't think that this will never change as iPod Classic software is unlikely to be updated now.

• iPod Classic 80 GB is recognized in the library itunes, but will not be synchronized on my new windows laptop 10?

  My iPod Classic 80 GB from 2009 is recognized on my iTunes library when I plug it in, but it does not sync?  I have a new windows laptop 10.  What can I do?

  If you want to synchronize your iTunes music library (from computer, iPod) automatically when you connect the iPod, you need to implement that.  By default, it is set up for manual loading.  I can explain this process.  However, if your iPod currently has all your songs and iTunes library to your new computer laptop does not work, you should not set up automatic synchronization because you will lose all the songs on the iPod.  Your current situation is not clear.  Please specify what you ask the subject.

• I called Amazon to try to recover the serial number of my old iPod classic two weeks ago, and they gave me a kind of account; They pronounce it account 'seen - It '.

  I called Amazon to try to recover the serial number of my old iPod classic two weeks ago, and they gave me a kind of account; They pronounce it account 'seen - It '. I don't have to ask how, because I thought I knew, but I was wrong. Would what type of account be? And how it's spelled? The name of the account is a tiny s followed a 7-digit number. (Of course I will not type the numbers.)

  I would go to a forum for Amazon, because they can be better equipped to answer a question on their system. If synchronize you the device with iTunes, the number can be there in the backup section.  Find the serial number of your Apple - Apple Support product

• iPod Classic recognized by iTunes but used to synchronize

  I just bought a refurbished iPod Classic (Genesis 6 160 GB). The iPod looks and works as if it was new. I connected the iPod on my laptop and iTunes recognizes it. However, when I try to sync the iPod, nothing happens. The load bar that say 'Start Sync' appears for a split second, then goes, and I get the prompt saying "iPod sync is complete." However, nothing synchronized. I restored the setting on the iPod and even made sure that I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes, with no luck. My computer is and has been authorized for iTunes and I even changed the name of my iPod in iTunes, as it was the name of my old iPod, to see if he has made all the difference. Don't know what to do here, especially since the classics are discontinued.

  Some iPod Classic s even if ongoing renovation have trouble recognizing a new computer. The previous owner probably plugged his iPod into his computer several times. Kind of like when you connect your phone to the computer for the first time, the phone and the computer synchronization together. Even if you restored the setting on the iPod, I try and take back to factory settings, if there is still this option. Hope this helps, good luck

• is it possible to mix a playlist on ipod classic?

  I have several lists in memory on my classic ipod but do not know how to mix songs on a single reading list. When I select it shuffle shuffles all the songs stored on the ipod which is all my mixed together playlists. Am I missing something?

  Hi alex8199,

  Thanks for your question.   If you want to mix all the songs in a single playlist on your iPod Classic, you need to activate Shuffle for songs.   This will be random songs in an album or playlist you choose.

  Do this select Menu > settings > Shuffle.   Press the Center button to toggle your options and choose songs.  Press and hold the Menu button to return to the main menu.

  Now, go to your playlists, choose a playlist and press play.  You should see the shuffle icon in the upper right of your screen, and only the songs in the selected playlist should play.   If you do not take a specific playlist, all the music on your iPod classic will be mixed.

  Alex, take a look at the iPod Classic User Guide for more information.

  Have a great day!

• Smart playlists are not updated on Ipod classic

  I have the latest Ipod classic 160 gb (7th gen?) with a couple of smart playlists on it. These selections are not updated on the fly on the Ipod. I don't know if they're supposed to, but I guess that if. They are updating on iTunes but I shouldn't need to sync to update the smart playlists, otherwise, they are not so smart than that.

  Any help? Thank you.

  Smart playlists act as regular playlists on the iPod.  They are only "smart" (automated) in your iTunes library on the computer.  When you sync the iPod, the changes you made on the iPod, like song of note or play counts, syncs to your iTunes library.  Update Live immediately updates your smart playlists properly, and they are synchronized to your iPod with all changes (during the same synchronization).

• iPod classic used to synchronize all the songs in the library

  I have 414 albums and 3100 songs in my iTunes library on my Windows 7 desktop. Same problem on my laptop Win 8.1.

  When I connect my 106 GB Classic iPOD, songs only 398 appear when I click on 'Musical library of full synchronization.'  Up to 85% of the songs that are on my hard drive in the iTunes folder Media/Music doesn't sync to iPOD Classic.

  Help! It used to work very well for years until last year.

  Choose a song that is currently not sync to the iPod.  In the iTunes window, find it in your iTunes library, make a right click and select information.  In the Info window, go to the file tab.  Next to location, what he says it?  If it shows a file path, you can copy and paste in your next post.  (If your full real name is in the path, please substitute for it).  Who can predict an idea why this song (and others) do not currently synchronizing with the iPod.

• ITunes library don't sync all the library on my iPod Classic 5th

  Hi all. My iTunes library is not synchronized all the library on my iPod Classic 5th. The library contains 8136 songs, iPod displays only 8120 songs after synchronization.

  I hope you can help me.

  Thank you.

  Some items in your library iTunes music are not in fact the songs.  For example, some albums that buy you on the iTunes Store come with a "booklet".   This isn't a song, so it does not sync to the iPod.  In addition, your library iTunes music can have music videos.  Depending on your synchronization settings (and your iPod model), music videos may not sync.  So, if you use the number of 'elements' displayed at the bottom of the iTunes window to compare, is not necessarily equal to the number of songs on the iPod.

  Songs must be stored locally on your disk to synchronize with your iPod.  It is possible for songs purchased from the iTunes Store will appear in your library iTunes music from Apple servers ("iCloud"), even if you do not subscribe to Match iTunes or Apple's music.  To check, show your iTunes music library using the view of songs , the show as a list of simple songs with columns.  Bring up the column to iCloud download , if currently hidden.  This column is narrow with a cloud symbol as his Cape.  (Right-click on the header row in the list of songs to show/hide columns.)  Songs that are not stored locally have a symbol of the cloud with the down arrow in the column download iCloud .  These songs are visible of the iCloudand does not sync to the iPod (except if downloaded).

  If you subscribe to Apple music, download music from Apple (in your iTunes library) are written (not possessed) songs.  Downloads of music Apple cannot be used with iPod (except iPod touch).

  Also, look on the recapitulation of the iPod settings screen in iTunes to see if the sync only checked songs [and videos] option is checked.  If this is the case, the songs that are disabled in your music library iTunes do not sync.

• iPod classic (7th generation), do not sync with iTunes on Windows 10

  Salvation;

  My iPod classic (7th generation, 160 GB) is not synchronized with iTunes 12.3.2.35 (latest version) on Windows-10. It is synchronized before, but it suddenly stopped synchronization. The iTunes is to identify the iPod, but it is not sync. Also, all my other iPods (nano and classic) also show the same behavior. Help nicely, as it made all my outdated iPod. Thank you!

  If the iPod appears in iTunes, select it (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to show its settings screen in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Right, parameters of music on the iPod screen.

  NOTE: All iPod songs that are not in your iTunes library (on the computer) will be lost.

  If the box Sync music is not checked, check it.  This enables automatic synchronization.  If your library complete iTunes music can fit on the iPod, you can choose the option synchronize entire music library.  Then click apply.

  If your library complete iTunes music does not fit on the iPod (or if you do not want to synchronize 'everything'), you can choose the option synchronize select playlists, artists, albums and genres.  Make your choice from the lists below.  For example, you can keep one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with songs that you want on the iPod.  Back on the settings screen of music from iPod, under playlists, search for and select (checkmark) these playlists.  After making your selections, click apply.

  Further, iTunes syncs iPod "" with your library iTunes music (or the selected part) when you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected).

• IPod Classic (and iTunes library) from Windows to Mac

  Hey ppl, can someone help me with this one?
  My iPod Classic was initially connected to a PC, because I didn't have a Mac at the time. But I an and for a long time, and now I'm about to get a second.
  I was put in place with the PC mostly because my iTunes library has nearly 500 stored cd and I use my iMac only for work, I didn't want to fill his 500 GB drive with iTunes library. But now that I'm about to take my work to a new Mac, I thought that it was time to move my iTunes library to Mac, and I did it with the help of an external hard drive.

  Now, everything is ok with iTunes on Mac all the CDs and the works of art and library moved nicely.

  But when I connected the iPod it syncs ok, but does not receive a new cd that I just uploaded on the Mac.

  I have noticed that an already existing CD which I modified the work on the Mac, sync ok for the iPod, but not the new CD. The CD is an original, not a copy.
  I think it has to do with the iPod having been registered to another computer. I allow them the Mac, but still the CD is not transferred to the iPod.
  I want to get rid of my PC, but I need the iPod to work with the Mac.
  Can someone tell me what I'm missing, or doing wrong?
  Thank you

  I had checked the discussions over and over again before posting the question and do not find an answer, and now after posting the question, I found what solved my problem - iPod sync fine with the Mac. (to goodbye PC)

  in reply to Umphreys21

  OK, that's fine.  So, just what is currently on the iPod is already in your new library iTunes, correct?

  When you start with a new iTunes library and add your existing content, the iPod sees it as a new iTunes library, not the old one that was previously used to synchronize the iPod.  The partners from iPod to your new iTunes library and the Tower WE Auto Sync, follow these steps...

  Select the iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to display the parameters of the iPod in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.

  NOTE: All iPod songs that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

  Check the box to Sync music.  This turns ON Auto Sync (and associate the iPod to your new iTunes library).  If your library complete iTunes music can fit on iPod, choose the option to synchronize the entire music library.  Click apply.

  On a separate note, since you started with a new iTunes library, you have added all your content to your backup, but you probably do not have the additional data (such as playlists, ratings, play head, date added, etc.).  Depending on how you have saved your iTunes data, it may be possible to restore your full (not only your media) iTunes library.  You need to be good with the help of your new iTunes library, but if you want more information, thanks for posting back. »

  So thanks Kenichi Watanabe

• iPod Classic 160 GB, do not sync, Windows 10

  I have an iPod Classic, 160 GB.  I have a HP and spin Windows 10.  My iPod synchronized for months with no problem.  I tried to sync two weeks ago and iTunes detects a connection, but the iPod wouldn't sync content.  I reset the iPod (menu button and Center, lock) as fulfilled and I tried to restore the iPod via iTunes.  My iPod is in charge and short syncs with iTunes, but no content does not transfer to the iPod.  Due to reboot and restore, my iPod is now empty, so basically useless. Does anyone have advice?

  Sometimes antivirus software can conflict with iTunes.

  Can synchronize you one piece or an entire album?
