• I have reset my Ipod classic. Now I want to synchronize with I tunes. ITunes says that it is synchronized. I pod reads no music

  used to synchronize my Ipod in windows 10

  If "reset" means you did a restore of the iPod using iTunes (to delete), the default setting after a restoration is to use manually manage music and videos.  Maybe that's why iTunes 'syncs' the iPod but nothing is loaded.  Nothing is set up to sync.

  If you want to use automatic synchronization to music, you need to Sync music.  Select the iPod in iTunes (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 of the songs from the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

  Check the box to Sync music.  This enables automatic synchronization.  If your library iTunes music can fit on the iPod, you can use the option synchronize entire music library.  Otherwise, choose the option synchronize playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Make your choice from the lists below.  For example, you can create and maintain playlists (one or more) in your iTunes library with songs you want on the iPod.  Back on the settings screen of music from iPod, under playlists, select (checkmark) these playlists.

  Click Apply to sync your music library (or the selected part of it) to the iPod.  Further, iTunes automatically keeps your iPod "in phase" with the changes in your music library (or the selected part of it), when you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected).

  If this is not the reason for your new iPod does not sync with your iTunes library, please report it back with any additional details.

• iPod classic 160 GB says no music after synchronization

  I have an old iPod classic 160 GB that has worked well for years. But suddenly, last week, while he was trying to put in new music (right now I have about 18 000 songs, more or less) he began to have problems with synchronization. After having tried in different ways (and after the restoration, with utility disk and with iTunes), I managed to synchronize all the music. However, it is very frustrating that after all this process my iPod displays "no music" in there. I'm desperate and I need advice because I really want to get it back and listen to music again.

  iPod classic 160 gb / Mac OS X (10.13) / last iTunes (12.3)

  Greetings!

  After a restore, iTunes current assigned to use the parameter manually manage music and videos by default (no Auto Sync).  Select the iPod in iTunes (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.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.

  Is currently checked the checkbox to Sync music ?  If your library complete iTunes music fits on the iPod, is the ability to synchronize the selected entire music library ?

• After the factory restore via itunes on pc on my ipod classic he said plug on sector finally now all I get is a picture of a charger and taken, it won't even load

  After restoring my ipod classic 4th generation 40 GB to factory settings via itunes on my pc the message plug to the charger to complete came I did it, but all I get is a picture of a charger and power socket, but it will not charge or do anything else

  The 4th generation iPod requires the connection to the USB adapter that comes with it to complete the restore process.  Another adapter Apple, like the one that comes with the iPhone or iPad, should also work.  Non-Apple power adapters may work fine for regular charging of the battery of the iPod, but often do not work for this particular use.  If you have a Mac with a FireWire port, and you have a FireWire cable, you can also get past this step by connecting the iPod to a FireWire port.  It is a peculiarity of design iPod 4th gen.

• iPod classic is locked permanently and will not restart or reset.

  I had my iPod Classic (160GB) for about six years. I received as a Christmas gift in 2010. For the last two days, the "lock" symbol was flicker on and out, even when the switch is moved to the off position. I went to put it on today and it wouldn't respond. I plugged my headphones and the screen lit to show me the lock symbol was done again. I tried to reset the iPod, tried to restore and toggled the switch locking on and off tension several times but nothing does. I think I just need to take it into Apple and see if they can fix it or if I need to go and resign myself to the idea that I need to invest in a new iPod. Any ideas?

  Looks like you might need a new headphone jack and hold together switch. You could do it yourself or use a third party service center.

• iPod classic you want to restore to the factory cannot remember the password

  I have two iPod classic I want to recycle. I don't remember the password that is associated with one of them. When I connect to iTunes and click on restore option, it asks for a password that I don't remember.

  Any suggestions for me?

  Thanks in advance!

  A classic iPod has an iTunes password not perform a restore.  I think he asks your password for the Mac admin user account.  Enter the password that you enter normally when you allow changes on your Mac, like installing new software.

• My iPod classic is synced to my old pc windows how can I send it to my new apple mac - all my music on iPod is uploaded to this topic via ads and bought on iTunes?

  My iPod classic is currently synced on my old windows pc - how can I send it to my new Apple Mac without losing any of my music.  All my music is downloaded from the ads?

  If you still have your old PC in working condition, with its iTunes library intact, not to use your iPod to transfer the library to your new Mac.  You transfer your data from user (not just your iTunes data) directly from the old PC to the new Mac.

  There is an automated system called Migration Wizard, if your system meets the requirements.  Be sure to have a backup of the data.

  Migration of Windows v1.0.5.7 Assistant

  Alternatively, for the part of iTunes, this paper outlines how do it manually, using an external drive.

  Manage and backup your iTunes media library - Apple Support

  To summarize, the first step is to make sure that all your iTunes data is stored in the iTunes folder ("consolidate"), which is located in your folder music user account.  The second step is to copy this folder iTunes on an external drive, to create a backup.  The third step is to restore that backup the iTunes on your new Mac folder.  Launch iTunes to use data from the old PC iTunes; It looks like iTunes running on your old PC, complete with all the songs (and other types of media) and data, such as reading lists, notes, play count, etc.

  Your iPod continues to synchronize with it, because for the iPod, it's the same iTunes library (on another computer).  If you using your iPod as a data source, you add your old data to an iTunes library on Mac.  It is NOT complete.  The iPod sees it as a different iTunes library.  iPods are not designed to be your data from iTunes backup.

  However, IF the iPod is now the only place where your songs are stored (and you have no other backup), thanks for posting back.

• 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)

  "Kenichi Watanabe 26 February 2016 06:04 Re: Ipod connects to itunes, but does not synchronize "
  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. PC I have had all my music on died. can I connect iPod to my new Mac Office and store the music on the iPod in the cloud?

  I have an iPod classic 5th generation which has all my music on it. I had an old office that was on original music and he's dead. Now, I have a Mac desktop and other products, apple, iPhone, apple tv, Mac laptop, etc.  How can I get the music from classic iPod in the cloud so I can access it on all my other devices?

  Ideally, you have a backup of your user data from your old computer, including your iTunes data, and you can transfer data from iTunes on your Mac.

  By design, iTunes sync is generally in one direction, from the iTunes library on your computer to the iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer files of song from iPod to computer, with the exception of songs purchased on the iTunes Store (you can also re - download on iTunes Store free of charge).  However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few useful links.  Once the files of the song on the drive of your Mac, add them to your current iTunes library.

  If you want to make your library iTunes music accessible to other computers and devices (compatible), you own, you need to subscribe to Match iTunes (or Apple's music) gives you a library music to iCloud.

  And since you are using a Mac now, don't forget TSF function built-in Time Machine an external drive, allows you to save all your data automatically.  (iPods are not intended for backup data iTunes).

  Tried resetting and it said to contact Apple. The 'do not disconnect' flashed continuously until it empty the battery. An error code came to my office saying I had expelled irregularly. I had not ejected it.

  Any ideas?

  You may have damaged hard drive to the iPod (or other component).  You are able to put it in Disk Mode?

  Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

  If it passes in disc Mode, run iTunes on the computer and connect the iPod.  iTunes may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  If you're OK with deletion of the iPod, tell iTunes to perform the restore.

  If it does not go in Disk Mode, or the restore fails, you have a hardware problem with the iPod hard drive.
