• 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. »

• iPod Classic disconnect iTunes 12

  Finally managed to transfer content to iTunes from my old PC to my new iMac (yay!) - thanks for your help here

  However, after you have added a few new music (from CDs) tried to sync with my iPod (an old 160 GB classic).

  Once connected, iTunes I select options to sync music. I get a message "Sync iPod - do not disconnect" and the synchronization process starts.

  After a few seconds, the clock stops, I get the color circle of spinning of death for 2-3 minutes and the message "Disc not properly ejected" and the desktop for my iPod icon disappears (that is disconnected, I guess)

  Reading autour, it sounds like it may be a software problem? Someone can confirm or is there a solution?

  Thank you

  Regarding the iPod being ejected and error message (when it shouldn't), select the iPod in iTunes, to show its settings screen.  On the settings of the iPod summary screen, there is a setting to allow the use of the disc.  As a test, if this check box is not already checked, check mark and click apply.  Then try to synchronize again.  If that gets rid of the error (with no eject does not correctly), but your new songs will not sync to iPod, your iPod may not configured to use automatic synchronization.  Please post back for more information.

• iPod Classic not recognized whan connected to iTunes and related issues

  Whenever I connect my iPod classic to iTunes (Windows 10) is not recognized. iTunes then freezes after awhile of trying, it is recognized by iTunes. You can see everything on the iPod, but you cannot synchronize. Then I have to restore the iPod, but you can not recharge music etc. as the sync box has been ticked in the recent update. Then you can charge all your music which takes about 8 hours. WHY! Is this because Apple won't use their classic iPod more or what.

• I'm told my iPod classic is not compatible with the latest version of iTunes and I need to buy a new iPod

  I have an iPod classic, 160GB, 2009 (I think that I bought in 2011, but they say it's a 2009 version).  I took good care of her, and it worked wonderfully for me.  Recently, with the latest updates of my OS, iTunes, etc. on my MacBook, I got the iPod synchronization problems.  This last time I tried, the iPod has not been recognized by iTunes, or it would be recognized and switch between connected and synchronization, but never go further.  Finally, if I left it long enough that, it would eventually be sync, but then he would go back and forth between sync synchronization, connected and finishing.  After leaving he did that for a while, he would finally come with an error message saying that the iPod could not be synchronized.  Then my iPod was erased at all to this subject (everything is always on my iTunes at least library).  I tried to restore my iPod, which she did, and then synchronize everything again.  He went through the process of synchronization, only to say in the end could not be synchronized.  Sometimes my iPod not even be recognized by iTunes.

  So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.  Both were up to date, so I think I 2.0.4 on my iPod and 12.3.2.35 on my iTunes.  Apple told me that I can't go back to an earlier version of the iPod software because I have no iPod backups on my iTunes.  Therefore they told me the only solution is to spend $ 400 on a new iPod, which I can't afford to do it, nor have you I feel it's a reasonable solution, since my iPod is perfectly good and I was very careful care of her.

  Is there anything that can be done to make the two compatible?  Can I download an older version of iTunes?  I'll be able to get my most recent iTunes library on the older iTunes?  Should not continue making it compatible, the iPod classic and iTunes since so many people use iPod classic, and they are the only thing like him around?

  I looked in the other forums on the topic, but nothing seems to talk about this compatibility problem and provide a solution.  Someone at - it ideas?  Can you manually manage your music on your iPod, even if the two are not "compatible"?

  Thank you!

  So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.

  Seriously...?  My 'classic' 3rd gen iPod in 2003 still works fine with the latest version of iTunes and the latest OS X.  Even the original iPod should still work (assuming the iPod itself still works).  Your iPod classic 2009 is certainly consistent.  That support the needs of the person coming back through training...

  When you connect it now, it seems in iTunes?  Are you able to select in iTunes, go to the settings screen, where you see the iPod photo and name in the upper left corner of the window and a box below that?

• IPod Classic does not recognize Itunes library after updating 12.4.1.6

  After (sigh, unconsciously and unintentionally) update my Itunes 12.4.1.6 Macbook Pro, my Ipod Classic is as it does not recognize the Itunes Macbook is the parent library. I made a few additions to the Macbook Itunes playlists, but my Ipod sync... at least do not unintentionally erase all currents (gulp, 157 GB of data) and re-import the entire library again. Is there a way to get around this? I did have this problem - at least I don't remember having it-advance updates to Itunes, where the Ipod no longer recognizes the Itunes Macbook as his home library. I ran a "check disk" on the Macbook and Ipod, and they are both clean, no sign of corruption. FWIW, I use the laptop on Mavericks, OSX 10.9.5.

  Did you have to add your media to the library after the update? See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.

• I have a iPod Classic 30 GB. I have a new macbook pro and I managed to put my iPod, but now I can't synchronize my iTunes to iPod. What should I do next?

  iPod Classic does not sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro.

  If "reset" means you did a restore on it (to erase it), after the restoration, the iPod is set by default to use the parameter manually manage music and videos] .  If you expect not to sync automatically, you need to Sync music.

  Connect iPod and to find his button on the device to iTunes.  The screenshot below shows the left upper corner of the window of my iTunes, iPod button circled in red.

  

  Click this button to display the settings of the iPod summary screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side, in the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  Parameters of music from the iPod screen to the right.  Check the box to Sync music.

  NOTE: For anyone else reading this, all the songs of the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

  This enables automatic synchronization.  You can choose to synchronize your entire music library or a part of the selection .  Implement this screen as you want, and then click apply to sync iPod.  Further, iTunes automatically keeps 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 isn't the problem, thanks for posting back with additional details about your situation.

• iPod Classic does not appear in iTunes

  My macbook release 10.9.5. iTunes (version 12.1) does not recognize my iPod classic Model # MB147LL version 1.2.2PC. I tried to reboot, reset, update, but it will not recognize to sync the iPod. My computer recognizes the iPod but not iTunes.

  The latest version of iTunes (12.5.1) should work on OS X 10.9.5.  Is there a reason that you are using an older version of iTunes.  A classic iPod should work with even older versions of iTunes, but there may be a problem with the specific version you have (fixed in a later version).

  If update does not help (or if you don't want to update iTunes), given that the iPod is recognized by the system, it seems to have a data connection.  Try to put the iPod in Disk Mode.

  How to put your iPod in disc - Apple Support mode

  Before you connect iPod, stop (power off) MacBook and disconnect all the USB devices.  Plug the MacBook power adapter (so it does not work on battery).  Startup MacBook, launch iTunes and connect the iPod (in disc Mode) on a USB direct on MacBook, by himself.

  If he picks up iTunes, it should invite you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  This erases the iPod, so if you're OK with that (because the content of the iPod is in your iTunes library), do the restore.  If all goes well, the iPod appears in iTunes (normally) after the restoration.

• iPod Classic not registered as one of my devices in iCloud, but in iTunes

  Okay, short of a Mac, I'm completely in the Apple gear with my devices.

  I'm all mounting upward so, made sure that all my t were crossed and i's dotted. Yes, color me surprised when my old 120G Classic iPod appears in ITunes, but not registered as one of my devices in iCloud (he is quite present in the "my support profile, as it should").

  It's very confusing, and I don't know what to do with him. It works well, sync in iTunes as it should, clearly shows my property, but here, it is not a 'thing' in my iCloud.

  Little tip if you want to be so nice.

  Thank you.

  iPod (except iPod touch which is a device like the iPhone iOS) is not associated with your Apple ID.  Your iPod is associated with the iTunes library to synchronize.  Your computer and its iTunes library can be attached to your Apple (and iCloud), but your iPod is not.

  NOTE: Your iPod is on your Apple ID media profile, but it is only for warranty service purposes.  There is no direct functional interaction between your iPod and your Apple ID.  Your iPod does not interact with iCloud somehow, and there is no Internet connection.

• IPod Classic reeked havoc on my iTunes!  Help!

  Can someone help PLEEEEEAASSSSE?

  I kept my iTunes library on an external hard drive Lacie for recent years.  From time to time I simply opened my iTunes library, music new dump in and re - sync my iPod classic.  A week ago, I did this and got an error during the synchronization.  The iPod is really old, almost complete, but still works.  Nevertheless, I had to stop the sync, restore the iPod and regain sync.  I did it and everything was fine... or so I thought.

  A night or 2 later I went to play a song on my iPod and noticed he wasn't there.  In fact, a very important (and random) part songs were gone from the iPod.   I went into my iTunes library to check and found a large number of songs with the red exclamation points.  I am aware of what that means and has been able to reconnect broken links which gave me about 200 songs which did not work.  The rest seems to be completely DISAPPEARED from my library.  If I go into the files of the album all that remains album files work... NO SONG NO FILES.  I did a spotlight search of title on the HDD for the songs and nothing.  What the * happened?  Miss me him more than 2000 songs.  Very random too.   Some albums have half songs left, a few 1 or 2, some not at all.

  Even weirder, is that if I connect to my iTunes library that sits right on my macbook (which is much smaller, but it shares some of the same songs) on a song/artist will play for that whole part of the alphabet.  For example, the song "Blue Sky" of The Allman Bros plays almost each piece separately in the section "A" of my library.  We go to a Beck song for all the songs of 'B' and so on.  Something bad happened?

  It could be my madness, but I swear yesterday as he tried everything to flow back to the previous libraries to change my main media folder location, which for a second that I did something that made all these songs to work again.  While I had that on the screen, I selected all the good work tracks and thrown on a flash drive to dump if all goes well in to my iTunes corrupt and all library set. I did, and none of the tracks that I've just spilled on the flash drive appeared.  A bunch of other tracks were there, but they were the songs that I didn't need to fix.

  I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

  HELP PLEASE!

  Since this problem noticing, you have restarted your Mac?

  iTunes, media synchronization is from iTunes library to iPod, so it is unlikely that the iPod "reeked havoc" on your iTunes library.  More likely, there was (existing but undiscovered) on your external drive and sync data corruption caused the problem on the iPod (a week ago).

  Run disk utility, select the disk volume (indented under the player) in the disk utility sidebar.  Click first aid.  You can also do the first aid with the drive selected in the sidebar, but a problem is more likely to be detected by checking the volume in this case.  You can also check the internal drive of the MacBook.

  You use Time Machine to backup your user data?  If this isn't the case, you are using other backup methods, such as cloning?

• 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

• Any individual user there a Windows 10 having trouble getting iTunes to recognize an iPod Classic?

  It seems that iTunes does not recognize an iPod Classic as a device.  Are there specific drivers that must be installed for the iPod Classic to be recognized as a device with memory?

  Try putting iPod into disc - Apple Support Mode and see if it then appears.

• iPod classic 160g do not sync with itunes 12.4

  Since download itunes 12.4, it erased all my songs on my ipod classic. I tried to Resync it, and if I 905 songs on the classic, it is nowhere near the amount of my total (12 000 + songs). whenever I try to sync again, it always gets stuck on a song, showing a ' attempt to copy to the disk (insert the name ipod) and failed. " the disc is not available"and"A so and so cannot be copied because of an unknown error (-59)".

  in the menu options on the Summary tab, I have only these things checked:

  Open itunes when ipod is connected - verified

  Sync only checked songs and videos-disabled

  convert higher bit rate songs to... AAFC-disabled

  manually manage music and videos-disabled

  Enable disk use-verified

  I'm not a technical person so have no idea what deal with these other options. What happens here? IM real frustrated because this is the first time that I've never experienced this. I have reset my ipod rebooted my laptop, restored my ipod and tried to fix the itunes, all to nothing does not

• iPod Classic stopped display work.  Work displayed in iTunes.  Updated iTunes to 12.4 but did not help.  I can see how to check

  iPod Classic stopped display work.  Work displayed in iTunes.  Updated iTunes to 12.4 but did not help.  I can see how to check and uncheck "Display work" in iTunes but not how on the iPod as others have suggested.  Need to perhaps restore and recharge.

  Long ago with including works on devices was optional, and you can sometimes fix cache work on a device by not including and then add it again. This choice has long since disappeared. A complete restoration and reloading is now the only method to recreate the cache.

• iTunes has deleted all the album on my ipod classic art

  I am running Windows 7 version 12.1 iTunes and have not had any problems with synchronization until today when I synced my ipod classic and all my album artwork was wiped out. Anyone know why or how to get him back?  I thought a resynchronization of reset/total would work, but if there is a solution in much less time, I'd be happy to hear about. Thank you!

  Long, long, with works including was optional, and you can sometimes fix cache work by not including and then add it again. This choice has long since disappeared. A full restore is the only reliable method.
