• Firefox Sync active but used to synchronize

  Hello. I can't synchronize my old Surface Pro 2 on my new Surface Pro 3 Firefox.
  Both are running windows 8.1. Firefox sync OK for over a year on my Surface 2 OK but I lost the password.

  On SP2, I updated FF, deleted the old account synchronization and set up a new sync account. SP3, I have implemented the same account.
  When I connect to the sync SP3 account, the message "synchronization will begin momentarily" displays but nothing happens.

  Following suggestions from the forum, I made these changes both SP2 and SP3.
  1. disconnect, then reconnect to synchronize.
  2 delete the signedInUser.json file in the Firefox profile folder closed and possibly delete the folder of armor as well.
  3 remove and re-create the account FxA. at https://accounts.firefox.com/settings

  I also reinstalled FF on SP3. Same message, but used to synchronize.
  Appreciate any suggestions.

  Offspring again: problem solved!
  Pending a response I connected again to Sync on SP2 and SP3. Same message "Sync" momentarily but no synchronization.
  Then I noticed the menu bar missing on SP3 FF. While fixing that I found your Q & a on how to fix corrupted toolbar - go to Menu/customize and click on "restore default settings".
  Who has accompanied me through the beginning of FF upward. I chose FF as my default again BUT this time on the next step that I choose to use Firefox NOT Internet Explorer. (on my FF 1st installation I chose it is because the choice of FF produces a message that IE cannot complete installation).
  Makes synchronization of SP3 immediately synchronized with SP2!

• iPod 120 GB Classic is recognized by iTunes, but it will not be synchronized. I ran the diagnostic. The connectivity of the device test showed the iPod, but when I ran the test of synchronizing device, it says that no device was found. It didn't Sync befo

  I have a version of the software running iPod Classic 2.0.4 of 160 GB. The iPod has not been synchronized for more than a month. I did diagnostic tests today. The connectivity of the device test showed the iPod, but when I ran the test of synchronizing device, he said that there was no iPod found. I checked and installed new updates, but it is not always sync. I restarted iTunes and computer, but it is not always sync. I ran a diagnostic on the device and it showed that it was operating normally.

  The iPod must be configured to synchronize automatically.  If this is not the case, click Sync does not synchronize no matter what.

  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see the iPod settings screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side of the window, in the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  To the right, you will see a settings screen of the iPod music , where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.

  NOTE: All the songs on the iPod that are NOT in your iTunes library (on the computer) will be lost.  If all the songs are in your iTunes library, no problem.

  At the top of the window, check the box to Sync music.  This enables automatic synchronization.  Below, select the option to synchronize library of ensemble music, if you want to 'all' in your music library to sync.  At the bottom, click on the apply button.

  From now on, when you make changes to your iTunes music library (like add new songs or update a playlist), iTunes automatically updated the iPod with the same changes when you connect (or click sync , if already connected).

• iPod not recognized by iTunes?

  I have iTunes installed on a computer running Windows 10. iTunes is updated to the latest version since this morning.

  My iPod is a 7th generation Nano

  Here's what I've tried so far:

  • Update to iTunes (the problem began before the update and persisted thereafter)
  • Reset the iPod (by pressing the menu and sleep buttons, or whatever they are called, until the screen goes black and then displays the apple logo)
  • Reinstall iTunes
  • Removal/installation/update driver iPod (my iPod appears under portable devices and tells the pilot because it is the latest version, attempts to manually install the driver in the iTunes folder indicates which is the driver already installed). I tried this before and after reinstalling iTunes.

  However, I don't have an Apple Mobile Device driver. I couldn't find two solutions to do this, which has been updated the driver on the iPod, which did nothing. Another option involved to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. Who also did nothing.

  I also read that reformat the iPod through disk management has worked as well, but my iPod does not appear as a disk. In fact, it is not at all. iTunes opens when it is connected and says it cannot recognize it, but it does not appear under devices and readers.

  On a strange note, I have an unknown USB device under USB controllers in device management. Out of curiosity, I unplugged my iPod, uninstalled and plugged my iPod back, time in which the unknown device is returned. So I guess it's my iPod (in the unrecognized State). You know not so relevant.

  I am at one loss as to what else to do. The iPod still works, I can still listen to all music that has been synchronized to him before, but that's all.

  This just started today. Every other time I connected the iPod, it was immediately recognized by iTunes and worked well. Seems that the problem is the absence of the Apple Mobile Device driver, if I was not able to fix this.

  I have not tried to plug the iPod on another computer yet. The only other computer I have is an old laptop that takes forever to initialize. I will try that, after work and see if my iPod works on that one.

  If you have already tried to reinstall iTunes and manually delete specific things like the drivers, you can completely remove iTunes and related software components

• 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 ?

  My iphone 6 used to connect to Itunes on my windows, but now that I try it, it is not connect the phone itself is recognized by the computer (so I am able to access my photos) but the software Itunes itself does not do anything. So I'm not able to back up my phone / synchronization of audio and video files.

• iTunes recognizes my phone, but used to synchronize?

  This morning, I tried to sync my iPhone with my iTunes 5 because I had made some new playlists that I wanted on my phone. He wouldn't do it, and for some reason any, I think I thought that space was the issue, so I deleted all my music on my phone (from my phone), assuming I could just sync it upward, no problem. Now, my iPhone has only the songs I bought via iTunes and not the 530 + songs that I downloaded and I can not get to synchronize.

  It recognizes my phone just fine. This isn't a problem.

  I tried everything I can think of, as well as online guides as much as I can find more.

  I tried:

  -Restart iTunes, my computer and my phone.

  -Pok play with music in iTunes sync options, try to synchronize the selection of songs and albums manually, or deactivation and activation automatic synchronization.

  -Meet and reauthorizing my computer.

  -Enabled wi - fi sync, my iPhone does not recognize that my computer is actually available and not let me not sync anything.

  -Evolution of the USB ports and USB son. I have 3 cords and 3 ports, they all do this.

  -All about updating my computer, you ensure that iTunes is up to date (it is) and update my iPhone to 9.3.1 (was 9.3)

  -Check my device drivers laptop to see if it was updated (it was)

  -Put an end to all the processes to do with iTunes, rename the folder appdata sync, then by restarting iTunes. Did nothing.

  The sync button is gray and will not let me click on it. In my space used/available bar it says everything I use is 'other '. Under "On My Device' in music, he always says I have 534 songs even though, on my phone, it says I have 3 albums (the stuff that I bought on iTunes). In addition, after I deleted all my music, space went against 1. something Go on to 3.76, showing that there is more space on the device where I deleted everything. (I'm on Windows 8.1, incidentally.)

  Also, when I try to create a backup for this computer, it does nothing and says I never backed up this iPhone to this computer (which I have)

  I have not uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes or reset my iPhone. I'm posting here in the hope that I won't do.

  UPDATE: uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and it synchronized by wi - fi very well. It's weird 'other' space problem has been fixed, too.

I get a prompt my iPod on my laptop is looking to access the photos and videos of my iPod.

• 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 nano not recognized by iTunes - 10 Windows

  My new iPod Nano (7th generation) is not recognized by iTunes (version 12.3.2).  Windows 10 is pleased to recognize the Nano as a USB and I can copy files to the Nano using Windows Explorer.

  When I open iTunes and connect the Nano screen Nano said that it is connected, windows 10 tells me that it is connected, but iTunes displays the message "an iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly.  Please disconnect and reconnect the IPod and try again. "

  Tonight, I uninstalled iTunes, followed the instructions on the Apple support site to stop and restart the "Apple Mobile Device Service".  I also uninstalled the windows drivers, the computer uses and then reinstall the drivers, but the only ones that appear are the original windows ones.

  Hard drives - Apple iPod USB Device

  Apple Mobile Device USB Driver - universal series Bus controllers

  Serial - USB Mass Storage Device Bus controllers

  Hello darkflux88,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I see that your iPad is recognized by iTunes, but not by the Windows 7 system. I have three support articles that relate to your problem. The first is more relevant for the iPad being not recognized by iTunes, but also contains information for the Windows operating system. The other two relate more directly to Windows does not recognize is not the iPad.

• iPod Classic and TV displays error

  So I have an old iPod classic that I recently started using again, but he seems unable to sync the TV shows that I own. It can sync music very well, but even with sync settings, the 'all TV shows' value, it may not. When I try, the iPod is as there is nothing to synchronize. Even more curious, I got a movie and some clips on it since the time and they play well on the iPod.

  The shows are certainly downloaded on my system, and I can read on my PC. I found some old tips recommended I download an "iPod Version" of the show, but I can't find any option like that.

  I have a Windows 10 operating system with iTunes 12.4.3. The iPod is running version 2.0.5.

  Hey there RockDHouse,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! From what you describe, you have problems of that sync TV shows that you bought your iPod classic. I'll be more than happy to provide you with information for troubleshooting.

  It is possible that the file format of the TV shows that you are trying to synchronize is not compatible with your iPod. Some older iPod models are only able to sync and play the SD versions rather than HD check this article from support for more details and suggestions:

  If your videos from iTunes cannot be played on your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Apple TV

• Music from my music library of windows can be added to my iPod classic

  Just before I give up and get the CD out, please can someone tell me if it is possible to add music to my library of windows media player on my iPod classic?

  ITunes Windows version (but not the Mac version) can convert WMA files to AAC format, as they are imported into your iTunes library.  Use you the file-> add to library command in the iTunes menu bar.  Songs must be unprotected (no); If you imported the origin of music CD, they shouldn't have any DRM.

  Once they are in your iTunes (AAC format), these songs are like all the other songs in your iTunes library, and you can sync them to your iPod.

  NOTE: The Conversion can reduce the sound quality (compared to a direct import in iTunes from the CD of original music).  The degree of reduction of the sound quality depends on the setting of the flow rate (Kbps) previous used for the music CD bit for WMA encoding process.

• 80 GB, iPod Classic, Windows 10 synchronization problem

  Firstly, apologies if this is an ancient question.  There are so many threads that it is not easy to find the right one.

  My 80 GB Classic iPod has worked with Windows XP and Windows 7.  When I got a new computer and upgraded to Windows 10 iPod was seen by iTunes but wouldn't sync.  This lasted until I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes (version 12.4.2.4).  Now, he doesn't see any of the iPod.

  One of the possible solutions that I've seen is to unplug all USB devices, but since this means that the keyboard and mouse it would be awkward.

  What do you propose as a solution?

  See If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support. You hear the sound of connection of USB device? Windows is perfectly up to date? It helps to put the device in disc mode?
