IPod won't sync to Itunes

For some reason, my ipod touch 5th used to synchronize with itunes after these new updates, I guess, since the last time that I have synced my ipod was on March 18. I tried using different usb cords and uninstall and reinstall itunes. Actually on my pc, my ipod shows that it is connected to the laptop, but it is not pop up in itunes, even after execution of the itunes diagnostic on the player to sync. When I connect my ipod to my computer the only indicator that I receive on the ipod is a message that asks if I want to leave my access to the computer for pictures on my ipod. I'm really not restore my ipod because I over 12 GB of music and it takes long ridiculously to synchronize and also because if this doesn't work, I'll be left with no music, since my ipod is not sync with itunes. Someone knows how to help or facing similar problems?

Hi there jamiller33,

Looks like your iTunes application does not appear your iPod and so used to synchronize to it. I advise to use the troubleshooting in the following article:

If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod

  • IPod No. Longer syncing with iTunes

    Hello

    I briefly tried Windows 10.  Did not like after that various things were not compatible with it (as my external hard drive) I did a clean reinstall of Windows 7, which naturally erased my iTunes library.  Everything was just about imported CDs and single tracks purchased outside of iTunes so can all be delivered on.

    I got a couple of new CD for Christmas, bought from the slopes of 7Digital.  They appear in my iTunes library but my iPod Classic does not synchronize more so I am unable to transfer them to my iPod.

    I'm relatively new to al cela but do not want to wipe everything iPod accidentally pressing the wrong thing. On my iTunes summary, a box to say "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Everything is checked into the library.

    Can someone tell me please.

    Thank you so much x

    p.s. I wish I never installed Windows 10.

    I have an old 4th gen iPod "classic" with black & white screen too...

    If your library iTunes music everything fits on your iPod, it's easy to set up.  You must enable automatic synchronization and tell iTunes to sync 'all '.

    Select iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar), to display the 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: For anyone else reading this, any song on iPod which is NOT in the iTunes library (on computer) will be lost.

    At the top of the window, check the box to Sync music.  This enables automatic synchronization.  Below, choose the option to synchronize the entire music library.  At the bottom, click apply.  iTunes syncs "all" (music-related) for iPod.  Go further, iTunes automatically synchronizes the changes in the music library on iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected).

  • 5 Gen iPod will not sync with itunes 12 in 10.11.2

    Hello

    I had a timing problem, where the my iPod Gen 5 has not been recognized under Yosemite anymore. Upgrade to El Capitan - all worked ok until the first OS / X update for 10.11. Now, iTunes 12.3.1.23 as the iPod is not recognized.

    I've tried resets and hard disk mode - nothing has worked.

    To work around this situation, I ended up installing iTunes on a virtual 10 Windows on the same Mac computer. 10 Windows VM detects the iPod correctly and I am able to sync after that I added all the music and books audio to iTunes for Windows library.

    But, I want to turn on my Mac and have the Mac with iTunes for Mac OS sync my iPod. He worked for many years without problems.

    So, I want to come back under Mac OS, re-formatting, and sync as usual.

    Anyone have any idea why the rMAc fo iTunes is not recognizing iPod, iTunes for Windows works?

    iPod classic, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), iPod Gen 5

    Information module,

    the system log shows that these entries:

    10.12.15 15:32:38, 701 SystemUIServer [812]: try to set a time of iPods, if I don't have any client user.

    10.12.15 15:32:41, SystemUIServer 605 [812]: try to set a time of iPods, if I don't have any client user.

    Bus USB recognizes the iPod correctly and Parallels virtual machine also. The instance of iTunes in the Windows virtual machine recognizes everything is fine.

    Just iTunes 12.3.1.23 under native Mac OS / X 10.11.2 is not!

  • 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 (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).

  • gel syncing to iTunes (iPod Classic 160 GB stops synchronization)

    I have about 19000 mp3 files in my iTunes I try to sync my iPod 160GB Classic (2009). I've updated to the latest version of iTunes and my iPod is updated to 2.0.4.

    The iPod is recognized and synchronization starts as usual and files begin to transfer... BUT iTunes crashes at some random file and stops the synchronization. ITunes basically says it's still sync (but stuck on a single file) and the iPod shows the screen 'do not disconnect - please eject before disconnecting '. It seems to me that the iPod think it's done, but iTunes is still trying to synchronize.

    I have to close iTunes and restart the computer to get iTunes working normally again manually. I can close iTunes, but cannot get it to open again before restarting the computer unless I go into the Task Manager and terminate all the processes iTunes manually. If I have this and go back to iTunes and then start resynchronization, synchronization is completely blocked on the first song, while the iPod does not sync at all.

    If I restart my computer then start again so I can start the synchronization, but the same thing happens again.

    Moreover, I had an iPod touch 3G on this same computer with iTunes and have never had a problem syncing like that ever.

    Here are some of the things that I've figured out and to try to solve this problem:

    • I deleted all the songs (files) in iTunes which can not find the program on my hard drive more.

    • If it freezes, the songs he says were be synced with the iPod are not actually on the iPod. Only 2-3 of the first songs sent when syncing remained on the iPod. Well most of the time. In manual mode, they seem to "stick."

    • I have restored my iPod back to factory settings. Who has not solved the problem.

    • I understand that this has NOTHING to do with corrupted files. The file it freezes on seems completely random (I did about 10 to 15 times) sometimes it freezes as soon as possible and sometimes it freezes later. I also checked to make sure that the files are not corrupt. which is not. I even deleted them from the list at the beginning when I first had the problem.

    • I put it to sync only checked songs and then set only 30 to 50 songs at the time of transfer. In addition to taking FOREVER to sync my iPod (don't be easier?), it can still freeze at random to where iTunes synchronization, but the iPod is not. Basically, it can happen on the song #451 or song #3. The odds of a gel are far less it seems with very few songs at the same time, but it can always happen, no matter how little I do.

    • I tried the manual synchronization... same problem. It will freeze during the update.

    • I have tried different USB cables without effect.

    • I tried different machines slot USB.

    • Reinstall windows... that he has not solved.

    Looks like you did a lot of troubleshooting already.  As the hard drives used with computers, the hard drive of your iPod mini becomes unreliable over time.  So the cause can be the disc is hard not to write data at random times.  Maybe it's not the cause in your case, but it is possible.

    As a test, if you have other USB devices connected at the same time, you can try to shut down the PC and unplug it all the USB devices.  You can leave standard keyboard/mouse USB connected, if used.  In order to put the iPod in Disk Mode

    Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

    Computer, run iTunes and connect the iPod to a direct USB port by itself.  iTunes may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  Tell iTunes to proceed.  Once the restoration is complete, try to do a full synchronization.  If this does not help, please report back.

  • iTunes won't sync contacts outlook 2010

    iTunes won't sync contacts outlook 2010 because microsoft add Skype. iTunes syncs only Skype contacts. I don't use Skype don't have contacts in the Skype contacts folder. Cannot add contacts. Don't care about Skype. I want Apple to fix this synchronization with Outlook.

    It worked for me with an iPhone 6s.

    MOVE SEVERAL OUTLOOK 2010 CONTACTS FOR iPHONE

    Step 1: In Outlook, create the vcf files (Variant call Format), which are text files also known as the digital business cards and send them to your own e-mail address. To do this, select all the Outlook contacts you want, right-click on it and select 'Front Contact' sharing group, and then select "as a calling card."

    Step 2: Outlook will create cards individual vcf for each of your contacts as attachments to an email.  Send plain text (select on the Format Text tab), otherwise the iPhone Notes contacts section will contain unwanted formatting.  Send e-mail and files to your own e-mail address.

    Step 3: Create a folder to contain the individual vcf files, for example c:\vcfcards.

    Step 4: Open the e-mail you sent to yourself in Outlook and save all the vcf attached files in the c:\vcfcards folder (file, save attachments, OK, select the vcfcards folder, do not enter a file name).

    Step 5: Now open the command prompt window (in Windows 10 right click Start, and then select command prompt).

    Step 6: At the command prompt, type cd c:\vcfcards.  Press ENTER to continue. Your command prompt is now moved to the vcfcards folder.

    Step 7: Now merge the multiple vcf files in the vcfcards file in a single vcf file.
    At the command prompt, type: copy /a *.vcf c:\all.vcf and then press ENTER.

    Step 8: Create another e-mail and join the newly created file all.vcf.
    Send e-mail to your address (if Outlook is set to download files from the server immediately, close Outlook after the email is sent, thereby ensuring that the email will arrive on the cell phone).

    Step 9: Get your iPhone and read the e-mail from there.
    Open the vcf file you created and attached to the email and press Add all Contacts.

    If there are several groups of contacts in Outlook, the process can be repeated for each group.  File names above could be changed to reflect the group names.  However, it will be a group merged on the iPhone.

    Hello

    I have a problem with my iPhone 6 do not sync with iTunes. I tried many fixes nothing works.

    When connecting my iPhone to my laptop via the USB port, it will load. But iTunes won't recognize the device.

But this no longer works and the laptop does not recognize the iPhone on any playlists. I tried the following:

    -Change the USB port

    -change the usb cable

    -reset the two devices (hard reset on iPhone)

    -allowing the radiation and authorizing on itunes

    -J' chose to allow the laptop to access the data and photos on the iPhone

    Someone at - it ideas? I am at a total loss after spending 45 minutes on this last night.

    Thanks in advance
