• 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?

• How can I make sure that my music on my Ipod Classic is not lost forever, if it breaks down?

  How can I make sure that my library of music on my Ipod Classic is not lost forever, if it breaks down?

  Back it up.

  Your music library should never exist only on your iPod.  It must be present on a computer in iTunes, and to be sure it must be saved on an external drive also.

  If your library no longer exists on your computer for whatever, reason, you need to extract the iPod.

• 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 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 will not mount in OS 10.4.11

  Greetings friends,

  When I connect my iPod 160 GB Classic on my Mac G4 Desktop, the iPod does not rise. iTunes will not open and the iPod does not appear when I open iTunes manually, but the iPod screen shows that it is connected and synchronize for a brief moment. The screen of the iPod drives me to eject before disconnecting, but he does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop. Running OS 10.4.11 on my Mac G4. Everything worked fine, but then one day it just is not. Help, please. I'm afraid to reset for fear that I have lost all my music, photos, contacts and he still couldn't climb.

  Peace,

  JG

  Try another known good cable and/or look for lint in the docking port that may be interfering with the connection. See also corrupt and iPod Classic.

• iPod Classic does not show music

  It is a model of 160 GB of Genesis 6 I've had for several years without any problems before. Since a few days it has started planting iTunes when I plug, which means I can't synchronize. By force to close iTunes, I was able to format the drive and reinstall the OS via iTunes (which does not fear the device formatting), and it syncs as usual.

  However the real kicker is that when I disconnect the device on the finish of the interface shows no music or any content at all. Plug back on both iTunes and Windows Explorer shows that it is full of music files can I open and play using it as a HARD disk, but the device interface says that there is nothing at all.

  Several reformats, fresh installs and restarts of everything I think already tried. Any ideas?

  See corrupted iPod Classic. What are the stats from HARD drive?

• 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.

• iPod classic does not cool

  I just bought for my old Mercedes C300 universal media Interface, and it came with iPod Classic.

  It's OK then that plugged into the car / wall usb, but it does not cool (it will immediately stop after disconnect), and it cannot load (power lights, flashing screen) where to connect to the computer / macbook.

  I thought that I should replace the battery. But I can solve this issue another way?

  Chances are that a new battery will be called for. They do not last forever.

• iPod Classic will not sync with iTunes

  I have a 30 GB iPod Classic model PA002LL. After the recent update, I can no longer sync my iPod with iTunes on Windows. It's not to recognize that the iPod is connect. I have already uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled to see if that could fix the problem, but I had no luck with that. However, the computer recognizes it because it will charge the unit.

  What should I do so that it can synchronize? Thank you!

  What antivirus software do you use? Norton does not play nice with iTunes at the moment for some.

• IPod Classic intermittent not recognized by iTunes on Windows 10

  I have an iPod Classic which, until recently, has been working fine on Windows 10 via iTunes.

  Recently, he has started only not to be recognized by iTunes when I conect via USB.

  I keep trying different USB slots and that cures the problem - for about 2 days.  It is not reognised again.  I'm running to different locations to try USB!

  I bought a new 30pin to USB cord in the last 2 weeks.

  I just uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes (an hour ago) and the same inability to recognize on an 'old' USB slot has occurred.

  I checked my installed programs - I Apple Mbilé Device Support installed (to 28.0 MB), but the icon is gray - should it be?

  BUT well, click on my PC-> selecting Manage-> expansion Device Manager-> expansion Bus USB controllers, I don't have an Apple Mobile Device USB Driver listed.

  I have (twice in the last month) resorted to reset the iPod and lose all my music on it and then copy back to iTunes (I manually synchronize)

  Please - what can I do to fix this?

  Exclude you a bad USB cable anchor to buy a new one.  You tried multiple USB ports.  You have reinstalled iTunes software, and it seems that it works pretty well (and quite long) to do a restore and then sync everything back.

  You have a lot of other USB devices connected at the same time?  If you do, it is possible that your PC does not provide enough total power of bus for all devices at the same time.  Perhaps the iPod question began when you added a new device.  Sometimes, all devices are not drawing full power (as if the battery of the iPod is supported against when it is fully charged), and that's when the iPod connects very well.  And at other times, he has not enough power.

  As a test, turn off the PC (power off) and unplug all USB devices, including hubs.  You can leave standard keyboard/mouse USB connected, if used.  Do a Reset (reboot) of the iPod (hold the Menu and Center buttons at the same time until the Apple appears in the display).  Starting the PC and only connect the iPod to a direct USB port on computer.  Use this way for a while, to see if there is a difference.  It also tests the possible interference between USB devices.

• My iPod Classic will not be synchronized with my new MacBook

  I recently got a new MacBook Pro and uploaded on most of my old iTunes library to my new computer from my old computer (also a MacBook Pro, even though I had for almost 7 years).   I plugged my iPod 160GB Classic (running on 2.0.5) I had bought on iTunes to sync music, but he's not going on the iPod even if the music is displayed on my iTunes.  The iPod appears in iTunes and when I hit "sync" the screen of my iPod says that it is syncing, but nothing happens.  Nothing has been removed from the iPod, but in nothing added.  I still have the old MacBook, but I would stop using it, but of course, I want to be able to update my iPod with new content.  What should I do?

  If the iPod is currently sync with the old MacBook, it syncs automatically for the new MacBook, unless you change this association.  iPods can use an automatic synchronization with iTunes at the same time the library, because sync ("synchronize") means iTunes prevents iPod identical to one iTunes library (or a portion of this library that you select).

  You can set the iPod to automatically synchronize with the iTunes library on the new MacBook.  In the process, the iPod is deleted and the content of the new MacBook iTunes library is synced to iPod.

  OR, you can transfer your iTunes full of the old MacBook to the new MacBook.  Then, iTunes on the new MacBook looks like iTunes on the old MacBook (with the exception of versions of iTunes-related changes) with ALL your songs (and other media) as well as supporting data, such as playlists, play count, ratings, date added, etc.  Your iPod may be seen as the iTunes library (on the new MacBook) same (old MacBook) iTunes library, because it IS the same iTunes library.

  I think that it is better to transfer the full iTunes library...  This document describes how to back up your iTunes library on an external drive.

  Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external drive - Apple Support

  The first step "consolidating" your iTunes data in the iTunes folder, which is located in your folder music user account.  Mac, if you use the default settings in iTunes, all your iTunes data should already be in the iTunes folder to a user, but it does not hurt to do this step.  The second step copies the folder iTunes on an external drive. The third step restores the backup of the iTunes of the external drive folder. in your case, "restore you" (copy) for the new Mac to replace the iTunes folder that is there.  To do this with iTunes does NOT.  As you add new songs for the new iTunes folder, you must delete it not; Move it to a new location, such as the desktop.  Then copy the folder iTunes of the external drive instead.  When you run iTunes on the new MacBook, it uses this iTunes folder, which has your old MacBook iTunes data.

  NOTE: You don't have to use an external drive, if you can set up file sharing between two MacBooks.  You can do the second and third steps in one fell swoop by copying the folder iTunes directly from old MacBook MacBook again.

  After you confirm that all seems right in your iTunes library (restored), you can manually add everything that isn't there in the folder iTunes that you moved to the desktop.

• Transfer music from iPod classic to the new computer laptop

  Thus, on my old laptop, I had two accounts, one that was mine and that was my mother and my iPod classic has been synchronized to the iTunes on my account. I recently got a new laptop so that my mom could have one for herself, and so I proceeded to delete my account on the laptop. But I forgot to transfer all my iTunes music on a record hard to put it on my new laptop and so no longer have my music (about 3000 songs) on the former. I have all the songs on my iPod, and by logging into my iTunes on the new laptop, I could get my songs bought on iTunes, however, other songs (eg. those I burned a CD) I was not able to recover. Is it possible to transfer all the songs on my iPod to my new laptop?
