used to synchronize iPod classic

Hi, I have an classic iPod 160GB 2007 suddenly used to sync in iTunes. He recognizes the iPod, but then takes ten minutes to "check" and then told me that the ipod "cannot be synchronized because it cannot be read from or written into. I've updated to iTunes 12.3.2 but I still get the same message. I'm on a MacBook Pro running 10.9.5. I did not restore but because when I had problems with a Nano and restored, the problem has not been fixed. And I use the current software for the classic - 1.1.2. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Are you using a Mac or a Windows PC?  If Windows, what version?

A test, turn off the computer and unplug all the USB devices.  You can leave standard keyboard/mouse USB connected, if used.  Do this Reset (reboot), the iPod

  • used to synchronize iPod

    I had problems syncing my iPod 160 gig since the installation of iTunes 12. First is gave me the nonsense of duplicates of files and so I had analyzed and repaired iPod. Then, he would do nothing. So I restored it and now I have a Clipboard. No music and it still won't sync.

    OK, so you have restored but did you choose the music to go on the iPod now it is restored? When you synchronize the iPod, if you find an activity by iTunes on this synchronization, i.e. the look as if it's a sync?

    If a first synchronization did not work, try another restore (and then make sure that the music is selected to return to the iPod).

  • Rented movies don't synchronize with the latest generation iPod classic

    I've been renting movies from iTunes and their synchronization iPod classic for years.  Yesterday, I rented a movie in SD like I always do, plugged my iPod into my Mac, clicked on the iPod when she appeared in my iTunes menu after he was connected, went to the movies, moved the movie rented to my iPod and click sync.  The movie settles on my iPod, the synchronization process lasted about a second, and then the film moved immediately to my Mac.  I thought there may be a problem with the movie, I downloaded, so I rented another film in SD and it's the same thing when I tried to move it to my iPod.  Until last week it never happened to me before.  Anyone with similar problems?  Thank you.

    I guess that there is enough free space on the iPod...  You don't get an error message?

    If all the songs on the iPod (and other content) are stored in your iTunes library, you can do a restore of the iPod using iTunes.  This erases the iPod, reinstall its software and sets it to the default settings.  If there is data corruption on the iPod that causes this problem, restore will fix it.

  • iPod classic used to synchronize all the songs in the library

    I have 414 albums and 3100 songs in my iTunes library on my Windows 7 desktop. Same problem on my laptop Win 8.1.

    When I connect my 106 GB Classic iPOD, songs only 398 appear when I click on 'Musical library of full synchronization.'  Up to 85% of the songs that are on my hard drive in the iTunes folder Media/Music doesn't sync to iPOD Classic.

    Help! It used to work very well for years until last year.

    Choose a song that is currently not sync to the iPod.  In the iTunes window, find it in your iTunes library, make a right click and select information.  In the Info window, go to the file tab.  Next to location, what he says it?  If it shows a file path, you can copy and paste in your next post.  (If your full real name is in the path, please substitute for it).  Who can predict an idea why this song (and others) do not currently synchronizing with the iPod.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Sync of the Ipod Classic from 2 computers using HomeShare

    I have an iPod classic which is fully functional and in good condition with no problems.

    I have a laptop and a desktop computer.  The laptop is a netbook and very slow. I recently installed iTunes on the desktop computer and cannot find my external hard drive to transfer music.  I did share House on two computers, since I have wifi at home.  There were a couple of albums that I put on the itunes of google drive, so I'm able to say that there is music, it takes the laptop and the music that was already on the desktop itunes. He cannot afford to make playlists using music from the desktop and shared music of homeshare; is it possible to actually use the wifi connection to get music on itunes on the computer so that it is the same thing, or do I have to manually transfer the music as well? If I sync ipod from the desk top music will there be to synchronize?

    To load songs on an iPod (which is not an iPod touch), the files must be stored locally on the computer running iTunes to sync the iPod.  You can use the 'normal' file sharing via your WiFi connection (not related to iTunes) to transfer music files between computers and add the songs in the iTunes library, that you use to synchronize the iPod.

  • 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.

  • synchronization does not work on ipod classic

    Hello

    I have an Ipod Classic, but the last time I tried to recharge the battery with a usb cable, a message informed me that a restore is necessary. I restored the ipod and suddenly I couldn't sync the ipod with itunes Gallery more. Exactly, when I try to sync the Gallery, I can push the button but the itunes message is "synchronization is complete", but no track goes to the ipod. What is going on? The iTunes version is 12.0.1.26 and the OS X version is 10.9.5. What can I do to really perform the synchronization?

    Thank you very much.

    Marco

    If you do a restore, current iTunes sets the iPod to use the parameter manually manage music and videos , by default.  If you want to use automatic synchronization, 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.

    Check the box to Sync music.  This enables automatic synchronization.  Below, if your library complete iTunes music fits on the iPod, choose the option to synchronize the entire music library.  Click apply.

  • What is the order of the removal of the songs to an iPod Classic syncing > somehow my laptop has started the process of synchronization without my knowledge and removed approximately 2,000 songs of my iPod classic.  How can I identify which were delete

    What is the order of the removal of the songs to an iPod Classic syncing > somehow my laptop has started the process of synchronization without my knowledge and removed approximately 2,000 songs of my iPod classic.  How can I identify which were deleted songs?  I always manually move files to prevent this.  I'm on Windows 10.

    Has no way to know that...

    If your library iTunes music fits on the storage space of 160 GB of your iPod classic, you just set to automatically sync your entire library of music.  Then, it won't matter which has been removed and which do not get deleted, because your iPod music library is the same as your library iTunes music.  And iTunes it keeps this way, every time your iPod connection (or click sync , if already connected).

    If you don't want "everything" in your iTunes library on your iPod (understandable), you can create a playlist in your iTunes library with all the songs you want on the iPod.  Then, set to automatically synchronize the playlist to iPod.  Instead of manually managing iPod, you manually manage playlist in your iTunes library.  The iPod has no need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected), iTunes will update the iPod with the same changes.  The big advantage is, if something happens like what you describe, or needs to restore iPod (erased) or even if break you your iPod (and get a new), need you a few mouse clicks to solve the problem.  Just set it up to sync the same playlist once again, which exists in your library iTunes (not only on the iPod).

    You can post back for more information about how to use automatic synchronization to do what you want more easily, go ahead.

  • iTunes 12.3.1.23, iPod Classic and Windows 10: can synchronize once, then needs to restart

    After the upgrade to iTunes 12.3.1.23 I am more able to synchronize several times. I have to restart if I want to sync again.

    Shows Device Manager:

    right-click Apple Mobile Device USB Driver shows this:

    Windows 10 1511 64 - bit * iTunes 12.3.1.23 * iPod Classic 160 GB (7th generation)

    Norton Antivirus by chance? This seems to cause problems for some.

    iTunes uses the Service iPod for iPod classic rather than the Apple Mobile Device Service. The message may be due to an old version of 32-bit AMDS not removed, then the 64-bit version was installed. You can try to remove the current driver to see if the right pair will then load. Otherwise complete a tear down and rebuild iTunes may be in order. See the second area of the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • need stop synchronization before finishing to avoid ipod classic remove

    I've updated to itunes version 12.5.1, as well as Windows 10.  If I let my ipod classic finish syncing, everything on the ipod is removed.  So I have to restore the ipod in disk mode so that itunes recognizes the ipod and avoid itunes gel settings.  I found the only way to keep my music is to stop synchronization before it ends or the entire contents of the ipod is removed, and I'll have to go through the process of restoring ipod to factory settings again.  During synchronization, I disable the Windows 10 firewall and anti virus as Apple support told me that it could interfere with itunes.  What is - this with the finishing of sync that removes my ipod?

    It's weird...  Hard drive it is possible to the iPod becomes unreliable and is damaged during the synchronization process.  What happens if you set it up to only synchronize a small number of songs, instead of "all"?  For example, on the settings screen of music from iPod in iTunes, rather than choose to synchronize the entire musical library, choose the option to synchronize playlists, artists, albums, and genres, and select only a SINGLE album.  These songs always get deleted at the end of synchronization?
