• 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!

• 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).

• 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

• How can I find what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod.

  My computer with the installed iTunes died. I tried to load iTunes in my new computer, and then use it with my iPod and I get the error message that another version of iTunes has been used to record music on my iPod.  The new iTunes wants to erase everything on my iPod and start over.   Is the only place in all the songs I have on my iPod so I don't want to erase it and start over. I need to know what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod, the last time that I've updated so that I can download the version of iTunes and my iPod allows to recover all my songs in iTunes.   In turn if there is a way that I can download all my iPod songs in a folder on the computer and then reload them in iTunes.

  That is to say that a different library was used. The version is not really relevant. If your old computer and new were both running the same version you'd still see the same message unless you have migrated your library or restored a backup.

• used to synchronize nano

  Used to synchronize nano 4 GB.

  Cannot add or remove music nano via a computer usb port to nano!

  Based on this limited information, it is difficult to guess at the real problem.  Here is some basic info, that can help...

  In current iTunes, click the button on the device to access settings of recapitulation of the iPod screen in iTunes.  Here is a screenshot of the upper left corner of my iTunes window, showing an iPod button (circled in red).  Click on this button.

  

  On the settings of the iPod summary screen, it has a sidebar along the left side of the window (below the tiny image and the name of iPod).  In the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.  If you expect that iTunes to automatically sync music when you connect iPod, check mark the box to Sync music.

  NOTE: All songs currently on the iPod that are not in iTunes on your computer, library will be lost.

  Then, set up this screen to tell how to automatically sync songs to iPod to iTunes.  Click Apply to sync.  Further, iTunes automatically updated iPod (when you connect or click sync , if already connected) with changes to the iTunes music library, based on how you set up this screen.

  If you want to manually load (and remove) songs on iPod, back on the settings of the iPod summary screen, checkmark the box for manually manage music and videos].  And apply.

  Please post back with any specific questions.

• Can't remove my iPod in itunes podcasts

  I download Radio 4 podcasts for my ipod Nano.  The part of the subscription will easily and podcasts download without problems.  But when I want to delete a podcast because I have already heard, it remains on the ipod or downloads again the next time I connect the ipod to iTunes.

  I change to delete 'manual' on the summary page and then I go to Podcasts on my ipod page.  I click the program, and then make a right click to click on the button Delete.   The program then is more present on the iTunes page, but is often always here on ipod or it downloads the next time I connect.

  I see a lot of other people have the same problem, but when I clicked on them, nothing came.

  Why not use the built in options to automatically include a limited selection articles unplayed will then remove themselves automatically during the next synchronization if they played?

• When I connect my iPod to iTunes it says the storage overhead but it says on the iPod 8 GB available

  Please help me with this

  Looks like you have iTunes configured to synchronize automatically when a device is connected and you have iTunes configured so that one tries to synchronize media more to the iPod as the storage space available on the iPod.

  Check your synchronization settings:

  iTunes: synchronization of multimedia content for iPod and iOS devices

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201253

  Try the synchronization using the manual method

  The error message really says the 'storage overhead '?

• 6th generation Nano more often used to synchronize

  Just got a used iPod Nano 6th generation, and I'm in trouble.

  I have an iMac 27 inch, model late 2009, running El Capitan. I have the latest version of iTunes.

  When I connect the iPod to the computer via most of the USB sites, it does not appear in the Finder as a mounted drive. However, it fact appear in system information under Bus USB 2.0-> Hub-> iPod. The system seems vaguely aware that there is a connected iPod, but doesn't let me do anything with it. The iPod itself says that it is connected, and it charges with success.

  However, when I plug the iPod into either of the USB slots on my Apple wired keyboard, it fact appear in the Finder. Basically, on 6 slots USB (4 on iMac) and 2 on the keyboard, it will only reveal when it is connected to one of them.

  Once I got it in the right port USB, iTunes has been able to recognize the iPod. However, it seems especially want to synchronize. Usually it hangs there for several minutes while trying to synchronize before you say it's impossible: "iTunes could not copy X to iPod Y because the file cannot be read or written.". At this point, there usually is no longer appears in iTunes (even if it is mounted in the Finder).

  Sometimes successfully, it syncs, but 90% of the time that it just hangs up. I don't see a model when this happens. I wrote this, I was able to do accept a synchronization of two podcasts and a song, and then it stopped working again.

  I tried to reset the iPod and be in and out of disk mode. I was unable to restore factory default via iTunes: nothing happens for awhile, then iTunes says that it cannot.

  I tried to manually add files to the iPod by dragging on in the Finder. This usually causes Finder hang and then must be restarted. In some cases, I can't even restart Finder until I pull the cable the iPod, as the whole system crashes.

  I used on the iPod disk utility, to fix all the errors (he found) and to clear its contents.

  I wonder if this is related to the USB cable, but I guess my thought is that if the cable was defective, wouldn't I have not have done until now? It shows in the Finder, cool and sometimes allows to synchronize a file. But I could well be wrong. Before I go buy a new one, I thought I would check here to see if it could be something else.

  Any help is appreciated. I have this during 4 hours, try different things, read troubleshooting guides, forum posts, etc.

  Your Mac is old enough to have ports USB 2.0, so your 6th gen iPod nano should work well with it.  My Mac mini's 2011 (last iTunes and OS X running); It works very well with my old iPods; most of them are older than your iPod nano.  It should work on the direct USB ports on your iMac.  It is strange that it works a little better on the free USB port on your keyboard.  Normally, I would suggest using a direct USB port on Mac when troubleshooting.  And your USB cable is probably fine; I would bad cable try another cable or using your cable power with another Apple device (if possible).

  First, you must use the procedure to Reset SMC (System Management).  It serves as a general hardware reset for the Mac.  For an Intel iMac, it's basically unplug the power cord from the iMac and reconnect it, at the end of a specific procedure

  NOW, you can try some real tests to narrow down the cause of your problem.  These are separate test.

  (1) stop (power off) Mac and disconnect all the USB devices.  You can leave your connected USB keyboard/mouse.  Do this Reset (reboot) of your iPod

  Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support

  Start the Mac, launch iTunes and connect the iPod to a USB direct on the Mac, by himself.  Is there a difference?  This is to exclude a conflict between connected USB devices.

  (2) the iMac in Safe Mode startup

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

  In Safe Mode, the extensions of the system of third parties (such as device drivers) are not loaded when you start.  In addition, the third party background processes that launch automatically when the connection do not run.  This is to exclude a conflict with a third party software that may interfere with the iPod.  Your iPod should (normally) always connect with iTunes in Safe Mode.  Try things like the synchronization and restore in iTunes.

  (3) create a new 'Test user' account in the users and groups System Preferences pane.  I have a user account on my Mac named Test user.  This user account can be Standard (not administrator). Disconnect , then reconnect you user account.  Do not use Quick user change.  In the new user account, run iTunes and connect your iPod.  iTunes uses a new iTunes library.  Add a few songs to test the library.  Try things that don't work well in your usual user account.  This is to rule out a problem related to your usual user account or iTunes library.

  (4) you can do another test, if you have something like an external drive that can be erased.  Use the Setup program for El Capitan downloaded from the Mac App Store to install an external OS X "fresh" on the hard drive system, after erasing it in disk utility.  Startup test of external drive system.  Launch iTunes, plug in the iPod and try even.  This is to rule out a problem with your existing system of El Capitan, which can inherit problems that you apply updates over time.

  In each case, if the iPod works normally for this test, you have reduced the cause.  You can then focus your troubleshooting to find the exact cause.  Please post back with new discoveries...

• Used to synchronize 160 GB...

  I connect it, it shows "sync", but a second later iPod says OK to disconnect without having disconnected me. I can't deal with it seriously.

  This is normal, if iTunes does not updates to sync with the iPod.  You say expect you changes (e.g. new songs) to automatically sync with iPod, but they do not have?  If so, you should check how music from iPod settings screen is set up in iTunes.  If it is not currently set to sync music, the iPod shows it is "sync" (when connected), but nothing syncs.  To do this, what you have described.

  Click on the button of the iPod in iTunes.  The screenshot below shows the left upper corner of the window of my iTunes, with device button circled in red.

  

  Settings of the iPod summary screen.  Along the left side of the window, in the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  Parameters of music from the iPod screen to the right, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.  Check the box to Sync music.

  NOTE: If this box is not already checked, and check it out you now, all the songs on the iPod that are not in iTunes on your computer, library will be lost.

  This enables automatic synchronization.  Below, if your music library can fit on your iPod, you can choose to synchronize the entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to synchronize some lists of reading, artists, albums and genresand make selections from the list below.  Click apply.  Go ahead, iTunes automatically updated iPod when you connect (or click sync , if already connected), based on how you set up this screen.

  If this isn't the problem, please post back with more details about your situation.

• Impossible to find music on ipod onto itunes 12.4.3.1

  I've just updated iTunes to version 12.4.3.1

  I have no idea why I continue to update my iTunes when the "old" worked better for me

  I always use my concert 160 iPod as it holds most of the music

  It recognizes my device, but I am not able to use the search function to search for songs on the device to edit a new playlist.

  His pain in the rear to scroll 16 283 mp3 files when it used to be a piece of cake to just use the search bar to find what I wanted.

  I do drag and drop my files because I didn't add music through multiple-CPU, so no its not synchronized with a device so the common suggestion of my regular iTunes library search will not work

  How can I use the search function to search again in my iPod on iTunes? Or is anyone know what version of iTunes I should get a download at these updates because no else that make the program less useful for me

  Click on the magnifying glass in the search box and make sure that the entire library search is unchecked.

  If it is not then use iTunes Feedback and ask to search for devices synchronized manually be reinstated.
