My ipod was acting very strange not playing music right and missing audio on some songs so I reset it and went to set it up as a new ipod on my itunes account. I got through everything up to syncing music. Whenever it gets to copying the music over it will not do it, it copies about maybe 10 songs and stops, then resets the syncing process again and repeats this. Is there any way to fix this so I can finally have a normal functioning ipod again?
Try:
- another USB port and cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
I have tried two USB cables already and that does not seem to be the issue nor is it my ipod, I do not have QuickTime installed on my computer yet so could that maybe be the issue?
Lack of QT is not the problem since some songs sync.
Maybe you have a hardware problem based on the problen that made you restore the iPod.
make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
update: Restored my ipod from the backup that was saved on my laptop and it synced fine. Today I bought two albums and installed them through itunes and tried to sync up through my desktop PC and it did the same thing. I do not believe this is a hardware issue since it works fine on my laptop and not on my desktop PC I think it is an itunes issue.
You said :it works fine on my laptop and not on my desktop PC"
You can only sync with one computer. To change syncing computers you have to restore the iPod via iTunes on the second computer.
If you did that and are still having problems and an already removed and reinstall all Apple software then that indicates a computer problem. Maybe hardware or software.
highly unlikely.. the PC isnt even a month old nor is it a cheap PC, I have not tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but like I said I really don't think its something with my computer as it has not had issues so far. Does it maybe have something to do with Windows 8 by chance?
I do not think so since it syncs some songs.
Do you have 8 or 8.1?
I have 8.1
(thanks for the support with this by the way :])
