I have an iPod Classic and link to my music stored on a laptop with Windows 8.1, running a recent download of iTunes (12.2.2.25). The iPod will connect to iTunes, will briefly say synchronizing, then will say connected, but it will not sync. A half hour goes by and nothing happens. I tried this on three separate occasions. I finally eject....but the new music is not on the iPod. Any ideas?
Its good that it's recognized, thats step 1 🙂 Now try these other steps here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/ Hope that helps you!
did not help!
Well, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one! I was hoping to avoid "restoring" my iPod but I did all the Troubleshooting tips and finally did the Restore. Mistake! Now I have a blank iPod that won't sync. So I can't even listen to my OLD music because there is no music of any kind on the iPod and I can't seem to add any. Restarts of the re-installed iTunes and of the entire computer didn't help. Now I am totally stuck. Very frustrated and sad.😠
Didn't help. And now things are even worse....See below. But I do appreciate your quick reply and willingness to try to be of assistance.
Hello.
I figured out my problem, at least. I hope this will help you. Although I did NOT change this setting, evidently the iTunes download did. When the iPod was connected it would show a "Summary" page (see left frame). That looked fine, but when I clicked on the Music category below the summary, I saw that the sync all music box had become unchecked. When I checked that, unchecked the music videos, and then clicked sync....it worked. Since I have 21000 songs and had wiped the iPod with a "Restore," syncing from scratch took a couple of hours, but I appear to be back in business. So check that setting, and good luck!
