I purchased a brand new iPod 160GB Classic today as a present from my aunt. Well, I tried to sync it and it wouldn’t work, though the iPod itself showed up in iTunes. So I rebooted my computer and ‘rebooted’ my iPod. and it worked. Well, I’ve since added new songs but it refuses to allow me to sync them to my iPod. I’m really upset as this is the first time I’ve used an iPod since my last one was stolen a few years ago.

I hope they get this fixed asap because it would suck to have wasted over $200 for an ipod.

May I add to the report? I just allowed a quicktimes+itunes update on my computer and it detroyed Itunes. The program won't pull up, I was instructed to run a repair using the “program and features” control pad. This did not help. I am a little worried.
I checked for Windows updates, as directed, and then reran the repair. No change.

I have the 120G ipod classic and on Monday, I went to sync some new songs to my ipod and when I plugged it in, it seemed fine until my itunes loaded, froze, and wiped all of my songs off and I can no longer use my ipod. This was after I updated to iTunes 9.

I have an 80g Ipod classic, I had noticed all my Itunes purchases were only playing about 4 seconds then skipping. I googled- and found others had simply re-synched and fixed the problem. As soon as I plugged in my ipod Itunes told me my ipod was not recognized and I had to restore… It took four tries, and Finally it seemed to be synching….. well I went to bed at around 1am last night- it was on song 1896 or so, it is now 9am, and it is working on song 1904…

I feel like I'll never have an Ipod again.

I have a 3G iPhone I received for Christmas and I downloaded 9.2 and can not sync with my Mac. In addition it took all my photo's on my computer which were neatly divided in different folders and lumped them into one big folder without any names. For example, graduation, vacation, Christmas, etc. Everything is gone, 9000+ photo's no longer divided and neatly labeled. Some of the photo's on my phone are also missing. Some are there, but most are missing. Never had any problems in past.

i have a 8gb nano 4th generation/
i downloaded the new iTunes last night and was able to sync new songs with my iPod.
but this morning, after turning my pc on, iTunes cannot be open saying that there’s a problem with Quicktime. So i reinstalled it. Then i got the message saying ‘The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read…’. i searched how to deal with it in the internet and they said that i should make another copy of my latest ‘Previous iTunes Library’ and use it to open my iTunes. After that, yes, it opened. But every single song in my library is gone.

Not fixing the problem is Apple’s way of saying, “Buy ANOTHER iPod, Suckers!”

My 160 gb classic has been utterly destroyed by syncing with version 9.0.3. I have reset, rebooted, etc – but it will not sync. If I look at the iPod, it claims to have 30Gb free – the remaining files presumably are corrupted. When I try to sync, it will take an hour to recognise the iPod then it just hangs. There was no problem pre 9.0.3 so I am somewhat annoyed. So far I have spent hours trawling forums and trying to reset.

have 160 gb classic … photos will not sync. Everything else is fine … using version 9.0.3. Ipod Classic dispays “Syncing” when first connected, then says “connected” – even though Itunes says Syncing iPod.
