My trusty ipod has spat the dummy with itunes!
ipod has ios 6.1.6 the last soft ware version for this ipod.
itunes version 12.1.3
Basically they won't sync any more.
itunes starts to sync and then displays a message saying syncing failed to start...
Have searched for days looking on the web for an answer and tried all suggested fix's workarounds etc.
Any ideas, help, experience with this problem ?
Thanks in advance
Check on SourceForge.net. I noticed an iPod repair program on there many years ago but I don't remember the name of it, and it maybe worth a shot if your iPod has become useless. Note I never tried the program since I've never owned an iPod.
Thanks Andavari However I got it working again before seeing your post.
It seems most (even Apple techs) recommend uninstalling itunes and reinstalling the latest version.
However just uninstalling itunes doesn't work.
Itunes installs with some other program's that need to be uninstalled as well! see list below.
In theory these 4 program's listed below should update with an itunes update! well I'm guessing thats what used to happen.
1/ Apple Application Support
2/ Apple Mobile Device Support
3/ Apple Software Update
4/ Bonjour
The 4 program's above are all part of itunes and will all reinstall with the latest version of itunes again
Bottom line! This is a very common problem with ipod & itunes and this is the safest and easiest way to fix!
I had to go find mine and check this out. Well, mine is a iPod Nano....so it's charging now.
Ok... always good to know...
Hey Craig!
Where on earth have you been hiding yourself? I think you've even surpassed my missing months off here.
Good to see you again and I hope all's good with you my upside down friend.
Pleased you fixed your syncing issue, and I read somewhere recently that Apple may be moving away from having users tied to iTunes. That would be a great move as ITunes, although usually good at what it does, is something I would never have on my computer again. I'm a Sony Walkman fanboy and sync it faultlessly with Windows Media Player.
So easy and painless.
