Why is my ipod not letting me connect so i can sync music

You shouldn't have a problem because it is jail-broken. If the ipod touch fails to stay connected the whole time try: 1.Keeping it extremely still during sync. 2.Restore ipod and try again. If it does stay connected you likely don't have music or videos set to sync. Read this article to understand more about syncing your ipod touch: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386

I understood that this is an Apple Ipod..and you are trying to connect it to a windows bassed computer ..so ..there is no driver for apple product in windows...the connection and sync is made by Itunes...Download and installl Itunes for windows..and after that when you wil connect the Ipod..this will be visible in the Itunes and will let you add music in the Itunes Library ..and after that ..click on the ipod..(by name or device ...will be in list ) ..and on its category ..choose audio ..and sync...in this moment it will sync the music from the Itunes library into the Ipod..and every time you will want to add new music..just add them into the library and after that when you press sync ..it will sync the music that is added...but remember ..there is the possibility that if you delete some tune from library ..when you sync and if it is not there anymore.it may delete it from the Ipod..or may restore it in the library ...It is a little more strange than the usually mp3 players ..but this is the only way to work with Apple in wondows..

Are you able to play the music on your PC using iTunes? If so, then:

1: Connect your iPod and let the sync finish, but leave the iPod connected.
2: In iTunes, find you iPod on the left side of the screen, and click on it. This will bring up your iPod's summary info.
3: Find the "Music" tab across the top, and check "sync all music"
4: click "apply" down in the bottom right corner. This will cause your iPod to sync again, and should load up your album rips.

Open iTunes (without iPod connected). Create a new playlist and copy songs you want on your iPod into that list. Next connect your iPod. Once iTunes recognizes your iPod then go to the music tab and click on 'sync playlist only' and chose the new playlist that you created. Click sync. Only the songs in your new playlist should be copied to your iPod.

before connecting ipod to your computer, open itunes and click on the EDIT menu then PREFERENCES, then click on the DEVICES tab, check the settings that prevent ipod from syncing automatically Box and click on OK.

Now connect your ipod and wait for itunes to detect and display tour ipod, click on your ipod on the left column and CHECK Manually manage music box
you will see an arrow right before the ipod icon, click on the arrow ad it should expand, select MUSIC and now UNCHECK the box of every music you want to remove from the ipod and the old ones and go back to your ipod music menu and CHECK the SYNC MUSIC box then select the SYNC PLAYLIST, GENRES, ARTIST.

PRESS SYNC
now you are manually managing your ipod and syncing only the songs you want.
Make sure you check the box of only the music you want to sync in your itunes library so that it will not sync all the music in your library to your ipod.

when you sync the ipod itunes only syncs what you select.
it is possible your music list got uncheck or you had checked only synced check songs.
what happens then is the sync will replace you full library with only the songs checked.
when you connect to itunes and see the summary page. on the tabbed line just above the main contents window choose music.
look at your settings and see how it is set up.
set it to sync all music
then it will sync all the songs on your playlists every time.

you can also add and delete music by on your summary page uncheck automaticallu sync music.

then you can click on your music folder of your ipod and drag and drop song to the first column of the contents window. if you have any problems let me know

Two possible solutions:

Solution 1. Go to iTunes, go to Edit, Select All, go to Edit once again, select Delete. This will clear your whole music library. Connect you iPod and let it sync. It will delete everything in your iPod. The problem with this is that it will delete all your music in iTunes as well so you better back it up elsewhere.

Solution 2. Go to iTunes, connect your iPod, let it sync. Do not disconnect your iPod. On the left hand side of the screen you will see "Library", "Store", "Devices", etc. Go to "Devices" and you will see your iPod's name there. Click on it and you will see on the right hand side of your screen your iPod, with some menus tabs. On the first tab (Summary), make sure that "Sync only checked songs" is activated. Then go to the second tab ("Music"). Make sure "Sync music" is activated and "Selected playlists" is also activated. Make sure NONE of the playlists is activated. At the bottom right hand side of the scree there is a button that says "Sync". Press it and it will sync no songs into your iPod. That should clear the songs but leave the contents in iTunes intact. If you want to put some playlists in your iPod, then check only those and only those will be added to your iPod.

Hope this helps.

Connect your ipod, refuse the delete and sync. Make sure you get rid of all the sync options and check 'Manually manage music and videos'. Click on music, search for what you want and drag and drop onto iPod icon.
