Is your iPod being bad? Is it having problems syncing or talking to iTunes? Let’s try to troubleshoot some common problems why your iPod won’t sync.

Having syncing issues with your iPod is a common problem. For example, here’s a letter from a MethodShop.com reader named Kate:

Minted Methodshop“my ipod froze the other day and i did the online steps to unfreeze it. It did unfreeze but now i have no songs. The songs are still on my computer itunes software but not on my actual ipod. Some thing is coming up each time i connect my ipod saying something about automatically updating my ipod each time i reconnect it. And i clicked ‘yes’ to this the first time i reconnected after the ipod froze. I cannot get all my songs to update back onto my ipod. What can i do to get them back on. ~kate.

Kate,

AutoSyncing the music from your computer back onto your iPod shouldn’t be a problem. The fact that your iPod is freezing during this process means your iPod probably has an issue with its hard drive. Here are some common fixes.

Erase Your iPod

Hopefully your iPod’s hard drive is just fragmented. An easy way to fix a number of issues with an iPod is to erase it.
