hi.

normally just connect my ipod to my pc .. and within seconds itunes pops up .. and it and my ipod say " syncing ipod " .. and it happens .

All of a sudden .. all that's going on my ipod is a handful of tunes i've added in the last few days .

My exsisting 1000+ tunes are showing on itunes but not transferring.

Now what have i lashed up ?? !!!!!

thanks

Is your ipod showing as connected to you itunes?

Have you somehow set it not to auto synch?
Will it synch manually?

far as i know i haven't change anything .

when i attach ipod to pc .. the normal happens .. itunes opens and it and ipod says "syncing do not disconnect .. and then after a few seconds they both say syn done now ok to disconnect . .. itunes screen still showing my 1000+ tunes .. but ipod only having 6 tracks that i bought the other day

Click the ipod in itunes and select the music tab. Make sure you have 'sync all' or something along the lines of that.

So it is synching-you said it wasn't. It's just not synching your music.
Is is set to synch music? Sounds like this has become disabled, as I think normally music is synched by default.
In iTunes, select your iPod under Devices, go to the Music tab and check that 'Synch Music' is ticked.
Edit: deadduck beat me to it.

When your iPod is connected to iTunes there'll be a tab on the left showing as iPod - click onto this. This will then show you various things in the main window, what's likely happened is under the music tab (I think) you've got it set to only update certain playlists rather than everything - having a look at the window options with your iPod connected should show you enough to resolve this.

you need to tell itunes to sync all music with that ipod

most curious .. i got to the "sync music" under the "music" tab .. and it is ticked to syn entire library .. but it's just not doing it ?

(macman .. i was saying that whilst ipod & itunes said it was syncing .. that syncing was done ... tsaying o disconnect .... the end result is that it's just not syncing everything . just half a dozen tunes i downloaded the other day )

is it worth me doing "restore" ?

Tried unticking, closing Itunes, reopeening and reticking?
Are you running the most up to date software on iPod and iTunes-update within iTunes if not.
