Why won't my iPod sync? It says it is, but when it's done it hasn't updated...

My laptop recently crashed, so I bought a new one. All of my iTunes were on the one that crashed, so I went to CNET.com and bought the Media Widget Easy iPod Transfer 5.5.51 to transfer the contents of my iPod to my new laptop. It seemed to work great although it did say that 100 files wouldn't be able to be played because they were not authorized to be used on this computer. That's one problem, but the BIGGER problem is that when I try to sync my iPod it doesn't update. Any ideas??

Yes, authorize your new laptop for your iTunes account. Then attempt the download again of those files.

I believe the way to fix your sync issue is to restore the iPod to its defaults. This means that you'll want to get everything off prior to doing this. Once its been "wiped" and restored to defaults, it should work.

You should be able, I think, to authorize them on the new computer, when you still have your iTunes user name and password.

Don't know about the sync thing, you should maybe play around with 1 single file to see what helps. In my iPod for instance, some individual MP3 songs did not sync (never saw them on the iPod). Finally it turned out that those songs had the "album" field left blank. Just entered a dummy album name and then they did sync. Strange, because some others without album name synced correctly.

Just try a lot of things until something works.
