LOL, I fixed the problem, but I can't remember how I did it. Even though I didn't have 5 computers listed as being authorized, that had something to do with it, as after I de-authorized all computers, and then authorized the computer I'm now using, I was finally able to get the music to drop down from the cloud. Sometimes I still have the issue where the iPod won't sync, and then I change USB ports on the computer and it will then sync. Yet, the USB where I was trying to get the sync works fine with a flash drive. So I wonder if moving the plug or cord while reconnecting allowed the sync. I've heard that the connector to the iPod can go bad, and maybe that is what is happening, but I can't prove it right now. I guess time will tell on that. I can't remember if there was something else I did. At least at this time I can download most of the time without changing USB's. I have to believe that it "is" the iPod itself. I haven't dropped it, but I use it every day and it's a couple of years old. This is all I can report.
Thanks for your help and suggestions. Yes, there is an Apple store here in town. Don't know if they can repair an iPod though. Once it quits, I'll take it in and see.

There are so many possible variables and culprits. One would almost have to be there with you to figure it out.
Can you take it to an Apple store?

No it doesn't. I've checked the boxes for my Music, pictures, and Podcasts. That's all I have to sync. I've tried authorizing my computer over and over and it tells me it's authorized. This is the only computer that is currently authorized. I've tried plugging the ipod into different USB's. The computer and itunes has been restarted numerous times. I thought I was going to get it to sync once tonight and then it only sync'd 11 songs of many albums, and a couple podcasts, and not even the most recent ones, before the sync shut down. I googled the problem, and got a page that said to partitioin my computer and install iTunes by itself in one of the partitioned areas. I don't see how that's going to work, or make any difference. I've run out of things to try. Can you suggest anything else? Connie

After the iPod is plugged in, on the left you should see it listed. Clicking on it will bring up other options. For each of the things you want to sync, you have to select the box. Clicking sync will then start syncing the content.

I bought a new computer from Amazon.com, and when it came it looked used, so I told Amazon and they sent me another, and this one looks new and set up like it was new. But now I'm having a problem syncing my Classic iPod. I can pull the podcasts up in iTunes, and the iPod will show that it's syncing, but if I look at the iPod page that shows how much is on the iPod, the short sync doesn't put anything on it. I couldn't tell if it was a problem with my iPod or the computer. So I hooked up my old computer and the iPod synced perfectly with no problems. The only thing it could be was the security suite, which was McAfee, so I uninstalled that, and installed Security Essentials, which was what I used on my old computer. Well the new Security Essentials came up as 360 Security. I tried shutting down everything I could in the 360 and still I can't get the iPod to sync. What do you suggest? Should I try to contact iTunes/Apple to see if they know the problem with that software?

If you are trying to sync a device with iTunes that has been synced with another iTunes library, it will ask if you want to delete what content is on the device and sync with the content in iTunes.

I hope some of you are still actively helping others, because I really need help. I've spent 4 hours trying to read and determine how to set up my syncing in iTunes.
I get message windows that are very confusing, i.e., asking me if I'm sure I want to delete everything on my iPod and sync with only the ones showing. No, I would prefer just adding on to what's on the iPod, but don't even know how to get the sync set up.
