The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcude synced media like apps and music. Those items should be in your iTunes library.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

I bought my nephew a new ipod touch 16gb to replace his 8gb. Can't seem to get all songs or apps to transfer from the old one to the new? Any suggestions

I tried using itunes on his computer and it transferred his pictures and 25 of his 34 songs. None of the apps transferred so when we got to where we had wi-fi I enabled ICloud on both ipods. The new ipod shows where the original was backed up but it didn't add anything to the new ipod. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

If he still has his or your itunes user and password on his iTunes app, iTunes should let you redownload it again FREE OF CHARGE. Any paid apps you already paid for, will reinstall for FREE.
OR if u have iCloud for that iPod.... try these links:

I bought an app that can't run on my iPod Touch because it is too old. Can I gift the app to someone else or get a refund?

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation. I didn't even realize the new iPod Touch 5 had come out, or that my device would not support the newest iOS.
Recently, an app came out that I was looking forward to for months: "The Walk" by Six to Start (same folks who did the excellent "Zombies, Run!" app). I'm pregnant and I was hoping to have the app to encourage me to get back into my walking habit once I recovered from childbirth, so I bought it. Unfortunately, there was no warning or indication that this app would NOT work on my iPod Touch 4, and nothing to inform me that iOS 7 wouldn't be supported on my device. The app requires iOS 7 or higher to run, so it won't work on my iPod Touch at all. I didn't realize any of this until I tried to install it.
So now I have this app that I paid for, but have never used, and CAN never use (unless I shell out $300+ for a new device, which I cannot do, as a stay-at-home parent-to-be with no income of my own anymore). I'm annoyed that I can't use this app that I really wanted, but it would help if I could at least get a refund or maybe send the app to someone who CAN use it.
Is there anything I can do at this point, or do I just have to live with the fact that I wasted money on an app that I can't use?

You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Blind ipod touch user, is there a way I can avoid having to enter the password w. upper and lower case letters?

The Touch has to be the most frustrating, user-unfriendly device. (I use my old iPod every day, constantly and still love it.) But on the iPod Touch, I occasionally have to use it, even though I hate it, usually to update software, and I can't enter the password using the tiny on-screen keyboard, esp. having to enter lower and uppercase letters. Does anyone know of a workaround?

Try using an app like 1Password.

Grandson's ipod touch plays the music if the earphones are plugged in but not if it is unplugged and on the ipod docking station nor do the external speakers work. What is wrong?

I won an ipod touch and gave it to my grandson for Xmas but sometimes the external speakers do not emit music but the music can be heard with the earplugs in. It also will not play on the docking station speakers. What is wrong. Of course Apple is sayin there is no warranty.

Try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again and let it start up. You will not lose any data doing a reset.
If this does not help, set it up as new device again, explained in this article: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

My Ipod touch 4G withdraw some songs. It can see them but can't play.

Does anybody help me? I sick of my Ipod. It regularly loses some songs (randomly without definite order). I have to delete them and transfer them to ipod again or restore ipod, otherwise it will lose more songs. Also it doesn't see some covers but they are shown in itunes. What is the reason of these troubles, does everybody know?
Thanks for attention.

Try to Reset your device. This often helps with many issues.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
If that doesn't help, try a Restore:
