Ipod touch has lost LOADS of my videos when connected to my MacBook Pro
Ok this is a weird one, and it's happened twice now.
So I use two macs, my 27" iMac at work which runs snow leopard, and my MacBook Pro laptop that is running Tiger.
Now I connect both to my brand new iPod Touch, which is great and has all my videos ond music on.
Now I uploaded a ton of films / tv etc and when I went on holiday I took my laptop with me to use and I also use to charge up my ipod.
Now when I was charging in itunes on the laptop it showed all my old videos and music for some reason, not sure why - but when I checked the iPod it had all my new stuff on.
So I charged it, added a new album from my laptop and thought all was fine. But it wasn't.
Now I have lost ALL the new music and videos I put on there, and it's even put the old films and tv back on there....How? Why?
Now when I click on the iPod touch it tells me under setings / about that I have 31 videos on there, but it's only showing 10. So they've somehoe gone and as I have them all on my work mac and I'm on holiday I can't get them back on....GRRRRRR!
This has happened once before but I've no idea why - can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks guys...it's so much of a pain.
- You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you sync with a different library, the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced what is in the iTunes library of the attached computer. It appears that is what happened..
- You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can "sync" music and videos from different ibraries by using the manual method specified here:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

IPod touch 4G with interferance on 1 channel when connected in my car
I have an iPod touch 4G with interferance on 1 channel when connected to my VW Golf (2009) using VW cables and a RNS510 stereo system. I can only listen to it if the balance is full left channel! Tried it in another car and it is fine. Tried my sons 2G touch in my car and that is fine. VW say the stereo is fine? I used the same settings as the VW technician's iPod his was OK and mine wasn't. Any ideas how to fix this?
ThanksTry turning off your iPod and turning it back on. It might Help.

1st gen iPod touch has lost it's volume control
After last update my iPod has lost it's volume control. I've tried everything I can think of - including doing a complete wipe and reinstall.
I've tested with several different headphones, incl Apples own, a pair of Skullcandy and a pair of Sennheiser.
No matter what I plug in the volume is extremely low, and I have no way of turning it up.
I've tried starting a playlist and then leave the music in the background. Then normally double-tapping the home button brings up music controls. That does happen, but there are no volume controls. Also there is no "Dock Connector" label in the control box.
What can I do?I'm suffering from the same frustrating problem. One thing that worked for me for a week was to go into settings->General and change the sound effects to just come out of headphones. Until recently it's been an intermittent issue, but now appears to be solid. Like you, I've tried with a variety of headphones and nothing happens apart from getting really quiet music playing (barely audible). It's almost as if the volume limit is being set really low.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

It Won't work what so ever Please Help
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem

I can't turn on my ipod or do anything with it. It's refurbished and I can't find the serial number so I don't know what to do. ANy suggestions? Thank you
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch is stuck on apple logo except when connect to computer
I have an Ipod touch 3G 32gb. When you try to wake the ipod from sleep the home button will not work. When you push the power button the apple logo will come on for approx. 30 sec and then it will go to a black screen. Everytime I hit the power button this occurs. I have done a restore and as long as it is connected to the computer it will boot up. As soon as I disconnect it and it goes into sleep mode, the cycle starts all over again. Any suggestions?
If it is still doing it after a restore, you most likely have a hardware issue.

please help!!!!!!
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

My ipod touch has being lost and stolen
My ipod touch has been lost and stolen
And have you reported this theft to the local police?
Did you enable "Find My Phone" in iCloud on the iPod? You may be lucky and see it, if somebody turns it on and it is still online, but that is a very slim chance. -

My IPod Touch has a small crack at the top of the screen and now the slider will not work to unlock it. Is the cracked screen the problem?
To get pass the passcode lockscreen, recovery mode and restoring should help: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync 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.
If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document. -
iTunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them. I reconnect to iTunes and it shows the music and books as being loaded on my iPod.
Sometimes the audiobook will play, then disappear from iPod's play menu after I reconnect to iTunes and load more music. I've got plenty of free memory, and iTunes shows the files still on iPod.
....or should I just roll it back to iOS 5... never had these kinds of issues with the old OS.Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all AB and resync
To delete all ADgo to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>AB and try deleting them from there
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.
If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.
