Lost manual & set-up disc to iPod 5th generation....HELP?!

My son lost the manual and start-up/set-up disc to his iPod 5th generation. I asked someone to download a few songs for me & they downloaded almost 6,000 songs.....only 20 songs are acceptable for my son, who is at the age where he has certain songs he likes & dislikes, but I havent a clue how to delete the songs that he doesn't want.....please help, he is devastated that he waited until the holiday & now cannot listen to/play his new iPod.......

See this for info on deleting songs...

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Bought ipod 5th generation off ebay, computer doesn't recognise it, even in disc mode.  any suggestions?

    I bought ipod 5th generation off ebay, computer doesn't recognise it, even in disc mode.  any suggestions?

    Can I assume you are using iTunes 10?
    But most probably, your iPod hardisk is the problem and your Windows 7 is taking a long time to read the disk filesystem.
    Do a disk diagnostic first as posted by tt2, don't worry about the Mac user, Disk diagnostic refer to iPod and not the OS.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3110831?tstart=240
    This wont fix your problem, but will help in troubleshooting route, as there are dozens of reasons for the failure.
    Post the results here and hopefully it is not the harddisk.
    Good Luck!

  • Given an older ipod , 5th generation and 30GB, can't restore

    I was given an older iPod, 5th generation 30GB, I can't reset or restore it using windows 7 based computer even with the most current iTunes download. Is anyon e else having trouble resetting older iPods with windows or is their something wrong with the iPod itself. And if there is a problem with the iPod, does anyone know the approximate cost to get it repaired. I can't get anyone at Apple to tell me anything without it being looked at by a 'Genius' first. I don't want to waste my time driving an hour each way to an Apple store if I would better off just buying a new one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Here's more information on error message, it just says 'unknown error' and won't go into disc mode.when following the '5 R's' in technical support.

  • Wifi will not work on iPod 5th Generation

    I have had my iPod 5th generation since early September of last year. It was been working smoothly up until today. The wifi is on and it is recognizing networks but when I attempt to join it either says 'Unable to connect to network' or I put in the password to the wifi network and it immediately asks me to re-enter the password. I have restarted my wireless router, restarted my iPod, reset my network settings on the iPod and it is still doing the same thing. I have not jail broke this iPod ever and it is up to date using iOS 8.1.3 which I installed three days ago. The wifi was working fine immediately after the update which makes me unsure if that is what caused this. Does anyone know how I might fix this.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Help with my addicted Ipod 5th generation!

    My Ipod 5th generation is fully charged but only works if it is charging. When I try to turn it on (in this case it's not charging) the apple sign shows but then it turns off again. I have updated it to see if it would fix the problem but nothing... A couple months ago it reserted by it self... It has gone mental... Or it was brainwashed like when I try to explain to someone what happened. I could only update it now though. Please guys, help me.. I need my music...

The reason I did this is because it would say she has reach her limit on apple id's? Not sure never owed a apple before please help..

    Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed? The latest version is 10.5.1.
    Have you tried a different USB port?
    Rebooted the computer?
    Reset or restarted the iPhone?

  • My iPod 5th generation has been stolen.

    My iPod 5th generation has been stolen and I don't have my box. Can I get the imei number without using itunes? In itunes, it's showing only the serial number. And they say that iDevices cannot be tracked with serial number.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.

  • How come my ipod 5th generation locks me out when I put the right password?

    I put the correct password into my iPod 5th generation and sometimes (almost all the time now) locks me out. It mostly happens to me when I need to do something off of my iPod. Please help!!!

    Sounds mostly like operator error from the very sparse description.
    Exactly when this happens – becomes important, else people are forced to guess what you are talking about.
    Do you have more than one password & are using the wrong one?
    (Could it be that you have a long password & a short ID passcode for something like 1Password?)
    I’ve found there is sometimes an extra half second time-lag & I that I am typing ahead & it is not properly registering whenever this happens to me on the lock screen, or I try typing the character again, because of the lag. Do you have the tap speed set low?
    If you have a cover for your iPad, those can sometimes cause a mistype.
    Another might be that [one] doesn’t look to see that the correct password characters were entered instead of its key neighbor (sloppy fat-fingering).

  • When I add songs to my ipod 5th generation the songs don't add, why is that?

    I keep adding new songs to my ipod. It seems to work but then I leave my house and the song isn't on my ipod. I've only had this ipod for about 3 weeks. Prior to this ipod, I owned another ipod 5th generation for about a year, but I lost it & I never encountered this problem with that ipod.
    the song shows up greyed out when i click my ipod from my itunes like this:
    & isn't on my ipod once i disconnect it. It seems to be adding the songs slower or something. Also, sometimes when I attempt to add one single song to my itunes my whole library gets added to my ipod, which is annoying because I delete songs from my ipod, yet they're being added again.
    Is this apart of the update? Is there some way to fix this to the old settings because I tend to get music from other people's itunes libraries too, and i don't want their library syncing on my ipod.

    WOW, you have a big problem. My first suggestion is to restore your ipod, like btabz said. Other things you could do are 1). Send it in to a electronics store or apple.
    2). Get a new ipod (LAST RESORT)
    3). 5 R's- See http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/

  • I tried downloading the iOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it finished downloading it shut down completely and it said there was an error and no the iPod is in recovery mode. What can I do to restore it and update it? Please, I need help.

    Hello,
    I recently tried downloading the IOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it was almost done the computer said there was an error. Right after that, the iPod shut down completely and now it's on recovery mode. I plugged it in and it said that I had to restore it and update it so I could use it again but it doesn't let me. What can I do? I even did a backup before the update.
    I really need help.

    What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
    Without knowing that:
    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 another cable       
    - 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.
