Plug your iPod into your computer and resync your songs back on.

IPod touch 32 GB (2nd generation) bricked

I recently bought an iPod touch 32 GB (2nd generation). It was working just fine until Safari completely crashed and I had to perform a reset by holding down the Sleep/Wake and Home button (as described on the Apple Support site). After that the iPod touch just keeps hanging on Apple logo without loading the Home screen. Because of it iTunes can't connect with the iPod.
This is the second time this has happened to me, the first time it completely bricked my iPod and I had to exchange it for a new one. I'm curious to what is causing my iPod touch to stay stuck after a reset with no apparent way to bring it back to a functional order.
Any thoughts on the matter? Note that I'm using the original firmware (v2.1.1) and not some jailbreaked version.

This happened to me as well but I found out by accident that when doing a hard reset (holding sleep and home buttons together) that it took my 2G 32GB iPod touch literally 10-15 minutes to restart itself after seeming to freeze at the Apple logo. In fact, I had tried to put it into DFU mode and got the same "software not installed" error in iTunes then did the hard reset and decided to wait. Then ~ 15 minutes later the iPod Touch started up like nothing had happened and I was able to do a restore in iTunes although it probably wasn't necessary but I decided to do one anyway. My iPod Touch has worked great since then.
Needless to say, I made a suggestion to Apple through their feedback link that they need to have either a spinning circle or progress bar at that Apple logo screen so people don't think that they're bricked.
I would try plugging your iPod Touch into a wall outlet adapter (USB may work but I didn't want it connected to the computer at all) or make sure you have a full battery then do a hard reset and wait a while, at least 30 minutes to an hour to see if it restarts itself then do a restore (optional) to be on the safe side. Hopefully that will work for you like it did for me.

Itunes has deleted all my songs from ipod

Hi, I recently tried to update my ipod which had 1,780 tunes on it. My itunes has a library of 2,500 tunes. When I tried to listen to my ipod later it transpired that I had only one tune on it. Itunes had deleted all my songs, my itrip entries, playlists, everything. I have Windows XP and a 4G 40GB ipod.

Sorry I've been offline for a while. I updated iTunes and the new songs were added in the new one. There was a dialogue box that came up saying something like "songs not saved to library you don't have authorization". I clicked on the box. Checked library and all songs are there but not on ipod. Have updated all ipod software too.
Just noticed that I have some songs in C drive and some on D. My main itunes is in D.

I have an Ipod touch 32 gb 2nd generation. I was listening to it and it got hot and will not charge or turn on or do anything. Can someone help?

I was listening to my 32GB ipod touch 2nd generation and it got real hot and quit working. i can not get it to do anything. I have let it rest for several months and I can not get it to do anything. Can anyone help?

Do you have Apple Care for it?
If not, you may want to walk it into the nearest Apple Store and ask for assistance there...
Good luck in any case.

Every time I plug my Ipod touch 4g in my computer to itunes, it deletes all of my apps on my ipod. How can I stop this? x

Hey Guys,
I got an Ipod touch 4g for Christmas and am having a few problems. Firstly, everytime I plug my ipod into my laptop onto itunes to put music onto it, all of my apps on my ipod get deleted and I can't go on them. Have you got any tips?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks xxx

It appears that you previous synced the iPod with another iTunes library/computer. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If yuy try to sync with another library the iPOd will be erased and its contents replaced with the contents in the iTunes library of the computer.

I was trying to synk my ipod touch to my laptop but it ended up deleting all of my songs how do i get them back? Please help.

I was trying to synk my ipod touch to my laptop but instead it deleted all of my music that was on my ipod. is there anyway i can get that music back?? please help.

Adam,
If these songs were only on your iPod Touch and not in your iTunes library or backed up anywhere else, them I'm afraid you are out of luck.
If they are iTunes purchases and you live in the US, see this Apple support document about redownloading them at no cost.

For music that was imported from outside of iTunes, you'll need to reimport those again.

Is your iPod synced with an iTunes library on your Mac or PC?
If so, is your iPad also synced to the same Mac/PC?
iTunes allows you to share music and videos between both your iPod and your iPad.

Delete content, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?

iPod deletes all music and videos, I synced it with iTunes, but after some time it deletes again.

To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

Can't get all purchased songs and videos to transfer to new ipod

I just had to trade in my year-old 80 GB Video ipod for a 'new' one due to battery failure. Erg. After syncing (sp?) my itunes library to the new device I noticed that not everything transferred and it still won't transfer when I try to do it individually. For example I have all 3 seasons of Lost and random episodes did not get transferred to the ipod. When I tried to transfer the missing tracks from my itunes library to the ipod IT WON'T LET ME!!! help.

AHA! I went into my ipod settings in my itunes account and just had to change the setting to 'transfer all episodes'. Duh. For some reason the default was set to 'all unwatched tv shows' which is weird b/c they've all been watched. A LOT! But hooray! It's fixed now

My ipod deleted all my movies and music

ok i was syncing my itouch and it came up with this message that it couldnt find the itouch so i unplugged it and hooked it back up. when i went to the summary page on itunes, it shows that all my songs and movies were deleted and was replaced with the orange section (other). now i have no room to put movies but only songs. do i have to restore my ipod to get my space back or do i have to just deal with it. also if i have to restore my ipod will i have to pay for it since my itouch is a 1st gen.

my problem is similar to this but my ipod touch was not hooked up to a computer, i did not sync it, it just randomly deleted all my music and videos. All my apps and pictures are still on it. When it is hooked up to itunes, the capacity bar full with my "music", but it lists it as other. This has happened once before, and i would really appreciate if this problem could be resolved.

Ipod updating and deleting all my songs

hi
i have a ipod 30gb video now i have had it for a while now 2 months or so it recently asked me if i wanted to update my ipod i said no since i heard it would delete all my songs so one day i plug in my ipod and it just updates it and deletes all my songs without asking me or anything has anyone else had this happen? I think a couple of thigns are wrong with this. First of all surely there is a way to update it without deleting all your music
itunes should ask you about the update and inform you that the update will delete all your songs
i know i probably should have kept a backup of my music but i didnt expect it to just delete all my music without asking i dont have much disk space i so deleted my music when i put it on my ipod so has anyone else had something like this happen?

Your post is a little confusing, assuming that you use the word "update" as in update the software and not update the songs.
Updating the iPod software does not delete the contents. The iPod software cannot be updated without you first running the iPod updater and clicking on "update". I does not do it itself.
How do you transfer songs from iTunes to the iPod? Automatically or manually?

Travel adapter for IPod touch 32 GB 3rd generation

Dear All,
I do have a brand new IPod touch 32 GB, 3rd generation. As I will be travelling to the US I need a travel adapter. The travel adapter offered by Apple is per description only compatible with the 1st and 2nd generation.
Are you experienced? Does the original equipment also fit to the 3rd generation?
Thanks for your help in advance

There was a time when my iPod earphones bonked out. The volume/remote control did not work and the same things that you all said happened (i.e.: voice control turns on and off by itself, songs shuffle on their own, the song turns chipmunky, etc.) but these stopped when I took out the earphones. I replaced them with a new pari and all these did not recur.
My guess is that when the speakers/earphones you use have a problem with the plug thingy (the one where you plug into the unit), this may cause these erratic behaviors. Try replacing the speakers/earphones and see what happens.
I have since brought my earphones to the shop since my unit was still under warranty, and they have replaced it with a new pair. It's working perfectly now.

Can I transfer music from one Ipod touch to a newer generation Ipod touch?

Can I transfer music from one IPod Touch to a newer generation IPod Touch?

- No directly. You have to first get the music in your itunes library on your computer and then sync the music to the new computer.
- You can/should restore you new iPod from the backup of your old iPod to get app date and other things on the new iPod. You will have to reenter passwords since passwords only get restore to the same device. The backup does not contain music so that has to be synced.
- You can transfer iTunes purchased from an iPod to your computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- The follow discussion discusses third-party programs to transfer non-iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
