4th gen wont play my music not bought in I tunes

All songs purchased though I tunes play OK but my own music from my laptop wont play. It plays from I Tunes library, I have tried all the suggestions on other forums.Please help

Can you try to use another computer? Did you check if Apple Mobile Device Service is active? iPhone and iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows XP and Vista

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

    My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

    I have same issue with iPad3.  all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes.  maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
    mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn.  I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
    I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
    I have restarted.
    I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back!  iCloud restore was perfect.  I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
    please advise.
    thanks,
    phil

  • Help,! iTunes wont let me play the music I bought at the the iTunes store!!

    When I try play the music I bought at the iTunes store, iTunes first asumes my computer is not authorized to play it. I add my password to authorize, the authorization is successful, then I get this error:
    "we could not complete your itunes request. An unknown error (-208) there was an error in the music store"
    All I have done is added an external harddrive to my machine, there was simply no more room on my C: drive for MP3's. I changed the location of where purchased music goes to this new drive.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...
    thanks seratone

    Is this a problem that happened over night, or you don't know because you only started to buy and watch movies now?
    Can you check to make sure iTunes and everything else is all up to date? If that still fails, lets make a new USER Account, and see if things run proper through there.

  • I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV.  Is this a design flaw?  Or is it me?  My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and is in recovery mode.

    my ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and it is in recovery mode but when it says preparing to restore it on itunes when i plug it up then the ipod disconnects from the computer and just shuts off again help me please. when it does act like its going to charge it doesnt charge and just brings up the "connect to itunes" thing.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes

    Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes tried to check usb driver but computer says it is working properly

    Just disconnecting it without ejecting should not cause permanent damage.  It may cause data corruption, if iTunes was in the process of syncing at the time.  But iTunes should still see the shuffle and (maybe) tell you to Restore it.
    Is it possible that the "accident" damaged the USB cable? 
    Make sure you have done this on the shuffle since the problem occurred
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    And you should also shut down (power off) the computer, if you have not already.
    Have you tried more than one USB port on the computer (not a hub if you use one)?  You can also try it with all other USB devices disconnected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).
    If those things do not help, what version of Windows do you use?

  • TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle is either not working or dead...

    My 4th gen ipod shuffle is either not working or dead, i have opened it and found that its black near audio pin is injected and its heating while connecting via usb to laptop neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed help any one...............................
    i think its kind of short circuited is any thing workable in this device or not........

    I solved my problem by restoring the shuffle to factory settings on the summary screen. Now it seems to work the way it's supposed to. Many thanks to Apple for zero help, as usual. Apple should direct less resources to developing the next snazzy ipad and more to cleaning up and enhancing itunes. I'll make the same editorial comment about the iphone 4 voicemail options.

  • I just tried to jailbreak my ipod touch 4g and now it wont play any music? how do i fix this?

    I just tried to jailbreak my ipod and it wouldnt work so i just ended the whole thing and it erased all my photos and it wont play any music. How do i fix this?

    The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

  • My iPod touch 4th gen is shutting down and not playing music?

    so here is the story:
    lately my iPod touch 4th gen will become frozen, or slow whenever i am using it. However within the last 2 weeks it has shut itself down completely (even though there was always more than half charge) 3 times and won't allow me to turn it on for about 2-3 days. It also will not play music anymore, and instead is either silent or sounds of static. I am just wondering if there is anyway I can fix it or if I need to buy a new iPod.

    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.
    - 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:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
