Browsing Albums on 5th Gen Touch

I just got a 5th generation touch. I had a 2nd generation touch so I'm familiar with the touch. When I browse through my music, under Artists or Songs I see an alphabetical list and that's great. But when I look under Albums right now it goes to the first album I added to this iPod. I can't figure out how to get the alphabetical list. There's an option to search but why isn't there a list? I really prefer to listen to music by album and would like to be able to just see the titles and not have to search.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?

My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.

I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
Thank you!

Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
My other PC was:
Windows 7 Ultimate
My MacBook is:
Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

5th gen touch ios7, i`ve got no itunes U

I updated my 5th gen touch, to ios7, I can no longer access iTunes U, anyone else have this problem? or a fix.
I can see the files are still there from iTunes interface on the iMac, I just cant get to them to play them from the ipod.

ok, I figured it out, I tried to sync itunes U and i got a popup telling me i had to install an app for iTunesU, iBooks and another for Podcast. Once i did that it worked, I can copy over podacsts and lectures. Everything I had on there before is gone though.
You would think this would have been automatically taken care of in the upgrade, but I guess not.

My iPod 5th gen touch won't turn on after running out of battery and then being charged for several hours

I was using my ipod touch 5th gen, when it ran out of battery. I wasn't able to charge it all night because the lighting adapter plug broke, and so this battery sign and the lighting charger sign kept popping up telling me to charge it. It ran like that all night and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a few different computers to charge it, and after several hours it still won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my computer with iTunes up, but it still would not charge and my computer would not recognize that it was there. Anyone want to give me some tips?
Thanks

Not Charge

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

What do I need to know about transfering a 4th gen touch to a new 5th gen touch?

My daughter will be getting a new 5th generation touch today. She has a 4th generation touch now. What do I need to know about transfering informaiton from one device to the other?

Shuffle never plays some albums (nano 5th gen)

I have a couple of albums on my ipod that when they are in a playlist, and the playlist is shuffled, the nano never plays these albums. If I skip through all the songs, it never shows any songs from these two albums, and gets to the end of the playlist without playing any of them.
If I play not in shuffle mode it plays the playlist no problem.
This problem is the same whether i choose shuffle playlist, or set the playlist playing and then turn on shuffle.
I've tried resetting the settings on the ipod which has made no difference.
The albums were ripped using itunes from CDs I own, but so are many of the other albums that there are no issues with.
Any ideas?!

Found the solution - forgot that there was a setting that could be used to exclude some tracks or albums from shuffle, and that I'd applied it to these albums as they're Christmas music and I didn't want to hear them on shuffle most of the year!
Details of this setting here:

New 5th gen touch stuck in Recovery loop at set up

I just got a new Touch and have been in the process of trying to get it set up with iTunes. I started out doing a restore from back up, but now I'm stuck in a loop where I get a message that "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." When I restore, it spends an hour downloading iPod software and then I get this same message again. (It will apparently do this ad infinitum.) I do have the most current version of iTunes installed. I've tried turning the iPod on and off, disconnecting and reconnecting it, and resetting it. I've tried different USB ports. I've rebooted the computer. Nothing changes.
Any ideas for what else to try? Thanks!

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.

5th gen touch downloads audiobooks but when i try to play, the screen "bounces back" and I can't. Help me please!

This just started happening. I have no idea why. The ipod is new. The audio book downloaded in itunes fine. It shows up on my ipod. I touch the screen and pic of the book and the screen scrolls to the "play screen" and then bounces back so I cant play it.

Turned "Sort by Album Artist" off on iPod Touch 5th Gen so individual artists on compilation albums will show up separately under "Artists" with no succuss. This worked perfectly on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen. Any Advice?

I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch. It is running the latest iOS, and iTunes has the latest update. I have many compilation albums that I imported from CD. I want the individual artists and their associated song(s) to show up under "Artists." I have turned off "Sort by Album Artist" in Settings. This worked perfectly on my 4th Gen Touch. Each artist from a compilation would show up under "Artists" with the correct song(s) showing, while still showing the whole compilation under "Albums." Now, on my 5th Gen Touch, when I try to look at an artist from a compilation under "Artists," I get one of the following: the correct artist and song, an incorrect artist and song, or an incorrect artist with the entire compilation album showing up. Is this a bug in the new iOS 7, or am I doing something wrong? Anyone else with this problem? Any advice?

I have the same problem and I have been really trying hard to find a solution. No success.
My main problem is this: For example: Top Gun soundtrack - I look at Kenny Loggins under artists and I see his albums and songs, plus the 2 songs from top gun. Then when I look at Miami Sound Machine (also on top gun cd) under artist, I see correct albums from Miami sound machine, but under the top gun soundtrack, it shows the 2 kenny loggins songs instead. then if I look at another artist from top gun cd, it continues to show the kenny loggins songs. It doesn't matter which songs i look at, but the first one i start with will always show up on the others. Funny thing is, if I click on the song, the correct song plays, it just says it is the kenny loggins song!!! ha ha. Been dealing with this for over a year now. Pretty aggravating. Happens whether I have compilations checked or unchecked on settings. I have over 50 compilation albums and some are checked, some aren't...they all behave this way.
On Mac, itunes (v 12) it all shows up correctly and works fine. I have become an expert on ID tags and am very thorough with my tagging. HAND TAGGING, not some program that does it for you...they are never correct. I match all my tag info with the info in the iTunes store for each album so it is sure to match. Has taken a long, long, long time.
Love iTunes match, but this one issue is a real pain. Anyone with any ideas, I'd love to hear them! Thanks!

How do I use ipod touch 5th gen w/my chrysler 300C rer radio/nav system

I have a 2010 chrysler 300C with a (rer) radio/navigation system. I tried to use my apple ipod touch generation 5 via bluetooth and an Apple USB cable and it will charge with the cable, but no music from Ipod. aux button stays dim with both attempts. Another site said a seperate device may be needed, but before I spend $90 plus install, I thought I'd check here first.

Problem solved. After removing all the junk from my glovebox looking for port for my ipod to plug into, i found a cable(bought the car used). the port is a 30 pin connector at the top of glovebox, next to the latch. My ipod is a 5th gen touch with a lightning plug. Must use a Apple converter, a generic wont completely seat. Now I have to buy another converter for my docking station, but dont mind since ipod now works.

How do I transfer contacts from iPod touch 2nd gen to iPod touch 5th gen

I just got a new iPod touch (5th gen) and can't figure out how to transfer the contacts from my old iPod touch (2nd gen). I was able to sync my contacts in the 2nd gen iPod touch with my Google account when it was connected to iTunes, but I don't see that option now with the 5th gen touch. It only looks like it can sync to iCloud.

IPod Touch 5th Gen?

Has anyone successfully used Jabber Voice on an iPod Touch 5th gen?
I see that it's not on the list of officially supported devices, but the iPhone 4S is listed and I was under the impression that the 5th Gen Touch was basically the same hardware without the Cell Radio.

Hi,
iPod Touch 5th Gen is a supported device.
Cisco Jabber for iPhone Release 9.5 is supported on the latest version of Apple iOS 6.1 or iOS 7 running on an Apple iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5c, or 5s or an Apple iPod Touch fifth generation.

5th gen shock while charging

My 5th gen Touch has a problem with the casing becoming live. It's not enough to be painful, but a slight "fizzing" can be felt. I'm using the supplied charger and lightening cable.
Is it a common problem to the cable or iPod?
Is this going to deteriorate until it is dangerous?
Is it a fire risk (for convenience I charge overnight)?

Hey Toad, your description sound like a grounding issue, a short. There is a history with lighting cables failing, shorting out. Stop using the cable you have, try another cable. If the shocking continues with a new cable, have your iPod evaluated by Apple. Good luck, Cheers.
