  • I can't sync music onto my iPod touch after restoring

    I have just restored and updated my iPod touch and now my music won't sync onto it. The music is still in my iTunes library and the "Sync music" box is ticked but the music will not sync onto my iPod.
    My apps are no longer in my iTunes library to sync onto my iPod. My photos are still on the device and the wifi settings are still the same.
    I have tried restoring and syncing my iPod touch again a few times and I get error message -54.
    Please help me :-(

    I can't find an iTunes error -54 anywhere, even from Google.
    I would try:
    Placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restoring. The iPod will be erased by recovery mode.
    Place in DFU mode and then restore.

How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
    Respond please!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I am trying to delete some aps, but the delete "X" does not come up when the ap is pressed.  Anyone know how I can fix?.

    Hi, I am trying to delete some aps, but the delete "x" does not come up when the ap is pressed.  Anyone know how to fix.  Also, my ipod is turning off on its own and won't power back on unless I plug it in although it is fully charged.

    For the apps:
    - You can't delete the apps that came with the iPod
    - Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if there is the Restrictions set that prevents deleting apps

  • When initiating an e mail to someone with several addresses used in the past the one I use most often does not come up in the first position.  How can I get these multiple e mails prioritized?

    When initiating an e mail to someone with several addresses used in the past the one I use most often does not come up in the first position.  How can I get these multiple e mails prioritized?

    We are talking about the Mail app, right? In the Mail menubar, click on Window and then Previous Recipients:
    That eliminates the previous recipients. If you are talking about the suggestions because there are 10 people with the name 'Steve' in your Contacts, then I do not know how to eliminate those unless you change the name slightly or wait until you type the last name or some other differentiator.

  • I have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    i have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

  • HT4796 Can I copy musics from my ipod shuffle to my iTunes?

    I have musics in my ipod shuffle which had been played for many years. The copy in my iTunes of old PC had been lost.
    Is it possible to copy all these musics from ipod shuffle to my new iTunes in new PC?

    iPods (except iPod touch which is really an iPhone minus the phone) only sync with your computer running iTunes.  So it needs to go through the computer.
    Since you loaded the iPod from your computer's iTunes library, you can just load the same songs from your iTunes library to the iPad.

  • When I drag music onto my ipod I get: "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." Solution?

    When I drag a song/album/playlist onto my ipod I get the message "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)."
    I then restored my ipod and synced it to the backup. The error came again, and I did the same. 3 times.
    After that, thinking there may be something bad on the ipod or whatever, I restored it again. This time i DIDN'T sync it to the back-up. It was retuned to factory settings.
    But, hey, here I am now, with the same problem.
    If anyone has any suggestions? Please.
    Details:
    16GB ipod touch 2nd generation
         -currently 8.8GB of music
         -currently .01GB of apps
         -currently .22GB of other
    Software Version: 4.2.1 (up to date, according to itunes)
    Set to "manually manage music and videos"
    iTunes 10.5.3 (current version)

    Type "13019" into the search bar at the top of this page by "Support" and read the resulting help articles.

  • Can i put music on my ipod with out the computer?

    ???

    IF you are using an iPod which can oly play music (e.g. iPod Nano/iPod Classic) you won't be able to access the iTunes Store, so no; you won't be able to purchase music on it.
    IF however the device in question is an iPod Touch, you can simply use the iTunes built in app to browse and buy from the iTunes store.
    Hope this helped!

  • Iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes, will not sync, charge indicator icon does not come on when hooked to usb charger

    When I hook my iphone 4 up to itunes, it does not show up on the left. It will not sync, and the lightning bolt charging indicator on the phone does not come on although it appears to be charging over time because the battery level has increasd.
    I am running Mac OS X, up to date as is my iTunes. I tried the steps from the website troubleshooting guide and nothing worked.

    Additionally, charging through other devices such as my car charger has the same symptoms.

  • Why can't I sync music onto my iPod?

    I have the 3rd Generation iPod Nano. I've had it for a little over a year, so I'm very familar with how to work it, etc. I've been trying to days now, to add more music to my iPod, but, for some reason, I'm unable to. I'll connect my iPod through the USB Port and my iPod screen will stay stuck on, "Connected. Eject before disconnecting." I've gone under "File" to see if I can click on, "Sync *My name*'s iPod", but that option isn't given. I'll click on "My Devices", and I'll click on "Sync", but it won't sync. I've gone onto the Apple website and I've tried the "5 Steps of Troubleshooting" numerous times, and nothing's working. I have no idea what's wrong with it. What could be wrong with it?
    Just as an F.Y.I., my iPod's warranty ended ten days ago as of today. My sister also uses this laptop to sync her iPod Touch.

    Sure you don't have the iPod set to manage the music manually?
    You can check by going to the 'summary' page and you will see the option to:
    "manually manage music". Is that selected?
    If you want to auto sync your music etc, you need to click on the 'music' tab, where you will see the option to:
    "sync music" with either "all songs and playlists" or "selected playlists".

  • How can i get all of the new music I loaded into iTunes onto my iPod without deleting the content that is already on it?

    I just loaded a bunch of music from my CD library into iTunes in the hopes of loading it onto my iPod. The problem is now I can't figure out how to do it. Two issues... First it says that if I synch it will delete what is already on my iPod which I absolutely do not want. Second, is there a way to load each of the albums without having to create a play list?
    Ugh... Always a frustrating experience trying to deal with iTunes.

    You can only sync your device to one iTunes library at a time. You can either copy the music from the library on your other computer to the one you have loaded the new CDs onto, or you can purchase an external CD Drive and load them to the iTunes library you are currently sync'd with:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://store.apple.com/us/search/External-CD-DVD---SuperDrive
    For syncing, I am not familiar with the drag and drop method. I have always used the normal sync process:
    iTunes 12 for Mac: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad

  • My itunes wont let me sync music onto my ipod touch, even though i have a ton of music on my touch already

    My itunes is currently empty with no music in the library when i try and add music by dragging and dropping. (which used to work) i try and sync but it dont copy onto my touch. Any ideas?
    I have tried restoring the ipod and also re-downloading itunes.

    You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

  • I can't sync music to my Ipod

    I got a new laptop recently and I got ITunes on it and saw all the music I bought was still in the library I was planning to buy more but when I tried to sync my ipod nano 6th generation it said something about transferring my music on my ipod to my iTunes library I clicked yes then some error about one of my songs not being able to do that popped up and I clicked okay and then all my music on my ipod just disappeared I kept pressing sync but it won't work. It saids my ipod synced but no music will go on my ipod. I thought restoring my ipod to it's original factory setting would work but it didn't. I looked up troubleshooting but I can't transfer any music to ITunes since my iTunes on my last computer is no longer there due to a virus and we cleaned the computer losing iTunes in the process and my ipod is musicless. The only option I can think of is deleting everything and starting over but I that would mean losing over 500 songs I was hoping someone on here might have an idea of what to do. Also the music is still on my library it just won't sync to my ipod.

    I have just received a new ipod shuffle as a gift and I too am getting the same error message 'The ipod can not be synced. The required disk can not be found'. I have tried to reset the ipod and got an error message 'The ipod cannot be reset. Unknown error 1418'. I tried phoning the help centre and they are closed! I have the newest version of itunes & I have updated my windows settings. What else can I do?! Any suggestions gratefully received! If I can get through to the help desk tomorrow by phone (hopefully they'll be there on a Monday!) I shall post their advice here if it works.
