Duplicate songs appeared on my iPod touch 5g IOS 7.1.2, after synced with a new windows laptop, some duplicates open, some dont.
Hi, i have an iPod touch 5g with IOS 7.1.2. .My iPod was synced to a previous laptop with my songs and i got a new laptop with the copied songs, i put them on iTunes 11 and synced it to my iPod and duplicates appeared in the music app on most of the songs. Some of the duplicates open and some turn grey when i play them. I have deleted all of the duplicates on iTunes, but they dont dissapear after i sync them. I cant delete the duplicates that appear grey, but i can delete the rest. Please help, i have no idea how to fix it.
Well, you could trade it in for a white one!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Ipod touch 2g bluetooth will not connect after syncing with iTunes
Had my ipod touch 2nd gen working with Bluetooth pairing to my Jambox and Boss DVD player and previously had worked with my AudioEngine Bluetooth device. Had a problem with musc files giving me an 1309 error message, was able to just select music manually without sync until this problem came up.
Had to initiate the auto Sync with iTunes which removed the error message for Music and since then my Bluetooth pairing has stopped. Have ver 4.21 and the Bluetooth shows the bluetooth mac address.
The Love is gone for this device. It will not pair up with devices that were working under bluetooth last week.
Anyone have any ideas?- On the iPod try resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to repair Bt defive s and rejoin wifi networks
- Reset the BT devices and repair. You have to see the BT device manual for how to reset them. -
My iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.
Have you seen and worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document?

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed with sync.
Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream. -
ill connect my itouch to my computer via usb port and it will begin to charge but it will not show up in "my computer" please help
The Nano uses different drivers than iOS devices like the iPod touch
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IOS 5: iPod Touch 4g says no Free memory After Sync
My iPod 4g, iOS 5, 8GB says After Sync no Free memory. Before the Sync there was 1gb Free Memory.... Even if i Delete Apps, the iPod says 0 Byte Free memory...
It was in the category "Other". Now i Have done a Hard reset(i think): i have pressed the Lock Button 5sec, then Lock and home Button 10 sec together. Then it Took a few minutes. In this minutes there was the Apple Logo , Like when the iPod Starts up. After that, everything was okay and i had again 1gb Free memory :)

IPod touch 4g will not back-up when syncing with iTunes
I was wondering why my iPod touch 4g will back-up when syncing in iTunes. I have tried rebooting the iPod and pc, but still no luck. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks if you can.
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

My iPod Touch is not charging and will not sync with itunes
My Ipod touch was feeling really hot and then all of a sudden the screen turned white and started flashing with my apps still open but faded and unaccessible. My screen was a blurry like it looks on tv when you lose connection. Then the ipod kept making the charging noise over and over again and wouldn't charge. It then turned off. Then it put itself on the needs to be charged symbol but it was flashing and then it stopped showing up. I have tried everything-youtube, dfu mode,( it wont even sync to itunes) and it still wont turn on after hours of charging. The screen has been black for hours now. I hope somebody can help me. Thanks.
Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset (both buttons) and connect to computer and try to restore. If screen is still white you very likely have a hardware problems.

How come my iPod touch AND my iPhone will no longer sync with my iTunes?
for some reason the past few days ive been trying to back up my iPod touch and my iPhone 4s on itunes and its not discovering it. ive done all the steps on the support page. ive reinstalled itunes, ive shut the computer off and rebooted. rebooted my phone and the ipod and still nothing. ive tried multiple usb ports that are on my laptop. ive went into computer management and its still not seeing anything. i know the cord is fine because its less than a week old and when i plug it in, the devices are charging. someone please help!
Did you do eveyrthing in the following:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Including removing and reinstalling all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above include a link for XP
Do you have another cable to try? The charging and data use different conductors/contacts so it may still charge with a bad cable. -
I have three children that use iPod Touches. They are all iOS5 capable. I upgraded the first one this morning and it synced with my iPhone profile on iCloud. It asked for the iTunes account information which is what I believe caused this. We use Mobile Me Family Pack and each of the children have a unique @me.com account. How do I fix this problem so that each iPod has it's own unique login so that iMessage will work? I don't really want to open them up to any further exposure on the Web though... . As it stands I am able "micromanage" their contact list via Mobile Me. Is there any way to make the iPods behave correctly and still maintain parental control as well as allow them to keep their unique profiles and contact lists???
...and for some reason, after upgrading my son's iPod Touch... his apps all disappeared from the device??? Strange, as this worked perfectly when I upgraded my iPhone yesterday.
PS. All my upgrades are current. iOS5 on iPhone 4, iTunes 10.5 on MBP.I spent about 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support... had to restore both devices! Arrrgggghhh!!! Thankfully the iPhone had a Backup from yesterday. The iPod wasn't too tough to get back up and running either... although we had to completely reload it as if it were new. Then we found out that Apple won't let the device login with my son's @me.com email because he's too young (10). Quick work-around for now until Apple fixes this was to lie about his age in the setup. I don't like the work around, but it worked.

Hello, I have a disabled iPod touch that was taken from me by a family member, but then retreived by me. Said family member had tried the passcode lock so many times they disabled my ipod. We recently threw out one of our laptops which was so old it crashed for good. This was the last compter it synced with. I know the password to my iPod, but am unable to unlock it because it is disabled, and my laptop is not the last that my iPod synced with. I do not wish for my iPod to be restored, because i have important notes in the iPod that are too important to delete. What shall I do?
If the iPod will be undisabled after the stated period of time you can wait that long. However, you may have to wait a long, long, long time. Otherwise wyou will have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. The screen lock is a good security feature.

My ipod and iphone 4s will not erase or sync with my new computer.
My phone was loaded from this computer when I got it replaced because the last one was defective. They will not load, unload, or anything. This is frustrating because before the most recent rounds of updates and "fixes," I never had problems and knew where everything was.
It is not a problem with my library being different, because I just moved the library over from my old computer to the new when I got it using my external hard drive and literally just took iTunes and the music, books, etc over at one time.
Edit: Checking or unchecking the manual management of the library, full sync, and/or partial sync has no effect either. When I work on trying to make them sync, the computer shows- under the "on this ipod" section- that there is nothing there, but the ipod/phone disagrees and still has everything.You can only sync with one computer. To switch syncing computers:

If all synced media like apps and music are already on the second computer then just backup the iPod to the second computer and restore from that backup

I tunes is putting 2/duplicate songs on to my Ipod touch
Why is I tunes is duplicating songs when synching on to my I pod touch?
Hey...
Just got help from Apple Care with this... It is a gliche with the software update.
1. Click on your iPod device in iTunes
2. From the iPod summary page, click the tab Music.
3. Uncheck Sync Music and hit apply at the bottom right corner
4. Once the iPod applies the change, go back and re-click Sync Music and apply.
Your iPod will manually resync all your music and elimate the duplicates on the iPod.
Hope this helps!
