How do I connect an IPod Touch (4th Generation) to media player to sync a music playlist?

How do I connect an IPod Touch (4th Generation) to Windows media player to sync a music playlist? It is not listed in the listing of compatible devices for Windows Media Player. And it does not recognize my IPod. It does recognize my IPod as a camera perhaps because it has pictures in it. Thank you!

No. You can only sync an iPod from media in your iTunes library.
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device> and follow the instructions.

Hi Daisymae3,
The iPod shuffle does not use Windows Media Player to sync, it uses Apple’s iTunes application, available for free from this web site -
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
See also the manual for your iPod shuffle -
User Manual iPod shuffle
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide .pdf
Specifically Chapter 3 - Setting up the iPod shuffle.
iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content
on iPod shuffle.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

How do I use my iPod Touch 4th Generation with air play with my Apple TV?

Can someone please help me. I need to find out if my iPod Touch 4th Generation can be used for Air Play with my Apple TV. When I go to photos I can use Air Play to display them. But I cannot use airplay for my apps like Facebook, and My games like The Sims. I am using iOS 6.0.1. Is that the issue if so, When you be updating the 4th Gen. Touch to be able to use it with the 6.0.2 version. I beleive Apple can do better with this. I just purchased my Apple TV yesterday, and I don't want to have to take it back already, because it doesn't work with my iPod 4th Gen.

Do the games and apps show the AIrPlay option? No all do.
The second article in my previous reply included:
From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality

When you backup an ipod touch 4th generation, Does it also back up the music

I have a ipod touch 4th generation and i have backed it up onto my brothers laptop about 1 week before i broke the plug for the screen on the motherboard, So now its getting repaired just need to get the parts for it to get it fixed. Since i have backed it up will it also backup my music and photos, im not worried about everything else just i dont want to find all the music all over again

The statement "(it's not actually part of the backup but will automatically be redownloaded from the iTunes store when you restore)." only applies if you restore from an iCloud backup. If yo restore from an iPod backup made by iTunes you have to manually redownload the music
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

For some reason everytime i connect my ipod touch 4th generation, a message comes up saying that my ipod could not be backed up because it was either corrupt or not compatible with my ipod, how do i fix this problem??

Everytime i connect my ipod touch to my laptop the message that either the backup was corrupt or not compatible with my ipod shows up. It was working before but idk why this is happening now!?

How do you connect an IPod touch 3rd generation to wifi using wifi protected setup?

Hi all.
I have an IPod Touch 3rd Generation using software 5.0.1 that I am trying to connect to my wifi. I just got a Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway router (model #DPC3825 if any of that matters). It's default setup is wifi protected setup which invovles the pushing the button on the router or entering a pin. I cannot find any pin on the router nor can I find anyway to enable something on the IPod for the push button. Any advice on how to get this connected? Is there an app I have to download or a setting I need to change?
Thanks

I have that same model modem. Here is the user guide for that modem as mentioned by lllaasss above.

How do I connect an iPod Touch 4th gen to home wireless?

I consider myself fairly competent with computers but for the life of me, I can't connect my daughter's new iPod Touch to our home wireless. Her brother's iPod connects just fine. I even tried resetting the network settings, unplugged/replugged our home wireless, entered the IP address and such, nothing works. Last week, it connected fine to a hotel wireless system but won't connect here at home. Suggestions or recommendations?

How do you unlock your ipod touch 4th generation, when i forgot my passcode to it?

I'm not sure how to unlock my ipod.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
