HT1386 I restored my 4g iPod Touch, and now I'm unable to sync my music to it. Help?
Today I restored my iPod because I backed up my computer, and had to re-load it. When I went to sync my iPod so that I could get my music on it I pressed the apply button and then the iPod appeared to start to sync. Only come to find out that it didn't actually sync it. It didn't sync anything. I'm on the verge of desperation. I have an 8 hour car-ride ahead of me tomorrow, and I'm really not looking forward to doing it alone, without my music.
Is the music in your iTunes library?
Why can't you sync?
You said "Now the music states that it is on iCloud and can be accessed using WiFi or cellular."
where does it state that?
Just redownload them from iCloud to the computer and the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I couldn't sync my Ipod touch, and kept getting an error message. So, I did a restore. Now my touch is stuck on a screen showing a white usb cable and the ITunes logo, which I assume is telling me to connect my Ipod to the computer. But I did that (obviously) or I wouldn't have been able to do the restore in the first place! I tried starting over and held the power and home button until I got a message on ITunes that the device needed restoring - I went through the steps again and am right back at the same screen. Any ideas??
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter.
Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". This assumes you have a backup. If you do not, you will have to download all your purchased iTunes content again. You do not have to pay for anything you already purchased.
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help. -
I updated my daughter iPod touch. Now the music states that it is on iCloud and can be accessed using WiFi or cellular. I need to move the music back on the iPod so that she can listen to it without WiFi. I tried to Restore backup but still does not work. I tried to sync, still does not work.

A few days ago, my mom synced her ipod to her itunes and a bunch of the music files i have got synced to her ipod touch. How do i delete them. They show up on the ipod, but not in the manually added songs list. I have tried many things short of downloading ios 5. I open the ipod, clicked manually music and videos... click music... but i dont see the unwanted songs to delete. I see the songs she did want. Help please.
Message was edited by: gcmusicluver- If the iPod has iOS 5 then she swipe the song left or right and a tap the Delete button.
- If she does not then she will have to connect to computer and unsync them. -

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done? Thanks.
Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode and restore

I tried to update my ipod touch and now I lost everything- music and apps. My music is backed up on an external drive, but not my apps. How can I restore my apps (some were purchased, some were free)?
If you remember what they are, you can download them again (you will not be charged).
You might wish to sync everything in the future. It makes it a snap to recover when necessary. -
hi I recently dropped my ipod touch and now it wont connect to itunes. Everytime i plug it in, i get an error message saying that the usb device is not recognized
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have my iTunes on my PC and have an iPod Classic, I have just purchased an iPod touch and want to load all of my Itunes music onto it, how do I do this and not loose my library, I'm not very computer savvy.
You sync music the same way as on the Classic. What you sync to an iPod does not effect the iTunes library on your computer.

I have an ipod touch and now it doesnt sync properly. It gets to stage 1 of 3 of syncing( Which is 'backing up') Then it stops and itunes closes. Why wont this sync and what can I do about it?
Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?
If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free! -

but some of my music was no purchased from itunes so that will all be lost though right?
ALL of your music should be on your computer in itunes. Is it not?
How did it get on your ipod in the first place if not from your comptuer?
Everything on your ipod should be on your computer and you should be syncing regularly.
