Hi msclaude,
Welcome to the Support Communities! I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
I hope this information helps ....

HT5637 My Ipod Touch 4 with IOS 6.1.5 (new to me) is not associating all my albums with the artists. All the music is there, it's just not in the right place. Can you help an Apple novice?

I'm new to this so please forgive me if I'm not using the correct terms. My ITunes version is 11.1.3.8. For years I had an IPod Classic and it worked perfectly with all my music where I wanted it. Unfortunately, it was recently stolen. I bought a used/wiped clean 64GB IPod Touch 4 loaded with iOS 6.1.5. I've tried to load my music twice and both times I'm getting the same odd results While everything is properly associated in ITunes once I load and sync the IPod Touch there are several albums that are not associated with the Artist. I'll explain further. I prefer to sort my ITunes library and IPod by Artist. So when I pull up some (not all) Artists on my IPod Touch some Albums that should be there are missing. I say they are missing, they are there. The total song count on ITunes matches that on the IPod Touch and if I sort by Album name, I can find the album that does not appear when I sort by Artist. The reason I want to fix this issue is I appreciate a wide variety of music and I can envision me looking for an artist and not finding them and not being able to remember the name of the album. The Rolling Stones are easy and I know how many albums they have an how many I have. Smaller groups that may have only one album are more problematic. Unless I randomly come accross the song I might never be able to find it or listen to it. I know lots of people have more music than I do so I'm not bragging, but my library has 414 different artists spread across 1402 albums and I can't always remember what I own. Speaking of owning, I own the physical CDs for the vast majority of my music so I don't think it's a situation of previously ripped music not showing up or not being formatted correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey there jcgoutcher!
I believe your iPod may be set to group albums by album artist, which is a setting that can be turned off in your music settings. I will provide a link below that can help illustrate where to find this setting:
Music settings - iPhone

While the article in the link above is written for the iPhone, the setting will be found in the same place on your iPod touch. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Ipod Touch Charged, Not Turning On, Nothing Happens When Put on Charger

I hope someone can help me. I returned from a run today and my ipod shut itself off. I've checked for the red dot at the base of the head phone plug, but it is still silver. I've attached the ipod to a charger and then to my computer using the USB cable. It is completely unresponsive. I've tried resetting the device, but nothing happens. Is anyone familiar with this problem? It doesn't strike me as being a quick fix. I very much appreciate your insights.

I had the samething happen to mine today. Guessing it either needs a new battery or the connection port for the charging cord is broke. I've been looking through the apple site all day for the answer, with no luck. Guessing I'm going to have to send it away to be repaired or have the battery changed.

Try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then try syncing your iPod.

I can't get my ipod touch to sync to itunes in my new computer

I've recently purchased a new computer, and installed itunes onto it. I've plugged in my ipod touch and itunes does not respond to it at all. no sync options, or anything. please help.

Before you do sync, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. Otherwise on the initial sync it WILL wipe the content of the iPod and replace it with the blank library from the new computer.

Home screen is completely frozen on my Apple TV. I tried to reset and the light blinks but nothing happens after that. Any suggestions?

I tried to reset and the light blinks but nothing happens after that. It won't allow me to move the cursor on the home screen. Any suggestions?

Unplug the device from power and plug it back in.
If it still fails to respond properly, connect it to a computer via microUSB and restore via iTunes.

I paid for lion because my 2006 mac pro will not run anything newer (arbitrary decision by apple). Downloaded it, but nothing happened. App Store now says i've already downloaded it, so I can't try again. App store also says lion isn't available in usa.

I found out that an 06 mac pro cannot be updated to anything more recent than lion. They guys at the local shop told me this after they tried to update it for me so I could run logic pro 9 in 64 bit mode. I bought lion. Waited two days for the emails. Spent hours following the instructions which sounded so simple until you try them. Finally I found the "redeem" button that was hidden because the size of my safari window was too small to show it and there was no bar at the bottom to scroll over. Without googling "how do you find the app store" and "how do you find quick links" I never would have figured it out. I only mention this so that others may learn from my mistakes. Finally I downloaded lion, supposedly, but nothing happened. There is no indication that anything downloaded, other than the fact that when I try to download it again, it says it's already been downloaded. I spent four hundred bucks at the shop updating, plus whatever they charged me for lion, and I've still got snow leopard and logic pro running at 32 bits. I'm pretty sure nobody can help me, but could you please arrange for the return of my time?

You can go to "Purchases" tab and check again.
If OS X Lion is still not downloading, try at a different network environment.
By the way, Mac Pro (2006) with a newer graphics card runs Mavericks perfectly with modifications in the installer.
It's not allowed to be discussed here, but you can simply google how to do it.

My ipad went blank last night for no apparent reason. It was on one minute, and then completely dark. I didn't touch it, it just seemed to have died. I tried turning it back on/off, but nothing happens. Anyone else have a similar situation?

Thansk for the reply King_Penguin...let me elaborate and see what you think...I had the ipad2 in the office and saw the battery was getting really low. I tried charging it with the iphone charger (connects to my pc at work). It took a while, but it got enough juice in the ipad2 to bring it back to life. when I got home, I hooked it up, and got to about 50%. All was fine, then I was attempting to hook it up to my TV with the AV adapter (or VGA adapter, whatever it is), left the ipad alone for a minute, came back to it, and that's when it went dark. I tried the home/sleep buttons, but only for about 5 seconds...any other suggestions in case that doesn't work? Thanks again...

You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod.

HT204406 I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine). It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens-how do I get it to download on my computer

I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine). It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download (purchase is no longer a given option) ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens…how do I get it to download on my computer ?

If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

How much free storage space is available on your iPod Touch?
When restoring your iPod Touch with iTunes, did you restore from the backup for the iPod Touch or as a new iPod Touch?
If the former and the problem lies with the data included with the backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem putting you right back where you started.
