I'm having problems transfering audiobooks to my iPod touch 5th Gen with the latest software upgrade. It combines 2 books under the same title giving me multiple chapters within the single title.
When I transfer audiobooks to my touch, I sometimes get a new book transferred that shows up correctly in iTunes but when I open music on the iPod, I have a single book title with both volumes under it. I end up with 2 Chapters 1, 2 Chapters 2, etc. Anyone else have this problem?
Well, I decided to try working at it from the Windows side because I was getting absolutely nowhere using iTunes in OS X. Strangely enough it just worked like it's supposed to this time when I loaded up iTunes in Vista. (I tried before in Vista, with the same problem occurring).
No idea why it worked... I hadn't even authorized iTunes in Vista to play tracks registered to my iTMS account.
If anyone can offer any help from the Mac side, it would be much appreciated. I only have a few specific reasons for using Vista... would prefer if I could avoid restarting into it just to change a few things on my iPod.

Major problems with transferring songs to new iPod touch 5th gen
Hi, I'm in need of help.
I just bought a new iPod touch 5th generation today and I naturally wanted to transfer some songs to it today via iTunes. I have an old MacBook aluminium with os x 10.5.8 and I have not been able to update any of my programs lately due to the fact that my os does not support them. When I plugged in my iPod to my computer, iTunes immediately opened and said that I had to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes because my iPod is not compatible with the current version. I tried doing so but failed since my os is not compatible with the new program. This is obviously just a vicious circle, since as I said, I have to buy the latest os x to update any of my programs. And since my computer is 5 years old I do not feel the need to do that, because I will soon buy a new one (in about a year).
So now I really need help. How do I transfer music to my iPod without using iTunes? I've tried googling it and I've downloaded a bunch of programs but they are just 30 day trials and that won't work for me since I update my iPod daily. I've also tried putting music on dropbox but my iPod won't download music files from there, and sending music through Bluetooth won't work either. For a moment I though iCloud might work but I don't have that on my computer nor can I download it. Right now the situation seems hopeless, is the only way of solving this by upgrading my old computer or wait until I buy a new one? I feel like there must be some sort of way, but I can't come up with anything else.
Please help me, thank youI know of no way except to upgrade the computer/purchases newer computer that will handle iTunes 10.7 or later.
If you have a Power PC processor (vice an Intel processor) you need a Mac with an Intel processor.If you computer has an Intel processor just purchase the Snow Leopard upgrade disk About $30 -
Problems after iOS 7.1.2 on Ipod Touch 5th Gen
At about 3 hours ago my Ipod Touch 5th Gen turned off on me. It came back on itself, so I accessed the lock screen correctly put my password in and thats where my problems started.
I put in the correct password it accepted it.
The screen then changed to my background screen colour.
Very quickly the screen went black and the apple logo came on (as if it was turning on)
I repeated the process again and I can not access my home screen or any of the apps. It repeats itself.
I've had all my apps crash on me ever since I downloaded the iOS 7.1.2 update.
On the lock screen I can still access the flash light and both cameras?
What I have tried:
Turning it on and off.
Charging it.
Plugging it into iTunes.
Reset where I hold the lock and home button.
Nothing works.
Its a 32gb Ipod touch 5th gen with about 6gb of storaged unused.
I haven't dropped it or done anything unusual.
At the time it crashed I was playing on Farmville 2 app. This app crashes alot could it have something to do with it?
Please someone help me, I've googled it and can't find any problem like mine on here!
I've only had it 7 months.
Thanks,
NadiaThen do this:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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 the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -

Brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64gb problems with first power on
I have just received a brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64 gb from amazon. After reading the instructions i tried to power it on but nothing happened.
It was suggested on here to try the recovery start but again, nothing happened.
I then plugged the device in to a wall socket charger to see if the battery is flat,but the apple logo comes on for about 15 seconds then goes off again. If I hold down the home button while the apple logo is off, after a while the ipod goes into recovery start up, but as soon as i unplug it from the wall socket adaptor it turns off.
It will not do anything plugged into the usb soccket of my laptop.
Any ideas or will I have to return this to amazon?Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

IPod touch 5th gen jack problem
Hello,
So here's the problem. I have a 32gb iPod touch 5th gen and it's working fine until I plugged it into a portable speaker. (THe ones used in PC) The sound that came out had a static background. Now, every time I plug Apple's default earphones into the jack, the sound that comes out is too loud. Adjusting the volume doesn't help. It's as if the earphone had turned into a speaker. What's worse, there's still the static background. It's like tuning on an FM station with really bad reception.
I've done the ff, and nothing worked so far:
1. Reboot
2. Reset settings
3. Tried 3 different pairs of earphones.
What should I do. I would also like to add that I can play the music through the iPod's built in speakers without any problems. It's just the jack.- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

I might need to get back to you on the first Q, (you mean iOS?)
No. I can only see that there's an ipod in Devices in the Control Panel

Itunes sees it, yes.
yes, it charges.)
(I might have to get back to you on this later....maybe in a week? If that would be possible for you....I'm going to Florida. I'm really sorry, you caught me right as I was about leave. I just figured I check to see if anyone replied really fast. Thank you so much for your help though! -^w^-) -
Problem after updating to iOS 8.1 on my iPod touch 5th gen
I just want to report to Apple that after updating my iPod Touch 5th Generation to iOS 8.1, my iPod just shuts down by itself from time to time. The only way you can turn it on is by pressing the top right button and the home button at the same time. You can't turn it back on anymore by just pressing the top right button or by charging it like I used to. Is this one of the bugs that Apple needs to fix? Am I the only one who have this problem??

TS1363 Help with Problem encountered with iPod Touch 5th gen After performing Sync.
Hello Friends.
My name is Joaquin. I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem I have encountered with my iPod Touch 5th generation running under OS 7.0.4.
After performing a Sync, a lot of the song in my iPod showed a red icon beside the song. It is the same Circle with a square in the center icon that shows the download progress status that you see when updateing APPs, etc.
The songs play perfectly in my computer library and in an old iPod Classic but not in the iPod Touch. The only difference was that when I connected the iPod I got a message stating something like "Transfer purchases from iPod touch to computer" despite of the fact that I did not make purchases from my IPod.
I will really appreciate the help. I can´t survive without my music. Thank you in advance.

HT201210 im always having problems trying to update my ipod touch why

The ipod will show flashing white lines across the screen, going down, it then does somthing where the screen will dim down but its not like when the backlight goes on and its about to lock. It dims the background of your ipod and the icons and letters kind of all look defined. Then the ipod gets all pixelized and it has big boxes on pixels and its all differnt colors like purples and greens, red, etc. then it turns right off and restarts itself less than 5 seconds later. These things happen really fast but when it does it's really weird. It first happened 3 times in a row, Its still continuing to happen but i can manually turn off my ipod by holding the lock button down and not even 30 seconds later it's like its possessed and it turns on by itself. I talked to somone on appel and they told me to back it up and restore it. I restored it and as soon as the process ended and tuirned on like a brand new ipod and like clockwork the glitch happened instantly. It did it a couple of times throughout the night and i kept having to watch it so i can keep turning it off manually because it continues to turn on by itself. I talked to 3 different people on Apple Support and they couldnt even find an answer for me. It's so weird.

Many iPod Touch (5th Gen) problems
So, my iPod as of late has been acting horribly, I want to know know if I need to take it in to Apple. Its a 64GB, its only about a year old. I dunno if it was caused by update but I'm on the latest update, I don't know what the number is.
So, as of recent, I've restored the OS at least 5 times with in the last couple weeks, I had about 35GBs of music on it, I spend so much time keeping my music collect fresh, adding artwork and lyrics for all like 30,000 songs. But either way, first problem that happened was the sync... It took literally 30 minutes to sync 40MB of music. After it was added, all my music was deleted except for the music I just added. I manage my iPod manually, always have always will. So I know that is no the issue, as of the last two restores I did, my internal speaker is making a LOUD horrible screeching noise, no matter what audio is coming out it it. I've always had it in a protection case and never dropped it from too high of a place, biggest fall was maybe three feet but that is only an estimate. And now as I am typing this, I'm trying to delete music off of it, in iTunes it says that it is gone, but when I go to music on the actual iPod, they are all still there. I hit sync many times and nothing is changing, I don't own a second cord so I can't test if that might be the problem. But that doesn't solve what seems to be my biggest grip which is why is sync taking so **** long? Why does it keep deleting my music? I never use wifi sync and I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to computers and apple product, please help me, and let me know, will they do anything for me if it is faulty hardware. Thank you.For speaker problem:
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.

Have you restored to factory settings/new iPod and not from backup? -
Brand new iPod 5 and periodically will pick up our home Wifi, but when it loses it, it's impossible to reset. Says "incorrect password" and it is the correct password. No issue at all with Android devices or anything else on Wifi. Only the iPod and an iPhone 4. My iPhone 6 had the same issue, but I was able to correct it by resetting the network. This "fix" doesn't work on the iPod or old iPhone. Just keeps saying "incorrect password" no matter what you do. Connection has been reset, passwords have been changed... Nothing fixes it. And both are operating on the latest iOS update. I just updated it. Still doesn't work. How crazy.
