I restored my ipod and songs wont go back onto it.

Ive always had difficulty with my ipod, but recently things have gotten worse. My ipod refused to sync to my itunes, so i finally gave in and restored it. i plugged it into a power source like it told me to, and then plugged it back into the computer to put my library back on it. However, it only put on the artists from A-G and nothing more. I restored and reset it several times again and it still wont go farther than to the G's. Also, the songs that made it onto the ipod wont even play. What do I do? I also do not have my music backed up and im terrified of losing it all. Someone PLEASE help me! Thanks.

never mind i got it thanks for your time

If the ipod will not reset by holding down the center button and the menu button at the same time untill you see an apple logo. It can take up to 30 sec.
Then, let the ipod battery compleately drain then connect to the computer to recharge. This will force the ipod to reset itself.

I have two apple ID's on my laptop, one is mine and one is my roommate, I recently restored my iPod and now when I try to sync to iTunes it says sync will complete ones a song is available, what do I do?

Try syncing songs one at a time to see if there is a problem song(s).
Do the songs play in iTunes on the computer?

I had to restore my iPod and now none of the songs want to play.

I had to restore my iPod and now none of the songs want to play. I press play, it goes to the song screen, then around 5 seconds pass without the song starting and then it skips to the next song where the same thing happens. And that just keeps happening over and over and over again. Also when I plug in the iPod, the pinwheel shows up on iTunes for a while and then the 13010 error message pops up but the iPod still shows up in iTunes. I'm so lost. Please help!

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.

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.
And if necessary
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
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

TS3694 I am trying to restore my ipod and it stopped moving before the restoration was completed. How do I re-set the ipod. I can't turn it off.

How do I turn off I pod touch?   The restore screen is stuck

Thanks for the assistance. I was able to restore my I pod after letting the battery run down. I then synced the I pod to my new computer. Most of the songs moved from the cloud to the actual I pod drive. But, many of them did not. I tried downloading them from the cloud on my I pod, but this didn’t work. Will I be able to restore the missing songs? Thanks, Cleveland.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Can you help me on something? I restored my iPod and everything I had was gone. (What I Wanted) But then when I looked at my Usage It said I only have 22.5 GB Available and I Used 6.0 But I didn't. I also looked at my Backup storage and it still had all of my backup from before I restored. I deleted all my backup because it said I used all of my Backup Available. And now when I try and backup it says there is no more room or whatever to backup and Its 5/5.

No app on the iOS device is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- 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 device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

All songs deleted, and cant get them back onto ipod.

okay, so the other day my ipod all the sudden lost all of its 700 sum songs and all the music in my ipod library got deleted. but its still on my general computer. i have no idea how this happened.
i took my ipod [i pod touch] to best buy, where i bought it 6 months ago, and the geek squad person said that i need to update my software on the ipod and update itunes.geek squad updated my ipod while at best buy, but she told me that i need to update itunes on my computer and i should just be able to get my songs back onto my ipod. when i hooked my ipod up to my computer when i got home, i could not find where to update itunes. and nothing happened to my ipod.
i called bestbuy and re-told them the problem i was having. GS told me to first plug in my ipod to my computer [which i did] then sync the songs back onto my ipod.... that did no good.
then GS proceeded to tell me to just drag and drop the songs i want back onto my ipod, that are on my computer into my music library then re-sync my ipod..... once again this did not work. and my library is not locked so there is no reason as to why this should be happening. the GS person told me that he has never heard of anything like this and that he does not know what to do.
any help?!?

OMG......this just happened to me...except my library is still there. I've tried re-installing itunes, restarting, & everything. It still doesn't recognize my ipod. I updated my iTunes/iPod to the newest version since it keeps asking me everyday and when I did it, it erased all of my songs & apps. I admit, my iPod was jailbroken, so I had apps on it that I'm afraid I won't be able to get back. I avoided updating my iPod because I was scared that it was gonna erase my jailbroken apps off.....but someone told me that it was best to always update regardless. I didn't think it was gonna erase my music though....it was completely full too That's not such a big deal since it's still on my computer. The main prob. is that I can't put it back on. I've tried going back to an older version and it keeps telling me that the newest version is installed and that I'm not allowed to do that. When I try to go to the iTunes tab on my ipod, it doesn't go...the same with the videos & music tabs. The only thing that works on my iPod is Safari & youtube.
HELP ME TOO.......PLEASE! I need my music. This is the 2nd iPod that's given me ****. I'm going to Creative Zen next if nothing can be done.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
