I2nd Gen Ipod touch lost songs after upgrading to IOS 4.2.1.

I have 2nd Gen Ipod touch and after upgrading to IOS 4.2.1, all the music were wiped out and I can't seem to upload or sync it anymore.  Tried all the fixes out there in the web to no avail.  Appreciate the help.

I am having the same problem.  I tried using a backup from two months ago, all of my music and apps are lost.  However, my iPod DOES remember my settings for the default apps, and my contacts are still there!  Tried any fix I could find to no avail, would certainly appreciate any advice!

  • 3rd gen iPod touch 32GB won't upgrade to 4.3.3

    We have a 3rd gen iPod Touch 32GB that has OS 4.1 on it and when we plug it into the computer (MB Pro running Tiger with iTunes 9.2.1) it syncs the ipod just fine.  When we go to the iPod screen though it says there's an update 4.3.3 available but when you click update it says that iTunes 9.2.1 is the current version and doesn't update the iPod.  Anyone have any clue on how to fix this or what is going on?

  • I have an 1st gen Ipod touch that runs 3.1.3 IOS.

    1st Gen Ipod touch 3.1.3 ios. No apps will work on this ios is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks

    There are only a few apps currently available for the 1G iPod. There is no way to search for only compatible apps. You just have to look at the Requirements section of apps that interest you.
    The only real solution is to purchase a newer model iPod

  • IPod touch duplicates songs after updates

    My I-pod touch duplicates some (not all) songs after every IOS update. The only way I've found to correct this is to restore my I-pod and then synch everything again; very annoying and time-consuming. This occurs even after turing off I-Cloud Match. Any ideas/suggestions?

    The only solution is the delete the non-playing songs and resync them or redownload them. Sometimes some files on the iPod get corrupted during and update. You may even have to restore the iPod:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • IPod Touch Not Working After Upgrade

    I upgraded my iPod Touch 4G from iOS 4.3.5 to iOS 5.0.  After the upgrade, the iPod Touch is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and is not seen by iTunes.  Does anyone know why this happened, and more importantly how I can reload iOS 4.3.5?  Thanks for any information you can provide.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    Try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost.

  • IPod touch not recognized after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.2

    Hi,
    I've an iPod touch 16GB firmware version 3.1.2. I let it sync with my iMac (2006 white plastic) running Mac OS X 10.4.11. I've just upgraded my iTunes form 9.01 to 9.02, and my iMac does not recognize iPod touch when I plug-in the USB connector. I can't see iPod touch in the iTunes, and the iPod touch does not even show the charging screen.
    Then I tried to connect iPod touch to my MacBookPro 13" 2009 running Mac OS X 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.0.2, and it works just what it should be.
    Does iTunes 9.0.2 incompatible with Mac OS X 10.4.11 ?
    I'll try to do some self-cleaning tasks and try it again.

    Ok, my bad.
    After repairing permission and clearing cache, now it worked.

  • Help! iPod Touch deleted songs after connecting to iTunes but songs still show up in iTunes display

    I connected my iPod Touch 64GB (iOS 5.1.1.) to iTunes (12.0.5.00) on my MacBook Pro (10.10.2) in order to add a couple of podcasts.  Unfortunately, now only the podcasts show up on my iPod display -- they're the only audio media on the device. My 6500 songs, all my playlists are gone from the iPod (and iPod display) as well. However, on the iTunes display on my computer, when my iPod is connected, all my songs and playlists are there.
    Hoping I can get some help figuring out what went wrong and how to get the songs back on my iPod so I don't have to manually add them all from a backup external hard drive (I don't keep them all in iTunes nor all the backup files on my computer's hard drive to save space).
    You can see in the photo below on the left side of the display, 'On My Device', all my playlists remain. On the main display, all my music is there -- it's just not on the actual iPod itself. You can also see at the bottom of the screen, the iPod capacity bar, which shows that 56.80 GB is free, suggesting the songs are in fact, deleted from the iPod.
    Can anyone assist? Any thoughts as to why the songs & playlists still show up in iTunes if they are in reality deleted from the iPod?
    Thank you for any info or assistance, it's very much appreciated.
    Derek

    And I've now tried connecting the iPod to an older Macbook running iTunes 12.0.0.140 and I'm getting the same thing -- the songs and media shows up under 'Devices' on the left, but they are not actually there. Trying to double click on them brings up the symbol. Wondering how the 'ghost' effect of them showing up in iTunes can happen if they are no longer on the iPod itself.
    Thanks again for any thoughts, suggestions, or assistance.

  • IPod Touch locked up after upgrading to 2.0.2.  Can I get it back?

    Last night, I upgraded to 2.0.2, and let it install completely.
    Then I saw that the Cube Runner app was upgraded to 1.2. I started the install process on the iPod to download and install the app via my WiFi connection.
    When I woke up this morning, It appeared to lock up during the install. the WiFi star that rotates when data passes through was stopped, and the progress bar of the install was still about half.
    I give it a reboot by pressing both buttons. I plug it into my laptop with iTunes on it, and it turns on with the apple logo, and nothing's happened since.
    What can I do to recover this?
    Thanks.

    try putting your ipod touch into dfu mode by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 10 seconds, then let go of the sleep/wake button (make sure it is connected to your computer) and continue to hold the home button for 10 to 15 seconds or until itunes reads it as an iphone in recovery mode that needs to be restored, if you need more help on this just go to youtube and type in dfu mode in the search field

  • Ipod Touch Overcapacity Error after Upgrade to itunes 11

    I just upgraded to itunes 11 and when I tried to connect my 32gb ipod touch it would not sync because it was over capacity by over 40gb.
    I have a 64 bit windows 7 os.
    What I have tried so far:
    1) reboot ipod
    2) reboot computer
    3) Restore ipod
    4) uninstall and reinstall itunes
    None of that has worked.
    I have unchecked every single thing within the menu so that there are ZERO FILES on my ipod but it still shows over capacity by 10 gb even when it is actually 100% empty.
    I have saw other instructions that said this might have to do with the AAC conversion using a bad estimator but even when i unchecked that there was no change.
    All of the extra usage seems to be tied into the "audio" category.
    Please help!

  • Ipod touch not working after upgrades.....

    So I went ahead and upgraded my itunes to 10.5, and got the newest download for my touch (can't remember what number it is).  Now when I went to sync my ipod itunes didn't recognize my ipod, and when I went through and did everything the tech manual said with the whole msconfig stuff, it worked for a little while.  Went ahead and synced my ipod and none of my music showed up as being in the ipod, but on teh ipod usage it showed them all as being there.  So I restarted my computer and turned off my ipod thinking that will work.  Logged on my computer about 30 minutes later and now my ipod isn't being recognized by my computer again.  Please help.

    And now my other 2 ipod touches are not showing up on itunes as being recognized.  Someone please help.

  • Ipod Touch is slow after upgrade

    The upgrade to iOS5 for  my iPod Touch went fine but now my ipod locks up and is VERY slow to respond. If I am using an app and playing music the music will stop and it takes forever to open the app. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Yes. I´m having the same problem to. My iPod is much slower and i´m considering returning to previous 4.3.5! Typing is slower, Web navigation is slower, some sites freeze, Apple store is slower and is constantly freezing...total disapointing! Hope they are not still crying on Steve Jobs grave and start to work on a new update.
    By the way...R.I.P. Steve Jobs!

  • 4th gen ipod touch lost with find my ipod turned on and wifi off

    My daughter lost her 4th generation ipod touch. Find my ipod is on, but the app was not downloaded. It is not locked. How can i find it or delete data on it? icloud is not completely set up

    You are out of luck since as your described the iPod is not connected to the internet.

    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.
