Ipod 5th Gen won't sync?

This is the 3rd Ipod i have attached to my Itunes, but for some reason it won't sync?
I've removed all of the previous devices from the account, but it just gets stuck at Step 6 (waiting for changes to be applied) and then cuts out. I had this for christmas, but i don't think i've managed to sync a single track yet. The only way i can get music onto it is to go through my "purchased" list on the store and re-download everything to the device, but with having bought new CD's, i can't do this and means i can't listen to my new music.
I've tried syncing over wifi, manually managing the music and just selecting just a couple of albums in the music tab of my ipod, but nothing seems to work? I'm on the latest software update (7.0.6) and i've just downloaded the updated itunes from this morning.
any ideas?
edit: just noticed that on the drop down box below, it's only listing my ipod 3rd gen as my registered products, but my 5th gen is showing as authorised on my account details, so now sut if this has something to do with it ?

ok, looks like i've sorted the problem - i just kept hitting the sync button and eventually it decided to play ball andis now copying 650 songs over wifi

My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

My iPod 5th gen won't charge:'(

As stated in the tittle my iPod won't charge. I have looked at a lot of the similar posts but none of them are helpful. I can NOT get into DFU mode, I HAVE read both iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting and iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery pages, I HAVE tried another cable and another wall charger, I HAVE checked all connections/sockets on the iPod, cord, and wallcharger for debree, rust, or other forign materials, and I HAVE tried plugging it into my computer.
Just for clarification, my sister has an iPod 5th gen with the iOS 7.0.4 and her iPod charges on both mine and her cable/wallcharger/computer BUT my iPod does not charge on any combination of those. The nearest apple store is 1hr 29mins from me (I checked!)
Usually computers and tech do not elude my deductive skills but this has me stumped! Please help! Any of such is greatly appriecated!

Mine had been fading for a while before the warranty was up, and then became mostly unchargeable in the eleventh month.
I took it to a Genius bar where they were able to test it and swap it for a new iPod touch.
Just make sure you have done a very careful backup before you go, I have had weird sync problems after the swap, getting my stuff back.
I suggest the simplest method is to clear off just about everything you can, especially the photos. Less to chase when things go pear shaped.

My iPod 5th gen won't turn on!

My iPod 5th gen was working fine last night and after charging it won't turn on with power button today. I'm not able to reboot using home button and power button simultaneously because my home button stopped working couple weeks back and I was using touch screen for home function. Any suggestions on how I can reboot without the home button working? Thanks!

See this previous discussion:

How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? When I plugged in my new ipod 5th gen, it only synced purchases.

How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? I just bought an ipod 5th gen and when I plugged it in, it only synced purchases.

You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

IPod 5th Gen Won't Connect to Chargers

So I've had my iPod 5th gen with iOS 7.1.2 for a little over a year now, and recently I noticed it wouldn't connect to any chargers I had. I went online and bought a brand new lightning cable to find that that would not work either. Then I read about cleaning my charger port to get dust out, and I did that getting large amounts of debris out of there with a toothpick, but it still will not charge properly. The only way I can get my iPod to charge is to bend the cable (even the brand new one) in a certain direction. Can anyone help me?

Itunes recognizes the Ipod but, when it stars to sync, I get a message saying that the attempt failed because it's not possible to read or copy on the disc. Dows anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

Ipod touch (5th gen) won't sync with computer

I had to close my itunes on my computer because it was not responding and now my ipod won't sync with my itunes anymore. It charges normally, but my computer reads the ipod now as a camera instead of an ipod.

Try:
- Reboot the computer
- 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.

My ipod 5th Gen won't play some songs

5th gen. nano won't play songs that play perfectly fine in itunes library, help?
i have a new 5th generation nano and the most recent version of itunes. i just downloaded a bunch of songs that play fine in my itunes library but when i try to listen to them on my ipod, it immediately skips to another song. only a few of the songs that i synched actually play. i have tried deleting them from my ipod and my itunes library and then adding them back to the library and resynching but i am still having this problem. can anyone tell me what is wrong and what i can do to fix this? thanks for the help.

Check what format they're in and try converting them to AAC (you can do this by right clicking the song that isn't working & selecting create AAC version). I just started having this problem with MP3s that were playing just fine a couple of hours ago, so i converted them to AAC and now they work just fine. Hope this helps you.

IPod 5th gen won't turn on.

I have a 5th gen iPod. It had a full battery and I locked it. About a minute later I went to check the time and it wouldn't turn on. I have plugged it into a power source and into a computer and there's no response. It won't show up into iTunes and nothing happens when I hold the top lock button for an extended period of time.
The home button doesn't work so I've been using the accessibility home button for a little while so I can't hold both to force reset. What else can I try...?

YESSSS, ITS WORKING AGAIN.
Unfortunately I cracked the screen trying to un-jam the home button. It's minor and you can't even tell it's cracked though. Still completely useable. I'm just glad it's working again for now. I'm going to replace it with an iPhone eventually.

My iPod 5th gen won't connect to internet, and symbol is grey. Help!

My iPod touch 5th gen ,with I.O.S 7.1.1, will not connect to the internet at all. If I go into settings the the wifi slider will not slide at all. And if I use the slide-up section of my iPod, that displays bluetooth, airlane mode, wi-fi ect, the symbol of wi-fi is grey. Please help. Have you encountered this problem, or have seen it before, can you show me how to fix it, because without wi-fi my iPod is essentially half useless.

IPod 5th gen won't charge with wall charger

I just recently purchased a 5th gen iPod touch. I had a little USB wall charger for my camera and decided to charge my iPod with it. It didn't work and it charges on a computer just fine so it isn't the cable. I then tried using my friend's Apple wall charger which worked for his iPhone 4 just fine. That didn't work either but my iPod will charge with a computer. Any ideas?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod 5th Gen will not sync movies from Itunes...

I've had this Ipod for a couple of years now and the only way I've been able to put movies on is through a few programs that I've downloaded. I've bought a few movies off of the Itunes store and every time I put it on the iPod, the iPod freezes up, and then sometimes my iPod loses all of it's content. The iPod and iTunes are both up-to-date, is this just an issue with the 5th gens?

Are these HD movies? iPods can only handle SD movies.
Some store downloads include both versions. They will show HD-SD next to them. If so, right-click > Version and make sure SD is checked.
if it just shows HD, you should be able to use the Advanced menu to create an iPod or iPhone version.

Ipod 3rd Gen won't sync

It's been syncing just fine. Now after running the update for Itunes it won't sync at all. Out of 599 songs on the ipod i'd say maybe only 24 are still on my computer or have been bought from the Istore. What can i do, to get 3 new songs onto my Ipod.

3 day old ipod 5th gen won't work! Scan and Fix spam message...

I have owned an ipod for about 6 years, upgrading to a new version whenever I could afford it, and for Christmas my father bought me the new 5th gen nano. The last one I had was a 2nd gen nano... I have always kept my itunes up to date and so on and so forth and I have used my new 5th gen for about three days when suddenly I plug it in today and; I start getting a spam of error messages saying that there is something wrong with the ipod and that I need to Scan and Fix it. When I click Scan and Fix it closes out and says that it can not read the disk. iTunes tells me that there s something wrong with my ipod and immediately ejects it before I can even restore it.
In addition, winamp also will not recognize the new ipod but it sees my old one...
I tried using the command prompt thing but I have no idea what driver my ipod is plugged into so I keep getting errors...
I have no idea what to do about this and I am not finding any answers, I'm getting pretty upset ):
