IPod Froze, but now it won't sync

my iPod froze so i had to reset it. This cleared all the songs so i went to put them all back on but nothing happens.
Please help,
Thanks.

Hello Mr. Bump,
By rest do you mean pressing and holding the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple log appears? If so, then after you did this you say your music disappeared? Maybe try resetting the unit one more time.
If no luck, your iPod may be corrupt. I would recommend completely restoring the iPod via iTunes and starting from scratch in regards to adding all your music and files back to it.
Here are instructions on how to restore your iPod. Hope it helps.

If I am mistaken on any of these assumptions, let me know. Would love to help.

I have moved my music to my new mac air but now it won't sync with my ipod or my iphone 4s

I have transferred mymusic to my new mac air from an acer laptop via an external hard drive and it's all there on the mac but now itunes won't sync with my ipod touch or my iphone 4s.
With the ipod it says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device " It also doesn't show up at all in the devices section.
With the iphone it says there isn't enough space to sync even though I have experimented and unticked various things including photos which takes up a lot of space. It seems like it wants to sync with the empty space on the iphone (very small!) and not with the whole thing. I have tried various things suggested on this forum but have had no luck.

Just did the on line update for 3g phone and wiped out all my songs. I have the songs still on my laptop but now phone won't sync

How can I get my phone to sync and put the songs back? I also made back up discs but it won't sync.

Thanks but I solved the problem...it was really simple. Out of 160GB I had only used 34GB, so I knew I had space. What happened was in the process of downloading songs I also downloaded a few episodes of United States of Tara, which was taking a long time to download so even though it said I had 1019 songs the 26 undownloaded were on iCloud, not on my computer. So I paused the downloading of my episodes so my songs could finish downloading. Now my iPod and computer are in sync.
I don't know how this works so I'll give the points anyway, for being the only one who attempted to solve my problem.

I am having trouble syncing one app I downloaded to my ipad to my iphone. Finally got it to computer, but now it won't sync to my iPhone

I am having trouble syncing one app I downloaded to my ipad, and transferred to my iMac, but it won't sync with my iphone 4s. Can someone help?

Is the app compatible with the iphone it may only be for iPad only.

My iOS used to update before I reset my ipod 3g, but now it won't. Help?

Before I had reset my iPod completely, it was working perfectly with the IOS updating well, but after I rest it, it went back to the lowest iOS possible, and it will not let me update again since there is no sign that I should update. And now I can't download anything because everything is iOS 4.3 or higher. And I'm selling this iPod soon, to a friend and I really don't want it to not let her download music from her iTunes account like it did to me, and I also want it to actually update when I reset it again for her.
What's wrong with it? And I cant go to a Apple Store and get it troubleshooted since I don't have enough money.
It also will not let me download any music onto it.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

I did a factory reset on my iPod Classic, and now it won't sync to any computer!

I've reset it about 5 times tonight.
I was only tryingto update it, and sync it with my laptop, as opposed to my parents computer.
Why won't it let me do update it with my laptop's iTunes library? I understand that all of the music would have to be erased and whatnot, but my iPod will not sync at all!
After I restored it, I decided to try and resync it to my parents computer instead, and it still won't let me!
help me please

Why won't it let you sync? What happens when you try to sync it? Any error messages from iTunes? How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options do you have selected from under the iPod's Music tab in iTunes? To access this tab, plug your iPod in, select it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes, and over to the right locate and select the Music tab along the top.
Or are you trying to manually manage your iPod's contents? In other words, is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?

Iv upgraded to itunes 10.5, and iOS5. but now iphone4 won't sync

hi there guys and gals,
last weekend i updated everything to get the full use of ios5 and icloud
since upgrading, iv been having major issues with syncing my iphone4 with iTunes
both via USB and WiFi
im using a Mac, with lion
itunes 10.5 and iOS5.
it starts the sync off great, and once it gets up to step6 of 6.
waiting for changes to be applied
the sync gets start, and will stay stuck for up 2 hours, before i cancel the sync
and im not joking when i say 2 hours.
wifi sync gets up to 1 hour, before i cancel.
its not even syncing anything over to the device,
its just getting stuck at the same point everytime
and since the upgrade,
the music app on the iphone
is making more then one copy of a album, 3 to 5 different copy's of the same album.
some with the full tracklist, and others with 3 to 4 songs from the same album
this has only happened since the upgrade

it worked at first
but has happened again
and im not keen to restore again

I upgraded iTunes to version 11.0.5 but now it does not sync my songs properly. Some songs are synced entirely, but other songs stop half way through.

I upgraded my iTunes software to version 11.0.5 but now it won't sync my songs properly, either on my iPod classic or on my new iPhone 4s. The problem seems to happen with random songs: some songs will play through to the end, but other songs cut off part way through the song. At first I thought my iPod was defective, but then it happened on my new iPhone 4s. On my phone, I can see that the song is still playing, but the sound cuts off. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thank you.

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,it takes forever to back up my iPad AND my iPod so what can I do ?

If you're on windows try the following:
This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
1. Quit itunes
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
4. press ENTER
5. Reboot your machine
6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
7. Good luck

My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

I just updated my iTunes to the new software. When I plugged it into my computer and it said I need to reset my iPod. I did this and everything on my iPod deleted. Now, it won't let me sync my music or apps back onto my iPod. What do I do?

It doesn't say anything. It runs through the sync process like normal and tells me all of the songs that it's synking. But then when it says I can disconnect it, nothing actually synked.

I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.
