Ipod says has no music right after restoring and syncing
It started with my ipod randomly going to menu in the middle of a song. Then it started skipping. And finally it would go from song to song but wouldn't play. So I restarted it while walking to class. When it got back to the menu it said there were no songs. Thinking it had simply been wiped clean, I plugged it into my computer to resync it.
For a while my computer didn't recognize it. When it finally did it asked me to restore it, which I did. I then was allowed to sync it with my library but after this my ipod still said it did not have any music. I repeated this process three times with the same result. HELP!
Hello,
I've the same problem with my old G4 running 10.4.11 and iTunes 8.1 (50)
Connecting the same iPod Classic to my Mac Book running 10.5.6 the syncing is working. It looks like it is a iTunes and not a iPod problem.
Offcourse I've already rebuild my iTunes library and restored the iPod but still no changes.
There are also other post reporting the same issue, it's looks like it is connected to the newest 8.1 (50) itues version as i haven't any such issues before.
regards
Lukas

iPhone 4S will either show 100% battery or dead battery right before shutting off, nothing in between. Has iOS 7 now after restore and is continuing to do the same thing as when it has iOS 6. Frustrating, like not having a fuel gauge on your car!!l. Purchased around March of this year so not very old, never wet, damaged, etc.

Can't drag music from iTunes to iPod after restore and sync
I did a restore on my 80 Gb iPod classic because the 'catalog' became disorganized. The restore (from latest iTunes under Win7) and the sync/loading of songs seemed normal. The iPod works completely normally EXCEPT when connected to iTunes. Then, I can no longer drag albums to the iPod and the iPod song display is in grayed text instead of black.
My only theory is that I may have responded to a dialog box during sync which showed my very old and no longer used apple ID. iTunes uses my current ID.
If that IS the case, how do I fix it? Or, what other kinds of things could be wrong?Probably. I ran in that mode since the thing was new, only changing after restore because sync is the default and when I uncheck sync music there is this ominous dialog box saying that 'not sync' will cause all of the content to be removed (or words to that effect).
I'll mess around a little. The worst thing that could happen is losing this tound and going back to restore!
Thanks

My iPod Nano (3rd generation) ran out of battery the other day. It said 'Low Power' and 'Connect to Power' and now these are just visible on the screen, but barely. I have tried plugging it in to recharge it, but it doesn't seem to register the power source. I can not turn it on/off either as none of the buttons seem to be working.
Is there anything I can do to fix this.I am having the same issue. I cannot connect at all the the ITunes store. I can do certain things on ITunes, but it is not working correctly. I, too, have followed all troubleshooting instructions, but no success. I can hook up my Ipod and Ipad 2. it is able to download and update applications, but unable to backup on my computer. I hope there are some answers soon.

A few days ago i small piece of plastic got stuck and subsequently fell out the charger hole of my ipod classic, although it still connects to itunes and syncs itunes says it has synced but there is nothing on my ipod! I have done this a few times and nothing seems to work! HELP! :/
Transfer all of your content to the computer:
Tunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!! -
my sons ipod says disabled for 22,807,916 min and will not allow me to restore it. on the computer is says that i have to enter his password but the slid to unlock is not even of the screen, 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: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no Update available. Yet I see that IOS 5.0 is out. Why does my Ipod say that there is no update available and my Ipod is up to date yet there is newer software available?
Because you have an older model that is not upgradable to iOS 5.x.

my ipod nano just stopped working right after playing a song, any suggestions to get it back working?
Did the battery run out of power? If not, try doing a Reset to "reboot" the iPod

I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?
Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ... -
My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds. It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work. How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting? I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily. Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks. Karen in GA
Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update
my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanksSorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone. -
