IPod Touch 4 Music App Issues

I'm having trouble with a few of the songs I bought through the music store. Some of the songs are working fine, maybe half of the 25 I bought. The other half either wont play, play another song instead, or skip the song entirely. I have tried rebooting the device and that didn't seem to work. Resyncing hasn't worked but the songs play fine on iTunes. I am about to just restore the iPod, but I was looking for tips and suggestions. Also iTunes has been kind of screwy lately. It took a few hours to download a 11 song CD and iTunes Store won't open. Obviously iTunes is a common problem but if anyone knows any tricks to get it to speed up or work correctly it would be much appreciated. I'm running Windows Vista with the latest iTunes and iTouch updates. Thanks!

If when restoring iTunes asks for a passcode and you can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

IPod Touch Music Syncing Issue

Using iTunes 10.7, I'm trying to add music to my 4G iPod touch running 6.1.2. The files appear within the iPod sidebar Music tab, greyed out with the sync icon next to them but they never finish copying; they just stay grey and nothing happens. I am able to select and delete them, and they remain after I unplug and plug back in, but the iPod never shows anything in Music. When I add files manually, the sync icon replaces the sidebar eject icon, during which time it is able to create playlists in the sidebar, but then the sync ends immediately and the iTunes status bar never displays the copying process, just the Apple logo. Same thing happens whether I add 1 file or 100 files. Same thing happens whether I sync music automatically or manually (I have switched between the two methods several times). I have tried adding new files and different file formats to my iTunes library; those ones don't work either. I have also tried restoring from the iPod backup, and resetting the iPod entirely, but I still get the same result. Additionally, I am able to manage Apps as usual.
Anybody have any ideas? As a last resort, I may try re-installing iTunes 10.7, but I would prefer to find a fix for this without upgrading iTunes to 11 or 12.

I had already tried that and I got the same problem. I did get the issue resolved, although I don't know the reason it was acting up. What I did was upgrade iTunes to iTunes 11, update the iPod to 6.1.6, then downgrade back to iTunes 10.7

4th Gen iPod Touch music app is going haywire.

Recently my 4th Gen iPod Touch (version 6.1.6 recently updated) refused to sync any music. I have had it synced to my computer for more than a year and have been adding new music with the 'Autofill' option. However, last night it refused to sync music. The songs are visible on my iPod but greyed out. This has happened before. Usually it will sync eventually but this time is different. Around the same time my iPod was claiming to be overcapacity. I looked up solutions but none seemed to be particularly helpful. I did delete some music and videos off my iPod to no avail.
Eventually the problem seemed to fix itself with the overcapacity claim disappearing however the data then began to inflate and adjust itself out of nowhere. It would claim my music was taking up 30gig before saying 4gig. Everything seemed to be going haywire with the data reading. When I checked the music app the artists tab claimed I had no music. I selected a song and discovered that it wouldn't play but rather start shuffling in the playlist. I can't do anything to stop this. I have turned the iPod off and on and soft reset it (I think, I held the Power and Home button for several seconds) but the actions have done nothing. it is incredibly confusing as the iPod is only 2 years old and I would like to avoid buying a new one. I'm not sure how helpful a restore or reset would be but I will try it if there is no other option. I've searched the net for an hour trying to find out if anyone has encountered the same problem. Everything else works fine except for Notes which stopped opening months ago. Incredibly confused and would appreciate any help or advice.

Ipod Touch Music App blows past options screen to playlist - No control

I just purchased a Touch 4.1 and everything is great except the Music app.. When I turn it on it flashes past the control screen with the options and goes directly to the graphical listing of music. I can only play 1 piece at a time. Regardless of how fast I try and intercept the control screen, as it flashes by ... No luck! Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall just the Music App?
Thanks!

No, you can't do anything with the native music app. Have your reset your iPod?
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IPod Touch January Apps issue.

I decided to restore my iPod Touch today to its original firmware (I had it 1.1.4 Jailbroke)because I am going to purchase the 2.0 F/W when it's released.Everything (iPod Touch wise) works just fine.Issue is,I bought the January iPhone Apps when I first got my iPod touch,and the apps have been on there ever since.But as soon as I go to restore my iPod today,the apps do not show up....Whats going on?
Is it because the January Apps are no longer on iTunes for now,or what?I've tried having it auto sync,and even uninstalled & reinstalled iTunes...Nothing works...Any help would bne appretiated,thanks.

Well, that's because you can't use another person's copy of the software. The download is registered to your friends iTunes account and cannot be transferred to you whether or not you authorise or de-authorise your computer.
You should've made a backup of your copy of the .ipa file after purchasing it, as that is the only copy that will work with your iTunes account.
Do you still have access to the old PC that you purchased the apps on? If so, copy your copy of the .ipa file to your new PC.

IPod Touch - installer.app (Issues anyone?)

Hi everyone, just picked up my 16gb iPod Touch yesterday. Surfed around a couple of iPod Touch / iPhone forums to find that alot of applications are available for installation onto our devices.
I've also been reading about how apple is disabling the use or removing installer.app if it's installed on the iPod Touch / iPhone.
My question is, has anyone been experiencing any issues with installer.app installed or do you guys anticipate the applications that you installed with installer.app or similar installation application to render the iPod Touch into a "Brick" with the next update through iTunes?
Thanks in advance for your input.

You can't install any third-party stuff on an iPod touch (yet). The hackers haven't managed to get into it yet.
All the apps you've seen are for pre v1.1.1 firmware iPhones.

Yeah, i found the file 'iPod touch app pack 4a93.ipa' in mobile application directory, which directory in Mac should i copy to? Is it \user\<name>\music\iTunes ?
Hi,
I think that is the old "January update", I'm not so sure it is necessary to transfer that one but it would go here -
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Look here for the latest 2.0 etc. updates -
C:\Documents and Settings\"name"\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Even then I'm not sure even these are required but best back them up to be safe.
I'm not sure where the go in Mac OS X though.
I'm sure someone will let us know soon.

Ipod touch music problem

i went to go add this one song onto both of my ipods, one being the ipod touch 5.0.1 i guess, and the third gen ipod nano. When i added the song to both of them my nano has all the songs including the new one into it while my ipod touch music has been erased all for one song. How do i get back the songs from my itouch, can i restore it? Now when it tells me when i click on the music library on the itouch from itunes it shows me all the music i once had but when i go on my itouch it only has 1 song.
further information, i have my nano then i got my itouch.

go to the itunes app and got to purchesed
in purchesed go to music and this is a hard task but click on the cloud on the songs you want and they will download

IPod Touch / iPhone app "Remote"

Does anyone else attempt to use this to remote control your AppleTV ?
I was full of expectation when I went through the hassles of setting up an iTunes account on my junk email address (and without having to submit my credit card details - sorry, call me luddite, but I like to buy my music albums and movies and tv series on optical media, usually for less than iTunes is charging).
Then I find that the iPod Touch remote will only show iTunes purchased movies and tv shows, and not the "shared", personal movies / tv shows. Anyone with children of their own will understand, I have hundreds of home movie clips I want available.
I guess the "networking" between the iMovie and iDVD departments and the AppleTV department is broken, and has been since Take 2 was planned.

This must be where I'm going wrong.
I have nothing synced - all turned off when I setup after the "update" to Take 2. I previously had all my TV shows (including all my home movies) sync'd but the wireless speed is so fast and reliable I've gone back to stream everything.
I have only the one library ("Mac Pro Library") connected at the Apple TV. To play anything not purchased from iTunes, I have to select "Shared Movies" (or Shared TV Shows, etc), the "My Movies" shows nothing, presumably because I don't sync anything.
Are you saying that I could change some setting to get the whole streamed library content through the "My Movies" (or My TV Shows, etc) menu, and therefore possibly through the iPod Touch "Remote" app ?
I'm also a little miffed that the "Shared Movies" are not sorted by the "Sort Name" in iTunes in Take 2 v2.1. Apple TV v1.0 didn't sort by sort name either, but v1.1 did.
I factory restored to v1.0. Do I miss Take 2 ? LOL. I might use it if there was one good thing about it. Or it offered me some flexible access to my own content. Is there anything WOW I'm missing ?

IPod Touch album artwork issues

Hi all,
I recently changed a whole album's artwork to something different. I selected all the songs under Devices>ipod Touch>Music and did a multiple edit with the new artwork. After the sync, only certain ones changed. I then went into each individual playlist and changed them (using the multiple edit again). Still, only a few are changed. I've done multiple sync's to make sure it didn't stop in the middle of the sync as well. Any ideas?

Amazon is a good source of (good quality) album artwork. Songs though, well that's illegal, If you get my drift.. Hope you've got hard copies.
Regards,
Peter.
