Ipod touch 4g- no music, and apps not working after iOS5 update

Hi, I just updated to IOS 5 on my Ipod touch 4G, and ever since then the music library (in the Ipod) is cleared out, and none of the apps work. It's like it didn't finish updating and transferring back the data to the Ipod. When I go to plug in the Ipod to my macbook, and bring up Itunes, the Itunes program freezes every single time, not allowing me to fix the problem. My Ipod will show up in the side bar of Itunes, with the circular arrows going for a little bit, then the arrows stop in the middle of the process... I go to click on anything in Itunes and immediately get the spinny flywheel on my screen, meaning itunes freezes, and I have to force quit the program everytime. I've tried rebooting my computer a few times, as well as restarting my Ipod, but nothing is working. The internet works on my Ipod, but anything music/app related is 'empty.'  I couldn't find anyone else on the net w the same problem, so I might have something unique~

I would try restoring the iPod from backup.  If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Sounds in apps not working after iOS8 update

    Has anyone else had issues with apps not playing sound after the update? I have a 5S and have reset it with no luck; sound plays through earbuds just fine, also plays the typing sound without earbuds. Seeing this with YouTube and Facebook as well as other embedded media.

  • My Time Machine and backup drive are not recognized and do not work after this update...is there a way to fix this?

    After I upgraded to Yosemite, my MAC Time Machine backup drive is no longer recognized and the process freezes when I try to re-install the drive from the drive's software.  Is there a way to fix this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Airtunes and Airport not working after Itunes update

    Help
    I have a new airport and before updating to the new version of iTunes it worked perfectly. Now the green light flashes (an option I ticked to show activity) but no music comes from the device. I have seen other users here with the same problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8147595
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks
    James

    Same problem here.
    My base station, which is newer, is working still, but the latest iTunes update knocked out my older AirPort Express.
    I've tried many times to reset the Express with a paperclip but no results. After resetting the Express, AirPort Utility reads it through a scan, but when I try to add Express to my existing network it drops out and fails to reconnect.
    I'm stuck with a flashing yellow light. AirPort Utility can't pick it up in another scan unless I go back and reset the Express with a paperclip and the process starts all over again.

  • Software update app not working after belle update...

    After updating my N8 to nokia belle, I can no longer use the software update application. It will not connect to the net and just keeps on saying "connection failed (connection unavailable)" eventhough everything else (nokia browser, store, email, opera, maps etc) is connected. After failing to connect it gives the message : unable to check for updates, please try later.
    Is there any suggestion I can apply to fix this situation?

    What sort of reaction do you get using Nokia Suite > Options > software updates?

  • Wi-fi not connection not working after ios5 update.

    I updated my iphone 4 to the new OS but I cannot connect to my home wi-fi. I see it listed as an option in the menu but after I enter my password (which is correct) is tells me "Unable to join network "___" . I have restarted my everything and still nothing. I have been trying for the last 2 days. Any suggestions.

    I don't know if this will help you, but here it goes. I have iPhone 4 still running in firmware 4.3.3 due to my jailbreak state. I bought a new router and noticed that my iPad, iPod and iPhone weren't able to connect to my wifi. I did a little google search and came across a thread were it said never to use capital letters when naming your SSID due to iDevices for some reason not recognizing capital letters. It turned our that before my new router my SSID was all in lower cases letter but I decided to capitalize Magnet on the new router. Believe it or not after renaming my router to "magnet" I haven't had any connection issues, all my devices connects fine to my network.

  • Can't get apps to work after ios5 update

    After doing the update for ios5, i noticed i can't open apps i have installed on my ipad2.  the apps are still there but when i click on facebook app for example the fb icon shows it being clicked on but nothing comes up.  this is the same for all other apps i have installed before the update.  safari works just fine but not the apps.  any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it?

    Users have reported this problem after previous major updates (IOS4).
    Q: Did the update complete successfully? You would have been asked to set Location, iCloud, etc.
    is it ALL apps, or just 3rd party apps? Safari is working.
    Try a resync with iTunes.
    Try reinstalling one 3rd party app. In the past, just reinstalling one seemed to fire up the others for users who had this problem.

  • I am trying to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. Please help me..

    I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.  use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

    Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
