Ipod Touch 4th Gen with iOS 6 syncs but music library does not.  Why?

Hello all. Everything else on the iPod (that I have used) is working fine.
I have tried restarting my computer, iTunes, iPod, re-routing the directory and syncing again.  Nothing has worked.  I have even tried selecting only certain artists and nothing.  I am about to revert back to the old iOS on my iPod, but before I do, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for your time!

- You do have the volume set all the way up?
- Have you tried another pair of headphones/do the headphone work in other devices?
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It seems yo have a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen with iOS 5 capacity bar says other section is taking up 1.53 GB?

    When I sync my ipod touch 4th gen with iOS 5 i have 2.8 GB of music and 1.27 GB of apps and i have a 8 GB ipod but the "other" section is taking up 1.53 GB?? i know thats not normal so how do i fix that?

    This indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve it.

  • I updated my iPod Touch 4th gen. with ios 5 and all my apps and music disappeared. What to do?

    This afternoon I updated my iPod Touch 4th generation with the iOS 5 update. I left the computer alone for about an hour, since that is how long iTunes said the update would take. When I came back, all of my music and apps were gone. Why did this happen? Is there any way to fix it? Thanks for the help.

    - If in the USA you can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are signed into the same iTunes account the orignally purchased them.
    - It appears that the apps and music were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update.  Music and the apps themselfes (app data is in the backup) are not part of the bckup hat iTunes makes as the first step of the uPdate.  Apps and music are synced from your iTunes library during a latter part of the update process.

  • Tried to update my iPod touch 4 G to IOS 5 but I tunes does not recognize it. Everything worked OK when I did my other touch. I have had no problems updating to updates in the past. Any suggestions

    I have been trying to update my IPod touch 4g to IOS 5, but I tunes does not recognize it and says it is up to date. When I Updated my other touch yesterday every thing worked great. but this one does not seem to want to go beyond 4.2.1(8C148)

    Ok make sure you have iTunes 11. Then connect iPod touch to computer then iTunes should pop up automatically. After it opens on the bottom left there should be a tab where it says your name and then iPod. For example (Johns iPod) click on that then it brings all your information of the iPod including restore and updating.
    Dont worry

  • My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

    My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
    My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
    When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

    Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via USB

    My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via usb. i knew it didn't work via wifi with the new updates but this is too far. i can't see it in itunes at all anymore. i restarted my ipod already still with no results. the only thing i did is create and delete playlist from the ippd and deleted others from itunes as well. i've done it before but this time i assume it's led to this. any suggestions?

    Disregard. It seems i just needed to install an optional update with windows update. either that or just restart my computer instead of my ipod. silly me.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen failed iOS 6.1 update, stuck in recovery mode

    Last night I tried to update my iPod Touch 4th gen to iOS 6.1. The update downloaded from iTunes perfectly fine, but as it was installing I got an error message. Now my iPod is stuck in recovery mode and will not start the recovery process. Both the "Devices and Printers" and "Device Manager" in Windows 7 recognize the iPod as being connected and in recovery mode, but iTunes is not showing the prompt that it detects the iPod in recovery mode. I have tried putting the device into DFU mode, uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device driver, all with no success. I won't be home for about 6 hours, so I can't try connecting it to another computer yet. Can anyone please tell me how to fix it?

    Yeah, just happened to me too. Third time Apple has ****-canned my iPod by updating the iOS. So tired of having to do this over and over everytime Apple releases an update.
    Thanks a ton, Apple! I was just thinking what I could be doing this eveing after a long day at work, now I've got my answer! You guys are just WONDERFUL!

  • My IPOD touch 4th gen will only sync my gmail contacts from the computer to the device.  If I create a contact on the ipod it does not sync to the computer

    My ipod touch 4th gen will only sync my gmail contacts created on the computer.  It does not sync the contacts if they are created on the ipod.  HELP!

    I'm having the same problem with my girl's ipod 4th generation's. I have restored them 4 times now. It works fine after the restore but the very next time it will no longer sync and I have to do the restore again. It's becoming very frustrating.

  • I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

    I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

    This was the scenario:
    The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
    When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
    When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
    Now I got back everything except for my photos.
    (Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
    Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
    Thank you.
