Ipod touch 4th generation music problem

ok so i got the new update of the ios 5, but ever since i gotten it my music has been messed up, i would touch a song and it would display it but it wont play it at all or it will skip to the next song (sometimes the song doesnt go with the album picture) so obviosly something is wrong? what should i do? is it just the ios update?

Facing exactly the same problems on my ipod touch 4/64GB. Also since upgrading to ios5 my other memory shot up to 10.1 GB - previously at less than 1 GB. Hope that Apple is dealing with it because it's definitely a problem with the software.

IPod Touch 4th Generation shuffle problem

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and made the awful mistake of hitting shuffle by accident. It seems to be permanently stuck in that mode now. How do I turn the blasted shuffle off? Is there any way to disable it for good? Some albums just have to be heard in song order.

With an album playing, tap the album cover until you see the elapsed song time, then tap the shuffle symbol (it's directly under the song time) until it is white.

New iPod Touch (4th generation) - Music will not sync

I just bought an 4th generation iPod Touch. When syncing my from my Windows PC to the iPod everything syncs perfectly - photos, contacts, bookmarks - but not my music files. The music sync box is checked. The playlists are hightligthed, but no luck. Any ideas why I am having this problem?

The songs were either purchased through the iTunes or imported from old CDs. This is a replacement iPod as my old Clasic died. All the songs I wanted downloaded fine to the Classic. In addtion, I have an iPad and an iPhone 5 and the songs synced to them just fine.

IPod touch 2nd generation music problem

Ok so my iPod touch music suddenly wont work through speakers. The notifications and clicks work but the music will not play through my speakers. The volume slider appears when I plug in my headphones and music works fine but when I remove my headphones the music will not play through the speakers. Earlier I played a video through a website and it worked fine. Now the volume rocker wont even work.
Tried reset and restore and it is fully updated. It is not under warranty so this is my only option.

You said you restored the iPod. If you only restored the iPod from backup. try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. If that does not solve ythe problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod touch 4th generation connection problems

My iPod touch indicates that it is connected to wifi (a connection that I frequently used in the past, and use for all my other deivces), and I even full wifi strength (three 'bars'), but I cannot use various apps that connect to the Internet or connect to iTunes (not sure if related).
Some apps do open and I can access the online parts (ex. Instagram, Mail), but the apps I mainly use (i.e. Twitter, iMessage, Safari, App Store) have no such luck and I cannot load anything on only these specific apps.
I have tried resetting the network settings, turning it on and off many times, and attempting to wait out the loading icons, but all of these are to no avail.
Like I stated earlier, everything was working fine yesterday but after I turned my iPod on today all these problems had occurred.
To sum up my 'question', everything seems fine and dandy except when you open some specific apps or try to connect to most online-only apps, can someone tell me what may have caused this or help find a solution?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod Touch 4th Generation Update problem

For the past few days, I have been trying to install the latest iOS update on my iPod Touch, but every time iTunes says that this device is not eligible for an update. I have also notice that the time and date on my iPod keeps auto setting its self to December 21, 1969, so I reset the date and time, but always get the same result.
I also tried to restore the iPod and yet nothing works. This device has NEVER been jailbroken and I do not intend on doing so. If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you,
Michael N.

Michael,
The first thing I would do is update to the latest version of iTunes. If that doesn't help, try downloading a new copy of the iPod's firmware.
For the date and time issue, head to Settings -> General -> International and make sure the Calendar setting is to Gregorian.

My ipod touch 4th generation keeps deleting my music even after restoring it and I can't sync new songs anymore

Hello, I have an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB that I purchased brand new in January 2013. The device is currently running iOS 6.1.6.
It worked perfectly fine until today, when I tried to sync one single song on it.
While i was syncing it, I noticed that on the iPod screen, the song menu begun scrolling without me touching the display, some song titles became white (as when you're syncing a song) or disappeared leaving blank lines, until the music app crashed.
When I opened it again, it said that there where no songs in my library.
I tried copying my music on the iPod again, but it only copied one song, after that when I tried syncing more songs, iTunes kept saying "preparing synchronization" (or something similar) but nothing happened.
I tried restoring the device, and initializing it as a new iPod (without using any backups) and then I started copying my songs on it again.
But after the 15th song, the problem occurred again.
What can I do?
Is it possible that it's the case of an hardware failure? My photo library wasn't affected, and except for the music problem, my iPod is running fine, it's not even an old device and no accidents even happened to him (like falling on the ground or something like that).
Any tips?
Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm having the same problem with my 4th gen iPod touch. After the update my iPod synched and wiped all my music off - apps & podcasts weren't affected. Restored it a couple of times and that didn't work.
I tried copying a couple of albums over and it would do a couple of songs then the rest of the album would look like it had copied instantly. I tried playing the songs and it would play the first couple of songs once, then it came up with ! Beside every song (including the ones I'd just played and said they weren't on my iPod.
I've removed iTunes from my laptop and downloaded the few iTunes bought albums over WiFi to my iPod. The rest of my music is from cds or mixes/podcasts downloaded from soundcloud so I've had to use a different program to copy some of this music to my iPod for the time being until I can see how to sort this out.

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

I just got an iPod touch 4th generation for my daughter. I already have a iPhone 5 setup with iTunes. All I want to put on her iPod is music and apps. How do I set the iPod to only get that information using my iTunes?

I just got a new iPod Touch 4th generation for my daughter. I have a iPhone 5 that is already set up on iTunes. The only thing I want on her iPod from my iTunes is music and apps. How do I set her iPod up so that it only gets that information? Do I set it up as a new device? If so will that alter my iTunes?
Thanks.

You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:

But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc.

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

I have same issue with iPad3. all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes. maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn. I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
I have restarted.
I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back! iCloud restore was perfect. I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
please advise.
thanks,
phil

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I have not updated since purchase. I have downloaded music from iTunes from an old computer that I can no longer access, and my "old" music in not currently on my new computer. Will I lose my music if I update?

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and have not updated the software since I purchased it. When I first purchased the iPod Touch, I synced it with an old computer and an older version of iTunes. I no longer have access to the old computer and no access to the older music I downloaded onto the old computer. If I update the software for my iPod, will I lose all of my music that is currently on the iPod?

iOS 6.1.3 Software Update
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Since your updating from iOS 4 to iOS 6, you will most likely lose your songs, but if songs were purchased from iTunes, you can try this:
Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can redownload from iTunes on your iTouch, if running iOS 5 or better.

Lots of problems with my iPod touch 4th generation

I am having a few problems with my iPod touch 4th Generation. I have been having them for a while and I would really like to get them fixed.
My first and main problem would be that my iPod touch is not being recognized by my computer (windows) and it will not sync to iTunes. I am certain it is not my USB cables fault because I have tried it with three different USB cables and all of them have had the same result. It has seemed to be completly fine until I updated to ios 6. I would restore my ipod to ios 5 but I can't get my ipod to be recognized by iTunes and restore it.
My next problem is that my ipod is charging but it does not show that it is charging. The thing is though that it will only charge when it is hooked up to a very high powered source like my computer. My ipod dock works but it says it uses 160 watts of output power. It will not be charged from another wall charger and it will not charge in the car with a car charger.
I would love some help with this. I have been having these problems for a while and it is starting to annoy me a little.
Thanks in advance.

Type "ios device not recognized" into the search bar at the top of this page and read the resulting help article.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
