IPod Touch 5th gen won't let me put songs on it?

Soo I bought a new iPod the other day and I tried downloading my purchased songs onto it from the iTunes on it and it said they were downloading....but when I go to my music nothing is there. I have tried doing it at least five times and nothing shows up. It also won't let me put songs from my iTunes on the computer on it. It just doesn't show up on my iPod. When I go on iTunes and plug in my iPod it says I have like over 400 songs on it...but like I said, when I go to music on my iPod...there's nothing. Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone help?
Thanks!

My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music

My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music. If I try to play a song it will just skip it and then if I go back to try again it will be greyed out. I can play all my music on iTunes on my computer but only about 10% on my iPod, and the 90% I can't play includes many songs and albums I've bought directly from iTunes. I've tried re-syncing the missing music from my computer but it won't let me, I can't even delete the remaining music. Please help. Thankyou.

The grayed-out sone indicated that the songe files are corrupted.

My iPod Touch 5th Gen won't open. I don't know if the battery is empty or what. I tried connecting it to the computer but it won't start up. I think it just heating up. When I tried to charge it, after a few seconds it it hot. Can somebody help me, please?

IPod Touch 5th Gen Won't Wi-Fi Sync

My iPod Touch 5th gen won't sync over wi-fi while the two other iPhones and one iPad in the house will. My iPod Touch 5th gen isn't even recognized in iTunes despite having "Sync with this iPod over wi-fi" checked. The "Sync Now" button is grayed out on my iPod as well. What's going on?

My iPod Touch 5th gen won't turn on

My iPod touch 5th gen was working fine and was fully charged and then it just shut off and won't turn back on. There has been no damage to it from anything and there was no reason it should've shut off. I tried holding down the lock button for a minute and I also tried plugging it in..still nothing. I can't hold down the home button and lock button at the same time because the home button has been stuck down for about a month. What else can I try to make it work?

Turn on without Home/Power Button

IPod touch 5th gen won't accept wifi password

My daughter just got her iPod touch 5th gen 32GB (iOS 8.1.1) for x-mas and has had no problems connecting to our wifi until yesterday. It sees the wifi but when we ask to join, all of a sudden, it says "Incorrect Password for (wifi name)... " but i know it is correct. I've tried to enter it dozens of times but no luck. I've also asked other people to enter it but no luck there either. All of our other devices can connect with no problem so I know its really not the password despite the message. Our other daughter got an identical iPod touch at x-mas also and she hasn't had any problems connecting on her device.
I have tried to reset the network settings twice now. I have also forgotten the network & tried to rejoin multiple times - no luck. I've noticed none of the router or IP settings are showing on the device, even though that info does show on my iPhone 5s while its not connected. It's like it see's the wifi but it's not receiving any info.
Please help!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends 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:

- 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 5th gen won't restore

Hi
Brief background:
My sister got a new iPod touch 5th gen and decided to set a password on it, she then somehow managed to forget the password on the same day as she set it.
So I looked online (including on here) and it seemed I could just 'restore it' by putting it into restore mode (which I did successfully) and everything seemed to go as expected, until it had downloaded the restore file (iOS 6.0.1 I think) then computer said something along the lines "can't restore as password is on ipod" but all the website I see say that you just connect it up, put it in restore mode, and no matter what it will restore to original factory settings.
Am I missing something? Please help ASAP as she would really like it working again, and yes she has been told of for doing such a silly thing.
Additional information:
I have tired this 4 times, including one time just leaving it plugged in the whole time(instead of unplugging it when turning it off and plugging it back in when Turing it on [at start of recovery process])
It was disabled for 1 hour, have tired doing recovery process when disabled and when not disabled.
Both of the above still give the same "must enter password to recovery" type of message.
As brand new. iPod has not yet been synced with any computer, have tired Apples own ways for this and still get same type message.
Thanks a lot, hopefully there is a solution, or something (preferably simple) I am missing.

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.

My iPod touch 5th gen won't turn on past the apple logo, do I need to restore to factory settings? If so, is there a way to save my photos?

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen for a little over half a year now, haven't had any issues until now. Yesterday it randomly shut down, and when I try to turn it back on, the apple logo shows up but the iPod just stays on that screen, it doesn't turn on any further. I think I might need to restore it to the factory settings to get it to work again, but I'm concerned that I'm going to lose all my photos. I found the backup folder in my computer but it doesn't have any files in it. I have over 600 pictures on my iPod and I really don't want to lose them all. Is there a way that I can either get my iPod to work again without restoring, or a way that I can extract the photos without the iPod actually being in functioning condition? The computer doesn't recognize the device when it gets connected via the USB. Thanks!

- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
- Next 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.
and try making a backup again. If you can't then there is no way of getting the info off the iPod unless data recovery company can do it. Not cheap.
- If photos are in an existing iPod backup (iTune>Preferences>Devices for iTunes backup or an iCloud backu) then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

IPod Touch 5th Gen won't play videos in the camera roll?

I am trying to play videos I have in my iPod Touch's camera roll and it won't play them. What happens is that is shows its a video, shows the time in the video, when you click the play for the video it is paused, you can drag the slider through the timeline and it will go to that point in the video, but it won't play it will just be paused. I can hit the play button on the bottom all day and it won't play. I tried this on numerous videos and the same story. Now, I took these videos on my iPod Touch 4th gen over the past few years, and obviously put them on my 5th gen using the backup feature. These videos are of my daughter as a baby and I really don't want to loose these. Any idea on how to get them to play?

- Do they play on the computer?

My ipod touch 5th gen won't turn on or reset and my computer won't recognise it. It's 1 day old and all I did was try to plug it into the speaker system

My ipod touch 5th generation was purchased brand new yesterday. After charging it and loading my music i went to plug it into my icoustic dock which I got as a bundle with the ipod only to have my ipod screen go blank and now it refuses to turn on, reset or get recognised by my computer or itunes. I have the latests software as it was only uploaded last night. Should I be taking it back to the shop? Has anyone else had a similar problem?

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

IPod touch 2nd gen won't let me get Apps

Hi,
I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen that is operating 4.2.1, and it no longer has App Store, or iTunes. This means that I cannot download any apps or even access music downloads. I have synced with the newest version of iTunes, and the App section is grayed so I cannot access it there either. Therefore, my Touch is reduced to an mp3 player, and I didn't pay for an iPod to just play music! Any suggestions??

Sounds like Apps have been restricted. Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure they are turned off.

After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch. Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
Please help! This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
Thanks,
Carl
