Ipod Touch 5th Generation has songs on it that are not mine

When my "Show All Music" setting is toggled to ON, my Ipod Touch 5th Generation will have several songs I don't own or recognize that is mixed in with my music. These songs are not downloaded to my device, but somehow the Cloud thinks that I own them and has them stored for me. I have checked my ITunes library on my computer but it doesn't show these songs there either. Where did these come from and how can I get them removed?

Are they the free U2 songs that Apple pushed to your for free?
If so, to remove them
Remove U2 Album
Otherwise:
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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. See:                                               
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • IPod touch 5th generation skips songs and stuck on sync

    I just bought a brand new ipod touch 5th generation today after my little over a year old 4th gen had an issue with software affecting the battery.  Now, after syncing my library to the new ipod, and updating to ios 7.0.3, there are songs being skipped and when I try to sync, it gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied."
    I am so upset because I spent so much money to replace one faulty product with another. 
    Does anyone have any information on how to fix this problem? 

    Troubleshooting songs that skip
    - 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.

  • My two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation has a faulty earphone socket

    Hi guys,
    I have a two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation which has developed a faulty earphone socket. When I plug in my earphones, the music is distorted if I have the volume over halfway. I also use it to supply all the background music for church every week and I am struggling to get a good mix with it turned down so as not to distort. The situation is that it was a gift to me and the person who purchased it in January no longer resides in the UK and now cannot find the original receipt. However, someone did tell me that as soon as I switched on the iPod and setup the Wi-Fi and GPS, it sent information to Apple??
    Question's are, is that true? Will Apple repair it without the original receipt?

    I have checked the warranty details online as you suggested and it says it is under warranty until the 7th January 2015. I then tried to explain what the problem was, but it kept asking me to enter my telephone number but as this is a USA website, it did not recognise my telephone number, also that the stores that I could take it into were all in the USA. Have tried to see if there is an UK option on the site, but as yet, no Joy.

    hello, my ipod 5th generation has a broken screen, and also the inner lcd seem to be faulty also, anybody has an idea how much it cost to fix or replace it with apple?

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for a 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • After updating my iPod touch 3rd generation to IOS5 some default apps are not working (anymore)

    Hi,
    I updated my iPod touch 3g from IOS 4.x to IOS 5 last week and since then my iPod makes troublle!
    First of all, during the update I did not see any Problems. After the update, I mean the step where the data will be restored to the iPod, I synchronized some APPS at the same time, maybe that was a big mistake. My iPod makes hard resets many times in a loop until it frozes.
    So the only thing I could do here is pressing the home button and the power switch at the same time until it gets rebooted. The sync started again and it looked like everything runs fine.
    As I tried to use iMessage first time I realised the first Problem: I am unable to loginto iMessage with my Apple ID. My Apple ID runs fine, I can by Apps and so on. I also enabled iCloud to see that my Apple ID is ok. But logging into iMessage I put in my Apple credentials and Password, click on next, wait 3 seconds and the screen flips back. So this feature is not working.
    Next issue I see is that randomly my iPod hard resets itself. Even if I don't do anything with my iPod I can see that it resets itself, booting with the apple icon. This happens minimum three times a day... (Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV), Kern_INVALID_ADDRESSat 0x00000000)
    Today I tried YouTube, an internal Application which I cannot reinstall. It's not working anymore, starting YouTube says: Unable to connect to YouTube!
    I have no clue whats going on here because email and web is working fine.
    In my eyes I would like to reset the whole device to a state before running IOS5 and I would try the update again. But my Question is how to reinstall IOS5?
    If IOS5 will not run smoothly on my iPod, I would prefer to backref to iOS4x.
    Is there anyone who could help me out here?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Found the rootcause. The battery was damaged and unable to have enough power to keep the device alive. After changing the device problem is solved.

  • Just upgraded to an iPod touch 5th generation. I've noticed that the device wont stream videos online As my last device did. The play button appears, i tap it, the video loads, it begins playing, then stops around 2 minutes in. It is NOT my Internet.

    Like i said, the iPod is brand new. It works great in all aspects. But I frequently watch movies online with my iPod. Since i have upgraded to the fifth generation, this is almost impossible. The video begins to play and then freezes as if it is buffering. But the video never plays again. It is impossible for me to use my movie site to watch movies anymore and i am very disappointed.

    Sounfs like a network problem.
    Try
    - When connected to another network          
    - 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

  • My iTunes has songs in duplicates that are not actually duplicates.

    How do I get it to stop showing those songs?

    Hi,
    Would you please expand on your problem. Duplicate usual refers to the exact same track - same artist / same song name although live versions would be shown as duplicate with studio version. I usually have to add "live" to track title.

  • My ipod touch 5th gen has frozen

    my ipod touch 5th generation has frozen. it will turn on, but will not let me slide across to put in my passcode. also, i cant turn it off as you have to slide across the screen to power it off. HELP!!!! the ipod is also fairly new as i got it in january and it has never been involved in water or height accidents .

    If not successful, try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • Should i upgrade my ipod touch 5th generation to iOS 8.0.2?

    so far i have the iOS 7 latest update for my ipod touch 5th generation. However, i noticed that iOS 8.0.2 is released. i know that the first iOS 8 update crashed a lot as well as decrease speed, and i'm not sure if the new update fixed it. Would my ipod still function at the same speed?

    I upgraded all my devices to iOS 8 with no problems except slightly faster battery drain.
    Note that some users always have problems with any iOS update so just because you hear of problems does not mean it is any worse than other update. It is not worse than other updates.
    iOS 8 does included some better security features so I would update

  • IPod Touch 5th generation front-facing camera has stopped working

    After updating to ios 7, my front-facing camera has stopped working on my ipod touch 5th generation. I have tried doing a full restore to factory settings, resetting data settings, turning it on and off, and all the basic things. Here are a few pictures:
    This is with the rear-facing camera, it works just fine.
    Now this is the front-facing camera:
    When i try to use the front-facing camera, the screen goes like this and the camera app freezes, i can't switch back to read camera or anything. Other applications like snapchat don't have a button to switch the camera.
    It's like the camera app is detecting that the version of ipod has a camera, but it can't seem to find it. Btw, i live in Australia and am an apple developer.
    I like srsly need to get my front camera working. Thanks
    I am also using iOS 7.1 beta.

  • IPod touch 5th generation deleted over 2000 of my songs

    Hi. I rarely resort to forums like this to fix a problem but I can't seem to find anyone who's had the same issue.
    Today I connected my iPod touch 5th generation to my Windows 8.1 PC to sync some songs onto it. I ripped some of them from a CD, others I got from Home Sharing with my brother. I tried to sync 12 songs to my iPod. At first, it looked like 8 of them had synced correctly, not greyed out or empty bubbles. I tried to add the rest and they refused to sync. All the songs from Home Sharing refused to sync to my iPod.
    I tried something I normally try after an issue like this occurs - I select all the songs I've downloaded/ripped/gotten from homeshare and right click and select Create MP3 Version. I have my import settings as MP3 because I have other devices that also use my ripped music. I deleted the original versions after the new copies were made and moved them to recycle bin. Deleted the greyed out songs from my iPod and all the ones i'm trying to resync, and put the new versions on. It got stuck on syncing for about 20 minutes, making me late for something so I canceled the sync, ejected it, and unplugged it.
    Got into my car, plugged my iPod into the AUX cable on my stereo, and my iPod started skipping all of the songs I had put on. I tried another playlist to see if it was corrupted music files, and it does this for nearly every song on my iPod. I have a 64GB iPod touch, with over half the space still empty. 3760 songs. I put my iPod on shuffle to see if it would play anything, and it quickly skips about a hundred songs at a time, whether play or pause is selected, and won't stop till it gets to a song that decides it wants to play. I plugged it into my computer when I got back, and it tried to put 670-something songs back on my iPod, so I figure hey maybe it'll fix itself. Nope. Now when I open up my music app on my iPod it says I have 909 songs, and it won't sync new songs to it. I have tried soft resets. I take care of this iPod. Never dropped it, dented it, or anything. No damage of any kind this iPod is my baby. It is just freshly out of warranty and I also have music on here from multiple computers as we have 4 computers in my house and my old laptop which no longer functions due to a hardware error and there are some gaps between my iPod library and my iTunes library, so I haven't tried to restore it yet because I'm trying to save my music. At this point I feel a restore from backup is my best option.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
