Try a reset:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears.

    number of music plays on ipod touch won't update to itunes 10.5

    Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to this problem; however, I am experiencing the same thing. However, my iPod Touch is new. It will not play any of the DRM-protected content that I purchased previously; however, it will allow me to purchase content with my Apple account, so it is certainly "authorized," as it were. I guess I will try to reset it, but I doubt it will work.

  • IPod touch froze when using an app now screen has gone white and unresponsive

    iPod touch froze then screen faded to white now nothing works

    See Here...
    Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
    Try this First... You will not lose any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
    Then Charge for an Hour and try the Reset again.

  • IPod Touch Backup, when syncing with iTunes 9

    I have just switched to an Apple mac and now have a MacBook.
    I copied the PC My Music folder to the Mac and dropped it over iTunes and successfully imported my library into iTunes on the MacBook.
    When connecting my iPod Touch it asked me to confirm that I wanted the contents erasing and the current iTunes library syncing to the iPod Touch.
    I answered yes and this was also successful.
    My problem now is that when I connect the iPod Touch to the MacBook, it does recognise it and it does connect and it does start the backup before sync, but then the bckup runs very slowly and indeed so slow that it would take hours to actyally complete the backup if indeed it is working.\
    I've checked that files are indeed being written to the Mobilesync Backup area and they are, but it's too slow.
    Anybody got any ideas why this would be the case. My MacBook has 82+ GB free space and my iPod Touch is a 16GB device with 3+ gb free space.
    Please forgive me in that I am an Apple MacBook newbie, although I have been successfully syncing the device with a Windows PC for some time prior to moving to a Mac.

    Many thanks for your reply, however, it doesn't help me, because I have an iPod Touch with no camera and so the camera roll issue does not arise.
    The sync process doesn't get to sync either, since it is in "Backup iPod" status and would be for what would be many hours, possibly as much as 24 hours.
    Is this normal for a 1st Backup between a MacBook and an iPod Touch via USB to iPod cable provided with the iPod?
    The iPod is about 14 months old and the MacBook is quite new, i.e. just a few months.

    I have an ipod touch and recently performed the latest updates of itunes.  It said there were problems with my ipod and it need to be restored.  I did that and now it says it's in recovery mode and that I need to restore it.  It takes 45 minutes and I've tried it several times and keep getting same message.  My ipod is now unusable and it has a photo of a plug with an itunes icon telling me to plug it in.  It is plugged in???  I restarted the computer, tried another computer, reset my ipod and nothing.  Help!

  • Can you skip ipod touch backup when connecting to Itunes?

    I have two machines I sync my Ipod Touch to.. One at home one at work. I wanted to skip the backup at my work machine because it takes too long (I am very impatient) and I back it up daily at home. Is this possible?

    That is way to easy, why can't they make it harder
    Thanks that solved my problem.

  • My iPod touch froze while updating to iOS 6 over wifi, what do i do?

    I started updating my ipod to iOS 6 over wifi, and it just froze part of the way in to the update, and I am unable to connect to my iTunes account right now.

    Looks like you need to put your device into DFU mode:
    To put the device in DFU mode, connect the device to iTunes and hold both the power button and the home button down, after 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
    I hope that helps.

  • IPod randomly disconnects when updating with iTunes.

    Just got my 60 gig iPod video today, and have been having an aggravating time trying to figure out why the thing keeps disconnecting while updating.
    Basically, I selected some songs I want to update, and it will get through prolly about 10% of them before it will randomly just disconnect. When reconnecting, it will start all over from the beginning. It happens at random times, I have no idea what is going on. Any help?
    I've tried several different USB ports, all with the same issue.

    Did you figure this out? I am having the same problem. I have been unable to get an intial load of songs onto my iPod. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the software as well as restoring my iPod. Nothing has worked.

  • Syncing iPod Touch (with new update) to iTunes.

    For some reason, my iPod won't sync with iTunes. I'm not sure what has the problem but iTunes is saying I don't have the right driver disk or anything and it will sync for hours on end, not working.
    What could be happening?!

    If that Article does not resolve it... then you have a problem.
    Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

  • IPod Touch will not update when using iTunes Remote App...

    Hi all, hoping that someone can help here...
    I am using a couple of iPod Touch's to control my iTunes and Airport via the Remote App. In the main the whole thing works really well with wireless music all over the house via Airport and Apple TV.
    The main frustration is that the Touch's have stopped updating as the tracks change. This used to work but unfortunately didn't notice when it stopped.
    If I play anything, iTunes DJ, playlist etc... it appears that the first track is the one that displays unless I close the app and re-open.
    I can still play/pause/ffwd/rwd and it all works despite what is showing on the screens which is really confusing...
    The the two iPhone 4's and the iPad 2 work perfectly so am at a loss as to figure out how/why etc.
    I run iTunes on a WinXP machine, with iTunes 10.2.1.1 and the iPod Touch's are both running 4.2.1 (8C148). On is model MB533BT and one is MB528BT.
    Any help/suggestions greatfully appreciated.
    Thanks all

    UPDATE:
    Whilst I was typing this I noticed that whilst in the study both iPods updated with each track change for some considerable time. I do wonder whether there is something in this as the router was less than one metre away.
    I also then noticed that the one that stopped updating was the 8Gb model MB528BT. The other unit, the 32Gb MB533BT has continued to work.
    Completely flummoxed with this!

    2. Now press SHIFT on your keyboard and while pressing it click on "Restore".
    3. A dialog box will appear.
    4. Select the firmware you downloaded and click ok.
    5. Done!!! Your iPhone will now be restored to 5.1.1 and if you had backed up your iPod before, then you can put all its settings afterwards.

  • HT4972 I updated itunes to 5.1.1 then my ipod touch 3g to latest version but could not hear music from newly downloaded albums.  I then did a restore, backing up and sync, it took 9 hours. My ipod touch froze and I couldn't unlock what do I do?

    Can you help me?  I updated my ipod touch 3g to 5.1.1 and itunes to the latest version.  I then could not hear the sound with newly downloaded music albums.  I decided to restore, backup and sync which took 9 hours.  The ipod Touch froze and I could not unlock the slide bar nor turn it off.  The ipod is turned on and that is all.  What can I do?  Thanks for any help you can give me.

    try putting it into DFU mode...

  • I updated too the latest version of Itunes and my ipod touch froze up with a picture of a usb cable going into itunes on the screen

    I updated to the latest version of Itunes and my Ipod touch froze up with a picture of a usb cable and the i tunes logo

    Well the answer I gave you didn't solve the problem. Is the USB cable and the iTunes logo still on the iPod screen? You could start the "fixing process" by rebooting your computer, connect the iPod again, launch iTunes and see if anything happens.
    This article may prove to be helpful. there are many steps that you can try to get the iPod running again.
