IPod Touch ios 5.0.1 update music backup restore issue

i recently updated my ipod touch to ios 5.0.1 and after the update itunes restored my ipod and all of my apps but my music was not restored. I resynced to itunes and it says that all of my music is on my ipod but it isn't showing up. Thanks in advance

Me too. The OTA update was going along and then when I checked back later, I had the connect to iTunes screen. iTunes said I had to restore, (which took two attempts to finally work) and then had to sync back all my apps, etc. At least my last backup was only 2 weeks ago. Three words in IT, backup, backup, backup. Seems the phone is working ok now.
Hopefully, Apple can duplicate and address. It really makes updating a pain when it takes an hour or two just to update the iOS with a patch. The next time I'll probably wait for a more important update, make sure I have a current backup and plently of time to watch the grey bar march.
I have an iPhone 4. The update to 5 went smooth so I wonder if the OTA had anything to do with it.
My iPad 2 update to 5 and even 5.0.1 OTA went smooth, whew.

  • 2G iPod touch. Itunes can't update, can't restore

    I've been getting random app crashes on my ipod touch and wanted to to first try a restore, and if that didn't work update to 4.1.
    When I click the Restore button, there are two progress bar in sequence:
    - Extracting software
    - Verifying ipod restore with Apple
    And then an error message:
    "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Any idea why or what I can do to restore.
    So I tried to do an update. But I get this message:
    "This version of iTunes (9.1.1) is the current version"
    This message make no sense for a reply to pushing the ipod update button. Is there something wrong with having the latest version?
    Any info or help on eother of these problems?

    2nd gen 8GB ipod Touch V 3.1.3

    Thanks,

    zdevine,
    I have a g4 mac mini running 10.4 (Tiger) which won't run iTunes 10. And you need iTunes 9.2 to upgrade an ipod to 4.1.
    Strange, that software update says 9.1 is the latest for 10.4, because I discovered a 9.2 installer on some download site.
    I downloaded 9.2 from this non-apple site and installed 9.2 no sweat. Then I could upgrade the iPod to 4.1. There may be fewer app crashes on the iPod, but a lot of things seem a lot slower.

  • I have an 16 g ipod touch that doesnt want to update n backup takes forever

    I have a 16 g ipod touch that doesnt want to update to the lates firmware, i really want some help please . The back up takes for ever n i dont even think it reallly even backs up my ipod. My itunes is up to date and everything i dont know what to do. please help

    Try moving the existing backup file to a new location so iTunes has to create an entire new file.  That file is located here.  You may have to have show hidden file turned on. It location is given here:

    However, at the current time I get this error message:

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks for any help!

    - Have you reset your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

  • TS1702 Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset. Now I can't get most of my apps back because I can't download version 5.0. I paid for some of these apps.

    Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1.  I did a factory reset and now I can't get most of my apps back & can't download version 5.0 which I need to get back some of my apps. I paid for some of these. I've tried my backup and it didn't put them back on.

    If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
    When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)

    and lot of games required 4.3 and above
    please give the solution.............soon................

    You can't. The hardware on the 2G does not support an iOS higher than 4.2.1. You have to either:
    - Live with not being able to install a lot of newer apps/app updates
    - Purchase a newer model iPod

    i have model a1367, 8gb, 4th generation ipod touch.  how do I update it from ios 4.2.1 to 6 or more?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for a fourth generation iPod touch.

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Both my iPod touch and wife's iPad2 updated to iOS 6.
    They both say they are connected to the wireles, but Safari and all Internet apps say there is not internet connection.
    Both our MacBooks connect fine to the Internet.
