Ipod touch music"No content "

I have Ipod Touch 4G 8gb jailbroken iOS 5.1.1. when i open music library it's showing me No content from today.There was 200+ songs till yesterday when i switched off my ipod.i have also tried reset and restore from backup couple of times but nothing happens!! But there is 2.2 gb space showing in others in itunes.so my songs must be there. what should i do to recover my all songs. If i do restore to factory setting all my installed apps will be deleted . Pls give me some good suggestions .

Jailbreaking frequently causes problems and voids the Apple warranty. It also means that you will not get support from Apple, including from this Apple forum.

awesome121, he does not an an iCloud account. You need iOS 5 or later for iCloud and the poster said he has iOS 4.

hi! an error message showed on my device last week and Apple support helped me restore the software on my device. Syncing went well and all my apps were available after. However, when I looked at my music in my device, it did not contain anything. The songs were in Itunes on my laptop and when I tried to play them they did not play. But, it says music is available for my account in the cloud. When I switched to the cloud, I was able to play my music already. But everytime I synced, the music from the cloud are not transferred to my device. Most of the music that I have are from other sources. How do I download those again to my device? I tried what I did before which was to copy the song from my laptop then edit paste it to iTunes but this did not work like before when automatically it becomes available on my device.
pls help. thanks!

I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

Ipod touch music problem

i went to go add this one song onto both of my ipods, one being the ipod touch 5.0.1 i guess, and the third gen ipod nano. When i added the song to both of them my nano has all the songs including the new one into it while my ipod touch music has been erased all for one song. How do i get back the songs from my itouch, can i restore it? Now when it tells me when i click on the music library on the itouch from itunes it shows me all the music i once had but when i go on my itouch it only has 1 song.
further information, i have my nano then i got my itouch.

go to the itunes app and got to purchesed
in purchesed go to music and this is a hard task but click on the cloud on the songs you want and they will download

I upgraded to 4.3.3 and now my iPod touch music won't shuffle. When I press shuffle it keeps replaying the same song over and over.

There are two arrows below the time a song is plays. One is circular (repeat) and the other has two arrows crossing each other (?). The one going circular needs to be pressed to turned it off.

My iPod touch shows no content for music and/or videos or downloaded apps after I upgraded to IOS v5.1.1

I downloaded the latest version of ios for my iPod Touch (v5.1.1) and my music, videos, books, and purchased apps don't appear. In the settings it shows I've only got 9.1 GB of space available out of 28.4 GB (my iPod is a 32 GB). Also, on the iTunes summary page for my iPod the usage bar at the lower portion of the page is all yellow showing 'other' when it use to be multi-color showing what content (apps, video, music, etc) was using up the capacity individually. When I click on the device icon (left side of the window) it indicates all of my music, apps, video, books, etc are on the iPod but they don't show up on the actual device. Also, the sync button (lower right on the summary page) is "greyed out" and won't let me sync. Thanks in advance. Terry

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" included corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Corrupt iPod touch music library

I've got the following problem: i've added songs to my iTunes library, then i have synced it to my iPod touch.
Some songs just disappeared on the iPod, other have lost their album artwork. I removed these songs and synced again.
After some reboots of the iPod the problem seemed to be gone, but i connected the iPod to iTunes and a message appeared:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "xxx". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings"
I don't understand why it happenned - the faulty songs were bought on the iTunes Music Store.
After this message some other messages appeared - the screenshots are below.
Do I need to restore? I really think it is weird because of the message saying that "the software required for communication with this iPod is not installed".
It is a Mac: isn't it integrated in the system core?
Thank you

My specs are: iPod touch 4G, iOS 5.1.1, Mac OSX 10.7.4, iTunes 10.6.1 (64-bit)

Yes, you may have to restore. something happened. Sometimes things just happen for no reason and the problem never comes back. Sometime it is due to a hardware probem.
I would first disconnect and reconect the iPod. Also close and repen iTunes
Also reboot the computer
Also reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
All before you restore.

IPod Touch music not accessible in iTunes

My brother's new iTouch shows up in iTunes (not the newest version, the previous version) on my PC, but there is no "expand" triangle next to the name.
When I double click on it, it does not open up to show the content, and nothing can be played from it, or loaded onto it. He claims he has connected it to someone else's computer and it worked fine, and he does have music on it that he plays through the headphones.
I don't think it is MAC formatted, or else it would not even show up in my iTunes I think.
BTW iTunes works fine with my Nano.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Check "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab. This will affect how music and videos are syncing to the iPod touch.

Backup iPod Touch music to computer without adding it to iTunes Library

I would like to backup/copy the music and books from my Mom's iPod Touch to my computer without mixing it in with my personal library. I basically want to move all of the iPod Touch's content to a folder on my harddrive ("Mom's iPod" or whatever). I have already created a backup in iTunes, but it is my understanding that the iTunes backup does not back up the music or books. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Based on the recomendations by lllaass, I tried 2 different programs. Both were selected because they were free:
The first program I tried was SharePod. This decision was based on CNET & user reviews. It worked great for moving the music from the iPod to the computer, was easy to use, and was free; however, it is limited to music (it had a photo section but it did not see the one photo on the iPod so I was not able to test the feature). If all you need to move is music I recommend this solution.
After I realized there were eBooks on the iPod, I had to find a second program to back them up. I used Syncios (again based on CNET & user reviews). This also worked great for backing up the eBooks, and I was even able to backup the apps (all were free apps, but I thought I would test the feature anyway). I did not try to backup the music because I already backed it up with SharePod, but I would imagine it will work as well as the books & apps.
**BEWARE** when installing Syncios: the reviews stated the install adds malware. To avoid the program installing additional software, make sure to select custom install and uncheck the additional programs!

How do you sync iPod Touch music library to iTunes Match for transferring to/using on main computer iTunes?

Hello, and thank you for any help anyone can offer. I subscribed to iTunes Match to transfer my music that's been stuck on my iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) to my new computer.
First, some background to explain my problem. On an old laptop, I had 15,000+ songs (mostly video game music downloaded online) that I synced to my iPod Touch. The computer containing that music started having trouble and likely died. I was unable to afford having it looked at, but all the music from it has remained on my iPod Touch.
Recently, instead of trying to have the old computer fixed, I bought a new laptop. I was looking for a solution to get the music from my iPod Touch onto my new computer, since I know syncing with it would cost me every song I have on the iPod Touch that I didn't download on iTunes Store. I thought iTunes Match was the solution, that it would bring the music on my iPod Touch to the iCloud, and I'd at last be able to download my huge library onto the new computer from there.
Now, the problem: I had to purchase the iTunes Match service on my laptop iTunes. It put all my purchased music from the laptop on iTunes Match. Well, when I go to iPod Touch and try to turn on iTunes Match, it says: "iTunes Match will replace the music library on this device." I assume if I do that, it'll wipe out my 15,000+ iPod Touch songs from my old laptop and replace them with the 1200 or so that I've purchased from the iTunes Store (which I already have on my iPod)!!! That is the last thing I want to do! Is there a way of getting my iPod Touch library to the cloud so I can access it on iTunes, or have I wasted $25 on iTunes Match? If I wanted to replace the 15,000 songs on my iPod with the little library of purchased music on my new computer, I would just plug my iPod into it and sync! Furthermore, my purchases were already available on the iCloud when I authorized this new computer, without spending a dime. I've put a lot of time into my library, and making playlists as well. Any help getting my iPod music on iTunes Match is greatly appreciated! Sorry if I've overlooked something obvious, this is my first experience with cloud-based services.

iTunes Match does not work this way. The service does not scan the music on an iOS device, only an iTunes library. For your music to be available in the cloud it must first be in an iTunes library. See the following articles:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
An iOS device or iPod is not a storage device or backup of your music library. It is your responsibliity to maintain a backup of your music and other personal data.

IPod touch music dissapears from album view and other things

I'm honestly suprised to the fact that my old iPod video works better on this factor than the iPod touch I upgraded to.
My problem lies in the fact of syncing makes my iPod decide certain things stay on Album view and dissapear from it. To give an example:
Before sync - Album of Disneyland Music is still together on album view and nothing has vanished.
Add in another song to the compilation of music on the album for easy listening.
Sync iPod
Album of Disneyland music has vanished completely and only the new song added in is viewable in the album listing.
Don't think that it's gone competely. I've searched and the music is actually in the iPod, just not in the albums listings. It's everywhere else listings on the iPod.
This has irked me ever since I bought the thing since another issue that just drives me up the wall. With my iPod video if I listed the music under an album it'd be sorted into the album with no problem. With the iPod touch however if ONE thing is off it gets sorted into its own lisiting on the Album view even though it shares the same Album title with another song. Example:
Old music that doesn't get recognized has to have information added in
Albums are correct
Artists are correct
Sync iPod
Album listing has multiple listings from the same album with the artists as its sorting spot. (or if it even showed up at all...)
I've tried multiple times to fix this and nothing works. (and i've checked and unchecked sort by album artist, no dice.) I attempted to contact an iTunes help as it was partly on the program's fault, the helper didn't understand what I was talking about. Can anyone help me here?
and no I can't resort to my iPod video as I've killed the selection middle button thanks to a game. That and it also had an issue with connecting and I kept having to refresh it.

I looked in Compilations and the album that's vanished from Album view isn't in there. I checked via Artist view and the songs are there so the music is in the iPod but it's being a little wise sucker and not showing me the album in the Album view.
I fear for the videos I have to put on my iPod for class reference today...

Is it possible to have a playlist on my ipod touch without the contents of the playlist appearing in the main library?

I want to put lanuage learning files on my ipod touch, but don't want to listen to how to say "where is the bathroom?" in another language while playing through my main library. Is it possible to just keep files on a playlist and not in the main library?

No, but if you are in the habit of listening to your iPod in Shuffle mode, then set the language files to Skip when shuffling.
To set Skip when shuffling, highlight the track in your iTunes Library and click on File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling and then Sync the iPod to the Library.
Note that if you select a single track, the Skip when shuffling is a tick-box. But if you select multiple items, the Skip when shuffling option becomes a drop-down menu where you choose either Yes or No. Even if that option says Yes, change it to No and back to Yes. This ensuures that all tracks you have highlighted are set to Yes.
Another option is to create a separate Playlist that includes everything except the language files. This will require you to manually add any new songs each and every time you buy new songs.
Alternatively;
you could even create a Smart Playlist to automatically add all the new music but to exclude the language files. To do that, set the Genre of the language files to "Language" (or similar) and then:
Make sure you are looking at your entire Music Library, not just one part of it or a Playlist.
Click on File/New Smart Playlist
In the line that appears, change "Artist" to Media Kind (from the drop-down menu)
The next two boxes should now show is and Music. If not, change them so that they do.
Click on the + box at the end of that line (this will add a new line)
Change "Artist" to Genre (from the drop-down menu)
Change "Contains" to is not (from the drop-down menu)
In the last (empty) box, type in Language or whatever genre you have given to the language files. Make sure it is typed in exactly as it is in the files.
Click OK
Rename the Smart Playlist as you want.
Sync the iPod with iTunes.
Note that this Smart Playlist will automatically add any new music to it. You do not need to add new songs yourself!

IPod Touch music vanished

I have an iPod Touch which I've used reliably for the last three or four years. I was using it four hours prior to writing this post, in fact. When I got home, I plugged it into my computer so I could start listening to music from my iPod Touch and my computer hung up inexplicably and I had to hard-reset it.
Here's where the problem occurred. I booted my computer back up, and started iTunes to resume listening to music from my iPod. I double-click on a song, and a circle with an exclamation point pops up next to the song. This happens 3 or 4 times and I assume it's iTunes acting up so I do a search online and find people talking about a "glitch" where iPods are forgetting music. At first I didn't think this was me, because I had JUST been listening to music off my iPod on the bus back from work not an hour before this. However, when I tried going onto my iPod to see my music, at FIRST my music was starting at one song, and then frantically skipping through. 1, 7, 15, 29, 53, 109... etc. All the way to the last song, and then repeating the process. I turned my iPod Touch off, unplugged my USB cable, closed iTunes. When I turned my iPod back on, it didn't have a single song on it.
The weird part is that if I connect my iPod to my computer (which I just uninstalled and re-installed iTunes just to be sure it wasn't an iTunes issue), iTunes can see all of my music on my iPod. Every single song, all of the data whether it's the play count or the rating or the date added / modified. iTunes can see and show all of it. However both my iPod AND my Computer (meaning if I look at my iPod as a disk drive in My Computer) say that it's practically empty.
I don't know what to do. I refuse to pay $35.00 to request a "support ticket" because an automated service told me that my serial number is not covered for support, and I find it appalling that there is no email service to contact Apple's Customer Support. I do not have access to a great deal of the music on my iPod as I manually manage all of my music and some of it has been acquired through friends I no longer communicate with, so I am reaching out to anybody on here, whether it's a legitimate Apple Employee or a very knowledgeable hero, so that I don't lose 30GB of music to a spontaneous glitch.

Assuming the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer:
- 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.
- 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. This delete only apples to iOS 7 and maybe 6 and later so it may not be applicable to your iPod.
- 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.
