Ipod touch NOT SYNCING ANY MUSIC, even when plugged in and "syncing"

I press sync, and it skips syncing music. I try backup restores, and it worked the first time, yet now I restore to multiple previous versions and it deletes certain songs that weren't on before, and it has lagged once it reaches a certain song, and then stoppes showing me the "error 50". I have no idea what to do. I suspect it might have something to do with my computer which has a virus, and malfunctional charger, and has been slow lately, not allowing certain programs to run like my mp3 downloader software. God forbid if it's my computer. Help.

I would try:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may have to reinstall Windows since sometimes a a virus can't really be removed and a fresh install is required

Make sure you have signed-in your iTunes and authorized the computer.
Go to iTunes menu EDIT > PREFERENCES > DEVICES tab and check the Box "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically then OK.
As long as you don't sync your devices, iTunes will not wipe out music from your iPod. Now connect your iPod and do the Purchase transfer only.

Restore the iPod via iTunes.
Place the iPod in Recovery mode if necesary to allow the restore.

Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My phone turned off over night and will not turn back on even when plugged in. Is there anything that I can do?

If you've left the phone plugged in for at least a half-hour with no results, then try holding power and home buttons simultaneously to do a soft reset (settings) only. If that doesn't work, try seeing if iTunes will recognize the device and let the computer charge the device.

Ipod touch not showing any songs but playlists work.

Ipod Touch 4th Gen.
For a while now, when I went to "Songs" it showed "No Songs", even though playlists still worked, and songs showed on the computer when I synced. If I pressed for "Albums" or "Artists" they would show briefly and then kick me out to the main icon menu screen. Following guidance elsewhere, I went into settings and changed the language, then went into music, then back to settings and changed back to English. For some wierd reason this has worked to restore songs and artists, but when I try to access the album menu I'm kicked straight back to the main icon screen.
Anyone have any idea what's happening here and how I can access the Album menu again?

HT204368 iPod Touch not pairing with a device, when it did yesterday

I was able to connect my iPod Touch to my Samsung soundbar yesterday via Bluetooth. However, today I am having problems. the iPod recognizes my device but when I try to connect it keeps saying "connection unsuccessful, make sure device is turned on and in range". I reset my network settings and even reset all settings on my iPod. I turned it off and back on, turned the Samsung soundbar off and on and still no luck. I have an iPhone as well and that bluetooth is connecting successfully to the soundbar everytime. When I try to connect the iPod, I make sure my iPhone bluetooth is turned off. I just keep getting the same message everytime, that the connection is unsuccessful and it is driving me crazy! Is anyone else having this problem? My software is completely up to date and it is fully charged. Again, it was working just yesterday.

forget this device
and at Samsung end power off ,unplug what ever to kill circuits of bluetooth

My iPod Touch won't turn on even when I connect it to the computer.

About a month ago, I lost my ipod 4th gen, and I got it back yesterday morning. Before I lost it, it was at less than 20% battery life, so I knew it was going to be dead. When I got home to charge it, my computer wouldn't recognize the device. I tried doing the home/lock button thing to no avail. I held the lock button for five minutes without any response. The stupid thing has been plugged into the computer for the last day or so, and nothing is happening to it. I really miss my ipod... Can anybody help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

80GB ipod Classic not showing any Music loaded on it

I have an 80GB Classic Model No A1238. Suddenly the ipod has stopped showing any playlist or music that was there on it. But the ipod shows 56.4gb used and 17.9GB Free which means it still has the data but in the summary it shows Songs 0, Videos 0, Podcast 0 etc... How can i recover the music and make it appear ? Will i have to restore the ipod or there is a way recover ? Please help.

Sounds like the iPod's file system and databases have been corrupted possibly due to a damaged/failing hard drive or failed sync operating with iTunes. So yes, the only way to try and recover is to restore the iPod to factory settings.

IPod touch not showing all music

My ipod touch is not showing all of my music in 'songs', which I assumed showed all music on the device. I have about 7 Third Eye Blind songs on here and I can find all of them using the 'search ipod' tool, but only 2 of the songs show up in the music app. This is an example. I have about 1000 mp3's on the device but only about 300 or 400 of them seem to be visible unless i do an OS search for the individual file.
Also, the device is not showing file names correctly. I assume it looks at 'tags' or something for the info. well, this is really annoying. It should show the file name because sometimes i rename files to find them easier.

I think I at least know now why music isn't showing up. It looks like the songs not showing have id3 v1 tags in the file. I'm using mp3tag to batch convert all songs to id3 v2.3.
Nice to know i've gone all this time without hearing a large percentage of my music.
I say either develop better software for detecting ALL mp3 music or get rid of this stupid 'tag' thing altogether. I highly doubt the latter is possible, so..

You can't sync without a backup taken.
Try to delete the ipod backup, it seems that iTunes can't read it anymore. Before you do, make sure to back up the folder, in case you need it again.
The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After you backed up the folder, delete the backup from the list in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Then try again to sync.

My ipod touch battery keeps losing power even when switched off

Why? What can I do? Change the battery?

I believe I have the information you're looking for, in return, please repond to the thread saying if it's useful or not.
The iPod Touch can lose battery under several conditions:
1. If the Touch is left in the USB cradle, disconnected, the wires can leech current, reducing charge.
2. Heat can significantly reduce a battery's charge, so keep your unit away from the sunlight or other heat.
3. Leaving your Touch with the wifi on will tax the battery, even if you're listening to tunes. Make sure the unit is completely disconnected and turned off.
In short, make sure your Touch has wifi completely turned off, keep its cool, and disconnect the Touch from the USB cable or cradle.
