IPod Touch OS 4.1 Upgrade Issue!

I went online today to download and install the new Os 4.1 upgrade for my Apple Ipod Touch. I have a 16 gig Ipod touch.
I had got a warning by installation saying "All media, calender, contact, text messages" will be erased, and then it recommended 'backing up'.
I performed a backup and a sync before I downloaded the upgrade, the upgrade took about thirty minutes. After the upgrade I noticed all my MUSIC was gone. I also tried restoring my IPod, and it also prompted me with a message saying "A previous IPod has been synched with this computer", so I chose 'Set up as new IPOD', but still nothing. and I looked everywhere online for answers and I couldn't really find any questions similar to the one I have now. I need to know how to get my Music back. and if I chose the right settings?
I have over 1200 songs and I am looking for help, and Thank you again!

Music/apps/vids are not included in the backup that itunes does:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
You should always maintain a backup copy of all important info/music/pics/docs/etc.
Ipod touch will sync to one computer. When you sync to another it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases

  • Ipod touch 1st generation w/ upgraded software

    I have an ipod touch 1st generation w/ upgraded software.  I bought the game Angry birds to play, but when I click on the icon, it turns black as though the game is going to load, but it doesn't instead it goes back to original screen.  Any suggestions???

    - Try resetting the iPOd.  Nothing will be lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  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 try deleting the app and redownloading/installing the app.

  • My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

    My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Hi everyone i have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last long for more then hvvour. what should i do?

    Hi everyone,
    I have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last for more then two hour.
    what should i do? it is seriously big problem.
    Please help me.......

    This is a general comment, not directed to anyone, and not to be taken personally by anyone.  This ongoing screw up with the new upgrade (5.0.1) is getting to be a **** SHAME.  In no way can APPLE or anyone else for that matter not know by now that the upgrade is terribly flawed.  The Ipod machines themselves are super great products, and I enjoy mine to the max.  However the upgrade once applied ruins it.   And at least, not to my current knowledge,  there haven't been any fixes forcoming. 
       In my opinion Apple should own up to that fact and warn folks that, even though the upgrade was presented with the best intentions, IT JUST AIN"T WORKING.  And not to download it until further  notice. This noticication could be done through the retail sales outlet, online, what ever.
      I liken this to a pharmaceutical coming out with a new vaccine, encourage everyone to use it, then discover it's bad to the degree it causes it uses to become sick.  Rather then pull the vaccine they keep on allowing unsuspecting ones to continue to vaccinate, and become sick.  What a shame!

  • When will ipod touch get a camera upgrade?

    When will ipod touch get a camera upgrade?

    We're all just fellow users here and as such have no idea when Apple may release an upgrade to the iPod touch and what such an upgrade might include. Sorry, but we'll all just have to wait until such time as Apple announces something new.
    Regards.

  • IPod Touch not recognized since upgrading iTunes to version 11.1.4

    After upgrading from iTunes version 11.1.3.64 to version 11.1.4.64, my iPod Touch will no longer be recognized in iTunes (but is recognized by my computer - can view drive). I've restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service and the iPod Service with no luck. I've also tried a system restore but the restore point was not early enough (was post iTunes upgrade). How do I revert back to the previous version of iTunes? I have Windows 8. Thanks.

    Hey BobDLT,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. The following article outlines some great troubleshooting steps for this issue. While you may have already attempted some of these steps, I see that there are some that have not yet been attempted. It might be a good idea to run through the entire article:

  • Windows 7 64 bit, iPod touch 2nd gen, iTunes sync issue

    I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and am frustrated to death. I have spent days wiping out my iPod trying something different an only to start all over again. I am not a n00b to computers and only ask because I only find a trail of tears and none of the problems I see look specifically like mine.
    I have been following this issue since Feb 2010 and notice reports that are sort of similar back to Jan of 2009. Anyway here is my problem.
    iTunes will recognize my iPod touch 2nd Gen. iTunes will "sync" apps and data. iTunes will not sync movies, music, books, or software upgrades.
    I get an error code that changes depending on what I am trying and seems to lead to no where. I can't honestly remember the code anymore.
    I can sync with this same computer using Windows XP 32 Pro win a VirtualBox VM, but can not do it directly from within Windows 7. So hardware and drivers are not the issue. I reinstalled iTunes with a Vista 64 bit install that I found online which appeared to work temporarily then ultimately I ended up back where I started.
    I actually switched to Windows (from linux) because I got tired of the VirtualBox method. Quite ironic that I am still facing the same issue.
    On top of the not being able to sync properly from Windows 7 64 bit. Everytime I try I have to put in hours of work to get my Ipod back to working order as iTunes only allows you to sync with one computer and is slower that snail poop in January. In order to try again I have to be willing to commit to the problems that I am most likely to encounter.
    So my questions are
    1. Does anyone have a clue why Apple has not fixed this issue? or is there a solution I don't know about?
    2. Is there an easier way to attempt a fix that does not require me to re organize my 70+ apps on my iPod?
    P.S. I do not have an intel based chipset as that seems to have been an issue for others. I have
    ASUS M2V VIA K8T890 AM2 Mother Board
    CPU AMD|A64 X2 4600+
    VGA EVGA GF 7300GT
    Have tried direct to MB USB and through powered Hub

    Are you sure that you downloaded the 64 bit version and not the 32 bit version?  I would delete the download and try again.  You also might want to look at the iTunes forum since youu have an iTunes problem and not an iPod problem.

  • IPod Touch with Composite AV Cable: Issues

    I purchased the new $50 composite AV cable when it was released a few months back. I've been using it frequently with no real issues (whenever I play a video, my iPod recognizes that it is connected to a TV and prompts me to choose whether or not to display the video on the TV). However, as of this week it no longer prompts me, and I cannot find a way to manually select "TV Out" without first being automatically prompted by my iPod. I recently installed 1.1.3 with the January upgrade. The only other thing I can think of that I've done differently recently is that I used the composite AV cable to charge an older iPod model, which I had never tried before, but I doubt that would have any affect on the cable itself. Anyone else having this problem? Why is there not a manual "TV Out" option for the iPod Touch to avoid this issue altogether?

    I havent had any issues with my Apple AV composite cable. Ive been using it for the last month or so and has also worked since the 1.1.3 firmware and software upgrade. I suggest you call apple tech support you have a 1 year warrenty on those cables.

  • IPod Touch 8GB (4th Gen), upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 now not syncing

    I upgraded both my iPod touch and my iTunes software to the latest. I realised I was not able to sync so I restored the device and wiped it clead using the restore option. Restarted and renamed the device and set it up as a new device in iTunes but I am still not able to sync my music nor movies nor apps. I need help to figure out this issue as I can only install new apps via WiFi, I cannot transfer anything using iTunes as sync button is always grayed out.

    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch does not appear under Devices in iTunes after you connect it to your Mac, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions here:

  • Trying to get my ipod touch (1st gen) to upgrade to ios 3.1.1

    Trying to get my ipod touch to upgrade to ios 3.1.1.   I get an error message 8288

      Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
      “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
      Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!
    Tiffany
    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

  • App gets stuck on start-up screen at launch iPod Touch 5th Gen - full disk issue

    Can't do anything. IPod touch 5th generation.
    thoughts?
    This is all that I can see...
    A couple more notes... I have the latest version of iOS and 2.7GB of free space.
    I have rebooted to release memory and it still gets stuck on the intro screen.
    Are there any users out there who have this working on a 5th Gen iPod Touch?

    Hi,
    there are some users that have run into the same issue, we have not been able to reproduce this issue which means that we need your help.
    If you could give us the crash logs that would help a lot, they are available at the following locations on your desktop once you've connected the device to it:
    OSX: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/DeviceName/PSTouchphone....log
    Windows: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\DeviceName\PSTouchphone....log
    The known workarounds are:
    Uninstall and reinstall from iTunes with USB (normally works)
    If that doesn't work the only known workaround is to upgrade your iOS version.
    Did PS Touch always behave like this on your iPod? I.e. - when did you first install and start PS Touch?
    If not can you recall how you installed PS Touch the first time?
    Over iTunes or AppStore? And do you recall how you updated it?
    thanks,
    Ignacio

  • I recently purchase a tv episode from the iTunes store, however, can not download to my IPOD Touch.  Apparently, a format issue, any suggestions

    I recently purchased a tv episode from the iTunes store.  However, I can not get the tv episode downloaded to my IPOD Touch i.e. can not sync movie although music works fine.  From what I read it is an issue with the format of the episode.  The format is HD and apparently is too much for my IPOD touch.  According to the documentation, the SD format for the episode should have been downloaded at the same time as the HD.  I have the latest iOS for my IPOD Touch, 4.2.1 and latest for ITunes 10.5.3.3.  I am using my PC with Windows 7.  I can not download directly to the IPOD Touch since access to the clous is required i.e. iOS 4.3 or higher.  Any suggestions? 

    My suggestion is for you to do the downloads overnight.   

  • ITunes freezes when iPod touch 4G is connected + other issues.

    I've seen a lot of people struggling with this problem and I'm afraid I got stuck with the same issue. I'm not sure when it started, but I noticed any time I connected my ipod touch 4G to my computer, iTunes freezes almost immediately. When I disconnect, it goes back to normal (most of the time) and displays a message that says: "An ipod touch has been detected but cannot properly be identified."
    I tried reinstalling iTunes 5 times, all of which it comes up with what I suppose is an installation error. When I click ok on the error, installation continues as if nothing has happened. There's also been an update for iTunes but it won't download. (Note: my laptop runs Windows 8.1).
    On the website, it says iTunes is 64-bit but when I download, it runs 32-bit. I don't know why this happens (I'm not exactly tech savvy) and I don't know why iTunes freezes. I also cannot manually restore my iPod as a lot of people suggested as my home button is stuck. I'm out of options unless someone saves me... and my need for my music. I've been through many forums and nothing worked.
    Can anyone help?
    Side note: my ipod also seems to be going through USB chords like nobody's business. It's not negligence on my part, yet they always start causing my ipod to say "charging is not supported with this accessory" then completely stop working. I had one that barely lasted a day! I'm fed up with all these problems and hope someone can help.

    Thank you,
    Pretty much all of the posts in that link deal with PC problems, drivers and bios stuff. Since I am running on a Mac, I don't think there is much I can do to deal with those kind of issues.
    I don't seem to have any other problems with USB connections to other devices, and my iPod does work with iTunes for at least a short while after I wipe it and start over. This leads me to believe it is less of an USB issue and more something to do with software on either the iPod and iTunes. I am beginning to suspect either something with an App or using the onboard iTunes Store to download content that is somehow corrupting the iPod.
    In the past, I had problems with the sync taking an inordinate amount of time to back up, which after months of research I learned that it most likely had something to do with downloading an App from the App Store on the iPod in the early days of the App Store (A problem I was never able to eliminate despite numerous restores, due to the corrupted App being re-loaded every time I used the backups. I WAS able to eliminate the problem after deleting and re-downloading all of the Apps when I nuked my iPod). My problems with not being able to sync happened shortly after I downloaded an App from the App Store (something which I refrained from doing due to fears of corruption!).
    I dunno, any thoughts on this?
    P.S. I am still waiting for an answer as to the fate of the content I downloaded on my Ipod. If I restore my iPod without transfering the purchases, are they ultimately lost?

  • Ipod touch 2.1 software upgrade problem

    Hi so i have a first generation ipod touch and i have bought the 2.1 software upgrade but now it is saying that in order to upgrade i have to wipe all content currently on my ipod.
    This is a problem because I do not have all the files that are on my ipod on my computer, so if i upgrade then i will lose most of my music and videos, but i do not want to waste my money because i paid $13 for the upgrade.
    Is it possible to upgrade my ipod without erasing my content?
    any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    not from about from 1.x to 2.x but mine came with 2.0.0 and i used all upgrades untill this 2.1 and i only sync'd my ipod touch 1 time
    the rest of the times it does a restore and upgrade and restore the restore
    if it's different from 1.x to 2.x then there
    are programs you can manualy copy out your media before the upgrade
    try using search or google as i dont know their names
