IPod touch sync not working

I got a free download of an album and it's in my iTunes on my computer but when I sync to my iPod Touch, it doesn't appear in the iPod's library. I do have it set to update the complete library when syncing. I also bought an album yesterday through the iTunes store and that has moved onto the iPod Touch. When I click Get Info on the songs, they are all stored in the same place on my hard drive. Any ideas why the downloaded album isn't transferring to the iPod?

Hi cza123,
Welcome to the Support Communities!  I can't tell you why the free download didn't sync to your iPod touch automatically, but I can tell you how to re-download it from the iTunes Store. Here are the steps:
Download past purchases - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2519
Download previous purchases on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Make sure your iOS device meets these system requirements:
iOS 4.3.3 or later
You need iOS 5 or later to download items to iPhone (CDMA model).
iBooks 3.0 or later to download books
Music
Tap Settings > Music and make sure Show All Music is on.
Tap the Music app.
Find the item that you want to download.
Tap the Download  icon.
Cheers,
- Judy

  • HT1296 Ical on Mac to  Ipod Touch Sync not working!

    Hello again,
    Please direct me if this issue is being discussed somewhere else.
    I have a few issues.
    1. I want to connect my ipod touch wirelessly and when I try it says "Sync will resume when "PC 1" (My old PC) is available. I have no access to this PC and want to now sync it wirelessly with my new Mac which I have authorized etc etc. I don't understand why it won't sync wirelessly? I've gone through step by step guides and clicked all necessary settings.
    2. The main thing I want to do is sync my Ipod Touch (5th Gen) and my Mac Book Pro's Ical. I can type something on my mac and it appear on my ipod after using USB sync but NOT ipod and it appear on my mac which is what I originally wanted to do. Again, all settings have been ticked and double checked.
    The overall goal is to get it to sync over wi-fi as shown on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr7iN_53A28 at 0.40 however for now, as this seems impossible I'll settle for trying to get USB sync to work first.
    Many thanks in advance if you can think of any solutions to my problems

    You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. First you have to connect the iPod to the new Mac and via USB and make the Mac the new syncing computer. See:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    Then you can set up wifi syncing.

    See here: iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    Note that if none of the suggestions resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced or replaced.

  • My iPod Touch is not working with Bose SoundDock.  How can I fix it?

    My iPod Touch is not working with Bose DoundDock Series II.  Can anyone suggest how I can get these 2 to work together?

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                                      
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79 Y can do the exchange at an APple store or sent it in.. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

    My Ipod touch does not work properly.When i charge it,it only works for 5 min.n gets discharge.I showed it to the apple store in banglore n the person told me its fine n It is working properly.Bt its not working properly.Can someone help

    If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem.  I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

  • My ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP, my ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP

    My iPod touch is not working at all,i did everything i could and still it doesnt work,i live in the philippines my idea of solving this problem is to send it back at Apple California we do have service centre here but i dont trust them,i dont know what to do,I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP

    Quite possibly.  It wouldn't hurt to try another one if at all possible. If you have to, borrow one from a friend.  It could also be due to debris in the docking port of your iPod.  Take a look on the inside of the port and make sure there is no lint or anything like that.  Also look for broken pins as they would definitely cause connection issues as well.

  • My 4th gen ipod touch will not work in a philips or Sony docking station

    I bought a philips(DC320) clock radio and my ipod touch would not work in it.  Thinking it was a problem with the connector on the radio I returned it and bought a Sony ICF-CS15ip because the store was out of the philips radio.  When I plugged my 4th gen ipod touch into that again my Ipod touch would not play through the radio but the radio would recognize and charge the ipod.  I tried my daughter's 2nd gen ipod touch in the Sony and it worked great.  So It looks like there is a problem with the my ipod.  Sony claims that the ICF-CS15ip is compatible with the 4th gen ipod touch and I have the latest IOS 5.1.1 on my ipod.  Any suggestions before I go to the Apple store?  The Ipod is only 6 months old.

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd.
    That has worked for some users.
    However, sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility. In that case yo have to wait for either Apple or the dock manufacturer to issue a firmware update.
