Ipod touch will not play music on Apple TV

I have recently purchased Apple TV. For the most part i have no issues. However iPod touch will airplay video to Apple TV but no icon appears to airply music. Mucsic and video will airplay from my iPhone 4 and my iPad, but iPod touch's gen 2, 3 and 4 will only play video. Can someone help or refer me to a post where this has been resolved?
Thanks in advance.

I have had the same issue since getting the iBooks 1.5 upgrade.  Now whenever I go into iBook my music just fades out and stops as if I opened a program that will be using the audio.  I have tried the back up and reset, etc. to no avail. 
The funny thing is that I can open an App like Angry Birds where I have the audio muted and music will continue playing.  Seems as if it is a bad update to iBooks.  My iPod Touch is the 8GB from the prev generation, not sure if that would matter based on the App.

  • My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

    My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
    How do I fix this?

    The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
    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.
    - Unsync all music and audion book and resync
    - 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: 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.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the 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.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo

    My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo (unless the battery is dead, Then it tell me to charge it).  Once it gave me the connect to itunes screen.  I clicked restore in itunes but the ipod went back to the apple logo before the update download finished. I tried calling apple but my over the phone technical support just expired. PLEASE HELP! 

    This can be a corrupted software/firmware on your iPod touch. If the recovery mode you did was not forced, then try to force it into recovery mode. This is how:
    1. Force it to shut down (note: this sort of shut down should not be preformed unless you are in a situation like this because it is a hardware shutdown and will not attempt to unload software, save unsaved files, safely stop system processes, etc.) to do this, hold down the power/sleep button and home button for about 7 or 10 secs. Also I might be incorrect but I heard that you can just hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes blank and then immediately let go.
    2. Have iTunes running. Hold down the home button and plug the USB cable that came with your iPod into it. Keep on holding on the home button until a picture of a USB cable going into the iTunes logo appears. You are now in a forced recovery mode. (In case your not so tech-savvy forced recovery is the same as a normal recovery mode that an iPod might do if it knows an update or restore failed.)
    3. iTunes should have shown a pop-up message about it found a iPod in recovery mode. Click OK, click your iPod from the sidebar and click restore. The iPod will show the apple logo for a while and iTunes will say "preparing iPod for restore" and then "waiting for iPod" this was the longest part of updates for me.
    4. iPod will reboot when restore is completed. When I update my iPod it one time showed the apple logo for one whole sync until it showed the slide to unlock screen, so do not worry. P.S if that does not work do a DFU mode restore ( I've been told DFU mode stands for device firmware update mode) I'm running out of room, so google it. Hope this helped ;)

  • Ipod touch will not sync. music is still in itunes, but ipod is now empty!

    ipod touch will not sync.  it was restored to empty and now itunes will not download.

    What does the error message say?

  • My iPod touch will not play or charge on my non apple dock since the software was updated,why is this?

    My iPod touch used to play and charge in my non apple dock but now will do neither. Looking back it appears to have stopped working when the software was updated to 5.1. Why is this?

    There are two sides to this.  On the one hand, an Apple upgrade bricked your dock and that bites. On the other hand, Apple can't be expected to design around 3rd party devices that don't follow the specifications. We don't know why Apple made this particular change that bricked your dock so it is difficult to judge whether or not there was a good reason behind it.  We also do not know why AIVN didn't follow the specification but it was probably cost related.
    Note: If you sell the iPod, you'll still have a non-functioning dock.  You can sell it to someone with an older iPhone or iPod that can't be updated to iOS 5.1.

  • PLEASE HELP! My Ipod touch will not play anything from or in itunes.

    I don't know what to do. For the first 4 months everything was great then all of a sudden my Ipod would no longer play anything from or in itunes. I can not transfer anything from itunes to it either. It looks like it has been transferred on the ipod and in itunes under my device but it will not play anything. I can download directly into the ipod and its fine.  I listen to audio books from library sites as well as buy them but now it does not work unless it can go directly in the ipod which library sites need to come from your computer and them be transferred after its downloaded.  Can anyone help me?  I even have a brand new ipod thinking it was the other one but its not. I have windows 7 64 bit. Also I have uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing changes. Thank you.

  • IPod touch will not sync music

    I have my ipod touch 4g plugged in by usb to the computer.
    It does detect it, but when I press Sync, it will update everything including transferring purchases.
    It will transfer Music purchases, but not the other way around.
    iTunes will not put music in its library into the ipod. (shows up in itunes library but not on ipod)
    The notification bar thing at the top will say Syncing "ipod" and then determines which apps and music to sync.
    BUT IT WILL NOT ADD THE NEW SONGS.
    Another note is that the bar that shows the storage of the ipod: Audio 6.6 gb
    i press sync --> Audio 7.5 gb --> (wait for a minute) --> somehow reverts back to Audio 6.6gb (see pics below)
    The notification bar will revert back to an Apple logo and doesnt do anything.
    I tried many things: reinstalling iTunes, hard reset of ipod, etc. (except restore, which i will not do since it wont sync music)
    I have all the latest updates to all my stuff.
    Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
    PICTURES:
    before sync
    upon pressing sync
    after syncing

    I'll try Restore but I was doing some testing and this issue only affects PURCHASED MUSIC FROM ITUNES.
    I deleted a song from both ipod and itunes and readded it through "Add a file to iTunes..." and it worked for music that I get from CDs and internet but NOT THE ONES ON ITUNES.
    ^ just a good note to put down and yes i'll try a restore when i have time.

  • Ipod Touch is not playing music through doc.

    Ipod Touch (3rd gen) is not playing music through doc.  No problem until yesterday.  It still works fine off doc but as of yesterday it will only either charge (most of the time) or play music (rare), Not both.  Also the message "accessory is not supported by ipod touch" periodically shows up on the ipod touch screen.
    My other daughters ipod touch (2nd gen) works on this doc as normal.  Also, both of these ipod touches still work on my 2nd daughters stereo doc normally.
    Both are on software 4.2.1

    Look into the dock connector on the problem iPod.  Look for dirt, debris, bent or broken connector and other abnormalities.  Compare with the working iPod.

  • IPod Touch 4 not playing music after iOS 5 Update. Help?

    Like most people, I too have been having issues with the new iOS 5 update. After installing it, everything is perfect... except for the fact that my iPod only seems to play songs I have in an m4a format now. All of my other songs in an mp3 format will not play. The other thing is, when I play a playlist and such, the song I select is skipped and goes on to the play the next song in the list. My iPod was working perfecting before the update. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!

  • My ipod touch will not play anything.

    When i tap video or music, or even apps it will come up to a white screen for about thirty seconds then close out and return to the home screen. I really want to listen to my music and other things but its just not happening. I have everything updated, and all media plays on my computer. The screen is also slow to repsond to touch. There is at least one.something mega bites left of free space. I dont know what the problem could be. help?

  • New Ipod Touch will not play in BMW

    I have a new Ipod touch that I bought from Apple. My 2010 BMW 128c will not recognized this Ipod touch or my wifes Ipod touch. It will recognize the one I bought my son at Best Buy. It also would not work with my previous BMW X5. I am using the adapter cable that came with the BMW. I work for BMW and they don't have any ideas. Is there a setting on Ipod touch that I need to turn on.

    The problem may very well be the OS version you're using (3.0 or later). There were many reports of problems when Apple introduced 3.0 and it has been a problem ever since. In my case, when I changed from 2.2.1 to 3.0 my '09 Honda Fit lost the ability to select Artists, Playlists, etc. (but at least it plays). I was able to step back to 2.2.1 for awhile and it functioned correctly, but I decided to go back to 3.x once I realized that Apple wasn't going to fix this, and I wanted some of the 3.x features. I recall seeing that BMW, Mercedes, and a few other accessories were affected.
    If your son's Touch works OK in your BMW, what OS version does he have? Chances are that it is version 1 or 2. You can blame Apple, but it may also be accessory manufacturers not following Apple's standards -- we'll never know, but one thing for sure is that this issue does not have Apple's attention since the problem remains after multiple OS releases since 3.0.

    - 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 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.

  • My iPod touch will not play any sound or audio

    I was listening to music, and my speakers made a weird high pitched sound and now i cant hear any sounds or audio. I can go on music and click play but it will not work, neither will any other kind of sound! it wont work with headphones on either. I tried restarting it numerous times, and i left it off overnight hoping that it would come back. I talked to a guy at apple and he said to do a backup, and that didnt work either! hoping someone can help, thanks

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    - 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.

  • Safari on iPod Touch will not play WAV voicemails

    Our campus voicemail system is accessible through a web browser and plays back its audio in WAV format (using the GSM6.10 codec). If I use Safari or Firefox on OS X it plays the voicemail, but when I use Safari on the iPod Touch it tells me that it "cannot play movie: Movie could not be played."
    Wouldn't it make more sense for a mobile platform to support as many of the .WAV codecs as possible, especially if the desktop OS already does?

    I worked with another person a week or so ago and the issue is the limited mobile Safari version support for playback.
    However, the touch MAIL program has no problems playing WAV files.
    What I suggested the OP do was set up a Gmail account and set their touch up to download that Gmail account. They then forwarded the email with voice mail to their Gmail account and were able to play it back.
