IPod Video = no longer recognizes/updates purchased videos

I purchased a video from iTunes a while back and have since enjoyed it no my iPod. However, when I plugged my iPod in to update it last night, ALL of my videos/movies no longer appeared on my iPod. Sooooo, I updated it again this morning, and now it won't update a couple purchased videos. What gives?
I had to reset AND restore my iPod to even try to bring it all back. But still - no luck. SOME videos show up - but not a few others. Why is this?
What do I do now?

I forgot to specify that it is the Belkin TalkTunes STEREO device which is no longer recognized.

All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

How to retrieve apps after a complete iPod reset? The "App_Store Updates Purchase" tab isn't working!

Hey Apple Community,
I have a problem, but every problem has a story, so let me explain that first.
Let's start of by saying that I bought my 32 Gb iPod in February, 2012.
Over the course of the last 21 monts there have been about 370+ different apps on it (not all at ones of course). Of which I purchased about 26. I should also mension that my iPod hasn't been Jailbreaked at any point of time (I just don't trust it).
Yesterday, I wanted to put some new songs and video's on it. So I connected my iPod to my PC (I use windows 8). When I opened, It told me that there was a new system update (iOS 6.1.5). Because I 'was' in a good mood and had the time, I pressed "Download and Install". The updates usually take some time to install so I minimalized iTunes and opened FireFox (to check my e-mail and watch some video's). About 8 minutes later, I got a notification from Windows telling me that iTunes had crashed. At that point the update wasn't done installing. I restarted my PC (just to be sure) and opened iTunes again. It immediately openened a notification, telling me that there was a damaged iPod connected to my PC. The only option I had was to restore it, which would mean that my iPod would get reset to it's manufacture settings. You can imagine that this sounded disturbing. Fortunately it also stated that I would get the option to restore it (to the way it was before the update/crash) after the reset. This would be done using the automated back-up system of iTunes. I started the reset and didn't touch my PC nor iPod until it was finished (just to be sure). Then I used the given 'restore to old state' option (the just installed version won't chance by doing this). After finishing, I immediately noticed that all of the apps that I installed were missing. In total about 100+ apps (about 60-70+ games, 30-40+ remaining apps). However I did get my photo's back (which are now backed up), that's nice! along with my music and video's. The missing apps are reinstallable but the saves aren't. Imagion 21 monts worth of game saves gone in a flash for more then 60 games. Of the 100+ app there are about 30 that I really want back, however I am unable the recall all of the names.
So I went into the App_Store > Updates > Purchased tab. Here comes the real problem. The purchase tab doesn't load, it isn't even displaying the choice to switch from 'all' to 'not on this device'. I've tried some things to get is to work again: restart my iPod, log out and back in my iOS accant (in the app store) and a combination of the last 2 things. This didn't work however.
My questions are:
1) Is this problem fixable? If yes, how?
2) If not, what would be the second best option of retrieving the missing apps?
Thanks before hand,
Sebgear

TS1398 One IPOD will choose a network for wi-fi and the other IPOD will no longer recognize the same wi-fi in my home, why?

I have an IPOD touch that will no longer connect to my wireless router at home or anywhere else. The other IPOD touch is still using the router at home. The last time the IPOD was using a wi-fi was a week ago at a school to text a message.

What to do if you drop your Ipod and the top half of the screen is off and the ipod will no longer recognize your figure when you touch the screen

So I dropped my Ipod on the floor and the top half of the Ipod came off and the screen will not recognize my figure when I try to swipe it to unlock the screen what do I do. But keep in mind that I have no money to fix it so how do I get it to work again?

Likely because the drop broke something like the digitizer.

ITunes takes sooo long to update iPod

So why does it take my iPod so freaking long to update? I may add an album or two, along with some artwork for some older albums, but when I update it to my iPod, it takes hours.
iTunes will eventually state "OK TO DISCONNECT" while the iPod says "DO NOT DISCONNECT".
It won't eject if I click on the arrow next to my name, so I've been yanking the cord from the base.
My iPod is an 80GB video. My third iPod. Is it just me or is iTunes/iPod going waay down in reliability?

IPod Touch no longer works with car stereo after 4.0 update

I updated my iPod to 4.0 a couple of days ago, and my Hyundai Santa Fe's built-in iPod interface no longer recognizes my iPod's music - it just says "empty iPod" or something of that nature. Is anyone else having this problem?? What should I do?

Add me to the list. Brand blankety-new ipod touch that after 4.0.2 wouldn't work with the Subaru-factory-installed ipod connector in my '08 STI. The shut-it-off-and-restart-in-the-car method at least made it able to play music again but still no recharging.
To add insult to injury I did the have-an-Apple-GENIUS call me thing. The first thing was that they called me....for about 1/4 of a second. The phone blipped for less than a ring and then I got an email saying, "Oh, we TRIED to reach you and you weren't there. Why don't you call us?". So I called and was immediately put on hold. When one of the geniuses finally picked up, I described the issue with great patience and his insightful answer was, "let me put you on hold while I talk to my supervisor." So I sat on hold for five minutes until...they just hung up...no answer, no, "gee we think you're SOL"....just "click". Thanks a boatload Mr. Jobs.

IPod Touch Won't Recognize USB Cables

My 4th gen iPod Touch no longer recognizes my USB cables. They won't work through my computers and they won't work through a wall charger. My iPod charges fine through my JBL Sound Stage, it's just a problem with the cables. If I plug either cable into my iPod, nothing happens. No beeps, no messages, no charging screen, nothing.
I think I can pinpoint the problem until shortly after I purchased a spare cable, but that may very well be a coincidence. I've been using a third party wall charger, so that could be an issue as well- but it has never been a problem until after I purchased the new cable (can cables "burn out"?). I'd reset my iPod, but I need a cable to do that. So far I've just been charging via my JBL Sound Stage and syncing over WiFi.

If you have tried multiple computers and multiple USB sync cables, that definitely points to a hardware issue with your iPod Touch. Have you check the dock connector port for any signs of damage or debris that could be blocking or preventing the connection? Take a can of compressed air and trying blowing it out and using a Q-tip or similar to clean the contacts.
You'll likely need to have the iPod serviced or replaced. If still under warranty, take it into your local Apple store and see what they can do for you.

TS1363 Updated to iTunes to latest version 11.1.4.62 on my Windows 8 machine. iTunes no longer recognizes my 5th Gen Ipod. It does however recognize my 80gb Ipod Video. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as directed (twice) & rebooted pc. no luck.

I just updated iTunes to the 11.1.4.62 (as the pop up directed me to) on my Windows 8 machine. As a result iTunes will no longer recognize my 5th generation Ipod Nano (yes two). I receive a pop up saying "Ipod has been detected but could not be identified properly" I've followed the recommendations seveal times: a) disconnected and reconnected. b) rebooted computer c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes d) tried different cables e) tried different USB porst f) rebooted Ipod.... the window keeps popping up like a middle finger (you get the point)
iTUnes WILL however, recognize my 4th gen Nano and my 80gb Video (classic) without problem
Needless to say, I'm frustrated and ticked off over all of this wasted time.
Anyone solved this issue yet?
Any good suggestions?
Please advise
Kindest regards,

c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

IPod Video 30gb - seen in windows, not in updater or iTunes

Hiya guys,
I have recently bought a 30gb iPod.
When i connect it to my windows machine - it recognises the
iPod in my computer but not in iTunes or iPod updater. I
have gone through all the steps suggested on the
apple/support section of the website and nothing has
helped. I have downlaoded the most recent iPod drivers from
the apple website as well. It seems as though the iPod is being recognised as a standard disk drive. The iPod seems
to be working on my mac - but I would much prefer to use
my windows machine.
Any ideas with what i should do next?
I would really appreciate any ideas
Thanks
Josh

Josh,
I wish I had an answer for you, but I have the same situation (30gb video recently purchased) and have gone through all the suggestions I've found so far with no luck.
Also, randomly I get an exclamation error "itunes cannot read the contents of the ipod 'Daz's ipod' use the ipod updater to restore the ipod to factory settings"
The updater has not helped at all. Very dissapointed with ipod and support at this time.

60GB iPod Video menu disappeared after update

I just received my 60GB iPod yesterday. I downloaded the new software update from Apple and updated it. After I did that the Video option on my menu disappeared. I still have the video in itunes but it is not on my ipod anymore.
HELP! New user and this was a main purchase reason. Thanks for any assistance.

I have new ipod video and had issues so I used the updater that was included, dated 6/05, I now have a ipod video with software version 1.2 and it thinks it is an older ipod photo only. Now that it is installed in the ipod the updater assumes it is an older ipod and restore doesn't work (except to restore it to version 1.2) I am so frustrated I could scream. Apparently the new updater 10-05 is ok, as it would have restored to the correct software but now, it's too late! any ideas? What I need is a restore function that puts back in the version 1.0 software for the ipod video, but there is no such thing.

Any news of updating ipod photo to ipod video

guys.. is there any news about updating ipod photo to ipod video in the future??? i'm so darn pis$ed after looking at the ipod video... i have an ipod photo 30 gig and i just feel that it's really unfair for other ipod with colour display users!!!!!!!!!!
anyone here would be kind enough to calm me down!!

Bryan,
posts like this are in my opinion quite inappropriate and immature. I can agree on the fact that at the time of purchase the iPod purchased was exactly to specifications, but if a day/week/month later you can get more (10 GB and video capability) for the same price would you not feel cheated in a certain way? Just imagine it happening with anything other than a technological advancement and imagine it happening to YOU.
Anyway, it would be a very nice gesture for us Apple iPod enthusiasts to be provided with a firmware upgrade if the technology of their iPods is capable of handling videos. I for example am a Windows deciple, but as with everything, having listened to the right reasons, was contemplating to convert to Apple. Let's see how they handle this issue going forward.

IPod Video, cannot restore or update.

My new iPod worked 1 time. The first time I loaded the software that came with my iPod, I was able to downloaded music to my iPod. Since then, I am not able to update my iPod with iTunes or with the software in my iPod.
I now cannot update or restore my iPod. iTunes does not recognize my iPod. When I try to retore or update, I get an error message that says, iPod service error. Sometimes, wrong iPod service, error message. I am not able to use the software that came with my iPod or iTunes for assistance. Geeeeezzee
God, 1 more thing. I tried to use the chat with support. the questions it asks was, what model? They didn't display my iPOD. Idiots. Another wuestion was, supply the serial number. I gave that from my equipment. I get an error message, Apple does not recognize this euipment with thye model. My god folks. Help!!!!

I purchased a new laptop recently running Windows Vista. I immediately downloaded The latest version of iTunes. I have no problems purchasing or importing music. when I attach my 80g Ipod video to a usb port on my laptop, iTunes doesnt recognize that the Ipod is even connected. I had no problems before when I synced my Ipod. Please help.

Take a look at this web page and see if it helps:

Good luck.

IPod video won't update

I just purchased an 80GB iPod video about a month ago and I plugged it into an old (iPod mini) wall charger and now it seems to only rely on that. It says it charges (when plugged into wall), but it doesn't charge, just makes it able to use, but not charge (as if the iPod had no battery). Now, whenever I try to plug it into my computer, it does nothing. It doesn't charge, update or even turn on. Any suggestions?

i think better claim your warranty...
ipod like that usually have big battery problem...
battery is actually "dead"(that's their term...)
