ITunes-iPod touch problems, can't add music to my iPod

When I plug in my iPod to the computer and start up iTunes, it says it must be set up when it already is. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, but it still says this very same thing. What's going on ?
My iOS is 6.1.3 on a 4th gen iPod touch.
I have 3 cloud backups and 1 iTunes backup available.

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • HT1420 Can I add music to my iPod that woz not bought from iTunes?

    Can I add music to my iPod that woz not bought on iTunes?

    Yes. Import it into the iTunes library, convert it if needed, and sync the iPod with that iTunes library.
    iTunes will not import or convert protected WMA or WMV content.

    Open iTunes on your computer and select "Add to Library."  Then sync it to your iPad.

  • No matter what I've tried, I can't add music to my iPod. help?

    The computer I usually use to add music to my iPod is broken, so I was trying to use a different computer in our household. When I plug in my iPod touch, it acknowledges that it is plugged in and everything. Then when I try to put music onto it, it goes through the motions of adding music, but when I look at the music section of my iPod, there is no music, and on the computer screen it says that it's on the iPod, but instead of having the names in black the song names are all in gray.
         I've also paid for the iTunes Match service, but when I enable it and look at the music section on my iPod, it never loads the music. It just comes up with an empty loading bar that never fills. I do have music in the Cloud, but it doesn't come up.
    I've tried backing up to the new computer and syncing to it, but it still doesn't add music.
         If anyone can help, I'll name my first born child after you.

    I had the same problem.  It was because I had maxed out my iPod's capacity.  Once I deleted some things off my iPod to free up space I was able to drag my songs onto my iPod without any problem.  Good luck.  Hope this solves your problem.

  • HT1495 Can I add music from one iPod to another without losing music on the first ipod

    Looking for a way to add music from one iPod to another iPod without losing music on the first iPod ... Please help

    iPods are not backups or data transfer tools.
    Move the music from the computer where it exists to the computer where you want it.
    Then sync the music to the iPod.

    Hi Catherine,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    There are several ways to get music on your iPod, you'll have to enable the Manually manage music and videos to drag and drop. The article below provides more information and will walk you through the process.

  • I can only add music to my iPod manually

    I just restored my iPod because I got myself locked out. I have a 5th gen iPod touch with the latest software, the latest version of iTunes, and I have "Manually manage music and videos" unchecked. But when I click "Sync," it goes through the process but doesn't synchronize my music. I can still manually add songs to my iPod. It's like it's stuck on manual. Can I fix this?

    Have you looked on the Device/Music pane and made sure that Sync Music is ticked (checked)? Until Sync Music is turned on, then a Sync will not put music onto your iPod.

  • HELP!!! I can't add music to my Ipod!! :(

    I have an iPod touch 4th Gen (iOS 6.1.6) and i have been trying to add music to it since yesterday. I have connected the iPod to my PC (Running on Windows 8.1) and when i try to add the music via iTunes (iOS 12.1.2) i get a box pop up saying "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPod "Nics iPod touch" because no songs in your iTunes library can be played on this iPod".
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes, Restoring the iPod through iTunes, Setting the iPod to manually add music, changed the "convert higher bit rate songs to..." I've also checked the music format against what can be put on the iPod..... nothing is working. It also hasn't asked me to trust my computer which i always get when i plug my iPhone in?
    Anyone any ideas as i'm losing the will to live!!!! :/
    I should also point out that the music is showing on the iPod on iTunes but its all grayed out and has a dotted circle to the left of the music?

    First:
    Next:
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Helpppp My Ipod Will not connect to itunes via my computer, but when i plug it into my laptop it connects but doesnt have all my songs on the itunes library. How can i add songs to my ipod via my laptop

    ??

    Nothing should be lost.
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
    See the Using iTunes Section Here...
    How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    NOTE:
    The 2nd Gen iPod Touch can only go to 4.2.1

  • 2 Ipod with different Itunes accounts...can't get music from other ipod

    I tried finding a similar thread but no luck....
    My boyfriend has an Ipod and an Itunes account w/his old computer, which he no longer has. I have an Ipod shuffle that I have an Itunes account on my own pc. Whenever I plug in his Ipod to my pc to read/upload music it says his ipod is already linked to another Itunes account. If I chose to sync his ipod he will lose all his music? Is this true? Also whenever I plug in his ipod it recognizes it but does not show any of his music? Is this normal? I just want to be able to access his music on my pc?? Any advice will help?

    There is a chance everything will go. If nothing is seen from his iPod on your iTunes then I don't believe anything is on it anyway. Usually you can still see the files, but are unable to play them.
