Music App (iPad & iPod Touch)

Has anyone else who uses the Music App's Sort Artist to alphabetize artists by last name noticed this is no longer working? At least on my devices (iPod Touch & iPad 2) this function seems broken. Maybe it's just a setting I've neglected?

    how do i transfer the music and apps from ipod touch to iphone

    If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
    Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.

  • Can I transfer music from one Ipod touch to a newer generation Ipod touch?

    Can I transfer music from one IPod Touch to a newer generation IPod Touch?

    - No directly.  You have to first get the music in your itunes library on your computer and then sync the music to the new computer.
    - You can/should restore you new iPod from the backup of your old iPod to get app date and other things on the new iPod.  You will have to reenter passwords since passwords only get restore to the same device. The backup does not contain music so that has to be synced.
    - You can transfer iTunes purchased from an iPod to your computer by:

    - After everthing is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTune and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.  This will also update the iOS.
    If you update with having items like apps and music in the iTunes library, they will be deleted from the iPiod during the update. Se:

  • ITunes can't find apps on iPod Touch and doesn't sync album artwork

    Ugh.  Here I go again.
    I have an iPod Touch (4th gen), 2010 MacBook Pro, all the latest operating systems and updates. 
    My iPod Touch crashed a bit and so I wanted to sync it again (using the USB cable, not wirelessly).
    (1) Suddenly, there was no music on the iPod Touch.  I managed to get that fixed.
    (2) After a couple of syncs, I was repeatedly getting the message that the iPod Touch apps "could not be synced because the apps could not be determined."  A couple of plugging and unpluggings allowed iTunes to "find" the apps, but this is weird.
    (3) And now, what's bugging me -- and this happened a year or so ago -- very little of the album artwork synced over to the iPod Touch.  I have 600-800 albums.  All of the artwork is correct on iTunes.  About 10% of the artwork transferred over to the iPod Touch.  (Then I synced my iPad, and all the artwork is correct on the iPad.)
    If I remember correctly from last year, eventually -- after many successive syncs -- the album artwork made its way correctly over to the iPod Touch, and maybe I'll hope for that this time.
    Does anyone have a more direct solution?  Checking and unchecking some boxes on some syncs?  (It takes a good chunk of time to sync over my music, so I don't really have to time to delete and sync repeatedly just as shots in the dark.
    Any ideas?  All thoughts welcome. Thank you!

    Taking off all the music and then putting it back on took care of the album art, but I'm still getting all kinds of funky behavior -- iTunes can't find the apps, then it can't find the iPod altogether, and it's adding duplicate songs somewhere.  It said it was going to load 3,232 songs, but I ended up with more than 3,400.  Weird.

  • My games app in ipod touch version 4.2.1 (8C148) won't open at all!

    I have my ipod touch version 4.2.1(8C148). At first, I wanted to save more music in my ipod touch so I installed the latest version of itunes(10.6.1.7). I followed the rules on how to save music from forums in the internet. I made a playlist on itunes, and from my Music file I dragged my mp3's on my itune's playlist. I plugged my ipod touch and it appearred on the left side as Device. And from my playlist, I selected all and dragged them into my ipod touch.. and then click Sync below. (example: http://www.technipages.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/iTunes-Sync-button.png). After that, I also saved videos. The same procedures I did like on how to save musics. After Syncing all... when i opened a game app, it won't open. All of the game applications won't open! I don't know why. Help me!:)

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the second generation iPod touch and the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.
    If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    For the apps you had:
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • How to only sync my music to my iPod touch 8GB?

    I have an 8GB iPod touch I got a few years that I want to wipe clean and only sync my music, not my apps and other stuff that's on my ioad. I need to do a software update, but have no room available on my iPod touch, and can't plug the ipad into the car because the cord we bought at the dealership made for the car is to short for the ipad.

    Hey there Antonio7,
    You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod nano to your computer with this article:
    Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer
    Transfer your purchases to your computer
    Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple IDaccount you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
    If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
    To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
    Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
    Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
    Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
    ​​This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
    Then you can sync the music to your iPod touch in the same way you sync music to any device:

    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 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.
