Music is not transferring to old iPod Touch from iTunes.

Music is not transferring to old iPod Touch from iTunes.  iTunes recognizes the iPod.  I've gone to File>Devices>Sync and File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  It shows that it is downloading, but once complete and I go back to check, still not there in either case. 
Also, I updated my Windows XP laptop with the new iTunes 11, all the music is there from before and even added a couple more CDs (thought it was all on the laptop).  I turn the laptop off, come back next day, music is all gone and is now found in iCloud.  I didn't want it to be transferred to iCloud, but I must have missed a checked box or something.  Any idea on how to un-iCloud all of that music that should still be on my laptop?  Otherwise, how do I Home Share from iCloud (Windows XP) to iTunes on Windows 7?
As for Home Sharing, it's hit or miss.  I found where you are to hit the Alt button to access Home Sharing on my Windows 7 laptop, it worked 1 time and now I can't find the Home Sharing in the Playlist Section or Music, nothing.  Really?!?!  Come on Apple, can't you do better than that!  I'm getting really frustrated here!  It seems I can only Home Share to my Windows XP laptop, but not vice versa - XP to Windows 7.  Really?!?!
Anyone have any ideas on how I could possibly get this all to work?  Btw, isn't iCloud suppose to automatically download to your iPod anyway?  Well, it doesn't.
Frustrated!

Do they play in iTunes?
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
- Try unsyncing and resyning

  • I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

    I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

  • I got a new laptop and now all my music will not sync to my iPod touch. How do i fix this??

    My old latop crashed and now i am using a laptop from work. i signed into my apple account. I downloaded 4 cds to my iTunes, and restored and updated my iPod touch 3rd generation. i tried syncing all the music on my account to my iPod, and it will only sync 48 of 600 or so songs. The 48 songs are from the 4 CDs. How do I get all of my previous music which does show up into my iTunes music library to sync to my iPod. HELP

    While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

  • I downloaded apps and they are not transfering to my ipod touch

    I have downloaded a bunch of apps but they are not showing up on my ipod.  They are showing up in my library but not on my ipod.

    Connect your Device to Computer. Select your iPod Touch under "Devices" on the left Pane. On the right Pane, select APPS tab.
    Make sure SYNC APPS box is checked. Scroll through the Apps and check the box of those newly purchased apps.  Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right Window.

  • Can not watch movie downloaded to Ipod touch from Itunes

    Hi,
    I am very frustrated; have talked to Apple 3 times now. I have purchased movies from Itunes and synced them to my Ipod. When I look at the movie photo in the display it reads "Invalid" and when I tap the movie picture the message says Movie can not be viewed. I loaded a SD movie. I have the updated Itunes 9 and I recently installed Itunes again. Can anyone help me??? I purchased the unit in July of 09 (16G). I have "Erased all content and settings" hoping that would help. I am able to purchase and sync Apps and music from Itunes to the unit but can not do movies. I am not able to play the purchased movie on my computer either...just a blank, black screen. Can anyone help? thanks,

    i've had to download an App called 'air play it' just to listen to my mp3s while im in the living room because i can't send mp3s to my iPod Touch.
    'air play it' only acts as a streamer though so i can't copy songs from my Mac to the iPod Touch.
    thanks

  • How to add music to my iPod Touch from iTunes 11?????

    I can't seem to drag and drop music files from my iTunes to my ipod touch generation 5 by using the drag and drop method.
    How can I add songs,If I can't use the drag and drop method?
    Nothing seems to work.
    How should I fix this problem?????!
    I am going to travel soon,I need to add new songs before my departure.
    Please help me ASAP.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Step 1: Click on the Ipod button in the top right corner. (Make sure Ipod/AnyAppleDevice is connected)
    Step 2: In the top right corner again there should be a blue button that says "Done" and then right underneath that there should be something that says "Add to..." click on that.
    Step 3: After you click on that it should look something like this (picture below). So from here is where you can add music to your ipod/itouch/ipad/AnyAppleDevice. Also in the top left corner where it says "Music", you can click on that and change the types of media (Music/Movies/TV Shows/Podcasts/Apps) to add to your device.
    I hope I answered your question with this.

  • Can't send music to iPod Touch from iTunes?

    hi all, this has been bothering me for a few weeks now and i can't figure it out.
    i've been trying to send mp3s to my iPod Touch and i just can't get it done. i'm running the newest iTunes with a fully updated iPod Touch 4th gen. it's connected via the Apple supplied cable into my Mac Mini.
    can i just paste mp3's onto the iPod Touch like i can in Windows with a standard mp3 player? iTunes just seems to make things really complicated for me.
    i'd appreciate any help.
    thanks a lot!

  • Cannot sync apps to ipod touch from itunes

    Hi,
    Before I purchased my used Ipod touch 2g or 3g online I downloaded Itunes onto my laptop and also download some free apps. However, once I received the used ipod which had some apps and music already installed on it. I cannot sync (transfer) the free apps from my computer to ipod. When I click on application at the top tab all apps on ipod shows but I cannot do anything with them. When I tried transfer purchased from ipod touch to computer a message pops up saying I do not have authorization, yet I authorize my computer. Any help will do!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    you can only use apps with one account. If apps where bought using a different account, they will not transfer to your computer using your account.

    Did you set up the Mail app as follows:
    Mail
    If you want to check your iCloud Mail, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser requirements for icloud.com). Alternatively, you can configure a mail application that supports IMAP via SSL for use with iCloud Mail. More information is available here.

  • Downloading podcasts onto 2nd generation ipod touch from itunes app

    When I try to download some podcasts onto my ipod touch 2nd generation, it comes up with the error message:
    "(name of podcast) cannot be played on this ipod"
    I have been trying to download podcasts from the CollegeHumour series - Jake and Amir and - CH Originals - but i can't download any of them (they are all video podcasts, none of them are audio)
    I cannot transfer  them from itunes on my computer either
    Help!

    It appears the your 2G iPod does not have the memory/processor power/display capability for the specific video format used by the podcast.  I looked at the podcast you referenced and could not find anythng about the format used.

  • If I forgot to eject my ipod touch from iTunes and took my ipod out of the computer what can happen?

    Can it harm my ipod if this is the first time it's happened? What can it do if you don't eject it from itunes first? Can it harm or corrupt files? How would I know?
    It wasn't syncing at the time I took it out of the computer.

    Nothing will happen.
