My 5th generation iPod Touch won't sync videos and music at all

Since December 29th, I have been having trouble with my videos and music not syncing to my iPod Touch. I tried to manually select them to sync to my iPod, when I remove them the number of gigabytes free on the bottom of the screen doesn’t change. What’s wrong? Please help

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
It just skips the step on preparing tracks to sync and takes a long time as well when it comes to waiting for changes to be applied.
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
No, the iPod was not previously synced to another iTunes library/computer at all
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Yes, I have been succesffuly syncing from the library/computer before this problem happened to my iPod Touch.
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Yes, the songs do play in iTunes
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
I think I do have the right boxes checked to sync but have to check and see if I do or not have them checked. Even though I have been syncing in the manual method and it still won't do sync my videos or new music at all.

  • 5th generation iPod touch won't sync.

    I've had this iPod for about 2 months now. I've connected to my iTunes before and it worked fine. When trying to put more music on it today, it wouldn't sync with iTunes. I tried simple things like restarting the iPod and restarting my computer but that did help. I've also run a diagnostic scan on iTunes and when it did the sync test it results showed that there was "No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found". Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Did you just update iTunes recently?
    What I did for mine, go to the control panel, add/remove programs, uninstall iTunes, apple mobile device service, apple application support. THen redownload and reinstall itunes
    If that doesn't fix it, there are more indepth things you can do (specific things to uninstall in a specific order)

  • My 5th generation ipod touch won't let me preview music in the itunes store

    I can download music just fine; but I can't preview the music BEFORE I buy. Does anybody know why this? I have downloaded ios 7.
    Thank you!

    Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

  • 5th generation Ipod Touch won't charge past 20%?

    I bought my 32 gb 5th generation Ipod Touch not more than 2 weeks ago at my local Walmart. Everything was working perfectly until today. All day, my ipod would charge until 20%.. run on this charge for approximately 10 minutes, and then die again. It does not continue charging after the 20% mark and I'm not quite sure how to verify that it does. I've tried using the charger with different usb ports/computers but still no luck. My ipod has been going through some pretty cold conditions temperature-wise the last few days.. does that have any affecton the battery maybe? Ahh, at this point I'm just frustrated.. hopefully someone knows how to fix this!

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

  • 5th generation iPod Touch speaker is not working with music and apps, but the alarm sound goes off fine. Why?

    I have a 5th generation iPod Touch and it got a small amount of water in it around the speaker. When I tried to see if my music would play through it, it couldn't. But, when I tried my alarm to make sure I could still hear it, you could. The sound was fine from the alarm, not as loud as it used to be but I could still hear it. Why doesn't the sound work with my music and apps? Also, would I be able to exchange it if I have a warranty?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

  • My 5th Generation IPod Touch keeps pausing, opening Siri, and crashing when I play music?

    I won a brand new 64gb 5th gen iPod touch back in November, everything has been great with it until recently. Lately it has been glitching out whenever I try to play music. It seems to be only when the headphone are plugged in that it does it, but it happens daily and has become an inconvenience. It tends to pause, play, open Siri (ask her a question) sometimes speed up the song, and ultimately crash. Does anyone know of this and/or know how to fix it? I've tried a system restore with backing up info but nothing else. Thank you.

    Hope your issue was fixed. With iOS 7 and now 7.0.4 the iPod touch fifth generation I have still crashes I have don't a soft restore, a complete restore from back up and also setup as new. Nothing worked. Saw the folks at the apple store on five different times. So they finally gave me a replacement. This has been going on since the new release. The only thing I have found is that it looses internet connectivity so I can put it in airplane mode. Close all apps. Then go back to wifi mode and some times this worked.
    Your issues seem slightly different. But the irregularities began for me with issues with my music library on my iPod touch.
    It's so frustrating to have such an expensive device functioning so poorly.

  • 5th generation iPod nano won't sync

    The computer won't see them as the same iPod despite the name.
    You might want to reload Windows on your computer or reinstall the USB root driver.

  • 5th Generation iPod Touch will not sync music..

    Thanks for taking the time to read this. I haven't been able to sync music to my iPod, but applications will sync. iTunes recognizes the iPod.  I just updated it to iOS 8 today hoping the update had fixed this problem, but it hasn't.  I've also tried unchecking/rechecking the "Sync Music" box; uninstalling iTunes; restarting both my iPod and my computer; using a different cable; restoring from a back up and i just set it up as a new device hoping it'd work that way. Highly disappointed in apple.. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as of now, i have a $300 paper weight.. (I am using Windows 7 and iTunes has been updated to the most current edition)

    Hi,
    I have tried all the support suggestions on the Apple site, but my iPod Touch, that is less than 6 months old, does not come up on My Computer when connected, will not charge on the pc, wall charger or car charger, and will not sync. All I get on the screen, internittently, is the apple symbol - nothing else.
    Any suggestions?

  • 5th Generation iPod Touch Syncing issues

    I recently receive a 5th Generation iPod Touch as a gift and I am having issues with it. I plugged the iPod into my Windows 7 PC with iTunes 11.4.0.18 and had issues from the start. First, my iPod would not even sync any media content from my library. So I messed around with the settings until the content was on my iPod. Once, it was on there I went to play a song that I had downloaded and it immediately skipped the song and kept going to the next available song , so I went back on to the forums to see that it could be a corruption on the backup and all you would have to do is restore your iPod and it would fix your issue. I did that got to the same step and a few songs played but most skipped. The album art is there for most of the songs not the music. I then went to iPod>On this iPod to find that every song I had just sync had an exclamation point error by the song. This is only happening on the On this iPod menu the music plays fine on the music menu without an issue. I am curious of what I am doing wrong here? I also read that it could be a much bigger problem in that I would have to delete all my music and re-install it. If that is the case I will deal with the iPod as is. It is not worth my time to spend hours trying to re-install 15+ GB on my PC again. 

    Verify that all play in iTunes on the computer.
    Then
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>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.

  • IPod Touch Won't Sync Music After iOS 7.0.3 Update.

    Hello,
    I am sorry if there is another thread with the same issue, but I was wondering if anyone can help with this problem.
    I have a 5th Generation iPod Touch and up until I updated it with the latest iOS software 7.0.3 everything had worked fine. I also updated iTunes (11.1.2.31)
    Now when I downlaod a new song or album onto my iTunes library on my Windows 7 PC, when I plug in my iPod my computer recognises the iPod starts to sync but at the very end it says "Waiting for changes to be applied" for about a minute stalls slightly and then finishes the syncing.
    I go to check my iPod to see if the latest track that I have downloaded is on there, the changes that were applied haven't been applied.
    So, my question is has anyone heard if Apple is aware of the underlying problem and are they going to fix it with another software update or does anyone have any suggestions or answers that will definitely fix this problem?
    The only way for now that I can get the song/album I paid for is by downloading it from my iPod in iTunes Store under "Purchased"
    It seems if I do it that way it works and the song that I downlaoded onto my iPod directly goes onto my iTunes library the next time I open iTunes or boot up my PC.
    Applications, photos and movies sync with no problem. Other than that everything works fine
    Thanks for your reponces in advance!
    Best,
    OrlaG

    I am certain too that it is possibly the 7.0.3 update. Have you tried restoring from backup? I am uncertain that might work but its worth a try.
    If that doesn't work I suggest that you give feedback to Apple directly. The more about this problem, the quicker it will get resolved.

  • Apps on 5th-Generation iPod touch Not Updating

    After updating my 5th-generation iPod touch to iOS 8.3, none of my apps will update.  It goes to the point of showing the square inside the circle, and all activity stops after that.  Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    If the app has not data yo can try deleting the app and reinstalling
    You can also download on computer and sync to the iPod.
    Last, backup your iPod and restore from backup
