Hi,
To restore your music, connect to your computer's iTunes and try the following settings.
Then hit the Apply button on bottom right. I find it best to select "sync only checked songs and videos" in the Options in Summary.
Good luck

  • My iPod 5th generation has been stolen.

    My iPod 5th generation has been stolen and I don't have my box. Can I get the imei number without using itunes? In itunes, it's showing only the serial number. And they say that iDevices cannot be tracked with serial number.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • My iPod 5th generation has an unresponsive screen, and it won't allow me to unlock it to retrieve photos and data. What do I do?

    The touchscreen isn't responding to my touch, and there are photos and videos that are really important to me on it that I want to retrieve and put on my new iPod. Any suggestions on what I could do?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • My iPod 5th generation has no sound only head phone has a sound.How to fix the problem?i already tried reset settings and power on/off button.

    I have  a problem of  5th generation of iPod .It has headphone sound but not out sound I mean without headphone there is no soung.I  how can Solve the problem?

    I have the same problem too. I tried turning it off, and it still didn't work. If you keep your headphones in a lot, I believe that is the problem. I am no tech expert, but when you put in your headphones, it triggers something and that something might be stuck. When I turn upp my vokume when my headphones are not in, it says "headphones". Pretty weird.

  • Why isn't my iPod (5th Generation) turning on all the way?

    Okay earlier my iPod died and I plugged it in, while it was charging I was about to open my message app. Right when I clicked on it my iPod died or did something anyways. Now whenever I turn it on I just see the white apple logo for several seconds and the screen goes black again. I charged my iPod for about 5 hours so I don't think it's dead. I have tried holding down the home and power button together several times and it still hasn't turned all the way back on yet...and it wont connect to iTunes because it wont turn on all the way...what do I do?
    ( I haven't done the most recent update either so it's still iOS 8.1.2)

  • How can you tell if your battery is broke or if its a glitch. My ipod 5th generation was plugged in but still wont turn on.its been known to glitch,thanks

My ipod 5 generation has glitched before in the past but i dont know if this is a ghitch or its legitamently broke,thankas for the replies it really helps

    This is the itunes forum.  Your question seems to have nothing to do with itunes.
    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.  Try those.

  • I have an IPod 5th generation and I would like to give it away with the apps, but have all personal data deleted, app can no longer be found in the apple store and I'd like to to be able to keep it

    I have an IPod 5th generation and I would like to delete all personal content, and be signed out of my Apple ID as well, but there are apps that no longer exist on the apple store that I would like to keep.

    Do this:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

  • Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

  • There is green mold/corrosion on my iPod 5th Generation charger.

    There is green mold/corrosion on my iPod 5th Generation charger, how can I remove this safely ?

    Hey Nikki, An iPod classic with iOS 8?!? OK, When you say "Charger" are you talking about the cable or the device that converts the 120 volt power from the wall to something that your iPod can handle? If you mean the cable, replace it, the green gunk is copper oxidation, corrosion. Moisture has gotten in the cable and is causing the cable to fail, replacement is the only thing that will work for certain. If within one year of purchase may be covered under warranty, you could get a free replacement from Apple. If it is just the tip of the cable wipe it off with a tissue and some alcohol. If your talking about the charging port on your iPod or the USB port on the other end, There are cleaning kits, you can purchase, which come with little brushes and pads and a cleaner solution to remove the corrosion. Just follow the instructions to the letter! Otherwise you can try this get bottle of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) 91% and several cotton swabs. You may need to cut / trim the swabs to fit the port openings. Turn your iPod and/or the charging device off. Apply 1 maybe 2 drops of alcohol to the swab, you want it damp, NOT wet! If you get it too wet use a tissue to dry the excess alcohol off the swab. Then insert the swab in and out as if you were plugging it in and out, do not sweep side to side, you risk damaging the contact pins inside the port. Bend or break one and you'll have a real and expensive mess. after 4 or 5 in / out motions, varying the position of the swab from right to left, change swabs, dampen a fresh swab and continue until the swab come out clean. Or take it to Apple or an electronics service shop and let them clean it. When done allow the port to dry a few minutes before turning your iPod on. Good luck, Cheers.
