My iPod(5th generation) isn't syncing to iTunes Library. How do I export songs and keep the names and coverart?

Having issues with the new itunes not showing song names or coverart. All it says is "Track 01, Track 02" and so on. How do I retrieve my music with these bits intact so I don't have to manually re-enter 232 song names?

Songs purchased from iTunes Store?

Since installing iCloud I am in able to sync my iTunes library to my iPhone 4, songs are missing the playlist are incorrect and when I try and play music the cover are and songs do not match. HELP anyone one else have this problem?

Do I need to go to the Apple store to fix this?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Try and calibrate Home Button
1. Open a stock application like Calendar, Weather or Youtube
2. Hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" control appears
3. As soon as you see it, press the Home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is forced quit to the Home menu

Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

HT1351 I have an IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for several years. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address. How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new itunes account?

Your email address (used as your Apple ID) does not matter, because iPods are not directly linked to a particular Apple ID.
NOTE: You can still use your old Apple ID, even if your that email address is no longer valid. As long as you remember your Apple ID password. Go here and click on Manage your Apple ID.

You can change the primary email address used by Apple, although the Apple ID remains the same.
Back to the iPod. iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library. After confirming everything is there, sync your iPod to that library. If there is any content purchased from the iTunes Store that uses DRM (copy protection), such as audiobooks, videos, and very old song purchases, iTunes may prompt you to authorize your computer with your Apple ID (the one you used to make the purchases).

My Ipod 5th generation won't sync new music or playlists

Can someone please help me. I've added new music to Itunes and to my workout playlist (it's a playlist I made, not a smartlist - have no idea what a smartlist even is). When I plug my Ipod into my computer, it syncs ok. There are no error messages or anything. But when I look on my Ipod, the new music isn't in my library and my playlist isn't updated with the songs that I've added to it. I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me? Also, I'm new to this, so it will have to be explained Big Bird Barney Style. Thanks so much.

My iPod 5th generation will NOT sync and I've tried everything.

My iPod has done this before in the past but it seemed to fix itself after awhile and I had all my music again, now - nothing. I've made sure the 'Sync Music' button was clicked, tried it unclicked, tried to manually sync, click every box on the side or my near 1500 song list, I've updated it, deleted and redownloaded itunes, took off every song from my iPod and put it back on, restored my iPod, reverted to last backup but nothing seems to work anymore. Photos, apps, and everything else syncs, just NO music. Also, during syncing, it randomly gives me the option to 'apply' and 'revert' changes without having made any "changes" at all. Is my computer just screwed up? Note that this happened before but all I did to correct that was to click and unclick the 'sync music' button but that doesn't work anymore. I REALLY need help.

Try syncing it with a different computer. If it works correctly on another computer then the issue is your computer. If you get the same results on the other computer get the iPod serviced.

Ipod "5th generation" will not sync to updated itunes

My new ipod touch will not sync with itunes. i restores it so the old stuff on my itunes is on it but now that i have added new music, it will not sync at all. How can i fix this?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. That makes the new iTunes look like the old one. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar

How do I enable an iPod touch without the original sync'ed computer? (and keep the music and files)

My iPod got disabled, but my computer is broken so all I have is a computer that isn't sync'ed to my iPod. Everytime I connect it to the computer, it tells me to respond on the iPod so I can sync it, however I can't respond on the iPod; it being disabled and all. I want to enable it without actually restoring it so I can keep all my music and pictures. If my music is deleted from my iPod, I won't get it back anytime soon due to my broken computer. Also, I can't use iCloud to get my music because most of it is from cd's and not connected to iCloud, so I really don't want to loose it.

Yo have to restore and thus erase the iPod. It is a security feature
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
After restoring, you MAY be able to get SOME data off the iPod

2-3 old ipod touch is no longer syncing to itunes library, which was recently moved to new laptop.

Recently moved my library of music, audiobooks, and podcasts to new laptop with Windows 8, at which time I upgraded my itunes software as well. My 2-3 year old ipod touch is no longer syncing properly. Audiobooks and podcasts are fine (after much effort), but all of two songs out of an extensive music library are the only ones syncing. I see them in my library on the new computer and have managed to sync them to my iphone 5 as well. Ipod touch appears to have ample file storage space left. What gives? Is the i-pod touch already useless with the latest Itunes software? Operator error? Hardware problem? I don't know what to think. Have been using ipods for years without this issue.

Salut, et un accueil chaleureux aux forums!

My laptop was stolen and all my music is on my iPod Classic. How can I transfer it to my new computer and keep the playlists and such?

Hey Everyone,
My apartment was broken into and my laptop was stolen which had my entire iTunes library. I have it all on my iPod Classic now which was with me at the time.
What do you suggest as the best tool to transfer the music FROM my iPod to to my new computer? I know there are some programs out there, what have you had success with?
My most important question is, is there a way to retain my library and especially playlists as it is (instead of copying over a massive bunch of songs)? Most of my music is from music blogs, mixtapes and underground artists so most of it cannot be found in the iTunes store.
Thanks for any help guys!
Vlad.

My ipod 5th generation wont charge after ios 8 update .. does this have something to with the charger not being an apple product?

Before the update my iPod was charging fine. then when I updated it started acting funny like one minute it would charge then it wouldn't then the next after IOS 8 came out my iPod wouldn't charge at all. could it be that my charger isn't an apple product? PLEASE HELP!!! I have important notes from school on here and I'm afraid to ask my mother for a new one without giving her a good explanation.

Could be that the update make the iPod more aware of marginal cable. Other users have reported the same.
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
