My iPod 5th generation locks up mid sync

Hi my iPod keeps locking up periodically whilst syncing. This happens on different songs each time. I have to unplug &. Reset & try again. Wondered if I had errors on disk. Is there a defrag utility? Any ideas

Well this symbol, is bad news,
It means hardware error, like some circuit is fried, but if you are lucky, Read this Apple Support Article about going into Disk Mode and Restoreing the iPod.
Or else try this Hard Reset, with a lot of Prayers
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

How come my ipod 5th generation locks me out when I put the right password?

I put the correct password into my iPod 5th generation and sometimes (almost all the time now) locks me out. It mostly happens to me when I need to do something off of my iPod. Please help!!!

Sounds mostly like operator error from the very sparse description.
Exactly when this happens – becomes important, else people are forced to guess what you are talking about.
Do you have more than one password & are using the wrong one?
(Could it be that you have a long password & a short ID passcode for something like 1Password?)
I’ve found there is sometimes an extra half second time-lag & I that I am typing ahead & it is not properly registering whenever this happens to me on the lock screen, or I try typing the character again, because of the lag. Do you have the tap speed set low?
If you have a cover for your iPad, those can sometimes cause a mistype.
Another might be that [one] doesn’t look to see that the correct password characters were entered instead of its key neighbor (sloppy fat-fingering).

How do I Sync All 5,000 of my songs onto my iPod 5th Generation without no problems at all, Most of my songs have the Album Artworks, some are ACC converted but after the "Changes Are Applied", it will say - Songs were not synced. File wasn't convert

I Am having a problem with syncing 5,000+ songs onto my IPod 5th Generation. Everytime I sync, some songs will either go away or ALL of them will come off my iPod. I have iTunes 12 for Windows, and it has a slow syncing process and it will take days for songs to get on the iPod. It will even say that any of the songs "we're not synced to my iPod because the file wasn't converted..
I Need help please, I would appreciate it.

Hey Bryce,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like some songs aren’t being synced to your iPod touch because they aren’t in a compatible format. Can you play those tracks in iTunes? Try selecting the tracks that won’t sync and creating a new version of them with iTunes as shown in the article below.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
Take care,

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

If you do happen to run into a bad file, try converting it to a different format and resyncing the new version over to your iPod.

Why can't I sync my movies onto my ipod 5th generation?

I have an ipod 5th generation. I just bought the newest macbook pro and started making a few iphoto videos. I transferred these videos to itunes in order to load them onto my ipod. However, itunes won't sync them because they cannot play on this ipod. Why can't they play? Do I need to change the formatting?

IPod 5th generation recognized in iTunes but won't charge

Hello Apple Support Community,
I'm writing this on behalf of my girlfriend, who is having problems with her iPod, I tried searching google and the forums here but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer.
Basically what happens is this:
iPod gets plugged in and shows the "do not disconnect" screen and starts charging (what comes next kind of happens simultaneously) not long after that, I'd say a minute at most, the normal menu screen comes up and the lightning symbol on the battery disappears, iTunes recognizes the device and allows you to browse the files and it gives the option to sync but we haven't done that yet (the laptop we're trying to charge it off is new and has an empty iTunes library) and we don't want to lose the data on the iPod. It works fine on other computers, i.e. she can charge it with no problem from her desktop PC and as far as i know any other PC/laptop available to us
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and how to solve it?
Technical details:
iPod 5th generation, 60gb
Laptop brand: Samsung
OS: Windows 8
USB status: Ports all work and from what I can tell they're all 500mA
Tried:
Switching USB ports, none seem to make it charge
Resetting iPod
We don't have extra cables so we can't try switching them and we haven't tried restoring the iPod yet since we don't want to lose data.
If you need more info, let me know
Thank you very much for your time!

Hello,
The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
<a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
Have you checked this link out?:
<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If not...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

How do I load iTunes U to my iPod 5th Generation?

Following advice I've found elsewhere, I created an iTunes U playlist and dragged and dropped a bunch of iTunes U classes into it. I then dragged that playlist to the right side of my iTunes screen where a window emerged showing my iPod 5th Generation and dropped (seemingly) the playlist into it. Nevertheless, no iTunes U playlist appears on my iPod.

i was having the same problem but think i figured it out. try these directions (from Apple site):
To sync iTunes U content:
Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
When your device appears in the iTunes window (below Devices), select it.
Click the iTunes U button and select the items you want to sync.    [this is at the top of the window]
Click Apply.

My iPod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work

My ipod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work! What will I do? It all starmed when I updated iOS 8. It would be fine but would shut down at random, now it won't turn on at all!!! when I press the lock button to turn it on the Apple sign would come up for about 5/10 minutes!! so what will I do???

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

When I add songs to my ipod 5th generation the songs don't add, why is that?

I keep adding new songs to my ipod. It seems to work but then I leave my house and the song isn't on my ipod. I've only had this ipod for about 3 weeks. Prior to this ipod, I owned another ipod 5th generation for about a year, but I lost it & I never encountered this problem with that ipod.
the song shows up greyed out when i click my ipod from my itunes like this:
& isn't on my ipod once i disconnect it. It seems to be adding the songs slower or something. Also, sometimes when I attempt to add one single song to my itunes my whole library gets added to my ipod, which is annoying because I delete songs from my ipod, yet they're being added again.
Is this apart of the update? Is there some way to fix this to the old settings because I tend to get music from other people's itunes libraries too, and i don't want their library syncing on my ipod.
