My ipod touch will sync music but when i go to play it it will not play.It goes from the play screen back to menu

Help! my ipod touch will sync music and podcasts. They show up on the playlists but when I tap on them to play it very briefly show the artist/album cover for playing but then quickly reverts to the playlist or artist menu. I have restored it and tried everything from the troubleshooting list. Any ideas? And everything else is working perfectly...

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.
- 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.

HT1727 All of the music on my ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to transfer songs and videos that I didn't purchase?

My ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to tranfer my music and videos to my new conputer without losing the items I didn't purchase from itunes.

Move or copy all the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
iDevices are not backup devices.

I cant sync my music. I have no check box to "sync music" just one that says "sync notes" in the music tab?

I have search on this and other forums regarding syncing my itunes music library with my 4s. I've tried all the usual, clicking on the iphone icon, clicking on the music tab etc, etc. but the window does not show a check box to sync music, just one that says sync voice memos!!! Plus a sentance that says" itunes match is on" "music can be downloaded and listened to with from icloud blah blah" But not if you have no signal and just want to listen to the music ive bought and paid for!!!
Someone please help, just tell me that i have to do something simple and im a complete idiot.
I do have itunes match on but turning it off doesnt seem to make a dfferance. It only happened after i down loaded the ios7 on my phone.please dont tell me its that as i've had nothing but aggro since doing it.

Thank you leonie, that was so easy, just what i wanted. I feel so stupid, i've been trying to sort this on and off for a few weeks and eventually had to resort to actually asking for help. Thank you so much X

The TC is a wireless router.. it must plug into the internet by ethernet.. you cannot sync to wireless.

Ipod having trouble syncing music

I used to have all my music onto my ipod until when i synced it to add more music it said that the folder couldn't be found and it erased all of my music from my ipod. Since then I havent been able to sync more then 100 songs before it says the same error message and again deletes all my music from my ipod. I have restored my ipod about 5 or 6 times and it still does the same thing. Any ideas to what the problem could be?

Hard to gues as you do not mention your issue.
What "trouble" are you having?

IPod 5 not syncing music

I've tried to sync music so many different ways, I've tried how you usually would do it through the music tab but it starts and stops right away. Then I tried to click and drop the songs but it won't let me. I originally got some songs onto it by using auto fill And it put music on the iPod but now that I've downloaded more music and was hoping to add it to my iPod, none of those are working, when I try to auto fill it now with music it says preparing to update files and then after two minutes it stops again. Help pls??

Assuming the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer:
- 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.
- 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 Shuffle not syncing music

iTunes says that the iPod Shuffle is synced. I have selected a song to put on the iPod but I can not find the command to 'sync.' I have tried selecting a song and dragging it to the iPod but when I disconnect the iPod Shuffle and pulg in the earphones, I get a message to use iTune to sync. What is the command or procedure to sync the music to the iPod so it will play?

You can load content onto a shuffle manually, using Autofill, or by setting up automatic syncing. This document describles those methods.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
When you select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES, you should see the Sync button at the lower right corner of the window. However, "syncing" does not come into play (for loading content) if you are using the manual method (or Autofill). If you set up automatic syncing, syncing (any changes since the last sync) happens automatically when you connect the shuffle.

IPod Touch not syncing music

Why oh why do things that worked previously not work now? This happens so much with Apple products!!!
I have tried now several times to sync my plugged-in iPod Touch with my iTunes selected songs and playlists.
I have checked the boxes about manually managing music. I have chosen for the iPod to sync with a playlist in my iTunes library, and even tried just dragging the songs over.....They still do not show up on the iPod.
I did a manual reset, holding down the On/Off button and home button on the iPod, and it still isn't syncing correctly.

I had a similar problem yesterday. Even after "restoring" it still would not sync the music but did sync the videos!! In another thread I found some help from "John Guo" who suggested
"Try putting the iPod into recovery mode. To do that, turn off the iPod. Then it on and hold the Home button until it asks you to connect to iTunes. Plug the iPod into your computer and restore it. Hope this works."
I did that & all works fine now. One other thing I did was set NO automatic syncing in itunes prefs. I when it asked after the restore I did NOT restore settings from backup bu designated it a new ipod.
Good luck,
Harris

IPod restarts when syncing music

My iPod restarts when its in the middle of syncing music. Sometimes it just restarts and other times it says the required folder cannot be found. Can anyone help me?

Plug your iPod into your computer and once iTunes open go to the iPod preference plane on the source list. There is the option to restore your iPod. Restoring means to erase your iPod completely and reinstall a new software on it. So if you have any files in your iPod that you don't have on your computer, back them up before you do the restoring. Otherwise, proceed with the restore (You need internet connection to do the restore). You should be fine after restoring it.

Ipod touch wont sync music after restore/update

i recently came back from the apple store after trying to update my ipod to 4.2 and running across many errors. finally, my ipod is working again however as it had to be restored i have to sync everything back onto it. The apps, photos and videos synced fine but when it tries to sync music, itunes freezes right away. it will say syncing whatever song and it just stops. First, the number of songs and what song it syncs first seems to change every time i sync it. Sometimes it says 1 of 1 sometimes 168 out of 168, when it should be at least over 500 songs. Second, after i let the computer with the frozen itunes sit for a while, it came up with 2 error messages; one saying the song could not be synced because of error -20 i think, the second saying the data couldn't be written onto the ipod and then it froze forever on the finishing syncing bar. i've tried restarting my computer, disconnecting the internet and disabling my firewall. itunes is up to date and so is the ipod obviously. we use ca security center. please help i just want to be able to use my ipod again

the ca security people fixed my problem and its syncing fine. if anyone else has problems syncing while running ca security post on this forum and they will pm you the solution
