My ipod touch is unable to download songs off itunes or from icloud ...what do I do?

ever since I got the new update (which actually restored my Ipod losing all my pictures)  I have not been able to sync my songs from itunes or even purchased songs from icloud. If I cannot fix my Ipod  I dont know what I'm going to do with all the songs I have purchased from itunes.

A restore has nothing to do with pressing or holding any buttons on the device.
A reset is holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If the backup completed successfully, a restore will put it back exactly as it was.
Although, any semi-intelligent person would be regularly importing the pictures from their device to their computer.  Relying on a single device like a phone that can easily be lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair is extremely unintelligent.

  • I got my computer reset and my iTunes deleted. I still have everything on my iPod Touch but when I downloaded a new iTunes on my computer everything was deleted. How do I get everything in my iPod back to my iTunes and into my computer?

  • While restoring my iPod Touch second generation computer is turned off the screen goes black what do I do?

    While restoring my iPod Touch second generation computer is turned off the screen goes black what do I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

  • Duplicate songs in iTunes (not from iCloud!!!)

    Hello!
    Just I have solved one problem (some songs from iTunes won't sync with my iPhone)
    Sudenly have appeared another one: hundreds of my songs are duplicated.
    I was surfing in internet with an idea to find a solution, one solution that I found it was to "Show iTunes in the iCloud  purcheses" it ok, theres was not any tick. But songs are always duplicated.
    Could anyone help me to decide this problem, please.

    You can't read one part and ignore what followed.  "went back into the purchased tab in itunes and the songs are still there."
    He was only seeing the songs he had purchased on his account, which could be redownloaded.
    If that's what you're talking about, you're just as foolish.

  • How do I download my entire iTunes collection from iCloud to my iPod Touch 5th Generation?

    I just bought a 64 GBiPod Touch 5th Generation and have about 35GB of music on my iCloud. I want to download all 35GB to my new iPod. What is the fastest, easyist way to do that?

    Plug your iPod into your computer, and pull up iTunes.  When it loads, you should see your library with all of your songs on there.  If you look at the individual album covers, you should see little clouds in the top right-hand corner.  Click on that, and it will download.  Hope this info helped!

  • HT204406 How to download songs to my ipad from icloud after I signed up for itunes match???

    I signed up for itunes match on the promise that I would have access to all my music and could download to my devices.  But now that they've hooked me for the $24.99, there doesn't seem to be a way to download the music to my ipad (IOS 6).  What am I missing?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Tap the song you wish to download.

  • I am unable to download presentations as a powerpoint (from iCloud) if I edit them using Keynote on my Mac

    I edit them on my iDevice and they download as a Powerpoint fine, but if I edited this on my Mac, it doesn't download as a Powerpoint.
    Same is happening with anything edited on Pages, Numbers on Mac.
    Anybody having the same problem? Or is this isolated?

    I thought now that you could directly edit iCloud docs would mean the same as editing on an iDevice.
    Apple really needs to improve on this...

  • Uploading to online data storage: Now cannot download songs into iTunes

    Hello all.
    I am not seeing this one on any FAQs, knowledge bases, or discussion boards yet:
    I am doing my initial upload of files to SugarSync, a highly-recommended online data storage service. Since I started, I cannot download songs into iTunes, even from the iTunes Store.
    On any new downloads from the iTunes Store, the song DOES appear in the Music library view but immediately after completing the download it shows the exclamation point warning that the file is not in its location. The new folders get created properly within the iTunes Music folder but the subfolder where the song should be is empty. Each time I had to write iTunes Support to get them to make the files available.
    I can still add files manually, no problem. E.g., I can add *.mp3 or *.wav files or folders, I can convert them to AAC, etc. The glitch seems to occur only when automated loads into iTunes are operating.
    As a test, I downloaded a song from Amazon. Here the problem was different but I could work around it manually. Normally the Amazon process loads songs automatically into iTunes, too. Here again, the download did create the proper folder in the iTunes Music folder, as it should, but this time the symptoms were reversed:
    (a) the mp3 file WAS in its folder as it should be (w/the iTunes DL, the file was NOT there)
    (b) the song did NOT appear in the iTunes Music view (w/the iTunes DL, the song DID appear)
    (c) I was able to browse to the file and tell it manually to load into iTunes (w/iTunes I had to write Support and wait a day).
    (I wonder what's the cause of the differences between the two cases.)
    Strictly speaking, I can't PROVE the problem has anything to do with SugarSync (which otherwise seems good so far), but the DL problem started as soon as I started using it. Something in the SugarSync upload or file-monitoring process, or an odd thin gin iTunes, seems to be preventing automated, direct loads into iTunes. And since the data service runs in background, so it can monitor file changes, that might mean I can't buy music anymore! Obviously that would be a dealbreaker with SS. (I have contacted SS on this but they've not had fair chance to reply yet.)
    1) Anyone else have this problem?
    2) Is this permanent or just temporary while I am doing the initial upload?
    3) Anyone know a solution?
    (FYI, I am a highly-experienced user and otherwise quite handy with iTunes files, library moves, and backups. My library is entirely consolidated and all AAC.)
    Thanks.
    (Oh, and this occurred in both iTunes 8 and the new iTunes 9, so it seems unrelated to the upgrade this week.)

    UPDATE 1. CHANGING BROWSER HELPED -- OR DID IT?
    I called Apple iTunes Support, who said the problem is new to them. The technician's hypothesis was that something, perhaps browser-related, was interfering with the initial creation of a temporary file (which should go to the Recycle Bin) that instead causes the completed file to go to there.
    He noted that iTunes, though not going through one's browser onscreen, does use settings within one's default browser. I use Mozilla Firefox, so we switched to IE as the default browser, restarted iTunes, and the song downloaded with no problem! Then I switched back to Mozilla, restarted iTunes, and it worked AGAIN with no problem!
    (Dutifully I advised SugarSync, which is still investigating.)
    UPDATE 2: ARTIST NAME CHANGE - SOME FILES GOT MIS-MOVED / MIS-CHANGED
    Definitely something still wrong. This time some pre-existing song entries (not new downloads) lost their connection to their source file.
    In iTunes, which manages folder names for artists and albums automatically, I corrected the spelling for an Artist, so immediately iTunes renamed the folder, and automatically SugarSync noted the change to be uploaded. While the changed folder name and all the songs within were still uploading to SS, in iTunes I saw exclamation points come up -- but only for some of them. Most files got moved or changed correctly, but several lost connection to their file (i.e., the file was removed for the original misnamed folder but never moved into the correctly-named folder). Weird.
    Worse, in only some of those cases did I find the missing *.m4a file in the Recycle bin. (I had to retrieve old, original *.mp3 versions from another folder and re-import each into iTunes manually.) I've never seen iTunes have a problem managing an Artist rename until I started using the live SS process.
    (I've reported this to SS and asked if there is a way to disable temporarily SS to see if that's the problem.)
    [Note: I am willing to try downloads again but I am wary of trying to rename entire Artists (Folder) again. That was a lot of work.]

    UPDATE 3: SERIES OF TESTS - 1 FAILURE USING iTUNES
    Still problem occurs, but not always. Today, I rebooted PC. I tried CD, iTunes, & Amazon. I varied having the browser open when using iTunes.
    Here are the results of a series of attempts to download songs. "FAIL" means the file did not load properly into iTunes or loaded but lost its connection (exclamation point warning).
    # Source Mozilla #Songs Result
    1 CD Closed 1 OK
    2 iTunes Closed 1 OK
    3 Amazon Open 2 OK
    4 iTunes Open 1 FAIL
    5 Amazon Open 1 OK
    6 iTunes Closed 1 OK
    7 Amazon Open 2 OK
    8 iTunes Open 2 OK
    (I reported this to SS. Hoping they'll test and find the problem.)

  • TS1424 "Unable to Download Song" message in iTunes app on iPod Touch?

    I did look to see if this question was posted anywhere else, but did not see it. So if it has already been answered, my apologies.
    I am hooked up to the wireless, logged into iTunes, credit card good to go. Every time I go to download a song, it stops with "download error" and then another message pops up stating "Unable to Download song" and that it could not be downloaded at this time. I've tried downloading other songs and the same thing happens.

    I've been getting this problem too, seems the album/song as noted is corrupted (I did stop it halfway into downloadign when I was in Spain and didn't have a ton of bandwidth). I just need to delete this error message.
    As seen here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18244258#18244258
    Swipe the failing song horizontally to get the red Delete option, then delete.
    So easy once you know, no?
    Once that failed "in progress" download was deleted, I asked iTunes to re-download it and it went through just fine.

  • TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

    I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

    It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.
    Regards.
