My iPod touch shows no content for music and/or videos or downloaded apps after I upgraded to IOS v5.1.1

I downloaded the latest version of ios for my iPod Touch (v5.1.1) and my music, videos, books, and purchased apps don't appear.  In the settings it shows I've only got 9.1 GB of space available out of 28.4 GB (my iPod is a 32 GB).  Also, on the iTunes summary page for my iPod the usage bar at the lower portion of the page is all yellow showing 'other' when it use to be multi-color showing what content (apps, video, music, etc) was using up the capacity individually.  When I click on the device icon (left side of the window) it indicates all of my music, apps, video, books, etc are on the iPod but they don't show up on the actual device.  Also, the sync button (lower right on the summary page) is "greyed out" and won't let me sync.  Thanks in advance.  Terry

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" included corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • My ipod touch has been of for ages and now has blue squiggly flashing lines...is it broken or can I do something ?

    my ipod touch has been of for ages and now has blue squiggly flashing lines...is it broken or can I do something ?

    - First try resetting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then restore the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problems persist, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    -  If still problems you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    i have an ipod touch 2nd generation.is there is any other way to download apps which require ios4.3..please give me one solution.........

    Try downloading apps on your iPod (not on your Mac or PC). Apple now permits downloading "last compatible versions" of some apps.

  • HT1212 what should I do if my Ipod touch show me the appel sign and does not want to go further than that

    please asking some help
    my ipod touch felt down and since show me the appel sign and does not want to go further but it's charging correctly. when I connect it to the computer it's ask for a passcode that i dont remember.

    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.

    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 iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Only iTunes shows up in the Music and Sound media browser

    I just upgraded to FCP 10.1 and I'm noticing that the media browser only show iTunes content in Music and Sound. No sound effects (foley, etc.) are included as before.
    Is this simply that FCP no longer includes these or should there be something other than iTunes there?

    Thanks Tom. After a few reboots, music is back. Thanks again. Looking for the "solved" button and nothing. I will marked solved when I am able to.
    Thanks again.
    Best.

    I've found an easier way, just go to settings>general>usage>music. Then swipe it and press delete, i think this deletes the database described above, then re-sync, this worked for me anyway. Good luck, you need it with Apple software.
    I don't have a large library of music on my iPhone 4s since I've only had it since Oct 2012, but since the update to iTunes 11 in early December, my album artwork has been all messed up.  Everytime I would try to add new music, it would assign the wrong album artwork to anything new coming in.  And in addition to that, it would also mess up album artwork of music already on my phone.  Everything looked correct in iTunes, but on my phone, not so much.  After trying to unsynch, then synching again, my frustration level was at an all-time high. This problem seems to be everywhere online, but no concrete solution for everyone. 
    I finally came across your simple solution (at least for me because of my small inventory of music) of just deleting all the music through the settings, and then re-synching to add back my music.  Now all of the album artwork is correct again.  I'm almost afraid to add new music for fear the artwork will get mixed up all over again! I still think my issue is somehow connected to the iTunes 11 update because up until then I had no issues whatsoever. Anyway, thanks for an easy solution that worked for me.

  • HT1430 i recieved an ipod touch 2nd generation as a gift and they have reset it to factory settings and now its stuck on a screen showing an adaptor with itunes music symbol on it. I do not know where to go from here.

    I recieved an apple ipod touch 2nd generation as a gift and they have reset it to factory settings and now it is stuck on a screen with an adaptor showing with the itunes music symbol at the top of the screen.

    Restore...
    Connect via cable to the computer that you intend to use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Just updated 10.5 now has location service and others-IOS-ICLOUD etc.  If I hit agree will there be charges I can't find a straight answer. Now I just use my 3 gen. IPOD touch for music and photos. Thanks to all. Tom

    The ipod touch wants me to chose or decline these new features. They sound good but I don't want to get any extra charges. Now use for music and phjotos only. Don't want to decline if these are worth while.  Thanks to all.  Tom  Toucch is 3 gen

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • Can you sync your iPod touch with computer 1 for computer 1's iCal items and also sync the same iPod touch with computer 2 for computer 2's music, apps, etc. items?

    I have a MacBook Pro through my college, and I have all my iCal items on that computer, but I have all my music, apps, etc. on a PC desktop that is my personal home computer.  I am wondering if I can sync my iPod touch with my MacBook for the iCal items and also with my PC for the music and such without loosing either of the two when trying to sync with the other computer?

  • My ipod touch 4 keeps puasing my music for like half a second and then it starts playing again happens with all songs at random times

    My ipod touch 4 keeps pausing my music for like half a second and then it starts playing again happens 2 to 3 time in any song

    Hi, Radical2
    This is not a complicated problem. And you can easilly solve it. Here is the way about how to recover music from iPod.
    Connect your iPod to your computer to restore custom ringtones and ringtones saved to the computer. Click the "iPod" button in iTunes, or select your iPod in the sidebar if you enabled the option to show the sidebar. Select the "Tones" tab, check the box for each ringtone you want to transfer to your iPhone, and then click "Sync." Sometimes a 3 party tool such as Data Recovery may help you in a easy way.
