My iTunes won't sync music to my iPod touch 5th gen.

It's NEW.
I got it in the mail a week ago, and updated it to iOS 7 before I started syncing anything. And I updated iTunes to 11. It syncs all of my apps problem free. And it syncs my photos. But the music is not transfering. My iPod touch 4th gen is working just fine. So what do I have to do to my new iPod to make it work?

Hi raymanvancil,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the article below. If music doesn't seem to be syncing, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

ITunes won't sync music to my iPod touch

I recently tried switching the computer that my iPod syncs to. At first I got an error that there wasn't enough room on my ipod. I reset my ipod, I restored my ipod, I repaired itunes. Nothing has worked. Yes...the sync music box is checked. I'ved tried both entire library and individual folders. I have 1,485 songs that I'm trying to sync and it has only put 110 on my ipod. These were all on it before and I never had any issues on my other computer.
I'm at a total loss and getting really frustrated! Help please!!!!!!!!

My iTunes won't download music to my iPod Touch 5th Generation

I just recently bought some CD's, and I have found that my iTunes program won't let me download them to my iPod. I believe I have a 5th generation iPod Touch, and I have a Windows Vista... I don't know if it's because I updated to the newest iTunes version(12.0.1) and the latest ios for my iPod, but I've never had the problem of not being able to download songs to my iPod before... When I try to move the songs from my iTunes to my iPod, there is a blue highlight around my playlists, but not around my iPod... On iTunes, I do have the option to "manually manage music and videos" checked off. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! (And I don't know what this is, I've tried to fix it but it still comes up, there is an error message when I start iTunes that says "iTunes has detected that it is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Programs control panel to fix this?" Could someone please help me with this as well?)

Does any media now sync to the iPod?

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.

ITUNES WON'T SYNC MUSIC ONTO MY IPOD!!!!!!

k, so a while ago, i was messing around with realplayer, and noticed that i could make it the program to put music on my ipod(i already have itunes) and now, itunes won't put music on my ipod, i press sync and it shows up for a second then says complete, i check my ipod and the new songs aren't on it, and realplayer screwed up so i uninstalled that thinking itunes would then become the main source of putting music on my ipod, so does anyone know how to make itunes the main program for music syncing on my ipod?

So you have 1550 songs in your iTunes library on your dad's computer, but only 130 synced to the device and only 22 (the purchased songs) will actually play on the device? Is that correct?
How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library on your dad's PC? In other words, what options do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes?

I have a song on iTunes on my pc and I have my music on my IPod touch 5th gen. Can I transfer my songs from my ipod to my pc or can I put my songs from my ipod on icloud if that is even possible?

I Decide that I wanted to move my music from my iPod touch to iTunes on my pc but I can't there is no option for that only sync which says it will erase all my songs videos etc. so am I stuck like this or is there a way that I can move my music to iTunes

If you bought the songs in iTunes, connect to your PC, open iTunes, right click on your iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases".

New iTunes won't sync music to my iPod Classic

I plug in my iPod Classic and my laptop reads it just fine, as does iTunes, but the music won't sync. The "syncing" screen comes up on my iPod for about three seconds and disappears.. Any idea how to fix this?

I had the same problem . First delete all of iTunes off of your computer thru your control panel anything with apple beside it ,your files , music is stored in a different area and will not be affected. Before you down load the new iTunes turn off Norton or any protective software you have ,just for as long as it takes to down load the new file. Then reinstall. Worked for me

S 10 won't sync music to my iPod Touch 4

Trying to sync my music (eonly certain albums and artists) from iTunes 10 to my iPod Touch 4.
I have the iOS 5 update loaded to my iPod. It starts step 1 and just says "waiting fo rsync to start",
then after a while it gives me a separate error box that reads "The iPod 'Kari's iPod Touch" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
Last week I was removing programs that I didn't think I needed and I deleted Bonjour. Could this have anything to do with it?
I am operating on a Dell Optiplex on Windows XP Pro.
Thanks!

The problem seems to be in the photo syncing portion of the routine.
I found this solution and it appears to work.

Now my iPod syncs with no problems.

When I am listening to music on my iPod Touch 5th gen and it is locked I try to double click the home button to bring up the music controls, but it does not work. How can I fix this?

So, I locked my iPod while listening to music, then pressed to home button to turn it back on, then I pressed it again twice to bring up the music controls so I could pause the song. The music controls came up, but they didn't control the song I was listening to, also the album artwork wasn't showing. How can I fix this?

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

Itunes not showing I have music on my iPod Touch 5th Gen.

Earlier I plugged my iPod into my computer and an error message occurred saying itunes couldn't read my iPod so I tried to find a solution online and found this site I went through the steps and plugged my ipod in. Now my itunes is saying there is no music yet the status bar still says there is music/files. I really don'y know what to do or where to start.
Edit: I also tried to back up my music with Share Pod to be safe and it is also saying my ipod is empty. My music still works on my iPod it still plays.

- Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if you have a backup. If you have one restore from that backup
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Also, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and backup and see if yoo have an iCloud backup. If so then restore from that backup
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
- Last, try backing up and then restore from backup if you could make one

How can I play music from my ipod Touch (5th gen.) on my car radio?

Hi--I used to use a cassette adapter to play my iPod nano. Obviously it's an older car, a 2004 Toyota. Is there an adapter I can use to connect my new iPod to the car radio? Thanks.

If the car has an AUX IN you can use a cable between the iPOd's headphone jack and the AUX IN.
If the car has an FM radio yo can purchase a FM transmitter for the iPod. Some connect to headphone jack and some to the dock connector
Google for: fm transmitter for iphone 5

My iTunes won't sync music to my iphone 4

My iTunes won't sync music on to my iPhone 4. It syncs music on to my ipod 3rd gen, but not my iPhone. All my software is up to date, and all my settings are correct, but nothing seems to work. I've tried, turning my phone off and on, restoring my phone, restarting my computer, unchecking and checking my music, and nothing seems to work. I only have one playist with all the songs I want onto my iPhone, because my whole iTunes library doesnt fit onto it. Another note, it was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning. But earlier today, my music only showed 3 artists, 2 albums, and 622 songs (which is how much I should have on there), and I tried re-syncing my iPhone, and now there's no music on there at all. Please help, music is the main thing I use my phone for, and its gonna make me go crazy if I dont fix this.

I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
But.
I too had a similar problem - my thoughts were:
Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
Corruption
Itunes software issue
After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
Wha La!
It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
Hope this helps somebody.
It certainly made my life less frustrating
Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.
