My stupid ipod won't let me put top rated into a playlist :(

So last night my mac book crashed while my ipod was plugged in and I lost all my music. I've got it all back on now (well most of it) but beforehand, if I was listening to a song on my ipod, I could rate it and if it had 4+ stars it would automatically go into a playlist called "My top rated" but now there's absolutely no playlists on my ipod (even though I've rated some of the songs on my mac) so I created a playlist, but when I go on my ipod and give something 5 stars, it won't go on to the playlist like it used to... What the **** is happening and how do I fix it? I miss being able to rate songs and have them automatically go into a playlist from my ipod

Hi KiwiAddy!
It sounds like you had a smart playlist set up previously on your iPod. You will just need to recreate this smart playlist with the same rules as you had previously. We have an article that can help you complete this task, and it is found here:

You will also want to make sure that your iPod is updated with the latest software to ensure functionality. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

I have the same problem.. apps won't download and won't open. I have a 1st Gen ipod touch and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro (2012) and as soon as I upgraded the iPod Touch to 4.2.1, this happened. I restored to factory defaults and still cannot dl and open apps. Any way to diagnose this problem? Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.

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.

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

HT5312 I forgot the answers to my security questions and my iPod won't let me buy anything unless I put them in. What do I do?

HELP! iTunes won't let me put music on my iPod

I need help, whenever i try to transfer my music on to my iPod, for itunes, it won't let me put it on my iPod.
I NEED HELP!!!!!

Okay, I see.
That's most likely because you are automatically syncing your iPod.
If you click on your iPod in the Source List of iTunes, and go to the "Music" tab, you are probably selected for "Sync", and either selected playlists, or all songs.
On the Syncing optoin, you cannot drag files to your iPod without setting up your iPod for manually managing, perhaps just temporarily.
See this for details on manually managing your iPod:

IPod Touch 5th gen won't let me put songs on it?

Soo I bought a new iPod the other day and I tried downloading my purchased songs onto it from the iTunes on it and it said they were downloading....but when I go to my music nothing is there. I have tried doing it at least five times and nothing shows up. It also won't let me put songs from my iTunes on the computer on it. It just doesn't show up on my iPod. When I go on iTunes and plug in my iPod it says I have like over 400 songs on it...but like I said, when I go to music on my iPod...there's nothing. Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone help?
Thanks!

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 all music and resync
- Reset all settings

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My ipod won't let me connect to wi-fi, won't let me restore or reset it, and it keeps telling me i knew a passcode for any one and I never set a password up. How do I fix this?

Disabled
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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

Apple says that the Mac was supposed to be erased and taken back to the most recent version of OS X with which it shipped. You should not have any of the previous owner's apps. That violates the Terms of Use for Mac App Store apps.

The password for wireless network was changed. Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

You really should change both the wireless network name and password to avoid potential conflicts with the old and new settings.
Suggest you give that a try.

My iPod won't let me delete certain songs from the device

I'm not sure why, but there are certain songs that I've bought that my iPod won't let me delete. You know when you swipe over the song and red delete button shows up? That just isn't happening for certain songs on my iPod and I can't figure out why. There's probably a simple solution hut I'm not exactly great when it comes to technology so I'd really appreciate it I any one could help me out!

Ipod will not let me put in passcode how can i reset it?

ipod will not let me put in passcode how can i reset it?

If a reset (the method Kevin refers to) doesn't work, you'll probably need to try putting the iPod into recovery mode and restoring it:

If that still doens't work, your iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to taken or sent to Apple for service.

My new iPhone 5 will connect to iTunes, but won't let me put music or pictures onto it...

My new iPhone 5 shows up in iTunes, but won't let me put pictures or music onto my phone. They are both under the same iTunes account and it let me transfer stuff onto my old iPhone 4 before. I don't know why it won't let me now. Both are updated also... Please help!!

Thank you so much! I can't believe I didn't think to check that. I synced it to iTunes, but I didn't think to see if those were checked or not and they weren't. I checked them, and resynced and its working perfectly. Thanks so much!!!
