New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

Videos won't play the music after converted in iTunes and put on iPod

I converted some videos in iTunes and then put them on the iPod and there is no sound with the video. Does anybody have the same problem and can you help fix this? Thanks.

I have this same problem also and have found out that you have buy a video from istore to get it to convert to your ipod. If you just add a video already on your cmp to itunes, it will not convert the sound over the itunes, this appears mostly on Window pc's, not as much as a mac to my knowledge.
Good luck

TS1717 I have purchased a preorder album on itunes and it says purchased but wont download

I preordered album on itunes and it says purchased but wont let me download

Hello Jennifer,
I would be eager to download and listen to a pre-ordered album as well. I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted. You can use the steps in this article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If the album does not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the album from the list of past purchases. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the album, you will not be charged again. You can find the steps to do this in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you are still not able to download the album, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:

HT1320 I have a new IPod Touch 5G, 32 gb and suddenly it will not turn on, and will not restore using UTunes. Any help appreciated.

I have tried many times to restore my new IPod Touch 5G in I Tunes and it will not allow me to do it. My Ipod will not turn on at all even when on a fresh charge. Only displays the arrow leading up to ITunes logo. I have tried the method of holding the home button and on button and this does not work. Any help appreciated.
My I Pod was working fine until the day I updated the software to 6.0.1.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why will some M4A songs will not play on my iPhone 4s? They play just fine in iTunes and on my iPod Nano.

I bought my first iPhone on Saturday. After syncing all of my iTunes music to my brand new iPhone 4s, I soon realised that a great deal of m4a files would just not play. If I did attempt to play one of these tracks, it would just skip to the next one.
What really perplexes me is that all of my iTunes music plays without a problem in iTunes. On top of this, ALL of my music plays on my iPod Nano. Why is this just happening on my iPhone 4s?
Is this something to do with iOS 5? Will an update fix it?
Please can someone help!?!?

An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

If you transfer any iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided indicating this beforehand.
Authorize the different computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all apps on your iPhone to the iTunes library.

My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?

My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?

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
- 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.
- Restore from backup.
In order to restore with the unknown Restrictions passcode you will likely have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I downloaded the new version of itunes and now my ipod cant sync

I recently downloaded the most recent version of itunes, and now all my playlists are gone and when I try to sync my ipod it says that all of my music will be deleted because my ipod is syncd with a different library. I am afraid that this means that all my playlists will be deleted, and I don't want to have to go through all my music and make new playlists. I just want to keep what I have. How can I do this? Can I get rid of this version and go back to the one I had? Is there a way around this problem?

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to be locked up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano;

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
