101 Problems with my iPod Touch and iTunes...Almost

It really feels like I have 101 problems with my iPod touch and iTunes.
For some time now my iPod Touch have been using alot of batterypower and the battery is often discharged very fast. It discharges alot faster now than when I brought the Touch.
Also when I plug the iPod Touch to my computer it doesn't charge, it does the oposite of that, it's disharges and it does that ALOT faster than normal
There is also a problem regarding connecting the iPod Touch to iTunes. It doesn't connect to iTunes directly after I have plugged it in. It feels really random and it lives it own life it seems like.
If I accomplish to connect ut to iTunes it doesn't sync every single time. The computer / iPod Touch hangs and nothing happens. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, like I said before - It feels really random!
Now to a BBIIGG problem. A week ago my girlfriend changed my password on my iPod Touch. When she typed the password into the login screen, it failed, she had forgotten the password / she thought that she picked that password when she changed it. Anywho, I didn't panic becuase I knew that I could lock it up by iTunes.
But, iTunes gives me a error while trying to restore the iPod Touch saying that there is no update avaiable and after that nothing happens. I tried to do the Sleep / Power + Home trick to set the iPod Touch into a recovery mode but iTunes gave me a unknown error.
I tried to update iTunes from my version to the new 8.0 version but when I do so it gives me a error saying that iTunes.msi can not be found and it can't uninstall the previous version :S
So, now I have a unusable iPod Touch, I can't do nothing with it.
Like I said, It's really feels like I have 101 problems ;D.
Lucky I have my old iPod so I can listen to Music :P

Are you running windows xp or vista? I know the solution for vista but not for xp. My mate had the same problem but he has a vista.
Let me know what you are running.

I'm using the remote with my iPod connected to iTunes why can't I search playlists on the iPod? It only lets me search playlists in iTunes

I'm using the remote with my iPod connected to iTunes why can't I search playlists on the iPod? It only lets me search playlists in iTunes and only let's me see the current playlist on the iPod only

You can only sync to one computer.
You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

HT2305 Problem with syncing Ipod classic in Itunes with Windows 8

I am having problems getting my Ipod classic to sync with Itunes. Is 2.0.4 the current firmware for me to use with my Ipod using Windows 8? If not, please let me know what firmware I need to use. Thank you.

Hey catwoman001,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far! iPod software version 2.0.5 is available for the iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009). If this is your model, you may want to update the iPod. If you are having issues with your iPod, the following troubleshooting assistant may help:

Problems with updating iPod to reflect iTunes

Hey all,
I'm having a problem that I hope someone can help me with. I've had my iPod about a year and this problem has only just developed.
Basically, when I connect my iPod via USB as usual, with iTunes open - It does recognise that my iPod is there, but what it doesn't seem to recognise is that it isn't up-to-date with iTunes.
It says very briefly 'updating iPod' like it should do, but then almost immediately says 'update complete' - Like it would if everything had gone well, except it hasn't. Theres lots of songs I've added, renamed etc since my last update, and it wont update them.
Just to try and narrow it down a bit:
- My software is all up-to-date
- My iPod isn't full
- I've tried different USB ports
- And I've tried everything simple like restarting.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Harry

If you take the iPod back to where you bought it they will probably send it to a ASC but if you want to do it yourself here are some ASC's in your area

Q. What if I lost my receipt or proof of purchase?
A. You should check with your reseller, who may be
able to provide a duplicate receipt for you. If you
purchased directly from Apple, go to:
www.apple.com/support/store for a duplicate receipt.
is that true?
I'm not sure about individual store policy but if you bought it from Apple then there will be no error in when it was purchased because you bought it directly from them.

Family with multiple iPods and multiple iTunes - can we share songs?

I am sure I am not the only one in this situation. There are 4 computers in our house, and 3 individuals with there own iPods. Can one iPod owner who has her own library on her PC go to my son's PC and connect to his iTunes Library to get just one song that he purchased? She tried to "drag" a song from his library onto her iPod, but it wouldn't allow her to. She got some message saying her iPod already has it's own library. Are you saying she can't get one song that I paid for? How are we able to share songs on multiple PCs?

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:.

Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

New iPod to new computer with another iPod already in iTunes

My iPod Video was originally loaded to my laptop and I backed up everything to an external hard drive. That iPod was stolen. I just purchased an iTouch and want to keep the iTunes on my desktop computer and the laptop. However, my husband also has an iPod in the desktop's iTunes. I created a Playlist Folder with my name to distinguish between the music settings. How do I move the music from my hard drive to my new playlist without erasing my husband's music?

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Hi MarcelitaL,

If you see your iPod in My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8) but not in iTunes under Devices, try these steps. Start at the top and work your way through the steps until iTunes recognizes your iPod.
If you don't see your iPod in My Computer, follow these steps.

A Mac
An iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch)
An iPod nano (5th or 6th generation) (and you see an alert message in iTunes when you connect the device)

Is this possible to do with my ipod touch on itunes?

Hello there,
In work, myself and some colleagues do a "no skip friday" - we shuffle the entire playlist and are not allowed to skip tracks until the end of the day. A little silly, yes, but it means we keep rediscovering songs we never knew we owned.
My question is - I aim to make this a little more random. I'd like to randomly fill my ipod on friday morning with songs from my library, then when I come home, put the original songs back on my ipod. I think that, if I created a playlist with my current ipod library on it, synced it with my pc, then did autofill (although this advice came from an owner of an ipod shuffle, I'm not sure if this is available to the touch) - and when I'm done with the randomness, I can put the old playlist back on?
Hope this makes sense...

+if I created a playlist with my current ipod library on it, synced it with my pc+,
This is the step I'm not too sure about. Since I don't have an iTouch. I have a nano, and when I plug it in, the music tab has a checkbox to automatically fill free space. So, I could check that for the Friday experiment and then uncheck it when I was done, and not bother making some kind of playlist htat has what is already getting synced to the nano.

Why can't I sync songs with my iPod touch on iTunes

I have recently gotten a new computer, so my ipod has to sync with it blah blah blah. So I synced it with my new computer. It seemed that all my music was there until I played my music. Most songs play like normal, but some songs appear as they are going to play but immediately skip to the next song. Confused, I synced it again. This time it completely took the songs off of my iPod. I checked in my library on the computer, and my songs are still on the computer. Relieved, I tried to put the songs back onto my iPod. With the new update, I click and drag. When I drag, It gives my the option of my iPod and my four playlists. It will let me add songs to playlists, but it will not let me put them onto my iPod nor let me add a playlist to my iPod.

What happens when y swipte a song left or figt? A delete button should appear. Just tap it.

Is it okay to copy files from my Itunes folder to an external drive with my ipod connected and Itunes open?

I'm backing up my Itunes library and dragging files from the Itunes folder on my computer to my external hard drive. Is it okay to do this while Itunes is open and my Ipod is connected to the computer charging?
I'm on a windows 7 computer.

You should always close iTunes before any backup operation on your library. Your iPod will continue charging (but make sure any sync operations have completed before exiting iTunes) - doesn't have to be removed while backing up the library.
