RESTORED IPOD AND NOW PROBLEM PLAYING MUSIC

By accident I restored the factory settings on my ipod and now when I sync it all the music is "grayed out" in my playlists and library and I can't change my play lists and manage my music. It does go on my ipod, but we have 2 ipods on this computer and I want to have my own playlists again. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes you can use the iCloud beta. See:

My ipod touch stopped playing music in the middle of a song and now stops playing music. It says that it's playing a song but i don't hear anything. I've tried turning it off and on and restoring it's settings.

So like the title (which i thought was suppose to be a question to tech support) suggests, my ipod touch has stopped playing any audio sound. I've turned it off and on and restored it to it's default settings and still nothing. If it helps, it stopped playing music a few minutes after i accidently had some water on it.

- First place the iPod in a sealed container/bag of rice for a couple of days. Change the rice daily. Do not turn on or charge before it is dry.
- The try the standard fixes, reset and restore, including restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
- Try both headphones and speaker.
- If no usccessful then the water caused permenent damage to the iPod and service is required.

Hi there i have formatted my ipod and it wont play music that i have loaded onto it

i have formatted my ipod and my computer has deleted all the settings and now i i carnt listen to music is there anything i can download to fix this

Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is your iPod firmware number as shown in iTunes summary?
What do you see on the iPod Screen?
Have a nice day

Downloaded new format yesterday and now when playing music the sound is low for first few seconds of each subsequent track. Is this a bug?

Under new format when playing music each track after the first starts in low volume then kicks in within 3 seconds. very irritating. is this a bug?

I'm having the same issue on my iPad (the "new iPad" / 3rd gen with retina display and 30 pin dock connector) after downloading iOS 7 (is that what you meant by the new format, updating to iOS 7?).
The music will play quietly for a few seconds then it will play at the volume it's supposed to.

I restored my iPod and now all my music isn't syncing

I restored my iPod because it had a button on the screen that wouldn't go away. Before I restored it, I backed it up on iTunes. Then I hit restore from backup and all my apps got put back on my iPod but only about 100 out of 400 songs were synced onto my iPod. All my songs are even in the library! I tried to sync it again but that didn't do anything. How do I get the other 200+ songs back on my iPod?

What exactly happens when you try to sync? Any errors?
Do the non-syncing songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method

RESTORED ipod and now cant locate purchased music

How can I retrieve already purchased items from itunes once I have restored my ipod touch?

So i got this laptop today, and i'm trying to put my iPod music on it. i got the music but it only plays when my ipod is plugged into it. when i unplug my ipod, and try to play music, it says cannot play previous purchases... someone please help!!

someone please help me!

The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: Without syncing:File>transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Have you not got the music on your computer and/or on backups on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs ?

My daughters Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today. We have updated, restored etc and will not play any music as in no sound coming from it. It is almost fully charged and played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today. We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it. It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow.

I had to restore my iPod and now none of the songs want to play.

I had to restore my iPod and now none of the songs want to play. I press play, it goes to the song screen, then around 5 seconds pass without the song starting and then it skips to the next song where the same thing happens. And that just keeps happening over and over and over again. Also when I plug in the iPod, the pinwheel shows up on iTunes for a while and then the 13010 error message pops up but the iPod still shows up in iTunes. I'm so lost. Please help!

I have two apple ID's on my laptop, one is mine and one is my roommate, I recently restored my iPod and now when I try to sync to iTunes it says sync will complete ones a song is available, what do I do?

Try syncing songs one at a time to see if there is a problem song(s).
Do the songs play in iTunes on the computer?

Can't restore iPod and the music I had has disappeared

My iPod 20 Go wasn't functioning very well, it often played fragments of songs and often skipped songs. And now all the music I had on my iPod has disappeared, iTunes doesn't reconise the iPod and I can't restore it. The iPod seems to be working correctly but the music is not there. In explorer I can see my iPod which seems to be working correctly, I can even open the disc manually and I found that the music that was there hasn't been deleted even if the iPod's settings say that all the 20Go are still free.
What should I do?

You could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
You can also check the iPod's hard drive for errors using Windows ScanDisk.
Put the iPod into disk mode as previously mentioned. Go to "my computer" and right click on the iPod then select "properties", then "tools". Select the option to scan the disk for any errors.
To exit forced disk mode, reset the iPod.

How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

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 usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
