My ipod touch can´t play some music any more

my ipod touch can´t play some music any more. iTunes don´t transfer it to my ipod touch but the capacity is taken. Can someone help me please?

My problem is a bit different, but I suspect not really unrelated. With very few exceptions, my entire music library on my iPod Touch is mixed up since updating to iOS 5. Albums display with incorrect album artwork, and contents of the albums is a jumbled mix of unrelated songs (could be any song from my library). And they won't play. The library is fine on my computer.
I removed all of the music from the iPod, then re-synched it with no improvement.
I also removed all apps other than those that come with the iOS, thinking it may be an incompatibility. Also no improvement.
My next attempt was going to be restoring to original settings, but it sounds like folks have tried that with no luck.
I hope Apple is reading these posts and looks into what sounds like a myriad of issues with the new iOS!

New iPod touch just stopped playing videos

I just got my iPod touch last night and it has been perfect till just now. The mail program froze and after I reset the iPod it won't play video. Not YouTube or ones I uploaded from iTunes. It stays on the opening image, has no sound and won't turn to landscape but says it is playing. I tried reseting it again but no go. Haven't tried connecting to the computer yet but will when I have access. The iPod was being charged with the Apple USB charger when it happened if that means anything.

I just figured it out. The charger was making it go to tv on. Duh

IPod Touch can't play Internet videos

I was using my iPod touch fine last night to watch videos on the Internet. Then suddenly it kept coming up with a big page of confusing writing which looked a bit like computer code whenever I tried to load a video. On the BBC's iplayer the video does not load at all. However I can watch YouTube videos an there is no problems with them. This only happens on Safari. I have tried other web browsers from the app store and they are fine.
I have cleared cookies, history, cache in safari settings, restarted, checked for updates, recharged it. The only thing left is to try a restore but I have a lot of FAA on my iPod so dont want to do this yet.
Has anyone else had the same problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

How would I know how much credit to give you?
Sometimes the most advanced users overlook a setting or two.
This same advice has helped many posters and may help some of the others that have been involved with this very post.
If you assume that everyone has tried everything, then there would be very few answers provided on the forum.

IPod touch no longer playing video podcast

Hi there...bit new to all this so please bear with me.
Since getting my iPod touch at xmas I have been enjoying a weekly video podcast...it downloaded to my iPod either via iTunes or by by iTunes wi-fi on the touch and I had no problems.
All of a sudden if I download via iTunes that "podcast will not be transferred to iPod because of file format incompatability" and if I download direct to iPod via wi-fi it will play the audio with a Quicktime logo in the backgroud. All highly annoying.
I have read the solutions on these boards about getting iTunes to convert the podcast and thats fine - but takes ages!
I just don't understand why it used to work - and now doesn't!
The upgrade to version 2.2.1 (which i did this morning) hasn't made any difference at all...
Hope someone can help me with this.

First go to Sony's support site. and see if there is a firmware update or other information for your dock.
Sometimes this works:
Reset the dock
- 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
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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and y will hae to wait for an update to fix the problem

Safari on iPod Touch will not play WAV voicemails

Our campus voicemail system is accessible through a web browser and plays back its audio in WAV format (using the GSM6.10 codec). If I use Safari or Firefox on OS X it plays the voicemail, but when I use Safari on the iPod Touch it tells me that it "cannot play movie: Movie could not be played."
Wouldn't it make more sense for a mobile platform to support as many of the .WAV codecs as possible, especially if the desktop OS already does?

I worked with another person a week or so ago and the issue is the limited mobile Safari version support for playback.
However, the touch MAIL program has no problems playing WAV files.
What I suggested the OP do was set up a Gmail account and set their touch up to download that Gmail account. They then forwarded the email with voice mail to their Gmail account and were able to play it back.

IPhone/iPod Touch can't play movies placed into wiki

I have been testing the wiki services on our new Leopard Servers and have come up against a really annoying problem I cannot view movies placed into wiki pages using our iPhones and iPod Touch systems. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I have posted the same issue. They did work prior to the 2.0 upgrade.
We are getting some javascript errors that I think are pointing towards the problem.

My iPod touch 5th gen can't play videos?

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen since Christmas Eve and I haven't had any problems with it, but a few days ago it stopped playing videos and now - even though I have turned it off and back on and turned the wifi off and back on again - it still can't play videos off any site, Facebook, dailymotion, YouTube, nothing. But I can view webpages and get Internet connection just fine!!
So if you know what I could do to fix it please help because it's very frustrating!!! Thanks

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

Ipod touch can no longer tilt while playing Temple Run or Back Breaker Football

IPOD Touch can no longer tilt while playing Temple Run or Back Breaker Football or any game where you need to control the tilt or turn.

Managed to finally factory reset the unit (see my other post).
Should be OK now.

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
