First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

I recently have reset my ipod touch 4g with a new apple id and cannot download Facebook,Skype or any app that reqires ios7 or later but ipod 4g can only have ios 6.1.6
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists. -
I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one? It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!! THANKS!
I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

Synch my ipod touch 4 with a new hard drive
I have a new hard drive - the old one crashed - how can I synch my ipod touch 4 with the new drive?
= Transfer iTunes puhases to the new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music using third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Make a backup of he iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
If you are in the USA you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Basically the title of the discussion. Please help.
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.
- 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

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

Sir,
On the hope that latest version of itunes will work more for me, I downloaded the itunes version 12 recently. But to my surprise the sync button is not there even if I connect the ipod ( classic iOS 1.3 version). My ipod serial No.is 8L730BL1V9M and it is ipod classic with buttonwheel. I am having 32bit Windows vista home premium and using DELL system. How I can find sync button and for your information, the itunes player window shows every song I have in the library and I cannot sync the songs to my ipod. Hitherto there was no such problem for playing and copying songs from and to my ipod. What is the remedy ? please tell if anybody knows.
Ananthapadmanabhan, Salem, Tamilnadu, South IndiaHello ramaraoananthapadmanabhan,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the new version of iTunes. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing in iTunes when you have your iPod classic connected. If you are having issues setting up syncing to your iPod in the new version of iTunes, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

I recently bought a new computer and my other one crashed. All my songs, apps, videos and moviesa are gone but they are still on my iPod Touch 4G. Is there any way I can transfer them to my iTunes Library? (Most of them haven't been purchased)

Will Apple exchange my iPod touch 4g with a new one if my current one is deffective
Ok so, I got my iPod touch 4g (white) on June 19th after i made a bet with my moms boyfriend to not drink pop for a year
So when I opened the iPod, it wouldnt connect to wi-fi. Guys, dont ask me to reset network settings or anything, because..
IVE TRIED E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G, but nothing has worked. So I called Apple and the guy on the phone said to go and make
an appointment at the Genius Bar, so i did, for 1:30pm today.
So my question is: Since the guy told me it's probably a deffective product, will Apple exchange my current iPod
for a new one? (my current one has no scratches, still has the headphones & charger, with the manuals, the box, stickers & everything)
Thank youuwhat do you mean by a refurbished one?
Like a used one?? But what if i return the whole packaging (i kept the manuals & stuff, like everything )
Could the person at the Genius Bar then give me a new one if I return the whole packaging ?
Lol sorry for all the questions, I'm just really worried :/ -
Why doesn't my ipod touch work with my new Honda f6b motorcycle?
So, when I try to play music through the (new, unaltered, factory) stereo, the Ipod will randomly freeze. Sometimes it will resume, sometimes not. Sometimes I get an "unplayable" message or a "incompatible usb" message. Sometimes not.
Latest software up to date, etc. Android devices and old Ipods work fine. Also I purchased a brand new lightning-to-usb cable, thinking that would help. It did not.
Is there a patch/upgrade/app that can help this? It's VERY frustrating that Apple's "best" Ipod is the only one that does NOT seem to work!No update from Apple. Have you contacted Honda/went to their support site?
Sometimes this works
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Sometimes it just is not compatible with specific model iOS devices/iOS version. Sometimes and iOS update breaks compatibility. -
Sync iPod touch 4G with a new computer?
My hard drive died, and I want to re-sync all of my music (most is not iTunes, and therefore cannot be redownloaded), apps, photos (my Pictures folder was lost), and any other iTunes media. It's authorized in itunes, but it says it'll remove all the music and replace it with only the iTunes music. I also need my apps to be synced. Please help.
After transferring your purchases, back up manually.
Right click on your ipod in the device list and choose backup. A backup without the sync process will be made, see what's saved here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After that is completed, make sure that you have at least one contact and event set up on your computer, to be able to merge contacts and calendars during the sync process.
Your device will be erased during the first sync, but you can use the manual backup to restore all your data and settings.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0 -
I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen. I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me.
You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
If on your iPod now:

You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud -

I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.
- First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: 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.
- Next try downloading/installing a new app
- Restore from backup
- Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod. this is last result since you will lose app data.
