Since last sync on iPod Touch 1g, music crashes after playing 1st song.

Since the last sync on my iPod Touch 1g, both the 3rd party apps and the music app would crash after opening (music after playing 1st song). I found a fix online for the apps, but how do I get my music to play again?

I have had a similar hiccups with my 3G ipod touch 64gb after updating it with the new iOS 5. While syncing in iTunes on my MacBook, the storage bar on the bottom will show that most of the space is taken up with my songs that I want synced from iTunes but when I go to use the iPod touch after ejecting it from the MacBook the songs are listed in a ghost like consistency but the actual files are not there and I can't get any response when I touch the song title or album that I want played. In fact, when looking at the "About" inquiry screen within the Settings on the ipod touch, it shows that most all of my space is unused. Where are the phantom files, and why doesn't a synch work as smoothly as before? Conversely, my 4G ipod touch works flawlessly, so far, with the new iOS 5. I am afraid that the new iOS 5 isn't ready for prime time when it comes to the 3G ipod touches. Have any others had a similar problem when it comes to synching music, which used to sync flawlessly without problems, to their 3G ipod touches with the new iOS 5 upgrade?

Can I sync my IPOD Touch on my PC after my Laptop HDD crashed?

Laptop hard drive had a physical crash. My Itunes library was on laptop. I have authorized the laptop and the PC but I want to be able to sync the songs I have on my device to ITunes on the PC. This doesn't seem to be possible? Is there any way?
I have already noted that purchased content is lost because I did not have a backup but what about content that is not purchased?
Any answers would be appreciated

If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files (including purchases) and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

ITunes-purchased TV shows sync to iPod touch (2G), but don't play

I've been fiddling with this for days now, trying to prep my daughter's iPod touch (2G, iOS 4.1) for a long family trip. Any suggestions here are much appreciated.
I purchased Vol. 1 of "Road Runner & Wile E Coyote" (a collection of 7 cartoons) via the iTunes store earlier this week. The files were downloaded without incident. I can play all of them on my MacBook Pro and iPad through the usual applications and apps. But... before I tried playing them on those devices, I tried -- unsuccessfully -- to sync them to the iPod touch, using iTunes (10.0.1, Mac OX 10.6.4).
When I sync, all the episodes are properly checked for syncing in "Sync TV Shows". The thermometer-like bar at the bottom of that window in iTunes shows that they will be added to the iPod and that there is plenty of room for them. After syncing, the files have definitely been added to the iPod: you can see the progress of the sync in iTunes, and another 1 GB of file space on the iPod has been consumed.
But I can't find them on the iPod to play. The "Videos" count in Settings > General > About is unchanged when I add or delete these shows, and they do not appear for playback in the "Videos" app. When I add or delete episodes of other TV Shows (also purchased through the iTunes Store), they appear or disappear as expected. There seems to be something about these shows (or their files) that trips things up.
In iTunes, the Advanced > Create iPod or iPhone Version menuitem is grayed out; I assume that the files downloaded from the iTunes store include both HD and SD versions.
So... iTunes believes it has copied them over, the files are copied over, but they remain invisible in the UI of the iPod.
Has anyone a suggestion for what I might try next?

If you purchased an HD show, did you sync the SD or HD version?

My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't play certain songs?

Okay, so here's what happened. I opened my iTunes (the latest one) and it's also on the latest iOS, and then plugged my iPod touch into the computer. Since an album didn't have album artwork and I wanted an album artwork to show up in my ipod, I added them. After that, I let it sync. After that, I tried to play it but it won't play. Since it is a bunch of songs from an album (Adele-19), when I try to press and play it, it would skip swiftly and it won't play. The album artwork is there already but it won't play, instead, it will skip songs. When I tried to play it in iTunes, it works perfectly.
Also, I've tried turning the device off, even tried resetting it. But no luck. I just got this device last Christmas, didn't fall or anything. Can someone help me? Should I delete the music and put it on iTunes again? Thanks in advance!

Yes, do that.

4G iPod Touch - All Apps crashing after multiple restores overtime

I don't know what to do anymore - I don't even care that my 32 GB iPod touch works like an old school mini iPod anymore. I just want my music and kindle apps to work. Just two apps. Everything is always crashing. Forget about browsing any information on Safari or using any kind of social media app. I can't even do Google Maps - ha! Basically, I've restored multiple times over the last couple of months now. I have researched high and low and don't know what to do anymore.
For one, this is annoying because not only do I have to back up my photos, I have to put all my music back on again and the information in some apps does not transfer. A fresh restore is not fun. Restoring from backup doesn't seem to help either.
And yes, I am on iOS6 and I strongly believe it has to do with this. Ever since this update all has let loose. And the touch users got shafted.
Do any of you deal with this?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (not from backup) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

IPod touch 5th gen... play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order?

Hi.
On my old ipod classic I can play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order. Is there a way to do this on the ipod touch 5th gen? I can see how to play all songs by an artist but only in alphabetical order, not one album after another...
Thanks,
J.

You can't please everyone ... some people want to be able to find a particular song by an artist and can't remember the name of the album from which it comes. By sorting all songs by an artist alphabetically you can go right to it. But I agree with you, I'd much prefer album order. Submit your feedback via the link provided, and yes the workaround is to create an On The Go playlist, or create one in iTunes.

How to sync from ipod touch

how do i sync my ipod touch with music on it from a diferent computer without deleteing the music on it.

You need to move your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computers files/docs/pics/music/etc for this very reason.
What's more,you can refer this article about how to transfer or copy music from iPod to computer, which included an easy guide to work out that.
Cheers.

All went well until this error message popped up; "Some of the items in the iTunes Library, including "headstrong", were not copied to the iPod "Sam's iPod" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." ok so I go and authorize it type in my PW and Apple ID correctly and get this error message!; "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please Try Again later."
I run diagnostics and this is what I got and pass all the tests except for the CD in the drive, could anyone please help? It won't allow me to sync any apps to my iTouch and half of my purchased music.

Are you on a Mac? I found this [Type -36 error (I/O Errors (bummers)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2433]
This file is having difficulty while either reading from the drive or writing to the drive. The file
may have been improperly written data to the drive or the hard drive or disk may be damaged.
This is almost always indicative of a media error (hard error on the disk). Sometimes (rarely) it is transient.
Solutions: Try copying the file to another drive. Use a disk recovery software, such as Disk First Aid to examine the disk. You can try rebooting with all extensions off. Once in a while this will allow you to read the data. The file in question should be restored from a backup that was stored on a different disk. Regular backups can reduce the time to recover from this error.
Hope that helps.

CANT SYNC MY IPOD TOUCH SINCE I JOINED MATCH

SINCE I SUBSCRIBED TO THE CLOUD I CANT SYNC MY IPOD TOUCH TO MY COMPUTER. I ALSO CANNOT PLAY SONGS IF NOT CONNECTED TO WIFI. HELP!

Hi,
Manual syncing of music in tunes match is not possible. All you music that has been matched, uploaded or purchased is available on your iPod touch.
As the music is in the cloud you can only listen to it when you have a wifi connection. You can pre-download tracks whilst you have a connection.
If you want to manually sync specific tracks or playlist, you can turn off match to manually sync and then turn back on match to allow you to access other tracks whilst you have a wifi connection.

I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.
