When i plug my ipod into itunes it shows the music i put on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music.

I have a 6th generation ipod nano, When i plug it into the itunes it shows the music i have on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music. What do i do?

You may want to do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If the problem is caused by data corruption in the iPod's storage, a Restore should fix it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi. I just got the iPhone 6, plugged into itunes and made the mistake of putting an OLD back up on my new phone resulting in losing all contacts after 2013. They are not saved on the cloud. Is there any way to go back to before I screwed up?

If you have performed a sync with the device since you restored this old backup, then don't bother looking for another backup. iTunes writes over the last backup each time you sync. If you were handling contacts in iCloud, you would find them by logging into iCloud. Or you can check settings and iCloud and see if the button it on for Contacts. Otherwise it might have been on the computer, if you had a program that syncs with iTunes and handles contacts, depending on the computer system you use. If Windows, it would be Windows Contacts or Outlook. If a Mac, there is a Mac Address book as well.

I am trying to activate my program into my new computer (the old one was run over by a car) and it says I have exceeded my installations. It's Adobe Audition 3 (you can see I've been using it a long time) and I rely on it for work everyday. Please advise.

The activation server for Audition 3 was shut down by Adobe several years ago.
You now need to download the non-activation version provided by Adobe here
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Install then enter the new serial number provided by Adobe at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

I have restored my new iphone 5 but everytime i plug it back into iTunes i am asked if i want to set up a new phone or restore it. I have already set it up and tried to restore it again thinking this might help but i still keep getting the same message. The phone is recognised and shows up in devices but i cannpt sync apps or anything to it.

Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

I shop for for apps on my ipod touch and when i plug my ipod into itunes and it says erase and sync what does that mean?

hello all,
i normally shop on my ipod touch (because frankly i cant be bothered to plug it into itunes then shop! ) to shop for apps and song and etc. and because i have a wall charger in my room theres pratically no need to go the computer! so sometimes when im on the computer i want to use my ipod touch as well so i charge it on the pc.
well to cut the story short everytime i want to shop on itunes it comes up with this note that says "your ipod is synced with a different pc etc" then it comes up with erase and sync? so my question is what does syn mean? because im worried if i choose ok it would get rid of all my apps
- someone help me!

- It means what it says. Your iPod is synced with a different iTunes library. To transfer purchases to this computer:

I have an iphone 4s and recently purchased a 5 for my wife. When I plug her phone into our computer I'm asked if I want to set up as a new phone or back up. I'm not sure what to do her phone is already set up with an icloud account. Can I sync her phone with the player that I have installed and transfer content to her phone or will my phone be removed from the player?

Set up as new, since it newer has been connected to iTunes. Your iPhone will remain on iTunes. I have 4 different devices on my iTunes with no problems.
And regarding the sync - it will sync whatever you tell it to sync on iTunes.

Plugged Windows iPod into Windows computer, shows a corrupt 1st-gen ipod...

OK, I took my formatted Windows iPod to my friends Mac, and got songs off of it.
Then I took it over to another friends house and got songs off his Windows computer.
I brought it back to MY windows computer and now it shows a 1st-gen iPod, stating that it is corrupt and may need to be restored.
HOWEVER, i unplug the iPod and all the music from all computers is intact.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

When I plug my iPod into speakers or earphones, the left speaker or earphone doesn't work

When I plug it into speakers, the left speaker doesn't play anything at all. When I plug it into my earphones, the left earphone plays really low music, static, and REALLY loud bass. My speakers and earphones both work fine with other devices. Any advice?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

I have 4gen Ipod touch. When I try to erase all content and settings the ipod goes to a screen with a USB plug with a round itunes logo at the top and is frozen there.

Why cant I erase all content and settings? When I choose this option from the menu it takes me to a screen with a USB plug and an itunes logo and freezes there.

What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes? That is how you restore to factory settings.

I just updated my ipod touch and when I go into itunes, it shows the icloud icon and I can't see any of my music. I can see that the music is there from my desktop. Is there someway I can shut the icloud "thing" down so that I can just access my music?

I have just updated the itunes software on my two older ipod touches. Now when I try to access itunes. all I get is the icloud icon and it spins endlessly so I never get to see my music library. I can see from my desktop that my music is still on the device. I just want to be able to access my music library. How can I get past the iclud icon?

Does any media now sync to the iPod from this iTunes library?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?

I plug my iPod into my computer. The screen lights up, but doesn't pull a charge from the computer, nor does it register in iTunes. Have used multiple cords, tried on two different computers. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I have no idea what is going on with my iPod. Am I going to have to go to an Apple store?

See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.
