Why can't I play music on my 4g iPod Touch post-iOS5 upgrade?

I upgraded to iOS5 last night and now my iPod won't play music files.  Can navigate through my library but once I tap a song to play it freezes in the now playing screen (i.e. the song doesn't start).  Anyone having a similar issue?

I finally called apple and got to talk with a live person after holding 15 minutes. Basically the fix (for my IPod 4G at least) is re-syncing the music. That is basically connecting the IPod to your PC and under the music tab un-checknin the Sync Music button, allowing it to remove all the music files, then reconnecting and by checking the Sync Music Files selection allowing all the music files to reload, which for +2000 song files takes a few hours.
It fixed the original problem I had.

  • Why can't I add HD videos to my iPod touch?

    So I recently bought an iPod touch, and I haven't had trouble with it until now. I downloaded a free TV show extra thing and it's in HD & SD, and it downloaded fine and everything. But when I tried to add it to my iPod, a popup comes up with the message: "Blah blah blah" was not copied to the iPod "Michaela's iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    Why? I tried to do the "Advanced Settings" and convert it, but the convert option is grayed out and I can't choose it. I thought the iPod touch could play HD (and I do have another HD video on it currently), so why can't I add this new HD/SD video to my iPod? And I know there's enough space because I have 24.6 GB free space.

    It's the screen format see below.
    The iPad and iPhone 4 can play High Definition (HD) content and Standard Definition (SD) content. iPods and the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS can play Standard Definition (SD) content. To find what video formats are supported, see the Tech Specs page, click your device's product family, and then your specific model. All HD purchases from the iTunes Store also include an iPod/iPhone-compatible Standard Definition version to accompany the HD version. When syncing an HD purchase from the iTunes Store, iTunes will automatically sync the SD video for devices that require SD content.

  • Why can't I play music from the cloud on my laptop?

    So I recently uploaded all my music in the iCloud from my PC Desktop computer in hopes that I could play this music remotely from my laptop. Unfortunatly, it's saying I can't within 40 days when I turn on iMatch. So what's the problem? Do I need to wait 40 days in order to play music in the cloud on other devices? Or is it saying I can never play music from other computers even if I sign in with my own Apple ID?

    I know you're saying that, but I can't think of a reason why you would be getting a warning that you couldn't play music within 40 days of turning on iTunes Match unless you changed IDs.  This article explains this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
    If you feel you are getting this in error, try contacting iTunes store support and ask them what's going on, by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Other iTunes Store Topics>The topic is not listed.

  • Why can I only play music on my iPad if online?

    Can anyone explain to me how to download my WHOLE music library from the cloud so that I can play music also when not online? Not song by song which would take weeks, but the whole library at once.. I hope question is clear enough..

    That means you didn't do it properly. Use that article, make sure you do see those tracks in itunes and they do not have clouds next to them before you sync.

  • Why can't I access iTunes from my new iPod touch?

    I have my new iPod touch for three days now.  I got it on Christmas December 25, 2013. iTunes is working fine up until yesterday(December 27, 2013) Every time I try to open iTunes it says feature is no supported and then under that it says this feature is no longer supported and then has an okay button.  I tested it and iTunes on my mom's iPhone works perfectly fine.   I would like to purchase some new music. Can anyone tell me why it says "this feature no longer supported"? Please help!

  • Why can't I enable disk use on my Ipod touch?

    I wish to use my ipod touch as an external hard-drive. I have watched videos on how to go about it and they show that there is a greyed out check box that must be checked. This check box does not exist for me. Why not? and is it possible to enable disk use?
    MY ipod is an ipod touch 4th generation, 8gb, ios 6.1.6
    Itunes version - 11.1.5

    You just be looking at instructions for the older iPods. None of the iOS devices such as the iPod touch have ever supported disk use. There are third-party utilities that purport to provide workarounds to allow such use, but I have no experience with any of them so I can't make any recommendations.
    Regards.

  • HT4623 Why can't I update my iOS on my iPod touch

    I am unable to add any apps to my device due to the iOS I am running but when I tried to update it I was not able to. Why is that ? Please Help.

    If you have an iPod Touch 2, iOS 4.2.1 is the last iOS supported on that device.
    You will not be able to add newer iOS apps, but you still can choose from well over 60,000 vintage iOS apps.
    The trick is finding them. One way you could try,
