Why cant i get any songs to go on my ipod touch when I sync it?

I have synced my ipod several times in the past. It is only 5 months old. I have owned several ipod and an ipad in the past and never had this problem before. I synced it tonight to add a few songs. I have "sync only checked songs" clicked. I finished to sync and checked the ipod and there were many songs missing. I tried a few more times and still could not get all of the songs on there. I then tried restoring the ipod. I synced it after the restore and there were no songs, videos, apps, or anything on the ipod. I have since restored and synced it several times with no success. There is NOTHING on the ipod. It shows it syncing, it shows ech song going on there and each video and when the sync completes, there is nothing on hte ipod. I have used all 4 usb ports and 3 different cables just incase it was a problem with one of those. Does anyone know what to do? Has anyone else had this problem? oh, and this happened right after I updated to 4.3.3

I have exactly the same problem and am extremely frustrated. I have reset it, restored it rebooted the computer and stil nothing at all. This is a very recent problem as I have synced it only a few weeks ago with no problem.

When I try to transfer songs from itunes library to ipod touch it says sync in progress but songs are not on my ipod touch?

When I transfer music from itunes library to my ipod touch, it says sync in progress on ipod touch, however, the songs don't show up on ipod touch. I have transferred songs in the past with no problem. Not sure what is different now or what I'm doing wrong-I am very new at this and any help is greatly appreciated.

How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

I can't get any sound to work on my ipod touch

I cannot get any sound on my ipod touch. When I am listening to music the volume bar is not visible and when I am on my apps it says no volume available. Anybody have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

Here is what Apple Says: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2771
No sound through internal speaker*
Verify that the iPod touch is not set to pause.
Verify that the volume is set appropriately.
Verify that headphones are not attached to the headphone port.
Verify that Bluetooth stereo headphones are not paired wirelessly.
Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
No sound through headphones*
Verify that there's no debris in the headphone port.
Plug and unplug the headphones. Reconnect headphones and verify the connector is pushed in all the way.
Check the volume setting on your iPod touch.
If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music is not paused.
Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPod touch with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
Try another set of Apple headphones.
Try a different song or video.
Check other content, such as videos, to see if they exhibit the same audio issues.

Why cant i get my songs back in my iphone

ok so i recently got a new phone and tried to restore a back up from my old phone. everything was fine but i noticed for some reason some of the songs in one of the albums wouldnt copy. after seeing it was due to the files being moved i recopied them again into my playlist and phone and deleted the missing unplayable files. despite this only one song went missing and i was like no big deal it's just one song. so i kept getting new music and then after a synch, the song was back in the phone, however, half of the other songs from the album went missing. and i tried to put them back in my phone and it wont let me, like it doesnt even show to be synching or any signs of it doing anything. i made over 5 playlists to copy in the phone because this is how i resolved my issue last time. however it still showed that only one song. so i thought maybe if i delete the album off my phone maybe i can get the whole album back no problem. so i did but now i can't even get that one song back literally my iphone won't do anything after i try to drag the music to it and i made playlist after playlist and nothing and i just want to know why cause it is not the first time this has happened where i synch and songs go missing or the artwork is missing in my phone but not on the computer and i really dont know what i'm supposed to do like this update made so much stuff unecessarily complicated and i dont know how to use it or what i can do to get that album back because everytime i synch it songs go missing or songs i deleted three months ago come back instead of the ones i want to actually be back on my phone or it deletes artwork for the albums please help i'm very frustrated every move i make is a mistake

In general when syncing the device won't give the desired results the following steps should work.
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.

Why cant I open any messages or emails from my Hotmail account when using Firefox browser but works fine using IE browser

When I open my Hotmail account while using Firefox as my browser I am unable to open any email in both Inbox and Junk. I can reload either one and it will sometimes work for a short time. However if I switch to Internet Explorer browser it all works great.

Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

TS1382 I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist. However, the song is stored on the iPod once. What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?

because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

I have a gen 3 ipod and can't get it into disk mode. In itunes it does not have the option and I cant figure out how to do it on the ipod touch itself. Any ideas?

If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
