Why has my ipod asked to be restored so often?

Twice within the last 2 weeks, my ipod has asked to be restored. I don't sync it with itunes very often so therefore I lose items on the ipod. The battery gets drained pretty often and I'm wondering if that is why it needs to be restored?

If you let the battery fully drain that could cause the iPod to need to be restored after charging. It could also be due to a hardware probem or some corruption inthat is now in the backup. You could try restoring to factoery defaults/new iPod and see if that fixes the problem.

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 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.

Why does my iPod ask for a activation from my old Apple ID?

I got a new charger for my iPod and it was stuck in a recovery loop, and now when I restored it it asks for my little brothers Apple ID and we don't know what it is.
Please don't say useless stuff like oh you can't do it

That is the activation- lock anti-theft feature

You will have to get your brother to enter his password.

If I delete a song on my iTunes, why does my iPod ask me if I want to transfer it back?

I get a message during synch of my iPod (Classic) that says "there are purchases on your iPod that are not found in your iTunes library - do you want to transfer these?" This always makes me paranoid that maybe I have songs I want on my iPod that somehow aren't in my library, so I used to say "yes"....but then after a while, it seemed apparent that what was "missing" from my library are songs I have purposely deleted. So then I was going through this endless loop of deleting, then transfering back, then deleting, then transfering back, then deleting......
So, my question is: if I delete a song or game or whatever in my iTunes library, shouldn't it then just remove it from the iPod? As I mentioned above, I find it confusing/alarming when it starts asking me if I want to transfer stuff back from my iPod. Not sure how to tell what it is that it wants to transfer back? Is there any setting that would tell iTunes that when something is deleted in the library, go ahead and delete it from the iPod?
Thanks!

If there a way where I won't have to delete it?
I have these on my phone, ipad, home computer, and work computer. If I listen to something, then I may have to delete 2 or 3 times on all these devices.
Thanks

Why does my ipod music library need restoring several times a day?

I recently updated my ipod touch to the newest software and the whole music library was removed and restored from backup, this did not seem to be a concern until later on that day my library was wiped clean, the ipod was not connected to the comuter while the songs were wiped, i just tapped the music app and it said that my library was empty.
This is very annoying as every time this happens i need to restore my ipod which can take a couple of hours, please help!

Sounds like the 'genius' wasn't much of a genius. There are many people that run/jog with their iPod with no problems. I've dropped mine off a table onto a hardwood floor and had no problems. Sounds like you have a lemon. If you recently purchased it, I would look into exchanging it.

Why does my Ipod ask me to double tap to open everything.

All of a sudden I have a voice telling me what each button is when I click on it....I have to double tap to open any app and my screen won't slide. Anyone know how to fix this?

Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store

Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.

Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.

Why does my Ipod keep freezing up during playback,

Why does my Ipod 3 keep freezing up? I have reset it as discribed in the online help 4 different times and it still freezes.
I at first thought it was due to the song was an MP3 but it has since froze on ACC and CDA audio. This would tell me it isn't the format that is causing it to freeze.

By a reset do you mean an actual hard reset of the device or a restore of it in iTunes? If it was the former, try a restore of the device in iTunes. If it was the latter, your iPod likely needs servicing.

Why does my ipod keep on deleting my photos

why does my ipod keep on deleting my phots after i download it to the computer?

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
- 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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:

Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library. For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
Details -
4th Generation
I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
(e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
881 MB are still left
Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.
