Why does my iPod touch 5th gen 8.1 keep deleting my purchased music from my music library?

I know how to retrieve them, but it's very inconvenient to want a song and not find it.

if you charge it on your computer it could be possible that the settings are resyncing to the setting that were last updated on your computer and dsaved for your ipod

  • Why does my Ipod touch 5th gen not sync podcasts with my Windows Itunes? Both are up to date with versions.

    I didn't see this asked so sorry if this is a duplicate question.
    In Itunes (it is the most recent version for windows available as of 2/12/2014) all my podcasts are showing they have downlaoded to my PC. They don't have the little cloud next to them. I sync my Ipod touch 5th gen. The sync shows everything was synced. I look at the "Whats on this ipod" tab and they are listed. But when I disconnect the ipod via the "eject" icon on the Ipod button in itunes and look at the podcasts they still show as not downloaded (greyed out and if wifi is turned on the little cloud is next to them ).
    So whats going on? I had this issue with my ipod touch 4th gen as well and though it was because the podcast app stopped upgrading but the itunes on windwos did. But the syncing of the podcasts are even worse with the 5th gen then they were with the 4th gen.
    I typically don't have wifi turned on since I want to sync the ipod via itunes. So I have a central place to keep the old podcasts without having to take space on the ipod itself. I saw some references to the downloading of podacasts are done only via wifi, but that just didn't make sense. Why be able to sync Itunes if they are just going to turn around and make you do the same on the device?
    Any ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

  • Why does my ipod touch 5th gen not charge when plugged into my computer? (it keeps stuttering(lightning symbol next to bettery goes on and off literally every second))

    so I have my ipod touch 5th gen connect and the little lightning symbol, next to the battery on the top left, keeps flashing on and off every second. I don't know what to do and also it doesn't show up on iTunes.

    Hey Ed, Try trouble shooting 101. Do you have a different cable and/or charging device? If so, try the different cable first, then a different charging device. If the problem goes away, I'd say it's the cable, replace it. If with in 1 from date of purchase, Apple will replace for free if the cable is found to be defective. If the problem continues with a different cable or a different charging device, then the problem is with your iPod. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the iPod's charging port. Your looking for damage in and around the port. Is the port lose? (shouldn't be). Are pieces missing or damaged? Bent or damaged contact pins can do what you describe. Foreign debris, namely pocket lint or corrosion can also cause charging issues. If you see something like lint, try to blow it out, or if you must use a non-conductive probe, I find a round wooden toothpick works well to carefully remove the lint from the bottom of the port. Just be careful to not touch, bend or damage the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Also make sure the locking pins on the short ends (looks like two silver bumps, one on each end) of the port are free to move. If you find corrosion, try plugging / unplugging about 12 times to clean the contacts off. If you must use a cotton swab cut to fit, with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, you want it damp, not wet, then plug it in and out until the swab comes out clean. You will most likely need several swabs. If you find nothing physically wrong, then try resetting your iPod. If that does not work, restore from backup, last resort, make a backup then restore to new, a full factory restore. If issue continues see your Apple store and have it evaluated for a possible hardware issue. But start with a different or new cable. Good luck, Cheers.

  • Why does the iPod Touch 5th gen 16 GB, not have a rear-facing camera?

    I am looking to replace my daughter's iPod Touch 4th Gen 16GB, but I can not find a model like hers that has a rear-facing camera. The new 5th gen 16GB, only has a front-facing camera, where the 32GB and the 64GB have front-facing and rear-facing cameras.
    My question is, why is that?

    lllaass said it, because thats the budget version, its much cheaper. The 16GB costs 229$ and the other ones with the back facing camera 319$ or 419$.
    Apple always sold a budget version of the iTouch.
    With the 2G in 2008, the 8GB was much cheaper than the 16 or 32 GB.
    With the 3G in 2009, the parallel kept the 8GB 2G for a reduced price.
    The 8GB 4G in 2010 was also cheaper than the 32 or 64GB one.
    In 2012 - June 2013 they kept the 4G iPod next to the 5G.
    And now the only sell one model - which is the 5G due to the fact that only this model can run iOS 7, and they needed to remove a feature in order to reduce the price.

  • Why does my iPod Touch 5th Gen not go back to sleep after a notification?

    No matter what notification it is, my iPod will stay with the screen lit for forever, just resting on the lock screen. I have to physically hit the sleep button to put it back into sleep. I have the auto-lock set for two minutes, and it's now beginning to not even auto lock after that. Anyone run into this? Thanks!

  • HT1975 why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location?

    why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location? i thought it was because updating foursquare. i have erased and restored its settings, but i was able to use my foursquare before even after the restoration, but now it's not working even my location services is on. Though, it can detect location in other areas, but it cant detect my location at home when before it used to check-in using foursquare.

    i tried to log in using my sister's iphone with foursquare and my account was able to check in. so it's all in my ipod's?
    No, the iPhone can determine location by GPS and cell tower locations neither of which the iPod can do.  So the fact that it works on the iPhoe does not tell you anything.  It could be that your router is not in Apple's database.  In that case you will just have to wait until they add it.  Try using a public wi-fi source to see if location works there.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    For other music you will have to get them from where you originally got them

  • Why does my ipod touch 5th generation spontaneously turn off

    My iPod touch 5th gen recently did the latest software update, just yesterday. Then this morning, while battery was fully charged, it spontaneously turned off. I had just looked at my email like 2 minutes previously, then when I picked it up again and hit the home butten, nothing. It had turn off and we had to do the reset by holdint the home button and power button at the same time to get it to turn on.  Is this a software update glitch?  It has never done this before. Or is there something wrong with my iPod?

    Things like that just happen some times.  If it recurs

  • Why doesnt the Ipod touch 5th gen have Battery Percentage with IOS 7?

    I read that the Ipod touch 5th gen will have battery percentage with IOS 7. But so far it doesnt. Just wanted to know if this was a lie or if something happened and apple decided to remove it.

    "Battery percentage in status bar added to iPod Touch (5th generation)"
    I seen this
    and i have seen pictures of the Ipod touch with the percentage next to the battery on the apple website.

  • Why does my Ipod touch 5th generation 32GB   have problems syncing with the latest version of itunes?

    lately My ipod touch, 5th generastion 32gb has difficulty whenever i try to sync it with tht latest version of iTunes. When i go to sync it immediately claims that over 10gb has dissipated into this "Other" section. to fix that i have to do a factory reset, however after the reset has finished and while i am trying to re-sync my music on to my device the sync gets stopped toward the end saying "Waiting for changes to be applied" for hours on end. even then it does not sync. So currently i am unable to use the ipod tough for what it was built as in the first place, a music player. currently i am ratherdissapointed and i would like to find some answers to this problem because this problem is extremely irritating and it has kept me from using the ipod for what i mainly use it for in the first place, music. Ever scince the latest version of iTunes, where the icon became red, i have bee having this major problem. I suggest you work to find an answer to this Problem and fix it ASAP so i can get back to enjoying my portable music player.

  • TS2771 Why does my ipod touch 4th gen not have any sound when on dock?

    My daughter's ipod touch 4th gen did work on a dock and no longer does. I have read a number of pieces of advice - download an update of iTunes, reset to original settings, neither seems to have helped. As it is less than 12 months old, do you think I return this as it is still under warranty? She got a dock for Christmas and is VERY disappointed that her iPod does not work on it, even though her old CHinese copy of an ipod (1st) will work on the dock. HELP!

  • Why does my ipod touch 5th generation completely shuts off even when its charged and then doesnt turn back on?

    This is very frustrating. Like three months ago my ipod touch, 5th generation, just turns off out of no where. It will be charged and working fine but then the screen goes completely black and I can't turn it on. But then after like a day or so it turns back on and works until it decides to shut off again. And the cycle repeats. I'm scared its going to break for good.

  • IPod touch (5th gen) has a hardly any of my music on it while iTunes says it has all the songs on I put on it. WHAT EVIL IS THIS? Help me slay is horrible bug.

    I just got this thing for my birthday after having two 160GB classics stolen in a row and I'm beyond stoked to have my music back. It worked great for a few days and after putting some music on one day, I ejected (safely) it and then unplugged it. NO MUSIC ON THE IPOD.I plug it back in frantically and see that ALL THE MUSIC I put on IS STILL ON THE DEVICE according to ITUNES. However when I open up that sweet music app I've got about 15 songs. My heart has been crushed and another apple product has done be dirty. I have faith in this 4 day old device still. Please help me before I smash it up and throw a piece at every apple store.
    Additional info - I just downloaded the new iTunes (12.1) Maybe then new version is Satan in disguise. The new red logo is pretty convincing however, it was only after I used 12.1 that this happened. It would surprise me the latest and greatest version shorts me. Please help me get my music working again so I can stop complaining about Apple products for awhile.

    Yep the problem is with the new iTunes update (12.1.0.50 for the Mac version, I don't recall the number of the Windows version) and the worst part is that I don't think there's a way to solve the problem except for waiting for the next update hoping it will correct this bug.
    It happened to me too, and to many other users: every time I try to sync the device (I use a 4th gen iPod touch), all of the songs get deleted. I have to put sync them all again (and I have a HUGE number of songs, so it's extremely annoying).
    I tried putting in DFU mode, safe starting, restoring both from backup and as a new iPod on many computers, but nothing of that solved the problem.
    I spoke to an Apple technician but he knew nothing about it, he suggested me there was a problem with my computer (that's impossible, it's brand new, and the problem occurs on other computers too! What's the chance of having the same damage on two different machines - a Mac and a PC - at the same time?)
    Finally, I noticed that if I sync my iPod on a computer with an older version of iTunes the problem doesn't happen.
    All of this was nearly a month ago... still no updates :\

  • Why does my ipod touch (2nd gen) keep crashing?

    I have had it for about 3 years now. I have the latest version i can possibly update to...
    Over the past few months, it has been giving me a fit. Its seems like it has gotten worse...it crashes no matter what app i go to (except a few built in apps that are not very busy, like calculator). Sometimes I may be able to be on an app for 10 minutes without crashing, while other apps wont even let me get to a menu before it crashes. Even some built in apps like safari does it. I'm not sure what to do. Is this normal for the latest version a 2nd gen ipod touch can get? What can I do about this?
