Why won't my iPod Touch sync music?

I bought a new Pod touch, 8GB - Black (4th generation).
When I went to sync from restore no music sync'd. Message said iTunes match is on. I turned it off on iPod. Still no music.
I stopped Cloud service a week ago.
Please help/
Thank you.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

Why won't my iPod Touch sync before iTunes crashes?

Last night, I tried to sync my new iPod Touch for the first time. I plugged it in and iTunes recognized it, and the 6 step process began. However, every time it reaches the 2nd step iTunes will shut down all by itself. It is very frustrating since it is a new iPod and iTunes works decently before. Help?
I have also tried re-installing iTunes on the same computer, and the same problem occured. MAybe it was just me, but I am not sure what else to do.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.

Why won't my ipod touch sync all my playlists (like 25 top played or recently added)?

I have tried to sync my iPod and it won't sync all of the playlists. For example it won't sync the 25 most played or the recently added, it won't add any of the playlists that iTunes makes. The playlists are still in my itunes library but they do not show up on my iPod. Even the purchased playlist is letting me delete or edit the list but it never has before.

Do you have any restirctions set on your ipod in Settings/General/Restrictions/ ->App Installation?

Why won't my iPod touch sync with iTunes?

I recently bought a new song and wanted to put it on my iPod. Every time I went to sync it "timed out" and wouldn't show up on my iPod (ie the sync failed). I tried updating iTunes. My iPod won't get any new updates since its 2nd generation. I've tried the diagnostics and everything checks out okay there. My computer is up to date. I thought I'd try to do a restore and now I have less songs and none of my apps. It's now getting "stuck" on other songs from my collection. Any help?

Okay, so I think it may be the cable b/c when I hold it just right it works much better. It still will get stuck on certain songs but when I try again it works.

HT1386 why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again?

After iOS6 update, why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again? It used to sync with iTunes just the new one I marked. Now it seems to syncs the whole set of movies I have. Why?

When you connect the i-touch to your computer do you notice the "Other" portion of the space on your itouch may be over .5gb?
The average space for the "Other" portion is roughly less then .5 GB ... Its the yellow bar in i-tunes when your i-touch is connected ... I had the same issue where the "Other" portion of my i-touch 4 was reading like 5.5 GB, I did some research and found that that space is actually not free space at all, its actually full of left over files and such.
The way to decrease the size is to back up what you have, and restore it. then reinstall all the apps and music and videos. You will notice all that yellow bar is almost gone, and you will have a lot more space!

Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

- Reset the dock
- Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
Also look for a firmware update.
Sometimes this works:
- 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.
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Or, it just may not be compatible.

Why does my new iPod touch sort music by album artist, instead of song artist?

I recently go an iPod touch 4th Gen. My old iPod sorted music by song artist, but the new one sorts it by album artist. My problem is this: There is an album called Re:generation. It was a project in which 5 DJs each made 2 songs for the album. So I enter the info for each song, but my iPod sorts it by album artist, which is listed as "Re:generation". I wanted the songs to be sorted by the 5 artists that actually made the songs, so there would be 2 songs under 5 different artists. If I wanted to listen to the whole album, I could press the album tab, scroll down to "Re:generation" and play the whole album. This all worked fine on my old iPod, but now it doesn't.
My first solution was to change the album artist on each song to the artist that created that song. But then by iPod list 5 different albums, so I can't listen to the album as a whole if I wanted to. My next solution was to erase the album artist info for each song, but now none of the ten songs can be found under the artist tab. I have to go over to the album and pick which song I want to hear.
If you don't understand, here's an example. 2 of the songs on the Re:generation album are by Pretty Lights. I want to be able to select Pretty Lights under the artist tab, choose all songs, shuffle, and have those 2 songs play at some point. But I would also like to be able to got to the album tag, select Re:generation, and play all 10 songs in order. However, the new setup won't allow me to do this.
So I'm wondering if I can fix the problem by somehow editing the iPod's sort settings (if possible), or reverting back to the old system (if possible), and why Apple even changed the system in the first place. It seems pretty stupid to me, and I honestly see no reason to change what I thought was a perfect system.

wow, i really don't have time to read all that, but i'll give you an hint when you're in music library click "More" and then "Composers" i think that's what you're lookin for otherwise just ignore it

Why won't my iPod touch 3rd gen. let me slide to unlock? Could it be fixed for a low price?

I come across my old iPod touch third gen. I charge and boot it up. When it got to the lock screen I couldn't slide it to open. I tried restoring it, and about 15-25 minutes later, it boots up, and I still couldn't open it. I dunno, like 2 years ago, I was charging it. I wanted to listen to my music with my earphones on. But it kept pausing the music, but I don't know why. So I got mad at it, haha, and threw it at the floor. And then I guess it stopped working. A year later maybe, I got an iPad 4th gen. And today I found my old iPod. And then found that it doesn't work. I just want to know if it can be fixed, but I don't think I will use it... There are no Apple Stores in North Dakota, so I don't know. I think the closest one is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. But I can't drive that far..... Just wondering, but doesn't really need to be fixed cuz I have my iPad    I love it so much :) but yeah. Just wondering. Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
