Why won't my iTouch synch my music? Barring that, why won't it restore?

I updated iTunes. Then tried to synch my iTouch. It would not synch my music. After several tries, I attempted to restore to the original configuration. It backed up just fine (as far as I could tell) and moved on to the next step. After an hour and a half of the graph was stuck about a cm from the left of start postion. It will not even show up on the iTunes now. It won't restore. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a viable suggestion? I don't have a sledge hammer at the moment, but I am at the point where I might use it if I had it. Additional info: iTouch 2nd gen, latest iOS installed, PC user (win 7, 64 bit)

Thank you for your responce to my question. Your responce was part of the solution (so far). The iPod got stuck on the screen with the Apple on black. It wasn't recognized by the iTunes at that point. I couldn't shut the device off either. The buttons were never the gretest on the thing. My spouse played with the ipod for a bit and finally got it to turn off. Turning it back on brought up the connect to iTunes screen and iTunes successfully found the device. I then tried to restore it. The first effort resulted in the dialogue box saying it wasn't restored due to and error (6). So I tried again after turning of my personal firewall. It's still restoring aps. I've my fingers crossed. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

HT1386 I am having trouble synching all 1700 songs that I just put into iTunes Music Match onto my iPod Classic device. It worked on my iTouch and iPad devices but not the Classic. How do I transfer the music successfully

It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
- Unsyncing all music and resysncing
- Restoring the iPod
BTW, yo posted in the iPod touch forum

You need iTunes 11.1 or later
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Why can't I restore my iTouch 4th gen?

I have downloaded the ipod software in my laptop, but still, it won't restore. It keeps getting this 'unknown error 3194' when on the verge of restoring. I also tried it in my computer but it gets the same error.
I've searched up on google on what to do but I always get steps on how to restore the jailbroken one. My iTouch's not even jailbroken. Ever. I don't want to jailbreak it cause it will only lose its value. I'm worried that I can't restore my iTouch.
I've also tried help stated in apple.com but it wouldn't get me anywhere. My networks connection is doing fine, I have the latest version of iTunes, and I've tried the on and off thing-y [others would refer to as DFU mode, or force recovery mode or something like that], but I still get this unknown error. What should I do? Please help me. I badly needed to restore my iTouch.
Another details:
I've jailbroken my friends' iPhone in my laptop and desktop. Do you think this is why I can't restore my iTouch? Haaaaa. I don't know what to do.

Ok, it's still under warranty. Your golden. But I think you may still have to cover shipping cost (between 6 and 7 USD).
There is a web page here that explains this.
An Apple Store is not a service center. But they may be able to help you arange service and shipping.
Have you ever sent an computer in for servicing before? Often, once you've set it up, they will have UPS or FedEx drop off a box and then return in an hour for the item. With small electronics, it may not be that complicated. Just a pick up.
Cheers!

HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

HT1386 I've encountered a problem while synching my entire library. After synching I've noticed that only half of my library is playable on my iPhone. And a red circle with a Stop button appears next to the songs that didn't sync. Why is this happening?

You probably have to go through a restore of the phone.
Plug the phone in and launch iTunes, then select your phone from the left side of the menu.
There will be an option to restore the phone and click that button.
That will erase and restore the phone. After it's done, it will ask you to restore from a recent backup, and you can choose to go ahead and restore.
You should be back up and running from there, but may have to do some minor tweeks to get yourself back up exactly as you left off. Some things like your visual voicemail password and email passwords may have to be entered again, but you'll be in good shape.

HT1476 I bought an adapter for my itouch 5 so that i won't need a computer to charge my itouch gen5 - however, i noticed that it was acting up in such a way that i was having difficulty swiping the screen and even tapping the icons.

I bought an adapter for my itouch 5 so that i won't need a computer to charge my itouch gen5 - however, i noticed that it was acting up in such a way that i was having difficulty swiping the screen and even tapping the icons. Is the only option for charging is the USB charger/connector? Or is there a specific device that I should use?

iPhone 5 and the 5th gen iPod touches are having this problem without a charger, and will probably be fixed in the 6.1 update. See http://www.imore.com/iphone-5-touchscreen-behaving-badly-under-multiple-rapid-sw ipes

Hey csumner1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
          - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
          - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
          - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
          - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
          - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
6. Restore using iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

After synching, my 4S refuses to show my iTunes. music library that I believe has been transferred successfully

After synching, my 4S refuses to show my iTunes music library that I believe has been transferred successfully as I used it 2 days ago.

I don't know what would cause a playlist to suddenly disappear on its own, unless you are syncing using wi-fi and your sync settings were somehow changed. You may want to try syncing all your music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then sync it all back on. Hopefully that will re-transfer your playlists and other music and they will stay there this time.

Can anybody explain to me why and why my Mastering Track change itself to a Mastering tool called "Add Presence to Music" and that I know have another Library for Mastering named "Logic" whith other tools than in the ordinary Library?

"Add Presence to Music"

Hi Flemming....
Ok.. First things first..
If I understand what you are trying to correctly....
You have choose a channel strip Patch called "Add Presence to Music" for that track..... so thats where the name is coming from...
Patches are combinations of both plugins and settings.... Like a Multi preset for a synth instead of a single sound preset....
So... don't load in patches if you want to use your own mastering Plugin...
Create a new Audio track... with the Open Library button unchecked in the Create New Track Dialog window..
Now select the Mastering Plugin you wish to use by clicking on the Insert button in the channel strip for that audio track you just created.... and a drop down menu will appear with a list of the various FX plugins you have installed.. Choose the Plugin there... and it will open it's interface...
Next, Select the preset from within the Mastering Plugin's interface itself to choose a preset (not a Patch from the Library...)
Add other FX Plugins etc.. as you wish... by repeating the process... and you can drag them around to change the order of the FX plugins in the signal flow..
Secondly,
Output 2 is set as a mono output.. so thats why it's only playing back 1 'side' of the output.... What happened to the original Output 1 stereo output track?
See how far this gets you.. and we can carry on if needed, later...
Cheers..

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put eveything back.

Can i synch different music to my iphone and new ipad

Hi
new user and bit confused -
is it easily done to synch different music to my new ipad than that i have on my iphone - I have one user account name and one itunes library

With the iPad connected to your computer and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to specify which of your music to sync to it e.g. which albums, artists, playlists etc. ; you can then do similar with the iPhone. You can have different selections for each device, and iTunes will remember those selections the next time you connect the device.

I have "un-synched" all music on my iPhone 5s, but there are still some albums that I can't delete. Suggestion?

I have "un-synched" all music on my iPhone 5s, but there are still a few albums that were not deleted. When I check "On This Phone" in iTunes, those albums that remain show in dark print, while those deleted remain a lighter text. I have followed suggestions by others as to how to delete "All" music on the phone, but nothing has worked. Any suggestions? Thanks!

First of all... You don't need a credit card to make an Apple ID.
To buy Paid apps, you can use an iTunes card or an Appstore card.
Also, I'm not sure you can download music you got from email to your music on your phone.
However, I think you can download the music you got from your email on your computer, transfer it to iTunes, and then sync your phone. That should work.
And I don't think you can share files via bluetooth with other phones.

My music on iPone disappeared when I synched my phone and computer. I uploaded all 32 CDs again to computer. It will not synch the music to iPhone. HELP

My music on iPhone disappeared when I synched my phone and computer. I uploaded all 32 CDs again to computer. It will not synch the music to iPhone. HELP

Some other things to verify:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings check "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library check all the songs you want to sync to your phone
Make sure there are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
Be sure to authorize your computer for all Apple IDs used for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
Then make sure you have checked Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your device.

Why won't my iTouch synch my music? Barring that, why won't it restore?
