I have downloaded music but it appears on my ipod greyed out. In desperation I reset my ipod and went through all the suggested fixes but no luck. I still have about 12 g space available on the device and will appreciate any help!!
iPod Touch (4th Gen)
I believe that Apple Music requires iOS 8.4 or higher on the device. Your 4th generation iPod Touch can only go as high as iOS 6.1.6, which suggests that you cannot use Apple Music on that model of iPod.
Sorry, that was two separate questions. Is it:
I'm not an Apple Music subscriber, but as far as I know, it can be a challenge to get both playing on the device. Can you identify which music is not playing?
Not from Apple Music.
However, you may be able to stream music from other (free) sources on the internet through the browser. Try it and see.
You can still use the iPod with iTunes (PC or earlier MacOS) and download music, from your iTunes Library, and sourced from your CDs or from online purchases from stores such as Amazon and Bandcamp. On later MacOS systems, you use Finder, not iTunes.
Is this music that you have purchased or is it from an Apple Music subscription?
Yes, Apple music whuch appears perfectly on my and family iphones
Thanks for the info. Presumably I cannot either stream to the ipod 4?
Ipod 4 Touch
