All Songs "Hidden" on iPod

Hi,
After comming back from a vacation and turning on my iPod, I noticed that all of my songs were gone. I plugged it into my computer, and all of the songs did show up in iTunes. The "songs" playilst isn't showing up on my iPod even though the songs ARE there. It did go through the x-ray twice at the airport. Could this have damaged it. Is there anyway I will ever be able to use my iPod again?
Thanks in advance for all of your help.

The only problem with that idea (for me at least) is the fact that I had songs on my iPod that aren't in my playlist. I don't want to start over. Besides, in iTunes the visual representation of space left on my iPod still shows that there are the right ammount of songs on it. Why are they "hidden"? Thanks for the suggestion. If I can't find an answer to my problem soon, then I may end up going through with your idea.

I need to move my library to a new computer. This is music downloaded from CD's. Is the only way to do this is to sync all songs to my ipod and they transfer them to the new computer?

If using a Mac, use Migration Assistant to move your iTunes library from old computer to new. Afterwards you can sync from your new computer to your iPod.

one of the problems may be that the original files may have been moved.
before you do anything, open itunes, then click on the ipod icon on the left side of the screen. there should be 4 check boxes. make sure the "manually manage music" check box is filled in
for one thing, try finding the folder where all of your music is stored.
then, click and drag the music into itunes, or onto your ipod.

How Can I Play All Songs On My IPod Touch at Same Volume?

I have an IPod Touch 5th Generation which I bought this year. I also have a 4 year old Apple IMac desktop with ITunes version 11.0.4(4).
I have the latest version of OS Mountain Lion.
I sync songs from ITunes on my IMac desktop to the IPod Touch. Songs play back at different volumes on the IPod Touch.
I want them all to play at the same volume.
Almost all of the songs in my ITunes on my IMac were downloaded from many different music websites,
very few from the Apple Store.
I also have an IPod Nano 5th Generation which I bought a few years ago. I copied songs from ITunes on my desktop to my IPod Nano.
But I did not sync them. Just transferred or copied many of the songs from ITunes, without syncing. The ITunes songs appear to play at equal volume on
my IPod Nano but not on my IPod Touch. For Settings on my IPod Touch, I set Sound Check to On.
Regarding ITunes Preferences (ITunes is on my desktop IMac):
The Sound Enhancer and the Sound Check are both checked, and have been checked for a long time. Therefore all the songs
on my IPod Touch should all be played at the same volume, shouldn't they, since they were synced from ITunes.
Doesn't the Sound Check on ITunes control that?
If they all play on the same volume on my ITunes, shouldn't all songs play on the same volume on my IPod Touch?
I noticed today the Crossfade in ITunes Preferences on my IMac was not checked. I thought it had been, but maybe I accidentally unchecked it one day.
I checked it today but was not sure what time to put on it. I put the time in the middle, which is about 6 seconds. Not sure if this is OK.
I'd like one song to come on just about when the previous song ends. Any suggestions? (There does not seem to be a Crossfade option
in the ITouch Music Settings). If I use Crossfade in ITunes, will it crossfade when I play the IPod Touch, since it synced the ITunes?
Also, I have the music setting for EQ on my IPod Touch set to OFF. I assume I don't need this, but please let me know if I do.

Settings>Music>Sound Check will HELP to normalise the volume of your music but it only averages it out.

I just lost all songs on my Ipod, but my Itunes still has everything

I plugged my Ipod into the computer today, usual as always, just to import over a few new CD's, but then I get this pop-up.
"Songs on the iPod "Scott's iPod" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
Confused, I checked my music on my iPod, and now...There is nothing there!
No Songs, No Playlists, No CDS, nothing.
Yet...everything is still in my iTunes, most of which was on my Ipod a few minutes ago
What the heck happened and how do I fix this?

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 1800MB for a 2G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "1800" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

Does anyone know if this can be saved? Can the files be found again? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! THANKS

New computer erased all songs from my ipod

I've connected my ipod to a new computer I bought. All the songs appeared on the itunes folder, but when i synced the ipod, all the songs from the ipod where erased. That happend because the songs where not on my new pc. What can I do to make the songs come back! The big problem is that all my songs are from cds and most of them are not with me anymore! I gave the cds because I thought I would never need them anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm desperad!!!!!
Two extra informations.
1) When I noticed that all the songs on the libary where getting the "!" I disconnected the ipod, but it didn't help me at all, because the ipod only had in the memory the three new cds I've just bought and put into the new computer!
2)My previous computer's hard drive is damaged so I cannot get the songs back!

Pressing "Erase and Sync" when iTunes brings up the dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in this iTunes does exactly what it says. If you linked to an iTunes with only a few or completely different songs it will have erased your original iPod song list. There are some data recovery programs on the market. I've no personal experience of them so I can't say how effective they are, here's an example: iPod Data Recovery
None of the recovery programs are particularly cheap so you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back.

Itunes will not load all songs onto my IPOD or start Itunes when connected

I have a new 80GB Ipod. Two problems I have noticed.
1. Itunes has 1609 songs. My IPOD only shows 1603. I have made sure all the boxes on the left colume of Itunes are all checked. Am I doing something wrong.
2. Just this past week when I connect my IPOD to my computer (PC -windows XP) it does not start Itunes. I do have that option checked. It connects fine when I open Itunes on the computer after the IPOD is connected or if I already have Itunes open then connect the IPOD.

Just try this on that one song first....the first one it stopped on.
Take it out of the itunes library list. If it asks about putting it in the recycle bin, say NO.
Then add it back into the itunes library. Will it sync now?

All Songs Missing From iPod

Somebody PLEASE HELP! I saved some new songs to my computer and was importing them into iTunes. I was then transferring the songs to my iPod nano. After the first 3 or 4 songs, I get an error message from iTunes (I do not remember it exactly, since I was trying to "fix" it). It said something about my "CJ DISK" (CJ my initials) file needed to be inserted or downloaded because of a "Volume" error. I had never seen this before and it was no longer allowing me to transfer songs. So then I clicked on my iPod file to see if the songs I downloaded were "whole". When I clicked on a song (any song) in my iPod list, it woudn't let me play any of the songs and then gave me another error message, which I also cannot recall exactly. I then ejected my iPod from iTunes, but the iPod was still acting as if it were connected. So then I "rebooted" the iPod (hold button on/off and held "menu" and "select" buttons). When the iPod rebooted, ALL of my songs were gone; All 180 of them!!! What just happened?? What do I do now??

If you're going to "help" people, then maybe you need
to work on your bedside manner. If you don't get
that you were rude in your response, then you can't
be helped and I personally don't want yours.
Oh that's nice, so you think it must be an honour for anyone to give you advice and help you?
If you want advice for free you have to accept personal manners more or less as long as the comment is within normal ettiquette. If you pay for the advice you of course can expect the form the advice is given but not if it's in a free forum like here.
I find it quite astonishing which demands some people posting for advice here have in others who give their knowledge in their spare time and without any form of payment whatsoever.
So maybe consider a little if the form you gave your answer maybe deters others from helping you.

The music sync is one way -computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases.
