Help Please- just lost 5600 songs

I have two things going very wrong, please help.
1.I have had trouble dropping songs into iTunes. i have searched the forums and I am very frustrated at the amount of people having the same problem with no resolution. i tried to drop 20 concerts into iTunes and only 2 showed up. These shows play in Quicktime and I know that they're not all corrupt. i doubt any of them are. I tried saving to a flash drive and they still wouldn't drop in. I tried importing the shows, tried importing the songs, but to no avail. I tried saving the music into another folder on the desktop and they still wouldn't drop into iTunes.
2. This is the biggie. My harddrive isn't very big so after I save the music onto my ipod i have to erase it. So I have 5000 songs that can't play because they're not stored onto the hard drive anymore. So I selected all of the songs that aren't able to play anymore and erased them from iTunes. I recently synced the ipod and now I've lost all 5600 songs. Please help before I ruin anything else.
Thanks,
-Norman

It's very frustrating because I had tried to add the files like you said, but to no avail. But there hasn't been a reason stated as to why we can't add the files. The only answer seems to be that that's the way it is and we'll have to live with it. I know the files aren't corrupt, the format is the same, they're from a sharing website and there's no copyright protection or anything like that on them. iTunes just doesn't do it. I'm kinda sick to my stomach right now
And now i just lost 5600 songs

  • Help!  Just lost 1200 songs!

    I just updated my itunes on my computer, plugged in my ipod and it deleted over 1200 songs on my ipod. These songs were deleted off my computer for space...how can i get them back. Thanks sooo much for any help.

    Restore them from yourbackup as you will probably not be able to get them off the iPod.
    You can try 3rd party apps like Senuti or yamipod.

  • Just lost 650 songs....

    Hello everyone,
    I could really use someone's help this am...I am sitting here in a bit of a panic as I just lost over 650 songs when I just installed the software onto my new computer for my new iPod. I had the ipod mini previously and just got the one with video which i love and i had just updated it with all of my other songs on my sister's computer and then I went to install the software and download some more songs and i lost everything. I did the steps to try to retrieve the songs, but since it is a new computer, i realized i didn't get a chance to save the songs. So, now with that said, the 6-8 songs i just purchased before i lost everything now won't seem to transfer over to the new ipod for some reason. I do know that at the beginning it did mention that since my ipod was not allowed access to them, which i don't understand since i just paid for them....does this make any sense???? Because it sure doesn't to me and i'm getting a tad frustrated....i want to have the new music transfer over and nothing will seem to work, what do I need to do?
    Also, will i be able to get the music back from my sister's computer if i sign in there? is there something i have to do???? i'm sorry for all of the questions, but this has never happened to me before and i really want to fix this......
    Thanks for anyone who can help...

  • Help I just lost all of my contacts

    I just downloaded the updated software onto my Blackberry bold.  Come to find out that all my contacts, emails, messages and texts have been deleted.  I really need to get those contacts back.  Is there any way to do this?
    Thank you!!

    Hello and thank you both so much for your quick responses.  I am not very computer savvy, but I checked all my downloads and only found the one titled Apploader WebSL upgrade.  There is no other download with a jpd file.  Would it be somewhere else besides under the download tab? 
    Hi again,
    From that description, I have no idea what you've done.
    1)  You are looking for an IPD file, not a JPD.
    2) You are looking on your PC hard drive, not your BB. (Download tab?????)
    3) You need to search your entire hard drive...it could be in MyDocuments, or it could be somewhere else. An actual search (available in Windows) will do the trick (using the wildcard search of *.ipd).
    Then again, you didn't quite tell us how you did the upgrade...if you did it with your PC, then these instructions apply. If you did it OTA, then all is lost.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • HELP i've lost 2000 songs in a click of a button!

    i bought an external hard drive and transfered all of my itunes library over to it. I just went onto itunes and purchased a few songs, and it asked me about syncing- i said yes. I've just checked my ipod and i only have 8 songs (that i purchased) on it. over 2000 songs have come off it. I can still see them on the itunes library, but they wont sync.
    I assume that perhaps something is pointing at the wrong drive and i am very worried that i've really messed up
    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! 8 SONGS!!!! It'd be funny if i werent panicking!!!
    THanks in advance guys

    It sounds like all your music still exists on your computer. Essentially you hid your music files from iTunes when you moved it. Since iTunes uses a database file to store all the info about your music and it can find that file it knows all your songs and show that in the library pane. Included in this info is the location of the music and since you moved it iTunes can't find the actual music file. If you try to play a song in iTunes it will likely show an exclamation point which is the "I can't find this song" alarm. To solve your problem I suggest following the instructions located here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305451
    Once iTunes can locate your music files then connect your iPod and iTunes will transfer all the music back.

  • 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.

    Did you not transfer them to your computer? and back them up?
    You only get one download.
    Unless you are in the U.S where Apple has released a Beta version of icloud.
    If not in the U.S., you could try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.  they are under no obligation to allow.

  • Help please. Lost itunes library.xml file

    Hello,
    I have windows 7 and have failed in my attempts to locate my itunes library xml file. I think I lost it when I transferred music from one computer to the next. Online I have seen a tutorial on how to find it, user - my music - itunes. However it's not there. I was trying to sync my itunes music to android, but cannot do so unless I have the xml file.  Please note, i am not a computer savvy guy. please don't make it to technical.
    Thanks
    - Anthony

    I already have itunes installed and all my music, playlists and podcasts which work fine, but the media cannot be transferred onto my phone via Isyncr due to not having the itunes library.xml file.  You are saying all I have to do is get the itl file from my old computer and save it onto my new one. then re-download itunes and it should work?
    Edit: I found my old computer and still cannot locate .xml or itl file.
    Looked in users/music/itunes music. and nothing saying xml or itl is there.

  • Help - I just lost all my music on my iPad

    Hi, before it was doing this so how do I fix my music and my Music on iPad disappears or it's not working right when I press the play button that small red icon to the right side of that song it goes down each song fast and then all the music is not there what do I do now? Also this is in my playlists
    But now I have no music on my iPad
    on my iPhone it was doing this so how do I fix my music and my Music on iPhone disappears or it's not working right when I press the play button that small red icon to the right side of that song it goes down each song fast and then all the music is not there what do I do now? Also this is in my playlists
    So how do I fix this?

    Your iPhone has enough storage for iOS 8.  Your iPad may have enough too so before doing anything you may want to just wait and try to upgrade and see if you get a prompt saying you don't have enough storage.  If you don't, if all of your music is in your iTunes library on your computer, one option would be to delete all the music off your iPad, then update it to iOS 8 and sync all your music back to your iPad when it's done.  To delete all the music, you would go to Settings>General>Usage, tap on music in the apps list, then tap Edit and tap next to All Music.
    Here's an article about how to prepare for the iOS update: http://osxdaily.com/2014/09/07/prepare-ios-8-update/.

  • Help Please: How to Undo Tables to AP divs

    I think I did something silly! I was playing around in Dreamweaver on and I was looking under the tabs > Modify > Convert > Tables to AP divs. So I clicked on "Tables to AP divs" (just to see what it would do) THINKING that anything I would have done I would be able to "undo" - well no, I couldn't undo it. The page is titled "RequestOrder". Then I opened up another page called "RequestInspection" and this also effected that page! I opened up a whole other website and all pages titled "Request[any name]" also had the same effect! Any pages that do not have "Request" in the title have not been effected.
    Can someone please tell me what I did wrong and how to please undo it? When I view the pages in the browser everything looks normal. But I would like it all to go back to the way it was.
    I have learned my lesson - not to just click on something just to see what it does...usually I don't get into a situation where I cannot undo something.
    Thanks so much!!
    -J
    Example of what the page looks like in Dreamweaver:

    My father said the same thing four times in 2009, after I had to reformat his entire system in 2008, 2007 and 2006 for things he "clicked on to see what they did". What they did was install rootkit viruses that even AVG couldn't remove.
    I don't touch his system anymore. A local company does it for $200 a shot... This is a $300 e-machine we're talking abut and he spends $800- $1000 a year to "clean it up" because he STILL hasn't learned to investigate things before putting his files at risk by clikcing things.
    You CAN undo this, but it won't be with a single click (sorry to disappoint you). Even if there were a "one click" way to do it, I'd recommend that you do what I'm going to suggest as a lesson in why you don't click things "just to see what they do" with something important.
    Open your site one page at a time and above every APDiv, insert a new table, then copy (one cell at a time) the content from the APDiv to the table, and delete the ADiv.
    Better yet, since using TABLES for LAYOUT is a bad practice that has been shunned for about seven years now, just start with a new page, using CSS and (not AP) DIVs, and lay it out all over. Then copy the content from your main body into the proper sections and "Save As" to replace each page with one that is W3C compliant and a lot simpler.
    Sorry if that sounds a little sarcastic, but I just got off the phone with a 'friend' who wants me to come over and clean up her PC because she opened an infected e-mail and her six months expired trial of McAfee can't help.I just lost a friend, but saved myself a migraine.

  • N70 HELP PLEASE DESPERATELY NEED MESSAGES BACK

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP! JUST LOST ALL MY MESSAGES IN EVERY FOLDER ON MY TRUSTY N7O THROUGH THE EXPLANATION BELOW AND NEEEEED THEM BACK AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE IN THIS WAY OR UNDERSTANDS AND HOW DO I GET THESE MESSAGES BACK??
    THIS IS WHAT I DID OR HOW IT HAPPENED: 
    SORRY FOR LONG EXPLANATION
    Was setting my work Gmail -(laptop is in for service)- used "setting wizard" as always-only had the personal Gmail on my N70 and used the other username by mistake- went to "MESSAGE SETTINGS" "EMAIL" selected "mailbox"- "options"- "remove mailbox" the 1st removed no issues but new mailbox wouldn't remove
    -took me to "mailbox in use" thought the "mailbox in use" "gmail" was selected tried to remove and nothing happened, pushed (c) to delete and thought maybe I hadn't pushed it properly-(c) again but realized this froze the phone for a bit (or it was just in a long delay), it frozen with only outlined frames visible for a bit,so I pushed "back" a few times ("back" wasn't visible though) it went back to MESSAGES but 1 or 2 of the folder icon's were now blank with a ? in place of the icon. It wouldn't switch off-tried pushing that back button again (WHICH STIL WASN'T VISIBLE AND NEITHER WAS "OPTIONS") 3 or 4 times but before I realized it started reacting but strangely and delayed and then the rest of the message folder icons were now also gone and replaced with ? and now frozen again. I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT because it wouldn't switch off.
    Switched it back on and ALL MY MESSAGES FOR EVERY FOLDER WERE GONE. DRAFT FOLDER VERY IMPORTANT- HAD +/- 10 MESSAGES ABOUT 28SMS LONG THAT I WAS GOING TO COPY AND PASTE (which is why I still N70) INTO EMAILS (which I was trying to create)
    I know I chose the option long ago to "SAVE MESSAGES TO PHONE" when I first got the phone.
    I'm quite knowledgeable with Computer Tech and would have just "restored to previous time" but 2 things- I don't know if it's possible on a "sort of smartphone" and 2: I don't even remember when last I ever did the "back-up phone to memory card"
    I have found a data doctor: it "says it's a tool to restore deleted, erased or accidentally lost text messages, phone book saved contact numbers from mobile phone sim card." but it needs a usb sim reader (which I could try get) and the data doctor is quite expensive

  • Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please

    Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please
    Just bought it a couple of days ago, and its doing this!!! why doed the videos now both on my ipod and itunes not have sound?

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.
