IPod not displaying any music from iTunes

I am so worried!
I was updating my ipod and all of a sudden it said I had too many songs and that it was going to make a special playlist for me of all the songs it could fit.
Well I got annoyed so I went into my Music category and deleted about 50 songs that I don't listen to. Seeing as how I had made some extra space I deleted the new playlist iTunes gave me...
When I went to check on my iPod ALL MY PLAYLISTS, MY MUSIC, EVERYTHING IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then I plugged it back into my computer and it said that it can't sync my iPod because "all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
HOW DO I FIX THIS?
I was planning on getting a new iPod as my christmas gift to myself...have I killed my iPod? Should I just get a new one???
I've paid for a lot of movies/tv shows/podcasts/ a lot of music/AMAZING PLAYLISTS....and now that it's not reading my iPod will I lose it all if I get a new one?
Have i just lost EVERYTHING i've ever paid for on iTunes?! Can anyone help?

That is helpful but not exactly what my issue was. It only showed how to drag general music into iTunes, not how to drag self-created playlists back into a folder along with "__'s iPod Selection" in iTunes and on the iPod.

  • My ipod will not store any music from itunes

    when i tick all the music i want to put on my ipod nano 6th gen it shows it at the bottom.i click synch and it shows nothing,what am i doing wrong.i have a 2nd gen ipod that synchs no problem and my ipnone 3gs  synchs no problem

    When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
    If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

  • My iPhone 5 will not sync any music from iTunes

    I have ios 7.0.3 (the most recent update) and the newest version of itunes, and have never had a problem like this before.  I am using the same computer I always do, which is authorized.
    Yesterday I attampted to add 100 songs, which were already on my itunes, to my iPhone; my phone responded by not accecpting the new songs and deleting over  2500 songs previously on it. These songs still show up in my music app but will not play, iTunes also says that they are on my phone.I have tried adding these songs back multiple ways, such as: manually dragging them to the right of the screen and onto my phone, using the "on this iphone" option and adding songs, the normal way to sync music via checking off the playlist, and by adding the music by album, but to no avail. Each time I try this the sync begins, showing that I have approximately 4 GB free with the added music, but ends quickly (within 7 syncing steps maximum, not including music syncing) saying that I have around 18 gigs of open space, but the titles of the music still show up as being on my device. My phone still claims that there are 2700 songs on it, but refuses to play a vast majority of them, A few times when I have tried syncing I recieved a message claiming that my phone could not finish the sync.
    Whatever is going on, I just want my music back as quickly and easily as possible.
    Does anyone know how to go about fixing this?

  • I can't download any music from itunes, says there is not enough memory to support the download

    I can not download any music from itunes, little box pops up and says there is not enough memeory to download?

    iCloud storage has absolutely nothing to do with local storage. You need to free up space on the iPad in order to download the movies. You can transfer some content into iTunes and then delete it from the iPad in order to make room on the device.
    Settings>General>Usage>Storage is where you delete content if you want to do it in there.

  • I am signed into my iTunes account.  However, Im asked for answers to security questions I can't remember.  I have clicked to reset through e-mail, yet I am not getting any email from iTunes.  Any advice on fixing this?

    I am signed into my iTunes account.  However, Im asked for answers to security questions I can't remember.  I have clicked to reset through e-mail, yet I am not getting any email from iTunes.  Any advice on fixing this?

    If you are not getting the email, you can contact Apple Support to have your Security Questions reset:
    ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
    Once you get them reset, check your Rescue Email address on Manage Your Apple ID to make sure it is still a functional address. It is not the same as your primary or alternate address.

  • Hi i did not buy any songs from itune and i got a bill for 29.99 plus tax .how can i get my refun back

    hi i did not buy any thing from itune and i got a bill for 29;99 plus tax.how can i get my refun back.

    Did you buy anything from the App Store? All of those stores are connected to the iTunes Store so that's probably why you got something that said iTunes on it.
    If you bought an app, for example, that was $30 you'll probably see "iTunes Store" on the receipt.

  • Ipod nano not accepting synced music from itunes

    Somehow my music erased from my ipod during my last charge. Now when syncing my music from itunes the music is not going on to the ipod. Any answers out there?

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Ipod not showing any music, Itunes dies when connecting

    Hey everybody,
    Here's my problem: Earlier on I loaded 40 songs on my Ipod Classic and was charging it for a little while. When I disconnected it, it told me no songs were in it's library. I reconnected the Ipod to my computer several times and everytime I did so, Itunes died on me, and a Windows window popped up informing me that the external harddrive was perhaps broken and it could attempt to fix it. I didn't do that yet since I have no idea what it's actually going to do and I was hoping there'd be a way to reset it complettly over itunes after all. I've worked my way through the apple support, rebooting etc etc, got no effect whatsoever though. Hope you can help me out.

  • How can I use an iPod nano to obtain music from iTunes without an email account?

    I recently gave my 9 year old grandson an iPod Nano for Xmas.  He does not have an email account and his parents don't want him to have one, which I think is a good idea.
    When I purchased the iPod the salesperson told me that it was possible to download music/set up an account, without a valid email account, but I don't remember the details.
    Some direction to address this issue would be great.

    If you are going to purchase music on a computer for him from the iTunes Store then it is necessary to set up an iTunes account which will require an email address. It does not have to be his, you can use the parents iTunes account if they have one.
    But you can use the Nano without music from the iTunes Store. Just rip music from CDs the parents own into iTunes and sync those to the Nano.
    Here is the manual for the Nano: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_nano_6thgen_User_Guide.pdf

  • I am using a PC with Windows Vista. I've been using iTunes on this computer for over 6 years. Suddenly I can not play any music on iTunes. I tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes however it did not fix the issue. Can anyone please help?

    Suddenly, as of two weeks ago, iTunes will no longer play any music. I tried reinstalling but this did not work either. I have a PC with Windows Vista. Has anyone else experienced this problem and fixed it?

    Yes, I just tried playing a 10-second mp3 file I acquired from The Oatmeal and didn't once pass my external hard disk.  It's a simple, monotone, high-frequency sound, but I get the same results: VLC's UI is still responsive, but its functionality freezes up, i.e. the buttons are still animated, and the menu still works, but there's no sound, the progress bar doesn't move, and the file doesn't play.
