Items In Library, Not Available On iPod

I posted a few days ago about this, but the post is now so buried below it is unlikely to be seen, so here we go again with a new post. I hope this is more acceptable than "bumping" the other post up.
My iPod recently updated itself when plugged in, but it for some reason updated the items I still have stored on my computer's hard drive, which is only about 1/3 of the total library. Those items physically uploaded themselves into the iPod anew from my computer hard drive. The full amount of items (almost 4000) still appears in the iTunes library, but not on the iPod itself.
Basically this means 2/3 of my collection is listed in the iTunes library on my computer screen, but are not on my computer hard drive any longer, and while those files should be inside the iPod, they are not displaying on its screen or in the "My iPod" portion of iTunes when the iPod is plugged in.
Is there a way to get the iPod to recognize that it holds these other files still, even though they are not on my computer's hard drive? Or do I have to reload all those CDs manually again? If so, this will be the THIRD time I have had to load that number of items into the iPod because of goofy glitches like this...
Thank you for any help.

I originally loaded all this stuff onto the iPod in January when I bought it.
A few months ago I reinstalled Windows on my computer, which of course wiped out everything on its hard drive. When I reinstalled iTunes and hooked up the iPod innocently, iTunes had no library of items in its memory, so I had to reload all 4000 items from scratch.
In the meanwhile I deleted much of the total number of songs off of the computer's hard drive for space allowance, though I kept the items listed in the iTunes library. This did not cause any problems at all until the other day when I plugged the iPod in to charge and for some reason it updated itself with the items on my computer hard drive, and wiping out the rest from the iPod, even though the now deleted from the iPod items are still listed in my iTunes library.
Frustrating? Yes. Exasperating...you betcha. Oh well...I've started on the missing songs yet again, and once I can afford the cost, I plan on getting an external hard drive that I will load all my music onto so there is no way that I will have to go through the labor of loading each CD again if any mishaps occur again.
Thank you for the thoughts, though!

  • TS3297 iTunes store says: "Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later."

    I'm trying to purchase an album via iTunes and I keep getting the message:
    "Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later."
    What does that mean? Why is it listed in the store if it's not available? When will it be available?
    iTunes 10.7.0.21
    Thanks.

    It means it's being modified, try again later.
    Sorry, but which part of that do you not understand?
    Perhaps they're changing the price, so while they are doing that, you cannot buy it. It'll save you moaning later that you bought it and then the price went down. Or perhaps they've found that the album is faulty and so it has been removed until they can upload a non-faulty version. In either case, it will be available when Apple are ready to make it available. No one here knows when that will be.
    Wait 24 hours and try again. If no luck, wait another 24 hours and try again. Obviously, Apple would prefer you to buy the song from them, so that's why it's still listed. But it's up to you how long you wait before deciding that you've waited long enough and you simply buy the album from another store. You have that choice, it's not compulsory to buy from Apple you know.

  • Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later.

    Apple Support:
    I have tried to purchase albums by Muse dated 2003 and earlier from the iTunes Store in Denmark.
    For all of  these I am getting the response:
    "Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later.".
    Well its been like this for one week now.
    Is it still "being modified" or is it an access error that should not be there and that I am getting a misleading error message?
    Apple please help !
    Thanks,
    Alex

    All you can do is keep trying.  It happens sometimes.

    Hi Thanks,
    I could only see posts from some months ago and thought I had something different.
    Looks like I have not been using the correct search terms.
    Will wait and see what happens.

  • Sent Items folder is not available

    I am using Outlook 2010 and have configured my domains' email address as an account on the Outlook profile. On the left sidebar I see my email address listed as follows:
    > [email protected]
    Inbox
    Deleted Items
    Junk E-mail
    Sent Items
    I have configured my account to keep a copy of sent items. When I compose and email and send it I always get the "Sent Items folder is not available" message which I never got in Outlook 2003.
    However, as you can see above the Sent Items folder is listed! When I click on the Inbox node and select IMAP Folders I see that it is NOT subscribed to ANY folder. I press the Query button and select all folders (Inbox, Deleted, Junk, Sent) and press the
    Subscribe button. It doesn't produce any error message. I close that dialog and then reopen again to see my subscribed folders list and IT IS EMPTY!!!
    So why is it failing to subscribe to the Sent Items folder? This worked seamlessly in previous versions of Outlook, this "improvement" is obviously an anomalous behavior.

  • Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available

    I am having some issues with the spy menu. In order to try and fix my issues I built the menu from scratch again on one of my pages. Everything works now on that page and when I upload it to the server, it is all there.
    However, when I then copy and paste the menu to all the other pages and upload the the server, the submenu doen't show anymore. When I go and troubleshoot it and highlight the menu in its entirety and click properties, no properties will show. On the working page, this ation delievers me a properties bar where I can + or - menu items. Why is this? As this must be why the submenu is not showing either?
    The page where everything works is this (See sub menu under coaching clinics) http://www.golifecoaching.com.au/go-beyond-registration-test but on every other page on this website, this submenu disappears.
    Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out and don't fancy having to build the menu from scratch for every page. There has to be a better way.
    I use CS4 and this is my menu;
       <div id="navigation">
        <!--MENU-->
        <ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">

    That is brilliant, that is exactly it! Thank you sooooo much for your suggestion. I am so relieved.
    Yes a template would be best, but I am not sure how to do that, so I am left with doubling my work evertime I make a change on this site.
    Thanks Jen

    Subject: Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available
    Disclaimer: I am new to coding in general and this is my first attempt to help someone.
    I think the properties bar with the + - has to do with the javascript coding that is generated when you create a new tag, and it is located near the bottom of the page just before the closing body tag. 
    looks something like this:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var MenuBar2 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar2", );
    </script>
    so dont forget to copy that over too.  Also, check the CSS that is associated within each page and make sure they are all in the same style.
    P.S. Have you considered using a template for the menu bar so you dont have to copy it over each time?

  • Shared iTunes Library not available

    My iTunes library is located in the "Shared" users account and pointed to by a folder alias in my own "Music" folder. However, when setting up a slide show in iPhoto, my iTune tracks are not available. In fact iTunes does not even show up in the Music pane.
    If I create an actual (not an alias) iTunes music folder in ~/Music/ iPhoto works as it should.
    I have tried creating symbolic links at the command line instead of using the "Create Alias" action in Finder. Doing so does not help.
    iTunes works fine. The problem is only in iPhoto.
    iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    As a work around I have been able to start iTunes while holding down the "Option" key and create a new iTune Library in my ~/Music folder. Then I import whatever song I want to use in my slideshow.

  • Help! iPhoto library not available to other Apple applications

    My iPhoto library is not available for browsing in other Apple applications like iMovie, Mail or even Desktop and Screen Saver. I've rebuilt the iPhoto database, fixed permissions, tried to do over starting with a clean plate and importing the database and nothing seems to work. The iPhoto library is unavailable to other Apple applications that can make use of it.
    Any ideas as to how I can fix this problem? FWIW, iTunes is available in other Apple applications and iPhoto seems to work just fine as a stand alone application it just doesn't want to play with the other children anymore.
    Thanks.

    Eric
    Sharing between applicationns is enabled by a file in the iPhoto Library Folder called the Albumdata.xml file.
    First step: Remove this file and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild the files. Then relaunch the other apps, see if they see can see iPhoto.
    If not, do you have any non-ascii characters in your titles or keywords - bascaly anything that's not 0-9 or a - z.
    If that's not the issue, have a look at this thread

    especially Dave E's discovery about malformed strings in the albumData file.

  • Iphoto library not available as screensaver

    I want my computer to show my pictures from the iPhoto library, as the screensaver. I always had that but now in Mountain Lion the iPhoto library is not available as an option to select. I do have the possibility to select my PhotoBooth picture, but I want my iPhoto Library. Anyone have the same issue and, more importatn, does anyone know how to fix this?

    you can choose to use your iphoto library pics by going into system prefs/desktop & screensaver
    click on screensaver and make sure you choose a screen saver option that uses pictures (such as floating, snapshots, etc)
    now next to source option hit the drop down and your iphoto library should be an option to choose
    once you choose iphoto library it will further give you options to use specific event pics etc.
    the following article also talks about screensavers in mt lion:

  • Aperture library not available as desktop or screensaver option

    Aperture library is not available as desktop or screensaver option. Nor is it available in Fotomagico. Any ideas?

    Go into "System Preferences" -> "Desktop & Screensaver" -> "Desktop"
    Scroll down the list on the left.  The top categories should be the Apple default desktop images that came with Snow Leopard.  Below that you should see iPhoto and it's events, albums, etc.  Below that you should see Aperture with your projects listed below that.
    Do you at least see the projects listed or does Aperture not even appear?  Or is the problem that you aren't able to select any of the images from a project?
    If the latter I'm wondering if you're missing previews.  You might go into "Aperture" -> "Preferences..." and pick the "Previews" category.  Make sure the check boxes are selected for "New projects automatically generate previews" and "Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible" (if your camera shoots in RAW+JPEG mode then it'll use the JPEGs from the camera as the preview instead of building it's own.)
    You can force it to update previews but note that since it normally wants to generate previews automatically the 'Update Preview(s)' isn't a global function... it only rebuilds the previews for images you have selected (which means you have to go into each project, select all images, and do a "Photos" -> "Update Previews"
    Beyond this, you'd probably need to run Aperture first-aid to determine if there is some corruption in the Aperture library preventing it from being used.

  • Iphoto 8.1.1 library not available in IMovieHD

    I am running Leopard on my MacBook Pro and use both IMovie HD and 09. My IPhoto library is not available to me when I am editing in IMovieHD. This is a recent occurrence. I get the message "Open iPhoto 2 or Aperture 1.5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto or Aperture library in this list." I don't have this problem editing in HD on my IMac, which runs Snow Leopard. What can I do? Do I have to upgrade my laptop to Snow Leopard?

    Found it, yes, its in the Picture Folder, but I was looking for another Folder with all the pictures and notice a file called iphoto library, its not a folder but when I right click and show package, I saw a folder called orginal with all the pictures. 
    Thats what I was looking for..
    Hope this help other people...
