Songs wiped out but same amount of memory

So,
Last night I plugged my iPod mini into another computer so we could listen to some music. Everything was fine, but when I tried to listen to music later on (iPod was unplugged from computer) all the songs were gone. The odd thing was that I still have the same amount of memory, like the songs are still there. When I plugged the iPod into my computer, I receive a message that states that my iTunes can´t read the information on the iPod and I need new software. I should state that the other computer had iTunes software which allowed it to play videos, so it must have been a lot newer version than what I have. Is there any way to save the songs without downloading new software? I am in Brazil doing research and really need my music. Thank you for any help anyone is able to give.

Whats most likly happened is the database on the ipod got corrupt. you can read this artical at yamipod.com and use there software to try and rebuild it since your not home where your PC with the music is http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/docs/help/corruptedipod.php
Now if you have access to a PC in brazil with all or atleast most of your music that was on the ipod, Id recommend using that PC to restore the ipod then use iTunes to load it back up

HELP!! all songs wiped out but still on HD

just synced photos for the first time, got em loaded in and everything seemed fine...then i tried hooking the ipod back to the computer and said it was unable to read the ipod and it needed to be reset to factory options...
i tried a few other things, including reset....i then updated itunes...now it recognizes the ipod but all my music is GONE!!!! the photos are still there but nothing in the music folder...HOWEVER, itunes says the ipod is half full (30GB ipod) and when i browse thru the windows folders, all of the music files are there, but they just don't show up in itunes or on the ipod menu.....PLEASE HELP as we're leaving on vacation tomorrow morning and this was going to be our saving grace to entertain the kids while in the plane!!!!!

It would appear that the iPod hard drive or iPod software has become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes.

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

Shuffle iPod-songs wiped out...PLEASE ADVISE/HELP

Hi,
I have an iPod Shuffle which contained numerous songs. I was going to update it and apparently hit something that wiped out all of my songs. Is there any way to get them to come back up and replace them in my iPod or am I just out of luck and have to buy new songs? The songs are listed in my purchase history.
Thanks in advance for your help and speedy response as I am lost w/out it when I jog!

I was going to update it and apparently hit something that wiped out all of my songs.
If the songs are no longer on your iPod or your computer, your options are limited.
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Should all memory slots on my imac have the same amount of memory

should all memory slots on my imac have the same amount of memory

For your model, that would mean to match them horizontally; in newer iMacs with vertical RAM installation, they should be matched: slot 1 + 3, and slots 2 + 4 (which, oddly enough, will result in the same picture if your check the RAM in system info).

How do I prevent songs wiped out of NANO??

Hello & thanks for being here. Okay we charge the Nano 2GB by USB on our Win XP SP2 . The first time I had to do a re-install of my Windows XP, well when I was done I hooked up the Nano again to re-charge and it wiped out all the downloaded songs on the Nano. How can I prevent this from happening? I don't want to burn the music to CD's, I want it on my Nano
~~Thank you kindly,,Paul

Paul,
You can change the update setting on your Nano from automatic to manually update songs and playlists. This will allow you to connect it to another PC if you like (or to an empty iTunes if you have to reformat your hard drive) without your iPod being cleared of it's contents
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Ipod totally wiped out but still has the name I named it

My sister plugged in her iPod onto the G4 kast night and this morning all the music has gone. It still had its name that i gave it and so i thought maybe it'd be okay. But the About bit says it has 36GB free so i guess not!! I read an article saying that the new iTunes deleted mp3s randomly. I had better back up mine now. Has this every happened to anyone? And is there a way of getting the music from the iPod back?
Thank you!!

Unless the songs are still on your iPod (check, scroll through the artists/playlists etc and see if any are there) or backed up somewhere, you're out of luck.
I read an article somewhere a while ago about a program that can 'recover' lost files on iPods and hard disks, however I can't remember what it was called! Bummer!

Fill & sign greyed out but same pdf on different pc is signable

Hello,
I'm having strange issue with sign process, we have the same PDF sent to several users.
All are running last update for Reader XI.
Some users have the fill&sign option disabled and signing property is not allowed.
Same document sent to other user is siging allowed and all works fine.
We already tried several options (new save as/ reinstall reader / recreate new main doc) but for these users is not possible to sign PDF
Any advice how to troubleshoot deeper?
Thanks

I know mostly digital (PKI-certificate-based) signatures. I cannot expertly advise on other signature types. It is possible that the form that you had, had an expiration date on it (was Reader-extended with a certificate that expired after a certain date). That might explain why your co-worker was able to sign and you weren't, if you got the unsigned copy from her and not from the same source where she got it. If you got not the same copy but from the same source, you may have gotten a copy with the signing already disabled. The other possibility is that the form might execute comminications with the author's server to get authorization to sign and that authorzation failed. There are many ways a form can be constructed that cause this behaviour. Since you know that the document's author disabled signing the question is now moot and I do not see why we should speculate on a possible reason.

Computer and Ipod Crash - Everything wiped out on same day... no backup..

Technology destroys around me.
My comp and Ipod decide to stop working completely.
I get a new hardrive for my comp - it works.
I get a new Ipod Classic (due to warranty).
I try to get my music that i bought off of itunes store back...
but it costs money to do so bc i didn't make backup data?
Yet Itunes has a history of what I bought - i've seen it myself.
I want my music/games/applications back!
No WAY am i paying for it again!
Sincerely,
Ryoomi

If you didn't make a back-up of your music/video/games purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do when you make the purchase) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store

My iPod songs are automatically wiped out again!! GRRR..

My iPod songs are gone. How can I have have them back without having to upload songs again?
This is the second time it happened. My iPod still had 60.9 MB space in it before my songs disappeared.
When I plugged my iPod into the PC today, it was charging. Then a few minutes later, the iPod (still plugged into the PC) started beeping. At first I don't know where the beep was coming from. When I finally realized it came from my iPod, it was too late to check what message it says on the screen. And when I open the iTunes, it prompts me to fill up the iPod Set-Up Assistant (which means that I have to start all over again transferring songs to my iPod? No way.). I can't find the songs in my iPod anymore. All of them have been wiped out now.
The weird thing is, even with all the songs wiped out, iTunes still says that I only have 60.9 MB of memory in my iPod. It seems that the songs are still there but won't just show up. Because they still occupy the memory of my iPod. My Notes are still in the device, I can also access the files stored in the External Memory.
The first time it happened, I did a Restore and had to download the songs from the Internet again. Now that I don't have the music files in my PC anymore, I don't want to do a Restore because I don't want to download songs again.
Please help me fix this.

1.If you are using some kind of file sharing program to put songs on your ipod,this might be the problem.I had a similar situation.If you delete some songs from your file-sharing program itunes wont be able to find the songs and wont play song(just on itunes),ir that the host of the song might've deleted the song himself from other to share.
2.Make sure your itunes is up-to date,or you ipod is having hardware issues(this might be the cause if you dont use a file-sharing program).You need to put you ipod on disk mode.For more info. go on support.
3.This step can maybe work,but i know it wont.just blow the usb cord just to make sure it is not dusty.
4.This might also be why your songs get wiped out.You probably need a new usb cord,but first try every way you can to fix this issue before buying a new usb cord.also depends how old your usb cord is.

Uhm. i plugged in my i-pod touch and all of the songs are completely wiped out it was over 80$ of songs. and i cannot find them on i-tunes seriously.

hi uhm i was updating my ipod touch 4g and itunes made me restore it. And i did and it was done and then i looked in my song libary on my ipod and it was completely wiped out. but all of my 617 photos were still there. and i looked for my songs on itunes and i have to buy them! There were at least 80$ worth of songs. how do i get them back?

If you are in the USA you can use the iCloud beta. See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise you will have to contact iTunes and they MAY allow a redownload. But note that Apple clearly states that you get one download and it is up to you to back it up.

Last iPhone sync wiped out Address Book

I just performed a sync between my iPhone and my MacBook Pro after having made extensive changes to the Contacts list on the iPhone. After the sync, my Address Book is completely empty, and my contacts list is gone from the phone. I tried to revert to an Address Book backup, but the computer can't find the file (and neither can I). Needless to say, I'm in a bit of a panic, and I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.

If you can't find a backup there's not much you can do at this time. If you were on 10.5 and had enabled Time Machine you would have a whole history of backups. I have no idea why your contacts were wiped out, but without a backup there isn't any way of recovery that I can think of. Have you looked where your Address Book library belongs? It should be in Library/Application Support/Address Book.

Not good... do you have a recent or not so recent backup of your device?
I would recommend that you download the OS for your BlackBerry model, connect your BB via USB to your PC and follow the instructions for YOUR specific model of BB, found at the top of this link... one of those highlighted in yellow that state "attention"...

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.
