80gb classic, dumps music on software update

Very frustrating, spent ages up loading music into new ipod 80gb, through itunes the ipod self updated its software. Now it has lost all the music about 8gb, but has kept all the photos and contacts. For the music it is set to manual update from itunes to the ipod.
Is there anyway they can be found/restored without having to upload via the computer again.
I have not unticked the automatic software update.
Luckily didnt have this problem with old ipod which the hard drive has gone in.
Your thoughts appreciated.

I did find that if I saved all of my photos as bitmaps, resized them to 640x480, and got rid of the dashes in the filenames, that they would work.

Problem with iphone4 music after software update

Updated software on my iphone 4 on 3/22/13. Now, my entire music library on my phone is in icloud format and must be downloaded. Discovered this while flying cross country. Grrrr.
Why did this happen and - more to the point - how can i get my music library to sync normally again so it's simply on my phone and ready to play?
Thanks.

I phoned my provider as requested and they have advised me that it is necessary to send my brand new phone in for repair. I honestly don't know if they have opened a support ticket. I do thank you for your prompt assistance thus far, however, I am none too impressed with this situation. I hope the next software update doesn't cause more problems, so far the phone isn't worh the contract it's written for when it comes to user friendliness, app availability, or user options. I was hoping for better from BlackBerry this time around.

80GB Classic with music, photo, and video problems

I have had a number of problems since getting my 80gb iPod classic.
1. Music: I keep finding songs that play perfectly in iTunes, but then stop a few seconds into the song when I play them back on the iPod. The first time this happened, I had to delete the song from iTunes and then rip it back into iTunes from the CD to get it to work. The other songs I haven’t tried to fix yet, but, so far, they are all from CD’s and not downloaded MP3’s. I also noticed that they were all ripped from the CD using an older version of iTunes.
2. Photos: Very few of the photos I tried to download to the iPod were transferred. I got a message saying they would not work on iPod, but no reason why. They are just simple .jpg files from my camera (Canon Powershot S3 IS). Most of the photos that did get transferred were corrupt. The pictures were all broken up and colors were switched around. I tried changing them to .bmp files and also changing the size to 640x480, and that helped some of them, but not all. The only pictures that worked flawlessly were not photos, they were cartoons.
3. Video: I have a number of QuickTime videos that work fine in iTunes until I convert them to iPod files. Most of the converted videos showed a blank white screen in thumbnail form in iTunes. When I play them, iTunes only displays a couple of frames, and the sound stutters. They all transferred to the iPod, but every time I tried to play one, the video would crash and the iPod would reset itself.
I’m thinking about exchanging my iPod for a new one, but I’m afraid that all of the problems are iTunes or Windows Vista related, and I might end up trading a good iPod for a defective one with the same software problems.

I did find that if I saved all of my photos as bitmaps, resized them to 640x480, and got rid of the dashes in the filenames, that they would work.

5220 express music phone software update

Lost all of my music during software update

I updated the software on my iPod Touch and all of the music I downloaded (and paid for) from iTunes is gone. Is there any way to get it back? Unfortunately I do not have it backed up to my computer, since I haven't done a syn in quite some time.

I have a similar problem to KitBear up there, except that I did backup my music, just not in iTunes. I'm not a big fan of iTunes as a library manager, plus I've got a few files that iTunes mysteriously refuses to acknowledge, so I use a third party program for the management of my music library only. This program, and the capacity vs available gig count on the iPod itself, confirm that all my music is indeed still on the device. But the device seems to think otherwise - the only song, of my 9,600+ song library, that shows up as availble to play is the one single song that I purchased on it. Any suggestions that don't involve resyncing with iTunes and potentially losing all the data that is, in fact, buried somewhere on my iPod?

80gb classic won't reboot after update

Apple sent a update notice for my ipod, downloaded as instructed, waited as required for the ipod to reboot. The unit keeps cycling on from the glowing apple screen to a black screen, unable to reboot. I have tried the hold buttone and the reset by pressing menu and select at the same time...same deal. Can't see the ipod on my computer any more or in itunes.
Any insights?

Maybe these two documents might help:

HELP NEEDED! 80Gb Classic , all Music is gone!

Hi everybody, I'm desperately looking for help.
Some days ago I was using iTunes, as always. Then I ejected my iPod...everything as usual, except that the Apple logo appeared on my iPod...after several seconds, it comes out the language selection menu, and then I noticed that all the music, 7999 tracks, were gone!
Now the iPod isn't recognized by iTunes, and Windows Vista sees it, but tells me that it needs to be formatted in order to be used. My iPod wasn't synchronized with the iTunes Library, I used to add songs manually. Unfortunately, my external HD, where I kept all my stuff, including songs, is broken too!
What should I do in order to have all my songs back?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sounds like the iPod's library is damaged and so it needs to restored. If the media files are still present on the drive then the following may help.
*Recover media from iPod*
See this post from Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7217190#7217190
Some of the tools linked to will only work if the iPod has a valid library. Others can scan the drive independently and some may even be able to rebuild a damaged library. The manual method towards the end should be able to recover your media regardless of the state of the library.
If the files system itself appears empty on the drive then you may just get luck with a drive undelete tool. There are free ones out there but it is ages since I had a use for one as I maintain decent backups.

ITunes Can't Connect to Music Store or Update Server

Hi.
Something is wrong with my internet settings and I don't know what it is. Certain programs are having trouble connecting to external sites, for example:
-iTunes won't connect to update server
-iTunes won't connect to music store
-Software Update can't connect to update server
-Gmail Notifier can't connect to mail server
I just got a new iPhone and can't configure the bloody thing - can someone please help me out?

Does any other PC/Mac experience this same issue?
If not then we at least know the issue is isolated to 1 machine having a particular issue.
But if it happens on Iphone and other machines then yes there is a network issue.
One simple thing you could do. Connect your PC directly into the cable modem see if services come back. If they do then something within the router is not working correctly.
At which point consult your router manufacture. Or even power cycle router for 5 min aka disconnect power, reconnect, reconnect to modem. And test connections again.

I just installed the latest Apple TV software update today. I can still play music from my iPhone 4 to th eATV but purchased movies don't seem to start playing now - or else the buffering time is huge compared with the previous software version. Any fix

I installed the latest software update on our Apple TV - this allows us to access VIMEO. However, although we can still play music from an iPhone 4 we can no longer play purchased tv shows - unless the buffering process has been extended to be glacially slow! It just shows it is loading but under the previous software release a show would start in a minute or two, nothing is happening afer 4 or 5 minutes with this one.

Thank you BDAua. This is what I typed and the reply from Terminal
java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06-451-11M4406)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01-451, mixed mode)
BTW - this application does NOT show up in the Applications folder and I consider that a bit odd.
I also tried typing Java for my computer to search for and this is what I got under

I hope something is helpful within all of this info!

Can't update firmware on *80GB Classic

I was prompted to install firmware update 1.1.1 for my 80GB Classic but I keep getting the message that the request has been timed out. On the downloads section of Itunes the estimated download time is showing as up to 3 hours, depsite me being on a fast broadband connection. Previous updates have gone fine.Purchases from Music Store go fine.
I have tried reinstalling Itunes and resetting Ipod but to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas? I am on Windows XP Home.

No you don't need to update the firmware.. but if you have forgotten the password you need to reset the TC.. it will then become available to the network.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Soft Reset to get around passwords.
To actually get around the password all you need to do is press the reset button for between 1-4sec seconds.. do not exceed that..
The passwords will then disappear for 5min reverting to default.. ie nothing on wireless and public for main access.
That allows you time to do the setup. Then try again with your ipad etc.
Otherwise find someone with a pc with windows and use the 5.6 utility on that or use an older Mac OS.. yosemite is hopeless.

Ripped a CD to iTunes, it is showing up in "My Music" but when I sync with my 80gb Classic the ripped CD is not syncing even though other changes I made are

Ripped a CD to iTunes, it is showing up in "My Music" but when I sync with my 80gb Classic the ripped CD is not syncing even though other changes I made are
Have checked device sync settings and it is entire music library and their is plenty of space on ipod to accommodate - have restarted both itunes and the computer and disconnected and reconnected ipod to no avail.
Running itunes on Window machine under W8.1 and ipod software is 1.12

Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

"Music" menu option disappeared from main iPod menu after software update

I need some help. I own the 80GB Video iPod. After performing the most recent update to the iTunes software, I was notified of a software update for the iPod (v1.2.1) so I installed it on the iPod.
iPod seemed to work fine until I decided to find music using the "Music" menu option on the main iPod menu... well, guess what, there is no "Music" menu option on the iPod. I have:
Photos
Videos
Playlists
Extras
Settings
Shuffle Songs
... no "Music" option.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Clint
Dell XPS Windows XP

There is a "Main Menu" option under Settings, that allows you to customize what does and does not appear on the main menu. Just go there and turn "Music" back on.

80gb 5.5 software to 80gb 6th Generation Software Update?

I purchased my 80gb iPod 5.5 Generation about 9 months ago, and since the release of the 80gb Classic 6th generation, I was wondering if there would be an update to the 5.5 generation to the 6th generation software? I sure would like that navigation of the 6th generation on my 5.5 generation. Or is there a upgrade promotion to trade in my 9 month old 80gb 5.5 generation to the new 6th generation? Had I known that there was a new generation coming out, I would have waited. Thanks.....

Ok...Having said that, is there any trade up program that Apple is offering to get the latest, since I only purchased my 5th generation 80gb 9 months ago? Like maybe trade in the current model to the latest for a $100 bucks or something like that? That would be something that would work well as a PR to those that feel ripped in not being able to have these latest features on a recent purchase?
