845 MB used, no songs

HI! I have a 1 GB iPod Nano since this summer...I've had no problems until yesterday. I disconnected it from my PC "not safely" , and then, when I turned it on to listen to the music, I saw there was no music. I thought it all had been erased, but I've seen on iTunes that 845 MB are being used, as if all the songs I had were still on the iPod, but I can't acceede to them, neither through iTunes nor the same iPod.
I've thought I can format the iPod, but I don't know how...any better option? Thanx
PS: sorry for my English, I know it's not very good, I hope you have understood me.

Thanks for the link, I'll follow the instructions...just one thing I've not understood....when you and the article talk about the hard drive, and say that all the information will be removed, are you talking about the PC hard drive or the ipod one? Because it would be a bigger problem if my PC hard drive got erased...

How do you get an Ipod Classic to make Genius mixes using the songs you want?

My Ipod Classic is now about four years old. it's the grey, 160gb model. the hard drive doesn't click, so it's in stable, working condition, as far as I can tell, but lately, I've been having a few problems with it. first and foremost, it's stubbornly refusing to make Genius Playlists for me, using the songs I want. Secondly, it's not playing some songs. now, the second issue isn't new, and I've fixed it before, but that brings me to my third issue.
when opening Klondikes (because that's the only game I play on my ipod out of the three that come with it) the other day, it gave me an error message stating "game cannot be opened because ipod is full" or something like that. I have 160 gigabytes of storage, and all I have on there is music.
anyway, back to the Genius problem.
So I'll tell the Ipod to make a new Genius Mix from a selected song. in this case, I'll use Alestorm's "Keelhauled" for example. I made an edit of the song, decreasing the tempo, and drawing out the length of the song to 4:20. every single time, the ipod will use that instead of the original.
Say I use "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran (from The Hobbit, of course). the ipod uses the Kygo Remix I have.
Say I use "One Eight Zero" by Grendel. it uses the remix.
Say I use "The Sunk'n Norwegian", by Alestorm. the Ipod uses the Acoustic version.
Say I use "7 Days to the wolves", by Nightwish. it actually uses that song, and not the Instrumental version.
for "Whispers In The Dark", by Skillet, it doesn't use it, or the Instrumental version cause it can't find a match. (not a problem, just extraneous information.)
Say I use "We Can Make The World Stop" by The Glitch Mob. it uses a piano cover.
the trend I'm noticing here is that it only applies to songs with remixes. but as I have 1408 songs on my ipod, and need to be at work in an hour, I'm not going to look through everything to find every single instance of this.
the ID3 tags for these songs are correct.
Now, this is likely just a tagging issue, but the software should treat them as different songs. after all, most of them are stored in completely different blocks of memory. most of these are even different genres than the originals. and in the case of Keelhauled, because I exported the remix from Garageband, I'm listed as the Artist.
can someone please explain to me what's going on with my ipod, or give me some insight into what's going on under the hood?

A "classic" iPod is really a hard drive with a media player tacked on. Like any hard drive (including your computer's), it can develop data corruption. For example, maybe you mistakenly or accidentally disconnected it from the computer while it was syncing. Or you dropped it, while the iPod was trying to access its drive for song data. Or the hard drive can be getting worn out and unreliable.
The Restore will not fix the problem if the hard drive is becoming faulty. But if the data corruption was caused by something else, the Restore should fix it by erasing the hard drive to give it a "fresh start," like reformatting your computer's drive and reinstalling the OS.

How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone?

How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone? Like music from my library I want to use invGarageBand to record over.

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

How do i use a song in my music as a ring tone on my iphone 5?

I am new to the apple I phones now, I have had a 4s for about 3 months then I happened to loose it at work so I bought an I Phone 5. Now i would like to know how to use a song in my music folder or a song that is already on my phone as a ringtone?
Thanks for any help that is received

You need to create a ringtone from your song using itunes (see Create free ringtones with iTunes 10), then select it on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync it to your phone. Once synced to your phone you will find it in Settings>Sounds>Ringtone at the top of the list. (If you're using iTunes 11 you may need to go to View>Show Sidebar to follow the process shown in the linked video.)

Try:
- Another cable
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I use a song stored in ipod on my iPhone 4 as a ring tone

How do I use a song stored in ipod on my iPhone 4 as a ring tone

You need to use an App like Ringtone Maker or Ringtone Wizard Pro for that.
Or, what I do is to make my own ringtones with music I have in my computer and then sync them to my iPhone following this steps:
Open iTunes.
Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
Click the "Options" tab.
Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
Click "OK."
Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
Click on the "Keep Files" button.
Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Hope this was helpful

A email account that was used is now not in use and songs that were purchased and added are bound to this old account from the same computer how do I the purchaser of these songs reclaim the authorization to play and use in my new account. even though account name may have been changed.

How can i use a song as a ring tone from a cd i have loaded on the 4s

How can i use a song as a ringtone from a cd i have loaded on my iphone 4s

The weird thing is, when u make your own ringtones, they sound terrible when set as a ringtone (really tiny and generally awful), but when u set them as a text tone or any other alert they sound great (like they do when u play them through the music app).
Is this just a bug with iOS5 or have previous models also done this?
