All playlists missing from iPod Touch?

Hi there. In need of help with a bit of a frustrating issue.
Currently on my iPod Touch, all of my playlists are missing. They're available on my iTunes and on my iPod nano, but not on my iPod touch. This happened before and I reset my iPod which temporarily fixed the issue but during my last sync it went missing again. Everything is up to date and my sync settings are set to sync everything.
Help?

Are these playlists configured to sync to your device from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes?  To access this tab, plug your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  You should be under the Summary tab when you look to the right in the main window.  Locate the Music tab along the top and select it. 
If you make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.

  • Music vanishes all the time from iPod touch using the iTunes App...

    Hi
    I am often not near a computer and prefer to purchase music for my iPod Touch from the iTunes app on the Touch itself. This has worked fine for many months. I believe my iPod is a 3rd gen. However lately I suddently noticed that some music purchased recently was completely missing from the iPod, even some songs purchased as part of an album just vanished... the rest of the album songs were still there, but a couple of random ones had just gone.
    Now, every time I try and purchase and download something from the iTunes App (I literally just tried it again) it just doesn't appear in the purchased playlist.. or anywhere on my iPod in fact.
    Essentially, I've wasted my money on buying songs that just don't appear. I've also noticed that the music search chugs a lot these days, as if there's some sort of background problem.
    I recently upgraded the software (with multitasking etc) but the problem hasn't been fixed.
    This is a really frustrating issue, and I have purchased several songs twice and got nothing! So really keen to see if anyone has seen it before and if they can please help me?
    I've tried deleting apps, restarting the iPod... when I try and sync with the PC, the purchases are nowhere to be seen. It's all a bit disappointing really!
    I'm on a 64Gig iPod touch and have 41 Gig showing as available!
    Please help, I've searched for hours and got nothing on this specific issue.
    Thanks

    hmmm nobody can help me? Is this because nobody wants to tell me I've wasted my money?

  • Songs suddenly missing from Ipod Touch

    I was listening to my ipod touch when I realized that I'm missing a lot of songs. It was fine few hours back when I was listening to my ipod but then the songs just went missing. So I connected my ipod to my macbook and on itunes it shows all the songs I have on my ipod. I tried to play the songs that were missing but here's an exclamation mark next to the songs. It can't be played. Initially, I had only 10GB left on my ipod but now I have  about 20GB. When I clicked on the apps, tones, etc tabs the storage indicator went back to 10GB. I have not done anything so why did this happen?

    Sounds like you has a software glitch that corrupted the music files. That happens sometimes.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Random songs missing from ipod touch

    Hi
    I have an iPod touch 4 and for no particular reason, a load of random songs have disappeared.
    Every album is missing songs, some just one or two but some just have 1 song remaining!
    I haven't synced my iPod for weeks because my computer is broken and is currently away getting fixed.
    Could it be because I haven't synced it? I can't understand why that would be though.
    I did buy an album recently via my iPod itunes so could this have anything to do with it? I'm honestly not sure if the songs went missing before or after I bought this.
    I just really don't understand how it could have happened and it's really fustrating as I've now lost my itunes as my hard drive failed. Does this mean that all of the music I had is gone forever?! 
    Thanks

    As I said, my harddrive failed and I have lost everything off the computer.
    And most of the stuff wasn't bought from itunes, it's imported from CDs, a lot of which I don't have anymore for various reasons. 

  • All music missing from ipod... Pls help!

    Hi,
    So i listened to my ipod on the way to work, connected it via UBS to my laptop for charging as normal. On the way home.. NO MUSIC!!!
    When I connect to itunes now, itunes say it can't recognise the ipod and tells me to restore factory settings.
    I have less than a third of what was on my ipod in my itunes because they changed my hardrive months ago and didn't back up my music so it was lost from itunes.
    my Ipod settings say I have Capacity 27.8Gb and Available 16.8GB. So this tells me that my music is still in my ipod.. but I can't see it and all menus say there is nothing in there!! I'm going mad. I had over 3000 songs and it'll be a nightmare to upload all my cd's again which is why i don't want to restore the factory settings.
    Anyone else had this problem and managed to get their music back???
    Please say yes and let me know how I can resolve this.
    Many thanks,

  • App button went missing from ipod touch

    I had to restore my ipod touch to factory settings and now im missing my app store button on my ipod itself. Can anyone tell me how to get it back?

    It's possibly on another App page or you have turned on a restriction in Settings > General > Restrictions.

  • All songs and playlists missing from iPod

    I have a 20GB iPod with the click wheel. It is not showing any of the music I have loaded on it, but when I look under "About", it says that the capacity = 18.5 GB, available = 150MB, which would seem to indicate there is data on the device. When I plug it into my computer for iTunes, I get a message saying that it can't find the music. I believe its happened before, but just 'fixed' itself. I have tried the reset (menu + middle) thing. No luck. PLEASE HELP . . . SO DESPERATE!

    Hi people!
    I think to have the same problem. Yesterday i have plug my iPod into my computer (Windows XP) and iTunes can't show me the songs (but all songs were fisically in the path music!!) I read also a message in the traybar such this " \iPod_Control\Device\Sysinfo is corrupt or unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility."
    Well I say me.. CALM! So I tried to restore my ipod using itunes tool (with version 7.1) and all problems was vanished.
    so i have restored some songs into the ipod.
    All ok.. Till this evening: iTunes can't see some of the songs uploaded yesterday! Why?
    Some songs had this problem: when i would play "The Show Must go on" the ipod play other sogn but the title on display is correct! Now i tried to update itunes to 7.3 version, and after some attemp of plug/unplug the ipod from the computer i don't see the problem yet.
    what is happened?
    Sorry for my english guys, i come from Rome! Thank you in advance

  • Playlists missing from ipod

    I updated my ipod, and now all of my playlists are gone from the ipod....even the factory installed ones. My library is intact, but where are my playlists?

    Hello Dbreeze,
    You have "landed" in the iSight section of forums, as opposed to the
    iPod & Windows
    Section.
    Try in there Dbreeze. I am sure some one will know more about iPods and Windows in there.
    Good luck

  • All pictures erased from Ipod touch 4th gen?

    4th Gen was replaced in US - back in UK tried to import new pictures taken on new ipod to laptop (didn't sync) - all pictures disappeared - could i get them back?

    Not if the photos are not either on the iPod or the computer.  If they do not appear on either they are gone forever.  If they are in a previous iPod backup, restoring from that backup would get them back.

  • All Songs Missing From iPod

    Somebody PLEASE HELP! I saved some new songs to my computer and was importing them into iTunes. I was then transferring the songs to my iPod nano. After the first 3 or 4 songs, I get an error message from iTunes (I do not remember it exactly, since I was trying to "fix" it). It said something about my "CJ DISK" (CJ my initials) file needed to be inserted or downloaded because of a "Volume" error. I had never seen this before and it was no longer allowing me to transfer songs. So then I clicked on my iPod file to see if the songs I downloaded were "whole". When I clicked on a song (any song) in my iPod list, it woudn't let me play any of the songs and then gave me another error message, which I also cannot recall exactly. I then ejected my iPod from iTunes, but the iPod was still acting as if it were connected. So then I "rebooted" the iPod (hold button on/off and held "menu" and "select" buttons). When the iPod rebooted, ALL of my songs were gone; All 180 of them!!! What just happened?? What do I do now??

    If you're going to "help" people, then maybe you need
    to work on your bedside manner. If you don't get
    that you were rude in your response, then you can't
    be helped and I personally don't want yours.
    Oh that's nice, so you think it must be an honour for anyone to give you advice and help you?
    If you want advice for free you have to accept personal manners more or less as long as the comment is within normal ettiquette. If you pay for the advice you of course can expect the form the advice is given but not if it's in a free forum like here.
    I find it quite astonishing which demands some people posting for advice here have in others who give their knowledge in their spare time and without any form of payment whatsoever.
    So maybe consider a little if the form you gave your answer maybe deters others from helping you.

  • Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

    Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
    I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1.  Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method.  All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
    My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over.  After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen.  The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library.  I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck.  Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
    I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out.  When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it.  I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items.  Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists?  Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple?  Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library.  I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
    Thanks very much --

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Transfer playlists and content from iPod Touch to new computer

    I was trying to search for old answers on this topic, but instead the system is forcing me to create a new post. 
    My old laptop crashed, and the backup I had of my iTunes was outdated.  I have more current music and playlists on my iPod Touch than are available to back up from my external hard drive, including a playlist I created for my dad's funeral.  I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE IT.  I spent hours and hours creating it, and ripping music for it, and facing losing it if I sync my iPod really hurts.  I am afraid to connect my iPod Touch to my new laptop for fear of losing that playlist and the music I ripped from his CD collection to create it.   
    Can someone please help me to back up my content, including my playlists and rippled music (and ideally apps and other content) from my iPod Touch to the new laptop?  (I also have voice mails in an app on my iPod from a friend who died shortly after my dad, and I don't want to risk losing those, either, as they are the only way I have of hearing his voice.)
    Again, because my old laptop crashed between backups, I do not have the option of backing up the iTunes data from the old computer and transferring it that way.  I have to get it off the Touch somehow and get it back into iTunes on the new laptop.
    (I hate Apple for making what should be super easy so hard!  Why is data transfer one-way only, from computer to device?  And how can I be certain my iPod Touch won't be erased and set to the content on the computer if I connect it??)
    Thank you to anyone who can help me!
