All songs deleted on iPod & corruption error.

So, I plugged in my iPod like usual to charge it and all the songs were erased from my iPod but still in iTunes.
When plugged in I got this message on my computer as a taskbar pop-up iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File The file or directory\iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesPrefs is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chcksk Utility.
And then when iTunes actually opens automatically it asks me to set-up my iPod...name and all that syncing stuff.
Then it says that 'The iPod 'Zillah' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured(-48).
Help please and thanks.

If using a Mac, use Migration Assistant to move your iTunes library from old computer to new. Afterwards you can sync from your new computer to your iPod.

All my songs deleted from ipod!!! HELP

I have an ipod mini and I actually have 2 problems. My itunes says that all the space on my ipod was used up, but I only have 360 songs on it, so it's obviously not all used up. I accidently deleted the "ipod selection" thing on the left side. It updated my ipod, and now the songs on my ipod are all gone! Completely blank! The songs are still on my library, but the itunes still thinks there is no free space. HELP ME PLEASE I'M VERY UPSET.

But that's like, so many okay I'll do it again, Thanks

Ipod corrupted - Error -53 when attempting to sync 160gb ipod classic

Every time I attach my ipod to my PC (Vista) I get a windows message that the drive is corrupted. I also get to various points of the syncing process in itunes and it fails to complete as I get an itunes error message number -53. I seem to have tried everything - re-formatting drive, restoring ipod, resetting ipod, deleting files that were being synced at the time of the syncing failure, but I can't seem to solve this problem and cannot find any info on error -53 anywhere on itunes support or even when searching on the web.
Can anyone help please??
Thanks.

I am having the same problem as well with my 80GB classic. The syncing will start and then freeze at various points during the process. I have received the error -53 message and others as well after this. I have restored my ipod at least 50 times. Once I get the ipod corrupted message, vista will give me a message stating there are disk errors on the ipod drive. I have scanned the drive twice (which takes hours) and just when it is about to be done i get a message "windows unable to complete the format". I tried disabling the USB 2.0 ports to where they "aren't 2.0" and that didn't work either.
I have tried winamp, floola and anapod as well. I get similar errors on those systems as well.
I thought it might be my OS or vista but I borrowed an older ipod mini 4GB and it synced over 500 songs just fine. I also tried an ipod shuffle 1GB and it synced fine as well. I brought my ipod over to a friend's house who has an older computer that runs XP and doesn't have USB 2.0 and it synced music fine.
I have spent hours searching the internet and trying various things. This is the only post I have found so far that people are having the exact same problems as I am. I am just wondering if it is my computer or ipod classic that is the problem.
Thanks for any assistance.

one of the problems may be that the original files may have been moved.
before you do anything, open itunes, then click on the ipod icon on the left side of the screen. there should be 4 check boxes. make sure the "manually manage music" check box is filled in
for one thing, try finding the folder where all of your music is stored.
then, click and drag the music into itunes, or onto your ipod.

I just lost all songs on my Ipod, but my Itunes still has everything

I plugged my Ipod into the computer today, usual as always, just to import over a few new CD's, but then I get this pop-up.
"Songs on the iPod "Scott's iPod" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
Confused, I checked my music on my iPod, and now...There is nothing there!
No Songs, No Playlists, No CDS, nothing.
Yet...everything is still in my iTunes, most of which was on my Ipod a few minutes ago
What the heck happened and how do I fix this?

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 1800MB for a 2G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "1800" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

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

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.

How Can I Play All Songs On My IPod Touch at Same Volume?

I have an IPod Touch 5th Generation which I bought this year. I also have a 4 year old Apple IMac desktop with ITunes version 11.0.4(4).
I have the latest version of OS Mountain Lion.
I sync songs from ITunes on my IMac desktop to the IPod Touch. Songs play back at different volumes on the IPod Touch.
I want them all to play at the same volume.
Almost all of the songs in my ITunes on my IMac were downloaded from many different music websites,
very few from the Apple Store.
I also have an IPod Nano 5th Generation which I bought a few years ago. I copied songs from ITunes on my desktop to my IPod Nano.
But I did not sync them. Just transferred or copied many of the songs from ITunes, without syncing. The ITunes songs appear to play at equal volume on
my IPod Nano but not on my IPod Touch. For Settings on my IPod Touch, I set Sound Check to On.
Regarding ITunes Preferences (ITunes is on my desktop IMac):
The Sound Enhancer and the Sound Check are both checked, and have been checked for a long time. Therefore all the songs
on my IPod Touch should all be played at the same volume, shouldn't they, since they were synced from ITunes.
Doesn't the Sound Check on ITunes control that?
If they all play on the same volume on my ITunes, shouldn't all songs play on the same volume on my IPod Touch?
I noticed today the Crossfade in ITunes Preferences on my IMac was not checked. I thought it had been, but maybe I accidentally unchecked it one day.
I checked it today but was not sure what time to put on it. I put the time in the middle, which is about 6 seconds. Not sure if this is OK.
I'd like one song to come on just about when the previous song ends. Any suggestions? (There does not seem to be a Crossfade option
in the ITouch Music Settings). If I use Crossfade in ITunes, will it crossfade when I play the IPod Touch, since it synced the ITunes?
Also, I have the music setting for EQ on my IPod Touch set to OFF. I assume I don't need this, but please let me know if I do.

Settings>Music>Sound Check will HELP to normalise the volume of your music but it only averages it out.

New computer - all songs erased from ipod

We recently got a new laptop. I was attempting to download itunes software and link their website while my ipod nano was charging. When doing this, all songs were wiped out on my ipod! Does anyone know if this can be saved? Can the files be found again? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! THANKS

Due to the earthquake, we are having a problem on doing search on Google, but I have heard that there are some softwares may help to recover the songs
