All songs deleted on iPod mini but they are all still on iTunes

For some wierd reason all my songs were deleted from my iPod mini when I deleted one playlist. Now I can't update my iPod, because iTunes says that all of the playlists selected no longer exist. Should I restore my iPod mini? I'm scared. Please help me. Thank you so much.

I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually.

I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!

Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes. When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes. When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work. This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook. It doesn't happen when I use a different computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here.

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

How do I transfer songs from my ipod mini to my computer or to my itunes library? Songs/playlists show up as being on ipod but cant move to itunes library.

How do I transfer songs from my ipod mini to either my computer or to my itunes library.

Hello Christopher,
There are 2 ways to go about this. One is to use the manual method which is a little different depending on whether or not you use a Mac or a PC or you can opt to use a 3rd party software that can help you accomplish the task as well. See this older thread for a list of possible software you could use.

How do I take songs off Ipod Classic if they are no longer in ITunes?

I've nearly filled my Ipod Classic with music. Since my computer only has so much storage and ITunes couldn't possibly store all the songs, I kept deleting them, then would add new ones, move them manually to the Ipod, and then delete them. I continued this cycle to get as much music as I wanted on the Ipod. But now I'd like to add some new music and I'm willing to sacrifice some of the music that's on the Ipod. So how do I remove songs from the Ipod if they are no longer in ITunes?

It sounds like your iPod is set to use the Manually manage music and videos setting, which is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. When you use the manual method, the iTunes library on the computer is not linked in any way to the library on the iPod.
So how do I remove songs from the Ipod if they are no longer in ITunes?
So, that does not even matter. iTunes is not keeping the two libraries "in sync" in any way. First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
To remove songs from the iPod manually, click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the iPod. Click on Music there. The list of songs on the iPod is shown to the right. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: It is a bad and risky idea to keep the only copy of song files on an iPod, which can become lost, broken, or in need of a Restore. You will eventually lose your music. You should keep all of your songs in your iTunes library on your computer (as the "master copy"). If the internal drive does not have the space, you should get an external drive that is large enough to hold all of your songs (with room to grow). You can then set up iTunes to store its iTunes Media folder on the external drive.

Bought 3 songs on my iPod touch but didn't show up on iTunes. What to do?

I bought 3 songs yesterday directly from the iTunes Store on my iPod touch. They all downloaded and processed, and I assumed that they showed up on my iPod's music library.
Today I checked my iPod to listen to those 3 songs, but only one of them showed up. The other two just vanished. So I turned on the computer and synced my iPod with iTunes. I have it set to manually manage music and videos. When I clicked on "Purchased on (my name)'s iPod" under "Devices" all three songs were there. I checked my iPod again, and all the songs were now there.
But when I clicked on the iTunes store and clicked "Purchased" or "Purchased from (my name)'s iPod," none of the songs showed up. I checked my iTunes music library for the album of the songs, but none of them were present.
I reviewed my account's purchase history, and the songs I purchased were listed.
If I go on iTunes on the computer to download those songs again, will I be guaranteed to get a message that I already purchased the songs and that I can download them for free? The songs apparently weren't copied to my iTunes music library when I synced my iPod, since they didn't show up.
Will that message "You have already purchased this item..." show up even if I bought the song on my iPod, synced it but didn't copy the item to iTunes, and use iTunes on the computer to buy the sitem(s) again?
When I attempted to download the songs again on iTunes, it asked me if I was sure I wanted to download and buy the songs. It informed me that "my account will be debited for this purchase and the download will begin immediately." I got afraid and backed out. If I clicked, "Buy now," would it have given me the message that I already bought the songs, even if I didn't get them synced to my iTunes or purchased it from my iPod?
Please help!

It worked! Thank you!
But how come it didn't work when I first plugged in my iPod into the computer?

I have an iPod touch 4g. It's white I just got it a week ago. It had iOS 5.0.1 for default. I could get music on my iPod with syncing it from my pc.

In i tunes on my computer I have songs that I downloaded that want transfer to my i pod.The songs has a exclamation symbol next to the in my playlist.Could someone please help me with this issue? Thank you, S.Reid

Your technical issues have zero to do with the installers. Whatever is at play is rooted on your system, but you have not provided any specific system info nor crash logs. Pardon me, but "Photoshop is crashing" is a useful as my 88 year old grandma telling me her phone doesn't work...

HT201269 I downloaded new music into my ipod touch and now when i go on my ipod touch the old music i had on there is like i cant hear them but they are there still

i downloaded new music on my ipod touch today and now when i go on my ipod touch the old music i had on there i cant listen to them no more because they arent there but still there like i could still see the names of them

Are they grayed out?
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
You can also try deleting all music by:
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Deleted videos from iphoto but they are still showing up in the finder?

I deleted all of my videos from iPhoto and moved them to an external hard drive because I wanted to free up some space on my MacBook Air. The files are no longer visible in the iPhoto application, but for some reason, when I look at the storage space on my computer, it is still showing that I have 8GB of movies on my computer. If I search in the Finder, it is showing that a lot of these videos that I deleted from iPhoto are still in a "Masters" folder in iPhoto. I am confused, though, because if I open iPhoto, the videos are not in there. I want these video files to be deleted for good - can I just go in to the "Masters" folder in the Finder and delete them there? I've read not to delete anything from iPhoto in the Finder, though. So, getting very frustrated because I'm not sure why these files aren't fully deleted off my computer. Any suggestions?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Trying to download apps on I pad mini but they are stuck on waiting and never get to the password phase. Circle on app just keeps turning

Trying to download apps but circle just keeps turning and the apps stuck on waiting

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

With this new itunes I see you can download old song from other p.cs if they are listed in your itunes with a could next to them. How do I make it so I see the songs on my new itunes on a different computer?

When I first downloaded itunes 11 I saw all my old song that are on another computer listed in my itunes list on my laptop with a little cloud with an arrow in it next to the songs from my old itunes. When I updated to 11.1 the cloud icon stayed in the top part of the itunes list where you can click name, artist, all that to organize you itunes list but the songs from my old account were gone. I can't remember how, but some how I tuned the songs back on, if you will and all my old songs repaired with the clouds next to them. Well my boyfriend has the cloud smiple in his organize list thing, but no songs from his old itunes list of a different computer like me and he wants those songs back. I have been trying for hours to re-watch the itunes and icloud tutorials but because of my slow wi-fi I can't get the videos to load and they keep freezing my itunes so I can't even shut it down without restarting my laptop, so I need some help on remebering how to make the old songs show up in his itunes. Can anyone please help? By the way we both have Windows 7.

If you go to settings>music there should be a setting to show all music. Turn that off, and the cloud purchases should disappear. You may need to restart the phone to take efect
