APPLE, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY SONGS?!

This isn't the first time something was wrong with my iPod, but this time I can't let my voice go unheard. Today, I wanted to recharge my iPod, so I plugged it into the computer. A couple of seconds later, it crashed. I thought nothing of it, since crashing is one of the things an iPod does every now and then. But when I looked in iTunes, I found that my play lists were wiped, and none of my songs or videos appeared. At first, I thought that it was just a glitch, and ejected my iPod. But when I looked for my songs it said: 0 songs. I looked in my photos: 0 photos. I checked the Settings\About menu and it said: Audio 0KB, Video 0KB, Photos 0KB, Other 6.7 GB, Free Space 8.2 GB. It appears to me that that "Other" category holds all my media for that is exactly how much my photos/video/songs took up (previously had around 80 MB in the "Other" category due to the games that come with the iPod). I do not understand what has happened with my media. Please help me, for I manually added my media to my iPod. Almost all of which was on my older hard drive. I did not bother to transfer my whole library for never thought I would run into a problem like this. As a result, almost ALL of my songs/video are gone; for I only got my new computer a few months ago and only added a few songs to my iTunes library. Please help! Thank you.

A crash during syncing is often the cause of the data corruption you're now seeing. The only way to fix it is to restore your iPod. You've now learned, the hard way, that an iPod should never be the only place you store your music.
I did not bother to transfer my whole library for never thought I would run into a problem like this.
I've heard it said that there are two groups of people: those whose hard drives have failed and those whose drives haven't failed YET. Hard drives will fail. iPods will need to be restored. You can't really blame Apple because you didn't back up your stuff.
You might check out some of the third party software for transferring music from iPods back to computers. You may be able to salvage some. Search the forums for posts by Zevoneer. He has some good advice on the matter.
Best of luck.

  • Apple why did you take the Sites folder with my website in it? Nobody helps!

    Since upgrading to Mavericks I lost my local website folder that used to be in the Sites folder!
    Error: Can't connect, check your info! Oh Apple why did you take it? "H E L P  P L E A S E!"

    Thank you Barney-15E
    I have no clue why this is or why I am getting this error in Mavericks. All I have is a local website folder in the Sites folder using Dreamweaver CS4 to update my files, working perfect on my other drive running 10.6.8 . Why I cant update and get the error above is the reason I am posting here. (and several other spots)
    You said:
    "First off, FTP is disabled in Mavericks, which is why you likely cannot FTP into your local Mac--why are you ftp'ing to the Mac you are working on?"
    You said:
    "Your Sites folder is in your Home folder. However, if you created it somewhere else, you'll have to figure that out."
    When I say my Sites folder is not in my Home folder you can bank on it. No I never changed any folders in there.

    It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
    Symptoms
    A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
    Resolution
    Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
    Which is exactly what eelw wrote.

  • Where are all my bookmarks - what have you done with Mozilla? you have screwed up my computer!

    Everything I had on my tool bar, and all the sites listed in my Bookmarks are GONE!!!
    What have you done with those sites? They were very important to me - I can not handle all these changes by Mozilla - None of these changes are of any use to me. I want to go back to my original screen and when I logged on today you would not let me access my internet and original screen without entering info that changed everything on my computer window!!! Help me find those BOOKMARKS
    Mozilla Firefox is not user friendly - I don't want all these apps - EBay, Weather or YouTube! I had the necessary sites listed that are important and used everyday - not those listed. Who are you to determine what "apps" I should be using???
    edit: email address edited out but it is likely too late for search bots grabbing it.

    I'm desperate to get back my Bookmarks in the same unsorted way and easily accessible as I had previously - at the moment they are hidden away in some sort of zipped form I am unable to access: they were previously listed in the ideal way for me to access - as chronologically bookmarked and disparate. It really is infuriating to have this level of interference with my personal affairs on my computer without even seeking my consent. Ideally I want a return to the earlier version of Firefox which worked perfectly well for me - I'm plagued with excessive slowness and freezing since the latest -Firefox 5.0- update was installed. Is there any simple way to revert back to the earlier version of Firefox?

  • Apple, what have you done? 8.01 makes my ipad seems like it is back on dial up. Don't fix what ain't broken, or is your policy break it so we have to fix it?

    Apple, what have you done? 8.01 makes my ipad seems like it is back on dial up. Don't fix what ain't broken, or is your policy break it so we have to fix it?

    Hi The best option is to do a factory Reset this will get rid of any bugs And set up iPad as new. Just use same Apple ID you will get all your Apps & Data back. Do this over Wifi Cheers Brian

  • What do you do with three avatars?

    I noticed, that I can add more than one avatar, but I am not sure how to put them to a good use - so how do you use your three avatars?
    I like avatars - in a lengthy discussion the avatars help to find posts by a specific person at a glance, but that purpose surely would be defeated if everybody kept changing the avatars at will - so what to do with three of them?
    Use different avatars like emoticons?
    using a fierce looking avatar when answering a recalcitricant poster who is unwilling to answer any questions and refuses to read the manual
    and switching to a  friendly, cute, angelic avatar when taking to a shy newbie?
    Use a new avatar to celebrate a new reputation level?
    Use different avatars for posting in different communities - a musical avatar in the GarageBand forum, a technical one in the System oriented boards, cool pictures in the Aperture and iPhoto communities?
    Change your avatar as "Season's Greetings"?
    Ignore them, but enjoy the knowledge and the privilege that you just might use them some day?
    So what do you do with them? Just curious.
    Regards
    Léonie

    Won;t work the avatars aren;t sticky. The avatar shown is always the current one not the one set when you created the post.
    Use a new avatar to celebrate a new reputation level?
    Possible we'll see
    Use different avatars for posting in different communities - a musical avatar in the GarageBand forum, a technical one in the System oriented boards, cool pictures in the Aperture and iPhoto communities?
    Like  above, won;t work.
    Change your avatar as "Season's Greetings"?
    Or for 'Hitch Hikers Guide Day'
    Ignore them, but enjoy the knowledge and the privilege that you just might use them some day?
    And miss have scintillating conversations like this!
    I like avatars - in a lengthy discussion the avatars help to find posts by a specific person at a glance, but that purpose surely would be defeated if everybody kept changing the avatars at will
    Perhaps this is actually the best reason to change them!

  • What did you think of iMovie '11?

    I am thinking about buying a new mac but I'm only really concerned about the movie making software. I have used iMovie a few years ago and I liked it for the most part but I want some personal feedback on it. What did you think of the new software? What has changed in the last few years? Anything important that I should know?

    Hi
    If You last used iMovie HD6 then the change is severe - it's a compleately new tool.
    If iMovie'08 or 09 the difference is not that great.
    Some I listed as
    *iMovie 09 (v8) 8.0.6 (jan 2009)*
    • Far better than iMovie 08 but still far from good.
    • Pic in pic, green screen but basic
    • Image stabilization - fairly good for amateur use
    • Speed-up/down and reverse
    • Bl/W, Old age etc
    • Still - No Continous TimeLine
    • NO - Possibilities to enhanze by use of thirdpart Plug-ins (all investments lost)
    • NO - Playback via Camera/FW - and this prevents 100% safteybackups and the use of an extra TV/Monitor as real-time Quality control (as in iM 1 to HD6)
    Aimed at - speed editing small video projects to be presented on the Internet - NOT DVDs
    *iMovie 11 (v9) 9.0.x*
    • Will be - Intel Only
    • Snow Leopard minimum Mac OS X.6.3
    YES
    • Advanced view including a true TimeLine ? Yes but rudimentary (very basic)
    • True Storyboard - where You even can write and prepare space for lacking material that needs to be obtained or re-shoot. YES
    • Better wave-form presentation of audio and audio tools - Rubberband - Yes
    • Trailer creating tool
    • ”Faces” as in iPhoto - NO - but this finds if there are people in some video-clips
    • Better audio tools. Equalizer and a background audio reducer
    • More Camera support eg 24fps
    NO
    • not 64-bit only
    • The Playback to Camera via FW - returns ? NO
    • Full Quality to iDVD - NO - still only half - every second line
    • Plug-in facility ? - NO
    • No free text tool
    • Tool to mask an identity eg band over face or unsharp area. - NO (could be obtained via Plug-ins in iM HD6 and earlier)
    • Animation tool - To point on interesting object/player - NO animations refere to a totally different
    thing connected to Storyboard and insert of ”dummy animations” while building a movie
    Yours Bengt W

  • DEAR ORACLE: what have you done with webdb?

    dear oracle,
    i was using webdb since rel 2.0.* and i think, it was a great idea! we could visualize data
    and give the users the chance to access the data in a very simple way - without programming
    in java, c++ or anything else ( ok, pl/sql is needed sometimes. but as long as we are using
    oracle databases, we will find someone with pl/sql-knowledge :-), so this is not an
    additional requirement).
    but what have you done with this wonderful idea?
    you have moved webdb to an enterprise-portal, with great functionality and a huge requirement
    of resources. no doubt, it is a powerful product, where you can build wonderfull sites
    full of surprising elements, every second character bold and blinking . . .
    but you forgot the customers, who only need a simple way, to create forms and reports.
    by moving portal to such a level, as you have done, you left a gap below this.
    please tell me, why should i install and use such a 'mighty' product as 9iAS, when i only
    need the functionality, that came with webdb??
    some impressions:
    - starting with the installation ( download 2 GB! a just released product and i have to download
    additional 274 MB of patches, wasting more time with the patch-installation than the rest).
    - space-requirements of nearly 5 GB (approx. 12 times as much as webdb 2.2)
    - i have to use internet directory, management server, enterprise manager - all products,
    that i don't need for the rest of my daily business and that i'm not familiar with
    (until now) -> requiring additional time to become familiar with. do you realy think, that the use of all
    products in your portfolio makes it easier to handle (as stated in one of the white papers?)?
    It seems, that you have lost the ground!
    - saving my investments by a migration path? i can forget this - oracle support surrendered and tells
    me, that there is something in the installation that prevents me from upgrading.
    - the product portal seems to be very 'dynamic': if i don't want to lose support, i have to upgrade
    to the next release nearly every three months (one of the most important phrases, heard by support-stuff:
    "you have any problem? you should upgrade to the latest release first!")
    so, dear oracle,
    i hope, you remember those customers, who don't want an overkill. please, fill up the
    gap with an applicationserver-light/portal-light and don't forget, that the main scope of your
    customers is to fulfil their own customers needs and not to administer oracle-products.
    regards

    I have tried to open several large PDF docs with Reader DC (although on Windows 7), and they all open instantly.
    Two possibilities I can think of:
    Are you inside a corporate firewall?  If so, make sure that you have access to cloud.acrobat.com
    If the above is not the problem, can you try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
