Cannot get any songs on all of a sudden!

I suddenly cannot autofill or put any songs on my ipod shuffle (2nd). Tried recommended trouble shooting. I don't know if I have the receipt, but I've only had it for a few months and it worked fine prior to today. Any other suggestions?

Need more details if we are to assist you in this forum.

3 Out Of 4 STBs Do Not Work And I Cannot Get Any Help At All.

Last night at 10:30 the 3 7100s stopped working, they are stuck at Starting Up One Moment Please. My 7232 is working just fine, so is my Phone and Internet. So I call in and I am prompted through the exact same steps I have already taken, unplug box, unplug coax, turn on, turn off. Nothing, same result. She then states there isn't a signal from the boxes I need to locate the splitters in the house and disconnect them. I say it is after midnight and pouring, as they are all outside. Repeated this sequence 3 times before I had to raise my voice, "They are all outside where it is pouring." Her reply is there is nothing she can do until I disconnect them and reconnect, NOTHING, click.
So after work today I come home, disconnect every coax lead there is, unplug the boxes, unplug their coaxes, hook everything up and still Stuck on the Starting Up Screen. I tried 2 chats and each one is exactly the same, unplug, plug in..... Then it is the whole house reset, that drops connection and the chat and rep are gone. Now, mind you, they have my cell number because they ask for it in case of a disconnect, but they never use it. Nothing has changed, only the 7232 works and I am getting ready for another phone call, to go over the exact same script again and again.
You wonder why a customer is already angry when we finally talk to someone, why do you think? You want your payment for services not rendered, a service call is out of the question and your phone reps. don't have a clue. All they can do is read the script and repeat the same steps that have been done already. Isn't there a record of every call and chat and can't they see it and then use their common sense and try to deal with a problem?
So we are stuck with 3 boxes that aren't working, apparently they are not getting a signal so sending another one won't fix this either. Seems something is seriously wrong but no one can help.

I was having the same problem.. TV went out on wednesday, called verizon and was on the phone until midnight doing the stupid little unplug **bleep**, but the TV just kept on that red fios screen. They said they would send out a new DVR box to replace the one I have (mind you I just started with verizon on the 18th of July). I get the new DVR on Friday and at last I plug it in, get all excited to watch the NFL preseason games and of course, the **bleep** doesn't work, just a black screen. I call verizon again and on hold for an hour before I had to leave. Come back, screen is still on black and call them and wait another thirty minutes before its answered, they did everything on their end for trying to manually activate the box, and still nothing..... he then gave me a reference number for the technician scheduled to come the next day (Saturday) from 8am to 9pm, of course i wasn't happy with the open schedule but I sucked it up and dealt with it, canceled my plans for Saturday so I can be home when the verizon tech shows up and find myself calling verizon at 930pm asking where the hell this tech was, they told me the office is closed and they open at 8am tomorrow. Well its tomorrow and I call them back, just to find out that its not open until MONDAY at 8am......................................................................................................................................................................................................... and so now I have to wait yet another day to try and get my **bleep** fixed that I'm paying for and havent even had a month.... yea good luck getting me to pay verizon

My ipod deleted everything it had on it and cannot get any songs stored on the ipod. Itunes has trouble finding my ipod at times, but when it finds it, it won't allow any files i try to put on my ipod stay on their.

I have the ipod classic 160gb and got it just last christmas. For quite awhile, it worked fine for me, but then one day i turned it on and there was no music or videos on my ipod. Battery was charged, the ipod functions well, just no music or videos. I tried connecting to my laptop and it wasnt showing up on itunes, but it was showing up on my computer. I updated my itunes to see if that worked and it did. It seemed to work, so I started putting my songs on it and my videos, and after i would disconnect it from the computer, nothing was on my ipod, again. I did this a couple of times with no result, with resetting it to factory settings 3 times to no avail. My brother told me to try to sync it up with my computer, so I tried that and it didn't work as well. I'm stumped on what to do. Can it be replaced?

When I hover over cover flow it says I have 12851 songs but when I click nothing happens.
When I hover over artists or albums it says 'no artists/albums'.
I can upload again from my CDs but just wondering if there is anything to do. I live abroad so all my CDs are in storage.

I recently updated to iOS8.1on my iPad 1and it ran very slow. Just a few minutes ago, it shut down compoeteoy and I cannot get ANY response at all. Just a black screen. Any help pkease?

Can anyone tell me how to restart my iPad that just shut down, while I was reading a book on Overdrive? I still had plenty of battery life. I tried to reboot holding down the off button, but no response at all.

Photos that are in the cloud stay there until they are removed by a device that has the right privileges. If your iPad is logged in with the same AppleID, then doesn't it show the photos from iCloud?
You will only be on iCloud Drive if you expressly chose to upgrade.

Hi Little Orchard,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you downloading to a computer or an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch? I would first suggest signing out of the iTunes Store and restarting your computer or device. Then log in and look for your purchases again. If you are still not able to access your content the article below will get you connected with the iTunes Store Support.

HT1296 somebody can help me?, I am trying to sync my ipad but i get the following message: iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad "Fernando Velazquez Ipad" because no songs in the playlist "Purchased" can be copied to this iPad.

iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad “Fernando Velazquez Ipad” because no songs in the playlist “Purchased” can be copied to this iPad.

That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

HT2729 i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer. is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios? I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...

Hi Dennis!
I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:

I cannot sync any songs. It tells me, my computer is no longer authorized for purchased items. although it is authorized.

I cannot sync any songs. It tells me, my computer is no longer authorized for purchased items. although it is authorized.

I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone? It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync. But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
I have the latest version of itunes
Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music? How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost? How do I get it to sync?

After upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer or even off my iTunes library

after upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer, love film or even directly off my iTunes library. in each case, all i get is a black screen and no error message.

Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
or this,
Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
Please let me know if it works.

Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes. Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
