Changed Compilation status and now, after syncing, iPod is missing music

Frustrated with not being able to view all the Artists on my iPod, this past weekend I removed the "Part of a Compilation" info from most of my compilation-classified albums. I then synced my iPod. It didn't take very long and I guess I found that odd, but I just assumed all the music was still on my iPod and didn't bother to check.
Today, I find that while all the music I changed the info on remains on iTunes, it's missing from my iPod and won't sync.
Is there something I need to change on my library to get the iPod to load these missing songs? They were on it before, albeit as part of a compilation.

Please dont chuck it out of the window, it might land on some poor elves.
Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem but help in troubleshooting.

Moved iTunes library to Go Drive and now cannot sync iPod

My hard drive was full so I moved all my music and photos to an external drive. I configured iTunes so it sees the library on the new drive but now it doesn't see my iPod when I plug it in to sync it.

I moved all my music and photos to an external drive.
You used teh menu Advanced Consolidate, correct?
If you didn't iTunes won't see your music, even if you point it there.
You will need to File -> Add folder to library and select the music on the external drive.
but now it doesn't see my iPod when I plug it in to sync it.
See this -> Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Updated iTunes software & ITunes Updater and now cannot sync iPod

I was requested to update my iTunes software and install the iTunes updater, which I accomplished. Now when I go to sync up my iPod I get the following error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to be closed, We are sorry for the inconvenience" It will not allow iTunes to remain open or sync with my iPod. It didn't happen prior to installing the updater. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

HT1329 Why do we bother with ipod?? I had to change my computer and now my library containing my own music AND ipod purchased music is all dissagrregated. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

Apple, you HAVE to get a little more customer friendly about the music we buy. We also have our own music and when we download it guess where it goes? into my Apple library. PS That's mine. To make our life difficult your protocols will not allow me to simply "move" my ENTIRE itunes library to my new computer. Why the heck not?? Explanation please. And not because there are other steps you created. Why do you not ALLOW it? Want me to repurchase or reload music I already put on there? Geeezzz.
PS the result.............I havent been able to buy nor am I now inclined to buy more music because....I cant. Good thing I put some good good playlists on my IPOD because it seems its now a portable CD.
Not Happy.

Can't tell you exactly, as it can be used to facilitate piracy and Apple blocks this sort of thing from occuring (except for itunes purchased music)
But you can find out what your looking for at iLounge, i'd suggest that method for "mixed" music from different sources, that way you get it all back.
Next time, hit the iTunes menu and backup your library to disks, only takes a few minutes and a few DVD-R's.
Good Luck

After syncing iPod says no music

Hi, hope you can help.. I have tried syncing my ipod classic with my lovely new iMac, and although it all appears to have synced (on computer screen), on my ipod it does say that 80gb have been used up (size of music library), but it comes under 'Other' and not music or podcasts and cannot see the content at all. I have tried this three times now, and made sure all software is updated to no avail.. Hope somebody can help before I chuck my ipod out of the window!!!!

HT1386 i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"?

i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"? so i dont know what to do cause i just want to sync my music from itunes to my iphone 4s

I had the same problem and the fix was so easy that I felt a little silly after spending 2 hours with an Apple Technician. At the end of it all, what I had to do was make sure ALL music was deleted from my iPhone 5 by going into usage and clearing out the music folder. All I had to do then was turn my phone off and turn it back on again. I had not done this after my phone upgraded to the new 7.0 IOS. What's the first thing you do when experiencing computer problems? Reboot! It fixed my problem and now my iPhone 5 synchs perfectly when I had it connected to my computer. I am also on iTunes version 11.1.

I synced my ipod to my laptop and now I can't find my music on my ipod it's all gone and some of the songs I purchased thru itunes

I synced my ipod to my laptop and now I can't find my music help. I called the support but was told that that help expired. I did not even know I had that offered to me HELP!!!!

BTW, did you sync to the laptop before? Yu can only sync to one iTunes library. If you sync to to another library the iPod will be eerased and it contents replace with what is in the iTunes library on the computer.

My pc was stolen and now i want to transfer the music from the ipod touch to the new computer, but sync only allows the other way. How can i do that? I need to back up the music!

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
