Corrupted Music storage

My iPod Touch 5th gen (64GB) is about 2 years old now and I'm having problems with music storage. I think its probably due to the usual wear and tear, but anyways, my issue is that when I try to adds songs onto my iPod to my existing songs on it (Like I have 4700 songs onto it and I'm adding an additional 12 tracks), the existing songs disappear on my iPod and it shows up as Others in the storage on iTunes. I've ran diagnostics and factory reset my device on several occasions and the problems constantly reappears. What else can I do?
Thanks in advance for reading my post.
Also, when I go to Manage Storage in the settings, none of the missing storage for my songs shows up.

- Try another cable.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try another USB port

  • Going from xp to windows 7 64 bit using an external drive for music storage

    Greetings Techies!
    I hope you all are well.
    I need to move my iTunes from an XP machine to Windows 7 64 bit. On the XP machine I am using an external drive for music storage and the iTunes database is stored on the internal drive. I am looking for advice on how to transfer all of this over to my new Windows 7 64 bit machine. I know iTunes can be picky about everything and I don’t want to take and chances and loose my playlists or music.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Blessings,
    paul

    You are right about it being picky. I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and was forced to format my drive. I had all the music backed up, but when I imported it, I have 2 or 3 copies of some songs, art work missing, and have lost my playlists. I hope someone responds to your question, because I could use similar help! Best of luck to ya . . .

  • Increasing Music Storage Setting?

    Hi, I've had my nano for about 6 months or so... it's a 1gb one. I was wondering if you can increase the settings of the music storage settings since you can only utilize 217Mb... 892.5Mb free space. I would like to use the free space with songs/mp3s but it is reserved for videos/photos/etc...???
    Any suggestions?

    You are aware that an iPod (in fact any hard drive) does not have the full amount of storage space available?
    As a rough guide it's about 7% less.
    The OS accounts for a few mbs of storage space.
    It's the way that storage space is calculated by manufacturers, and the way that computers read it differently.
    Read this. Although it refers to hard drives (and the nano has flash memory), the calculations are the same, and that accounts for the so called "missing space".
    iPod: About the hard disk size.
    Hard disk: Is it missing space?

  • Music storage

    Hi there, 
    My music is being stored on my SD card, which is now full. How do I change music storage to be on the phone?
    Thanks.

    Normally,music downloaded is stored in internal memory.There could be apps that let you store on SD,but I doubt it on kitkat.

  • Corrupted music files and won't play on external speaker

    My new Touch is starting more and more to corrupt some of the music files with pops and jitters and silence. It will also occasionally go into a mode where it will not play on internal speaker. It has no volume bar either. I have to reset all settings to get it back working. I noticed this started after connecting to a blue tooth system in my car. (Ford's Sync system) I don't know if the IPod is going bad or if the bluetooth connection caused problems. I won't do that again! Ford's Sync acted unhappy too. Any suggestions are really appreciated.

    Note that the corrupted music is now when I am listening to head phones not on the Ford Sync. Looks like others are having trouble with Ford Sync?

    Thanks for your reply. Any suggestions for ways to fix this? If I've already updated using my phone, am I just screwed?

  • Recover lost deleted corrupted music files tracks from iTunes match icloud

    Just spent an hour on Apple's tech suypport line, all to figure out how to recover lost/deleted/corrupted music files/tracks from iCloud / iTunes Match.  Here's how to do it:
    ASSUMPTIONS:  You're in iTunes on your computer, logged into your iCloud account.
    Within iTunes, in the left-hand pane, select your Music library.  Alll your tracks should appear in the right-hand pane.   Those that are missing from your disk should be marked with an asterisk icon to the left of the track.    Do the following...
    ...select all the missing/lost/deleted tracks (using the option button), and hit the delete button.
    NOTE:  when the delete dialog box comes up, make sure you do ***NOT*** click the "Delete from iCloud" selection!!!
    ...once deleted, select all the same tracks again, then hit the right mouse button, then select "Download".
    All the tracks should start downloading, one by one, from iCloud.
    NOTE:  If I were you, I'd perform this operation on discrete chunks (no more than 500 at a time), just to be safe.
    Good luck!

    You can also recover the missing tracks from the backup you are keeping on an external HDD. You are backing up, aren't you?

    give it a try. see if that helps you.

  • HT203200 Corrupted music files

    It's the first time I've ever experienced problems (that I know of) with corrupted music files from iTunes. I have three incomplete music files that were downloaded. What do I do to get these corrupted files replaced with complete files?

    Thanks for replying so quickly Winston,
    However, I can't find where I can 're-download' these songs. According to the purchased window for the selected album, these files were 'downloaded' and there doesn't appear to be an option for me to use to re-download.

  • Photo and Music storage on External HDD attached to Time Capsule

    My MacBook is out of space, and like most people, it is full of music and photos.  I have a Time Capsule for backups but I also have a 1TB HDD attached to the USB of the Time Capsule.  I would love to make that HDD the source for all photos and music so any of my macs can use this source location.
    In essence, I want to use the HDD attached to the Time Capsule to serve as the lone storage source for all my photos and music, and have any of my macs seek these files when iTunes or iPhoto is opened on any machine.
    Can I do this?  If not, any ideas?  I am trying to avoid requiring a HDD plugged into my laptop all the time.  It kind of defeats the purpose of "laptop" in my mind.  I also switch computers frequently and want to use all the same source files.
    Thanks!!

    Can I do this
    Yes, but I guess I'm wondering how you will backup the important data on that drive attached to the Time Capsule. Time Machine cannot do this, so you would have to add yet another drive and manually backup the files or use another commercial application that can backup from a network drive to another network drive.
    The better plan might be to add an external USB or FireWire drive attached to a Mac and move all the media there. Then, Time Machine will backup both the Mac and the attached hard drive.
    The experts in the iPhoto forum strongly advise against moving your iPhoto library to the Time Capsule or another network drive attached to the USB port on the TIme Capsule.....especially if you are using wireless.  Any disruption when iPhoto is writing to the library can create corruption issues that will likely damage the entire library.
    Suggest that you post over in the iPhoto support area to ask the same question. But, be prepared for a lecture if iPhoto guru Terence Devlin answers your post.

    Instructions for moving the iTunes library are available in the link below. I've tried this and found that access to the files on the network drive is s-l-o-w.  Not the ideal solution by any means, unless you like waiting.  And, you'll still have to figure out how to backup these files.

  • Invisible corrupted music files / progressive problem

    I just discovered I have a growing corruption problem in iTunes. It seems to be affecting only songs which I have created myself from my own commercial CDs. Sons acquired over the internet are not affected.
    All of my songs show up in the master list on iTunes. I am syncing to a 1st generation 4gig Nano. I am at the capacity limit or within 25 mgs below the limit. I recently realized that I wasn't listening to some of my music & I thought that was odd. I then discovered that the songs are invisible & cannot be accessed on the Nano.
    I removed the songs from iTunes & trashed the files. I tried to recreate the songs again from the original comercial CD. I again found out I could not sync them to the Nano. The message I recieved was that the songs in selected playlists could not be added because they exceeded the storage amount on the Nano. iTunes indicated the total storage amount on the Library was at 3.75mgs at this point.
    I found that if I deleted them again & synced, I could. So far so good.
    Now I have found that even after going through the ENTIRE library and trashing every single file that appeared in the library but did not show up on my Nano, this problem is a progressive problem & is converting what I thought to be safe files into corrupted files.
    What can I do about this? I am now spending 1 hr each time I want to sync & is becoming a night mare.
    I also considered trashing iTunes & reinstalling, but I
    a) cannot find the root application on the HD
    b) cannot find the original iTunes older (not 7.02) application anywhere.

    Have you done the '5 R's' to your Nano? http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    FYI - the Nano will not actually hold 4 gig - it will be a little less - but you knew that.
    All tunes on the Nano/iPod are 'invisible' by default when viewed via the Finder. You can view the files by using a program that will show you invisible files such as TinkerTool.
    Your iTunes app should be in the Applications folder. If not then do a Spotlight search of your HD.
    To find older versions of iTunes go here http://www.oldapps.com/downloadiTunesmac.php
    You will need to remove from the HD>Library>Receipts>iTunesX.pkg - move the iTunesX.pkg to the trash along with the iTunes app.

  • Help: Corrupted music after restoring backup

    Hello. I have a 4th generation iPod touch. Today I made a backup before an attempt to sync my iPod to my computer, but I accidentally synced my computer to my iPod. I restored the backup and proceeded to go test my music to find that as soon as I opened my library it would skip around to random songs and the songs wouldn't play. I went into my iTunes and went to "On This iPod" and then to music to find that the iPod was apparently empty, yet the songs appear to be there in the library on the device. I've tested several apps and they appear to be functioning perfectly. I've read that the music files may be corrupted and that deleting them and re-downloading them from the store worked but when I go to the "Songs" list in-app I don't have enough time to slide and delete a song before it moves up or down the list to compensate for the song changing. This happens in my albums and playlists too. I've tried restoring my backup again with no change. Thanks in advance.
    Edit: Rebooted the device to no effect.

    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/delete all music and resync
    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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • IPad 2 music does not play and high resolution pictures get corrupted when syncing through iTunes on 64 bit Win 7.  Anyone else have a problem with iTunes corrupting music and pictures from 64bit machine?

    Works from a 32 bit XP machine.  Does not work from a 64bit Win 7 machine.  It's 64 bit that seems to be the issue; the music won't start playing, and for pictures, it's when they're more than 768x1024 resolution that they appear very low resolution and/or corrupt.  None of the normal tricks work (different user account; different USB port; different USB hub controller) and the problem is replicable.  The music and JPEG and PNGs, however, are fine if transferred via a Windows network to a 32 bit machine ie it's not the music/image files.

    Dear Katrina, the problem has finally been solved, with the help of a computer-savvy friend of mine who came round this afternoon. As a courtesy, and to thank you for all your help in this matter, I want to share the solution with you.
    A piece of the puzzle was missing, as you said, and it lay in the tenth line of the XML document I relayed to you....
    <key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/C:/Users/Simon/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Media/</string>
    My friend spotted that the command string contained a sub-folder of the iTunes folder called "iTunes Media". iTunes was expecting to find all my music there, but that folder didn't exist.
    So I created a new folder called "iTunes Media", and moved all my musical content into it, leaving all the command files in the original iTunes folder.
    Then I moved the "iTunes Media" folder into the "iTunes" folder, so that it was a sub-folder of the latter.
    Then I re-opened iTunes and - joy of joys! - everything works once again. I am re-united with all of my music, and without having to make over 14,000 manual location exercises. I can't tell you how exciting that is.
    The mystery is solved, and what had me so puzzled seems obvious now. Thanks again for your help. Without you I might never have got to this point.

  • What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photos, videos and music storage?

    Hello friends!!
    What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photo, music and videos storage?
    Thank U!!

    My personal preference is for the OW, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro quad-interface drive...have four of them of the 2 TB size and they are very good performers.  The quad-interface allows you a choice of ways to connect, eSata, Firewire 800/400, USB which is very convenient.  OWC is a Mac specialist so everything has been tested and guaranteed to be Mac compatible.
