Date modified for random songs and videos continuously changes

Using iTunes Match and iMac, MacBook Pro, iPhone 5 and iPod 2 - random songs and videos have modification dates reset; I used to be able to find newest added files by sorting by modification date and now it is entirely random. Also, I got 40 plus copies of two random CDs on MacBook Pro, as though Match just keeps Matching and adding the same tracks.

I have the same problem. Mac OS 10.5.3. Intel iMAC core duo. When I upgraded to iTunes 7.6.2 all of my playlists went grey. Both Music and Movie Playlists.
I installed the latest version of quicktime which did not fix the video playlist greyed out issue as noted in other areas of the support forums.

IPod touch suddenly fast forwarding through songs and videos + voice control screen cutting in

Hi
In the last couple of days, it has started fast forwarding through songs and videos randomly. The voice control screen is also cutting in randomly. It happens as soon as I turn it on and play my first track or video. The only other problem I have noticed is that the volume controls on my headphones are no longer working. The headphones would be less than 6 months old and are genuine Apple ones. I don't think the problem is related because if I unplug them the fast forwarding still happens. I've tried powering it off and then re-starting it and I have been keeping the software up to date on it so I'm not sure what else I can try.
In saying that, this morning it seems to be working properly but I'm worried the problem will return. I still can't adjust the volume via the headphones though.
If anyone has any ideas about what I can do to resolve the fast forwarding problem, I would appreciate the feedback. The headphones I don't really care about because I can replace them.
I've had my iPod touch for a few years and use it pretty heavily so part of me is wondering whether it is just getting to the end of its life. I'm not sure what sort of lifespan I can expect from my iPod touch.
Thanks

Try:
- Try a regular pair of headphones
- 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.
- 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

All my songs and videos gone after app transfer to my laptop (iOS 5.0)

All my songs (about 1800 songs/12GB) and videos (10gb) have disappeared while two of my apps, Asphalt 6 and Real Racing 2 were being transferred from my iPod to my laptop. I guess they were being transferred since they have been updated and I haven't synced my ipod into my laptop for a while. But today while it was trasferring, it said that I'm running out of storage continuously and later on I saw that the transfer was done, but my songs and videos were gone! And my last backup was like when the iOS first came out, so it would mean nothing to restore from backup right now.
I can see all of the songs and videos that were on the iPod still on iTunes, but when i click on them, it shows the exclamation mark which means that they have been disappeared or something... Any help please?

The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes or files of any kind you've added to the iPod whilst using it as a hard disk or album artwork. Or sometimes when the iPod data base has become corrupt.
There will always be a few MBs of used space under "other" but if it's in GBs it's unusually large. This often happens when the iPod data base becomes corrupt.
If the iPod is enabled for disk use, you can look at the folders on the iPod through Explorer or Finder (on a Mac) and delete anything you don't want.
If it's a corruption of the iPod database (as seems likely here) it will probably need to be restored, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.
Then reload the music from iTunes.

Why do some songs and videos stop playing or freeze while playing?

I have an 80 gig iPod classic that I never had problems with until now. I started noticing songs and videos I bought from iTunes aren't working. They will play for 30 seconds, stop, and go to the next song. I called iTunes, and they told me to use the online support but it hasn't helped me. Every time I go on there, it just tells me to call again. I've also tried to restore my iPod and it didn't work, so I'm wondering if anyone else has found and alternate way to fix it.

I have a similar problem. My IPod 5 and 3Gen will stop playing songs about halfway through. The timer indicates its playing but no music. When I've checked these songs on in ITunes they pay fine and completely. I've tried removing them from ITunes and downloading again but with no success. This seems to be random and as I have over 2K worth of songs its difficult for me to determin where the problem is. One of the reasons I purchased the IPod 5 was hopes to eliminate this problem. Any ideas on what other things I can do to solve this problem?

1st Gen iPhone - ALL songs and videos no longer there. POOF! No sync.

I have not listened to music or watched videos on my 1st gen iPhone in about 2 months. Little did I know, ALL the songs and ALL the videos have disappeared. Gone Poof. I have not synced in a couple of months so it wasn't a result of a new OS. Maybe it's just getting old but has this happened to anyone else? I don't know where they went or when it happened. Gremlins? I am now afraid to reload/sync for fear I will lose pix and contacts. Just want to know if this spontaneously happened to anyone else???

Hey Larry,
I went ahead and did a "restore" and everything was back to normal. It did take a while, though, as it wiped out then re-copied over 7Gigs of data to the phone. It was a hassle, but all is OK. I'm still concerned, though. I also spoke with a Genius at the Apple store who had never seen this, and thought it was a problem with the "file type" in iTunes, but i checked and movies were still "movie" filetype. He suggested MANUALLY checking/adjusting every file, but that is rediculous and there were hundreds of songs and videos!! Anywho, on my iPhone the date outside of the iPod items (music, videos, podcasts, etc.) was not effected, and all is back to normal after a lengthy "restore." Still looking for a "why" on this one...

When you try to power off with the top button, do you get the "Slide to Power Off" bar? And do you slide it? If it powers back on immediately after doing that, since you have already done a reset, then restore is the next step. You can restore from a backup, or if that doesn't fix it, restore as a new device. Remember restoring as a new device will delete all content from the phone, so make sure you have synced everything.

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Plug your iPod into your computer and resync your songs back on.

Getting songs and videos back I've already purchased

I have the 2nd generation iPod touch. I just upgraded my old software 3.1.1 to the new 4.1 software. It took about 5 hours to back up my iPod do all this other stuff. Apparently it restored it to factory settings so I lost all my videos and songs. I can get most or my songs and videos back but, what if I bought them with my iPod and didn't transfer the purchases to my computer? Where can I go to recover those? Because that's a lot of money I spent. Please help me and give me any suggestions that could maybe help me. I'm really stuck right now.

so i updated my ipod and it took 3 hrs and this morning i see it didnt save any of my songs i recently purchased and songs i had for years. wat can i do to get them all back?

I downloaded a new version of Itunes on my PC now some songs and videos have stopped working as well as ringtones have disappeared.

I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

Sync with vista doubles up some songs and video

when I sync my iphone 5 to my vista computer it makes copies of some of the song and videos even if i dellete on phone and computer they come back on next sync why?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

How Do I Arrange Songs and Videos Manually?

Hi. How do you arrange songs and videos manually? Can you just click, hold it and put it where you want it on the Song or Video the pane where it's displayed?
Thank you in advance.
Gbu.

The tip below can also be use straight off in iTunes.
First you create a playlist (not Smart Playlist).
Drag in a couple of songs/videos you want for your devices into the list.
Select your playlist under PLAYLISTS on the iTunes left panel.
Click the top left column above the 1,2,3..., it is the column left of Name. (You will see ascending or descending arrow head)
Arrange the list content the way you want it by dragging the songs/video in the list up or down.
Select your device under DEVICE on the left panel in iTunes.
Select Music tab and make sure your new playlist is included for Syncing
Sync.

HT201304 I brought a $15 iTunes card, on 12-1-13 in the afternoon hours. I brought some songs and video's. I did not get 2 of the video's I brought, I was charged the $2.58. How do I get my video's.

I brought a $15.00 iTunes card on 12-1-13, I brought songs and videos. iTunes did not give me two of the videos, I brought. The $2.58 was taken off the card. The video's were (willow smith)-whip my hair and (soulja boy)-crank dat.
I just want the 2 video's I brought, thank you.

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:
