Device Unknown, Won't Restore, IPod full but says there's no music!
I recently flattened my computer and when if was running again i installed itunes and tried to put some music on my ipod. The first time the music i put on there wouldn't play. Then the second try, after i disconnected my ipod and went to see if it worked, it said there was only 166 mb left but it said there was no music on there. Then i tried to restore but the computer says the ipod can't be restored. Please help!
Have you restored as new?
A large "other" indicates a corrupt file(s).

my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

I've got 20,000 plus photos on my HD [yes, I know, way tooo many]. I'm trying to clean up by storing them on an external HD, but for several months I've not been able to export iphoto [even geniuses can't figure out why]. So as a work around, I'm trying to export events and albums to external. However, I realized that I didn't export in the original format making the files too small. Now, I just want to restore my iphoto library to the date before I started this process and when I try to restore from Time Machine, it comes up with an error message that I don't have enough room on my HD. Any ideas out there? [The reason I want to restore is because I started to delete some of the iphoto files from my HD to clean it up and I want to get back to the original format for export].
In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum. -
ipod touch disabled after too many tries with password. tried to restore through itunes but says we need latest version of software. now what?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

I have songs on my iPod Touch that I want to transfer to my music library. I can "see" my songs in the library under the iPod tab, but not in my general music library.
I purchased a new computer and I am trying to find the easiest way to transfer all my files over.

1) From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
2) If you do not have access to the iTunes Library on your Old computer... or its Backup...

Syncing to a New Computer...

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there. At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help!- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes. -
When i try to sync my old ipod touch. it says theres a error. so i update it and reset it and stuff but it still doesnt work. what should i do?
Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:

To transfer iTunes purchases:

- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

When Ipod is connected to Itunes, music that is used to have is listed, but, when disconnected, the ipod appears as if there is no music. Hasn't happened to the movies. Anyone have any ideas?
Since you did not mentioned about sync issues or problem, error messages.
You have to Sync the iTunes library with your iPod.
Refer to this tutorial, on syncing iPod
Have a nice day! -
I recently charged/synched my 160 GB ipod classic - I may have disconnected it before it was ready. Now the ipod says there is not music/playlists on the ipod - when I had used up over half the space previously. I think the music is still on the ipod because it indicated something listed as "other" is taking up the same space the music used to take up. How do I get the ipod to go back to recognizing the music?
Other is corrupt files, probably caused when you disconnected. Connect the iPod to iTunes and use the Restore button on the Device/Summary pane. This will remove everything and then re-load the iPod with the contents of your Library.

IPad iPod app says there is no music... OS 4.3.3.
Have the original iPad-- iPod app says there is no music, but there are 918 songs sync'd and loaded. Have updated to OS4.3.3. Any advice/troubleshooting tips?
It's happened to me a couple of times, and I've 'fixed' it be removing any song via iTunes and then copying it back onto the iPad. An alternative (though I didn't try it when it happened to me) is have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPod Classic says there is No Music; no difference in Memory
I have an iPod Classic that I got in 2007. It's been working fine except today it says there is no music in it. However it shows no difference in the memory that's being used. For some reason, the documents in the memory's being read as "Other" instead of "Audio."
This is quite distressing as I'm sure many of you can sympathize. Please help me out.I just bought one of the new Macbook Pros on Friday. I was using a White 13" Macbook until the logic board decided to go out about a week ago. I thought that I might as well get a new computer instead of putting in a new board so I got one of the new 15" intel core i5 pros. My iPod is a silver 160 gb that was previously synced to the white mb.
Upon the first connection to the new mbpro, iTunes started freaking out and wouldn't respond and I had to force quit iTunes. I ejected my iPod from the computer (correctly) and then noticed that iTunes was still acting weird after reopening. I looked at my iPod and realized that there was no music on my iPod. I then checked the "about" section of my iPod to find that the hd still had 92 gb used but categorized as other.
Now, I cannot figure out how to get my music back and why iTunes continues to freeze every time I connect my iPod. Please help!!! (I was slightly frustrated about the logic board but these recent problems occurring after dropping over $2100 on the new mbpro are really irritating me) -
I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required??? I checked when last auto update was done which was 01/07/12 I also tried downloading from web iTunes version 11.1.5 but it wont load because I don't have min version 10.6.8. What can I do to sort this out? Note: I am a not computer savy so be easy on me.
If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!
