Didn't sync - lost music - how can I get my music /playlists to show on ipod?
my ipod had music and playlists - I disconnected without syncing and music is gone. Ipod says no music but i know it's still in there because it's using storage and I can see my music when I go in to view as USB
Well in the end you'll have to restore your iPod either way.
If you want to be able to copy everything from the iPod to your PC first before the restore process, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

i have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases -
I have an old Ipod 5th gen that I have been using for downloading music from my library. Upon purchasing an Ipod touch and registering it in Itunes, I can no longer sync tunes to my old ipod. How can I get that option back on my old ipod?

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?
Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :( -
16Gb of music...i have 2 GB space...when I sync...how can I get only the music I want...aka playlists I want...
You must configure to sync only the specific items you want on your iPod by enabling the necessary settings from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs. Perhaps this article can provide more information and assistance.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Shouldn't be difficult but can help if you tell us what options you picked on how you want to sync your music as there is more than on option/way.

Hello, I have changed my location and credit card for my apple id. All purchased apps I had before are lost. How can I get back my purchased apps? Thanks.
If you are referring to an iDevice, sign out of your new Apple ID and sign back in with your old one - they should all be there.

How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud?
How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud? The RSS feeds now show up just fine on my iMac.
On my iMac the appear in a category at the same level as In Box, Sent, etc. However the term RSS is in lighter grey like Mailboxes, On My Mac, Reminders. I use Snow Leopard 10.7.5. Any help will be appreciated as I'd like to read the feeds on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5 when I'm away from home.
Thank you.This is helpful, but how do you get both devices to communicate to this single calendar via the iCloud?...
You did not mention that it must be through iCloud. But then, it can't really do so if you want to maintain separate Apple IDs.
So you just set up an additional calendar on your devices.
iPads, iPhone, Macs can show multiple calendars simultaneously. I have my work calendar and several personal calendars all showing simultaneously on my iPad, Mac Mini and Macbook Pro. In the case of my client, they didn't need multiple calendars. They just were going to use the one shared calendar. But I did setup the shared Google calendar and separate personal caldendars on their iPhones. (e.g.: Husband's iPhone = husband's personal Mac Cal + shared Google Calendar. Wife's iPhone = wife's personal Outlook for Windows Cal + shared Google Calendar.) -
I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?
You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device -
I have a purchased version of Chess (from Apple) on my old iPod. Today I got a new Gen. 5 iPod. HOW can I get the chess app onto the new iPod, or do I have to purchase it again?

i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up
first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?This web page will help you: http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?
The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.
