Everything on my iPod has disappeared.
I'm having some trouble with my iPod. I have recently downloaded the new software, and it was working fine until just a few days ago. I purchased a song and a window kept popping up saying it couldn't be copied to the iPod because it couldn't be played on that kind of iPod. And ever since I purchased that one song, EVERYTHING on my iPod has disappeared. But whenever I hook it up to the computer, and iTunes comes up, it acts like all my playlists and songs are still on there. As soon as I eject it, it's completely blank again.
Same problem here.....downloaded the iPod update a couple days ago. Everything seemed fine. Last night I hooked my iPod up to my buddies X-Box and it was acting very weird (iPod name came up as Audiobooks, playlists we are all gone etc etc). When I disconnected the iPod it was EMPTY!!!!! When I checked system info it said 0 songs, 0 videos.....BUT the space remaining on the iPod indicated the music was there (somewhere) as it said I have 36GB (out of 80GB) of space remaining???
When I got home I plugged my iPod into my computer iTunes recognized everything normally!!!!! BUT as soon as I disconnected from the computer my iPod was EMPTY.
I just tried updating my iTunes as suggested above - AND IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything is back up and running - what a RELIEF
BUT WHY DID THIS HAPPEN??????? - ANY IDEAS -
My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :( -
While syncing movie iPod/iTunes deletes my music and Podcasts
While syncing movie iPod/iTunes deletes my music and Podcasts. This is very frustrating becaucse I have ALL my sync settings set to Manual. What can I do to stop this? I'm about to throw my iPod against the wall!
sorry you've just been dealt a blow from Apple trying to "help" its customers. you're correct: you cannot sync only music or movies. even if "manually sync" is selected, once you sync something like moves, the rest of your library gets deleted. it's completely backwards and non-intuitive.

A not uncommon problem. See this previous discussion.

Hi guys...I have just got a new computer and want to get my library back up and running on it. However I seem to be missing some of my iTunes music purchases. Any ideas on how to get them back? They show up on my ipad but not my actual itunes account.
Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:

It seems everything else works but the darn thing just won't power down. Any ideas?????
Thanks!!!!!!
ipod 20GB Other OSAre you trying to get it to turn off without running the battery down? Have you tried reseting it?
If you're willing to wait, you could let it run down, recarge it, and see if the problem is gone. -
My Iphone 4s no longer recognised by my Sony car stereo (via usb) or by my apple friendly music dock. Any ideas?
Had started acting up just prior to IOS 8.0 then seemed ok a few days into using IOS 8.0 but now back to square one.
Have updated to IOS8.0.2 but still nothing.maybe try cleaning out the port at the bottom of your iphone by blowing it out with compressed air or maybe by using a soft brush. or maybe gently with a toothpick. but nothing metal. perhaps there's dirt or dust in there that's preventing a connection. similarly make sure the connectors on your docks and cables are clean.

it says my ipod is disabled for 22 million minutes. any ideas on how to get it unlocked without restoring it to factory settings?
By restoring from backup or waiting
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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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:

Tried installing itunes for 64 bit Windowns on my PC several times but each time soon after download starts the box disappears and nothing happens. Any ideas?
11.Once the updates are done, make sure you are booted into Windows and call Microsoft support and explain the issue (doing a clean installation with an upgrade disk.) The issue is very common and not specific to Mac users so they will pass you to Tech support and help you activate your copy of Windows.
Not always. I tried. Easier to reinstall Windows 7 over itself, activated fine. Or just do the legal thing and buy full copy. Mac Pro owners that want dual processor support need Pro or Ultimate (Enterprise also) rather than Home Premium.
I would NOT use Boot Camp 3.1, it causes problems for number of Mac Pro owners, though maybe not all so unclear what/why) but just stay with Boot Camp 3.0x from the Snow Leopard DVD (which can have trouble with AppleHFS) -
I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Any ideas?
Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there. -

Try booting into Safe Mode , if it works then you know its a software issue. If not then you will have to take it in for service.

Get the following error when trying to sync itunes to Nano itunes could not coppy " Song" to the ipod because unknown error occurred (-5000). Any ideas?
Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.
