It would appear that the iPod hard drive or iPod software has become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes.

Songs wiped out but same amount of memory

So,
Last night I plugged my iPod mini into another computer so we could listen to some music. Everything was fine, but when I tried to listen to music later on (iPod was unplugged from computer) all the songs were gone. The odd thing was that I still have the same amount of memory, like the songs are still there. When I plugged the iPod into my computer, I receive a message that states that my iTunes can´t read the information on the iPod and I need new software. I should state that the other computer had iTunes software which allowed it to play videos, so it must have been a lot newer version than what I have. Is there any way to save the songs without downloading new software? I am in Brazil doing research and really need my music. Thank you for any help anyone is able to give.

Whats most likly happened is the database on the ipod got corrupt. you can read this artical at yamipod.com and use there software to try and rebuild it since your not home where your PC with the music is http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/docs/help/corruptedipod.php
Now if you have access to a PC in brazil with all or atleast most of your music that was on the ipod, Id recommend using that PC to restore the ipod then use iTunes to load it back up

Ipod totally wiped out but still has the name I named it

My sister plugged in her iPod onto the G4 kast night and this morning all the music has gone. It still had its name that i gave it and so i thought maybe it'd be okay. But the About bit says it has 36GB free so i guess not!! I read an article saying that the new iTunes deleted mp3s randomly. I had better back up mine now. Has this every happened to anyone? And is there a way of getting the music from the iPod back?
Thank you!!

Unless the songs are still on your iPod (check, scroll through the artists/playlists etc and see if any are there) or backed up somewhere, you're out of luck.
I read an article somewhere a while ago about a program that can 'recover' lost files on iPods and hard disks, however I can't remember what it was called! Bummer!

PLEASE HELP! Songs showing up, but missing? HELP!

Yes, I know I've already posted this in another category. I'm not spamming to get answers, I just realized it was in the wrong category (the one I already posted).
So.....here's my problem.
I accidentally unplugged my iPod without hitting the "Eject" button first, and now my iPod's acting strange. Which I don't get; I've done that several times before (on accident, obviously), and they never got screwed up like this.
All my songs, playlists, etc. are showing up, but when I hit Play, they don't work. The play icon appears in the upper left hand corner, but nothing happens with the song. My headphones are plugged in all the way (although, they are pretty worn down), and the iPod's not frozen. It just says its playing, but the song doesn't play or progress (the timeline stays on 0 seconds).
But...I can still pause it, adjust the volume, rate it, look at the menu, play games, all that. So its obviously not frozen.....
And, when I put new songs on there, they worked fine, so did my photos! So, were my old songs erased somehow, but still showing up? sigh Normally I would just put the old songs on the iPod again, but....I'm on vacation. Three hours away from home. I've reset it more times than you can imagine. It didn't work.
HELP! Is there any way to restore the songs....without driving three hours first?
(EDIT: OH **** IT. I POSTED IN THE WRONG CATEGORY AGAIN. GAY COMPUTER.)

I had the same problem - but could be caused by different issues. My issue was that more than one person was logged into the computer when the Nano was connected. For some reason it then mounted as a physical drive which could be seen by the other user (the iTunes preference was set to NOT mount as a drive). The issue is serious because the second time this happened it froze the entire machine. Anyway, I have found that only the "owner" of the Nano should be logged in when it is connected and it should behave properly.
If this isn't your issue, then try just closing iTunes - the "Do Not Disconnect" sign should turn off. If not, then log out and turn off the computer. You will not lose any files on the Nano.
Cheers

My iPhone shows 1.0GB of memory used by Mail. I've emptied all mailboxes and folders but still show 1.0 GB

After upgrading to iOS7, I noted my iPhone 5 shows 1.0GB for Mail in the Usage list. I've cleaned out all mailboxes and folders but still show the Mail app as using 1.0 GB. Am I missing something?

From another thread -
Deleting mail from backup
In any case, I'm posting this to help others. I can't say with certainty what fixed this for me, but my hunch is that deleting (and then re-adding) the iCloud account on BOTH my iPhone and iPad had something to do with it. Or maybe it was launching/syncing via Mail.app, and/or giving it some time. Or maybe those prayers had something to do with it after all.
The funniest part about all of this is that my whole iPhone backup (with small Camera Roll) takes up 3.6 GB and my whole iPad backup (with even smaller Camera Roll) takes up 1.4 GB... so I'm still right up against that 5 GB quota, and will still end up paying $20/year for the extra 10 GB of space anyway. If only for elbow room, and if only for peace of mind.
So there ya have it.

Since installing yosemite my computer/screen blacks out, but still running

Since installing yosemite last week, my computer/screen blacks out, but still running. I have since rebooted everything, started from scratch and utilizing my external drive transferred all files/apps back. Did not help, in fact it is getting worse. Computer screen blacks out every 5 min or so and have to power up again. Also, continue to get Java message updates even after all have been updated over and over again. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

TS3999 I followed all of these instructions, but still iCloud Calendar will not sync to Outlook Calendar. Calendar entries will sync from Outlook to iCloud, but not vice versa. What do I do now?.

HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks roy

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

So you are saying that you followed all of the steps in the support document for problems with connection, including removing and reinstalling iTunes? You do not say what you have tried, so it is hard to make recommendations. If this is the case, then you have tried resolving driver issues? What if you go to Device Manager and look for the iPhone. You should be able to click on it and see about drivers. You can update/reinstall the device driver.

Shuffle iPod-songs wiped out...PLEASE ADVISE/HELP

Hi,
I have an iPod Shuffle which contained numerous songs. I was going to update it and apparently hit something that wiped out all of my songs. Is there any way to get them to come back up and replace them in my iPod or am I just out of luck and have to buy new songs? The songs are listed in my purchase history.
Thanks in advance for your help and speedy response as I am lost w/out it when I jog!

I was going to update it and apparently hit something that wiped out all of my songs.
If the songs are no longer on your iPod or your computer, your options are limited.
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

ITunes is erased all my songs are gone but still on my ipod

I tried to re-install iTunes but if i do my iPod will be formated and all songs erased. I hope I can find a way to re-install iTunes and transfer my songs from my iPod back to iTunes. I have an iPod mini 4 GB with about 700 songs. Please help me, any info will be much appriciated.

If you are accessing an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app and syncing contacts over the air with your Exchange account on your iPhone, you are not syncing contacts direct with Outlook on your computer with your iPhone. Your iPhone is syncing contacts over the air with your contacts on the Exchange server. If you are accessing your Exchange account with Outlook on your computer, your Outlook contacts are being synced with the Exchange server, not direct with your iPhone.
Try turning contacts off for over the air syncing with your Exchange account on your iPhone followed by turning contacts back on for over the air syncing.

Help -Numbers update wiped out spreadsheets/templates

MacBook Pro OSx 10.8.5 Update of iWorks 09 - Numbers wiped out all my templates/spreadsheets.
The only ones shown are apples......where are mine? Need that data. Does anyone know where it went?
Or more importantly, how do I get them back?
Help Please. Thank you
If Im in the wrong place, I'm sorry. Not sure what the difference is. Appleworks vs iWorks
I thought Appleworks name was changed to iWorks. Used Appleworks for years but when bought this
computer, had to buy new "works" because other was so old. ??

Barry,
Thank you for your response.
I haven't upgraded to Mavericks. Reading forums, it seems there are a lot of
problems people are having and features that have changed that aren't popular
with long time "Macs".
I was having problems with Java after updating to Safari 6.1, and eventually,
uninstalled and reinstalled OSX 10.8.5 to get back to Safari 6.0.5. I'm not
positive where I got the upgrade from but if I recall correctly, Software Update
said I needed to update.....so I did. However, I don't remember if it was before
or after reinstalling my OS. ?? If it was before, my templates wouldn't have still
been in the trash because I usually empty it daily.
My "Numbers" is v 2.3. It looks completely different than it did the last time I'd
used it. The "Pages" in my iWorks '09 folder is v 4.3 and Keynote is v 5.3.
If that helps you figure out where it came from and why things disappeared.
I did find my templates, but not where you said they'd be. Fortunately, after
reinstalling OS 10.8.5, I found a lot of files in my trash. Not knowing what they
all were, little voices were warning me, so I didn't empty it -- just in case
something was there that shouldn't be. Too many problems lately to trust
anything. Last night I went thru all those files. Most were things I couldn't
understand when I attempted to open them. However, I did find a "Numbers"
Folder. WIthin it was a "Templates" folder and within that was another..
"My Templates". When removed that from the trash, those opened and were
what I'd lost -- or would have if I'd just emptied my trash.
I also found among those files:
A "Calendar" folder that had everything that was on my Calendar but had
also disappeared;
A "Safari" folder that had all my bookmarks, et el.
A couple "Turbox Tax" folders for years past. I just pulled them out but haven't
tried to open everything to see what's there. I didn't think any of my Turbo Tax
should have been removed.
A "Mail" folder with, among other things, another folder within it called "V2".
Inside that were several other folders. One contained a lot of mail I'd downloaded
but hadn't moved out of "Mail" in a folder called "POP-(old email address)".
Also were Logs, Keychains, Crash reports and something called
"Saved Application State".
I tried to find the same folders in my present "Library". If I was able to find them,
they didn't have my old data. Afraid to delete the above Folders, I saved them.
I may not be able to get everything back to where it was, but at least I'll have it.
When I uninstalled and reinstalled OSX 10.8.5, it took over 12 hrs!
I couldn't believe it was actually taking that long. I don't know if that's normal or not.
I'd found the instructions for doing this in a blog......somewhere. Again, having the
problem with Java not working or being recognized as being present, and after days
going thru Apple's Community forums, everything I could find on Java's website
& Pogo's website, I finallyGoogled it. I found lots of other people were having the
same, or different problems since upgrading to Safari 6.1. Someone had posted
instructions on how to go about getting Safari 6.0.5 back. Starting up while holding
the "Command" and "R" keys, selecting to reinstall the OS and being taken to
the Apple App Store to download from there. One person did say it took a long time
but I had no idea their "long time" was going to be 12 hours!
Unfortunately, I'd just received Time Capsule but hadn't set it up and copied my
entire System and everything on it yet -- so it wasn't properly backed up.
The external drive I'd used before, rewrote files every time I backed up.
I was losing things so I quit using it.
I'd never experienced anything like this before and don't know if this was
suppose to happen or not after using the "Command" & "R" keys starting up.
No one called it a "clean system install" so I wasn't expecting it. Infact, they
only said to be sure to back-up your bookmarks, passwords & contacts. I'd
reset Safari, trying to solve the Java problem, so those had already been
wiped out-- or so I thought. Judging just from the number of Bookmarks found
in the trash, I think they may all be there.
I guess the bottomline here is.......don't empty your "Trash" after upgrading
anything until you know things aren't being trashed that you want.
If this wasn't suppose to happen, it's a bug that needs to fixed.
Thanks again.
Ricki
