Help! My iPod has been wiped. Any ideas?!
When I plugged my iPod in to update today it wiped all my music, and now I'm unable to load the tracks back on!
When plugeed in the iPod says 'Do not disconnect' as usual, but when it has finished loading the tracks onto the iPod it says 'The iPod 'Fee's iPod could not be updated. The required file cannot be found' and the files aren't loaded onto my iPod.
Am very rubbish with computers so any help would be greatly appreciated, someone tell me what I'm doing wrong!
Thank You.
Dell Latitude D510 Windows XP
Basically the same thing happened to me yesterday. I had over 2,200 songs on my 60GB video iPod and they're now completely gone. I did try the "banging on the desk" technique but it doesn't seem to have helped and this isn't a fix I'd like to pursue any further.
When I go to update my iPod now it appears to update normally but nothing -- no songs -- appear on it after updating. And when I try to sync it to my hard drive, I get the following error message:
"The iPod "Davers iPod" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
Is hitting "Restore" really my best option?

at odd times I will get a second instance of Firefox startup. I have run avast av, spybot, malwarebytes, both in normal and safe mode and nothing has been found, any ideas?
That second one sounds like malware.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.
Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

IPod has been wiped, and iTunes refuses to sync?
When I plugged in my iPod today, an error came up which said 'Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Six Feet Under The Stars (Acoustic)", were not copied to the iPod "nico" because they cannot be played on this iPod'.
After checking, my iPod has nothing on it at all- all my music has been completely wiped off of it, yet it's still all there in my iTunes library. I tried to sync it again but the same error comes up, even when I tried to manually sync it. I've made sure that 'Sync Music' and 'Entire music library' is checked in the Music tab several times yet nothing is working.
I have an iPod nano, generation 5, 8gb if that's useful information. This has never happened before and I have looked around for help regarding this situation but I can't find anything. Please help?I would suggest you try syncing to the iPod but do not include that particular song. ie Right Mouse click on it and Select uncheck selection. If it then syncs as normal you will know that thereis somethong wrong with that track.
Where did it come from - CD try and reimport it. Itunes store try and redownload it it may be a corrupted file -
Help! Desktop has been wiped accidentally. Where to from now? Can I restore Trash?
Helpful husband has accidentally wiped everything from my desktop while copying things from an external drive.
The whole desktop is completely EMPTY. Not a single thing there. Trash is empty. No folders appear when I search for them.
I'm waiting on Apple Support for a phone call, but desperately wanting to know what I can do in the meantime.
Is there any way I can reverse the Trash can???
Our iMac is only 2 weeks old, we're new Apple users and just in the process of formatting our external drives to back up everything.
Still learning about other ways to back up our work every day...
Help is very much appreciated. Thankyou.Lesson one - keep the desktop clear, or at least put your files elsewhere (Documents folder for instance) and use an alias (shortcut) on the desktop.
If the trash has been emptied, you'll need recovery software and an external HD.
Stop using the Mac if possible until you can do this, as the more you use it the greater the possibility of over-writing the files.

Stellar Phœnix;

Both programmes will give you a free download to scan your HD and see if the files are recoverable, but you'll have to pay for the full application to actually recover them.
There are others with varying levels of usefulness, so someone else may be able to recommend more. -
please help it came upto £50 worth
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

My iPod has been wiped clean....
I updated my iPod (original) this morning to the 3.1 and iTunes to 6 and now my iPod is unreadable and there is no music on it....?! It appears on my desktop but iTunes says it cannot read it and I need to restore it. Can this be for real? I've updated before and didn't have this problem...HELP!!!
Everyone who has had this problem should send feedback to Apple at one of these sites:

If enough people complain they will have to sit up and take notice. -
'''seit irgend einem der letzten Firefox updates funktioniert die zoom Funktion des touchpads des MACs nicht mehr, allerdings nur bei Seiten im Firefox browser!'''
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4+ versions.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
* browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
* browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
* browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
* browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
* browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean) -

When i plug my ipod in, it shows up on desktop as a hard drive, but wont show up on itunes. All my music/videos everything has been wiped off somehow, restored it and still wont work! Please help!
- Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can try disabling the camer notification
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
- Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed? That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod. -
MacBook Pro 10.6.8 My @me account has been wiped of all mail, will not send or receive and iCal will not recognise user name or password even though i haven't changed it. All this after a scheduled software update. Any ideas??

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

Ipod classic has been wiped saying 'no music'etc.
Cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again. Ocassionally Itunes freezes when I plug in the Ipod.Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

What has happened and how do I get my music back? Obviously I have some of it on iTunes but others I don't have anymore... I can't understand how my music would suddenly disappear when my iPod has been working fine. My iTunes was set to manually manage music (and even if it hadn't been, then my iPod would have been synced to it anyway, so that can't explain why it's gone) and all my apps are there as usual. It's the version of the iPod touch before the camera was introduced. Please help!

That makes it difficult to provide any assistance. I hate to say this but you chose to manage the music yourself and there's no way that i/we can figure out what you did that caused the problem. -
I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format". Can someone please help me sort this problem, it's so frustrating!!!!!!
It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.
