my ipod classic says it has no music on it, please help me

Sounds like the device's internal database is probably corrupt. If all the content is in your library simply restore the iPod. If not see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. The iLounge article at the end of the table at the bottom shows how to extract your media from the hidden folders on the drive.

  • Ipod classic says it has been restored by itunes but will not get out of recovery mode

    Hello, about a week ago my ipod classic 120gb shut off unexpectedly and gave me the big red X, telling me to restore. I connected it to itunes (on a mac) and attempted to restore, but it kept on giving me error message 1439. I kind of gave up, but then randomely today when i tried to restore it, it gave me the affirmative that the ipod was restored to factory settings and would restart. however, when it restarted, it was still in disk mode, and the message on my computer was that it has detected an ipod in recovery mode that needs to be restored! i then restored it again, and again it gave me the message that it was successfully restored, however when I restored it again it told me that it was in recovery mode and needed to be restored again. anyone know how i can get it out of disk mode so that when it finally restores on itunes it can restart in normal mode?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • 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 an ipod classic my daughter has an ipod touch, how do I put both on the same computer for different libraries

    I have an ipod classic my daughter has an ipod touch, can I put both libraries on same computer and how is this done???

    I would think you can. If you don't want them to be synced the same, create a playlist with your daughters music, and one with yours, and configure iTunes to only sych the selected playlists.

  • 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"

    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.

    My new ipod touch say it has been disabled for 21,728,990 minutes.How do i fix that!

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it via iTunes on yur computer.  Restore from backup if you have a backup.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    For more information see:

  • I want to add a CD to my IPod Classic, the CD has been loaded into my library but my iPod is not showing on i-tunes and I can't get the CD onto my iPod.

    I want to add a CD to my IPod Classic, the CD has been loaded into my library but my iPod is not showing on i-tunes and I can't get the CD onto my iPod.

    Well if your iPod is not appearing under Devices in iTunes when you have it plugged into a high powered USB 2.0 port, then that would explain why this newly loaded CD has not synced to it yet. 
    Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • HT1386 160 gb iPod Classic says it must use iTunes 9 or later.  120 gb iPod Classic (wifes) is on 8.0 and doing fine.  If I install iTunes 9, will both iPods be o.k.?  Will any music be lost?  THANKS

    You can either burn it to a CD or DVD from within iTunes, or back up the entire iTunes library as you would any other folder.

  • My ipod classic 6th gen. has a dark blinking screen with lines over it.

    My ipod classic 6th generation has a dark blinking screen. Any suggestions?

    Greetings MarkSaved1989,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPod only shows a blinking screen, first try to reset it using the steps at this link:
    Reset your iPod - Apple Support
    If the iPod can't be reset using these steps, try restoring using the instructions found here:

  • 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.

  • How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

    How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to upload my music to iTunes in my new Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5?

    That would be via home sharing.
    Make sure  it's enabled in iTunes (file - home sharing) and Apple TV (settings - computers)
    You would then access on Apple TV using the computer icon. Your computer would need to be on and running itunes

  • Ipod 120gb Classic won't connect to ITunes and says it has 'no music'

    hi!
    I've had my Ipod Classic 120gb since the end of 2008 and never experienced any problems. But since this morning things have gone WRONG!
    This morning I wanted to rip some cd's to my ipod as I do about every week . I rip the cd's ...then drag them to the ipod and remove them from ITunes after that to save space on my pc.
    But when I wanted to rip my cd's, connected my Ipod it gave me a different menu than normal and mentioned something about synchronizing to the ITunes library. Because I think/thought that if I would synchronize, I'd lose all my music in the ipod I unchecked it and proceeded.
    But then trouble began. The Ipod section on the left didn';t find any music and all the playlists etc were also missing.
    Then I ejected the ipod to see if it would play normally and check if the music would still be on it. Well here comes the weird thing: according to my Ipod...there is no music on it (anymore). But the weird thing is...before all of this misery started...I had 2GB of free space left. And this is still the case.....so the music is probably on there somewhere (especially since when I go in the Ipod via this way: F:\iPod_Control\Music i can see the music still in there but then listed like this:  F:\iPod_Control\Music\F00) ...
    Then I tried connecting to I Tunes once again to see if I could do some kind of recovery via I Tunes but now Itunes can't seem to find the Ipod anymore. As mentioned above , Windows actually sees the Ipod. I've tried all the steps as mentioned on the support (these ones:
    2. Restart the iPod Service
    3. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    4. Empty your Temp directory and restart
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Change your iPod's drive letter
    7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
    8. Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items
    9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
    10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys)
    but none of them have fixed the problem . Anyone ever experienced something like this? Any solutions or is bye bye Ipod and the many hours of cd ripping?
    Hope anyone can help me out on this one. Thanks in advance!

    Your iPod filesystem is corrupted, although the music is still there as you mentioned there is only 2GB of free space.
    However due to the corrupted iPod filesystem, iTunes or the iPod firmware cant report the correct file structure.
    Suggestions
    In Windows Explorer or my Computer, click on the iPod -> Properties->Tools->Error Checking->Check Now
    Tick on Autofix Filesystem error.
    If it doesn't work, google  3rd Party softwares for iPod to PC recovery,  like
    iPodAccess http://www.findleydesigns.com Mac/Windows, $20, limited trial available
    There maybe other freeware, that do iPod corrupted database recovery.
    Have a nice day!

  • Ipod Classic says it needs fixing when connected. Won't connect in disk mode

    I've just added all my music to a new memory stick and attempted to sync my ipod classic 160gb for the first time in about 5 years. However my laptop froze not long after it started and I had to restart the laptop.
    Today I've tried syncing it again but every time I plug it in it says it needs fixing. I tell it to fix it but either it does nothing, or tells me it can't be fixed as another program is using it (even though all other windows are closed). I've tried restarting it by holding down the select and menu buttons but that didn't help at all. I then put it into disk mode as I read I could then select it in itunes and restart it. It just says 'ok to disconnect' and won't go to 'do not disconnect' or show up in itunes, and sometimes comes up that it needs to be fixed but can't as the disk can't be found.
    The iPod itself still seems to be perfectly usable, and has all my old music on it.
    I've looked at loads of things on google but none of it helps.

    I've just added all my music to a new memory stick...
    How is the "new memory stick" related to this problem?  Does it have ALL of your music, including the music that is currently on the iPod?
    Do you use a Windows PC or a Mac?
    Is the latest version of iTunes installed, or do you use an older version?
