I first couldn't update my iPod, now all the songs are gone!

Hey guys thanks for the time to help, but heres the story.
Okay, it first said "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." So then i clicked on "Automatically update all songs and playlists" under preferences, and then a popup said "the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. An unknown error -(36) occured." Okay, so i was struggling with this problem for a long time, i even went to the iPod store and they dont even know.
So then my friend told me to UPDATE my iTunes, so i updated it to iTunes v. 6. NOWWWWW, i plugged in my iPod and then the same thing happens... "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." then all my songs on "admin's iPod" got erased!! So i click automatically update songs again and a NEW pop up comes up saying: "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. The disk cannot be read or written to." So now, not only can i not update my iPod, but all of the songs r erased.
So the question is... How can i transfer the songs from my "admin's iPod" folder on iTunes back to my iPod!!!!!???

Check these out.
Error 36.
Playlists no longer exist.

  • Updated iPod touch and now all the songs are gone.

    So I decided to update my iPod touch to iOS 5, and it took a good 13 hours for it to "back up." So I let it happen and I set it up and all again, and I turn it on and everything is gone. So I go to iCloud and back up on my device and all my apps and pictures came back. However, my music was still gone. But when I plug my iPod in and go to iTunes, ALL of my music is in the music tab under my device, and it all plays perfectly! So pretty much, all my music is shown on iTunes under my device, yet no music is on my actual device. I'm in a dilemma because I don't have all the music I had on my iPod in my iTunes library. Also, when I try to add songs to my iPod, it's not working at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Non-iTunes purchased media is not included in your iCloud backup and no synced media like apps and music are in a backup that iTunes makes on your computer. If you subscribed to iTunes Match you can get those back through Match.

    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
    when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
    We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

  • I erase by mistake my itunes library, then in my trash I foud it and do put it back; but now all the song are in itunes library but they can find any of them. what can I do?

    Have you looked at the settings in iTunes.  Is music syncing manual or automatic.  More info please.  I would try removing all restrictions as an initial test.

  • I changed my Apple-ID email settings, now all the iMessages are gone. Why is that? I want them back.

    As the title says, I just changed my Apple-ID because I got a new main email account. Now all the iMessages are gone.
    How can I get them back or will they synchronize again?
    This really saddens me because I love storing my old conversations.
    Thanks for your input.

    I have a problem with iMessage syncing between my MacBook and my iPhone.  It used to sync just fine [i.e., I could see the same iMessage conversation on both my iPhone and MacBook], but no longer. 
    Now, I believe I inadvertently caused the problem because I changed my Apple ID [I was changing from a @comcast.net address to an @gmail.com one].   When I go into iMessage on my iPhone and attempt to add my email addresses [in addition to the phone number] a default Sign on box appears with my old @comcast.net Apple ID.   The old password to that address does not work, and entering the new password to the new @gmail.com address does not work either.   I cannot seem to find a way to edit the default [older] Apple ID that pops up.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  • Reset my Ipod and all my songs are gone - and I can't get them off itunes!!

    I recently reset my ipod because it was frozen. Now I find that most of my music - the stuff I purchased from itunes is no longer on it. Even though my laptop is authorized - and the only computer I have that's authorized - it won't let me update my ipod with all my purchased music. Please help I am freaking out because all this music is for my reception at my wedding!!

    OK, you need the iPod 101 course.
    But....if you connect your iPod to your laptop, things should be back to normal.
    If you want to hook your iPod up to more than one PC you have to set it for manual update....which is not the default. The default is automatic update.

  • I made an iPhoto book but now all the images are gone?

    I recently made a book in iPhoto and never finished it.  When I re-open the book in iPhoto, the formatting and all the text exists but the images are all gone.  Is there a way to try and rebuild it?  Thanks-M

    Do the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • My daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone?

    my daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone and I have her contacts in my iphone I need my contacts back!!

    If you are sharing the same iCloud account your data will be merged.  Then if she deleted your contacts from her device, they would have been deleted from yours too.
    The first thing to do is migrate your daughter's iPod to her own iCloud account (you can continue to share the same iTunes ID; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud).  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once she is on her own account, you may be able to recover your contacts from your iCloud backup by following these steps: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • I updated my iPad to ios 6.1 and now all my notes are gone.  Can you get them back?

    I updated my I pad to iOS 6.1 and now all my notes are gone.  Can you get them back?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Offand, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
    If these do not solve the problem you can restore from a current iTunes or iCloud backup.

  • HT4061 I did an update n now all my icons are gone?

    I was doing an update and now all my icons are gone.  The phone is charged and has a signal.  I can change the volume but it doesn't receive calls and I can't seem to shut it off.  Help!

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, usually about 10 seconds time. If this does not help, I would try to restore the iPhone. On computer open current iTunes, connect iPhone to computer with Lightning Cable. Hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes. If there is problem after this, make Genius reservation or arrangements for service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.
