IOS8.0.2 removed every song from iPod and won't sync to put them back

Okay, I'm working with two iPod Touchs right now on a fully updated iTunes on a PC. My iPod is not fully updated (8.0), yet I just now synced it and it gave me the songs I had recently downloaded and organized my playlists just fine.
However, I'm trying to sync my sister's iPod. It's been updated to 8.0.2 and when I first tried to sync it, it removed every song from her library. I still have my library on my computer/iTunes, but her iPod is blank. All music has been removed save from some of the recently added and few obscure songs (18 songs in total, when we have >5000).
When I try to sync it again, it recognizes that I want to add every single song. The memory bar at the bottom shows the memory that I intend to use up with all of the music. However, when it syncs, it tells me that it's 'Waiting for changes to be applied'. After about 5 minutes of that, the entire blue bar of music that is supposed to take up the iPod's memory vanishes and the iPod remains unsynced.
To be fair, I did recently update this iPod that is not working. It was working on iOS 6 before but I updated it now. Maybe that's the reason it's not working now, but I have no idea how to find a solution to this.
-I've restarted my computer, iTunes, and the iPod.
-I do not have any missing/exclamation marked songs.
-The iPod is set to automatically back up.
-I've tried both 'syncing the entire music library' and 'filing extra memory with songs'.
Does anyone have any idea how this can be solved? Thank you.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings                            
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                               
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I have just downloaded two songs from Itunes, and when I try to put them on my iphone they will not go there. There is an icon showing; which is a red ring with a cross through it?

    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

    Your signature lists both, Mac and iOS device - are you asking about GarageBand on your Mac or your iPhone/iPad?
    If you are asking about the upgrade from GarageBand '11 to GarageBand 10.0 on your Mac, the old GarageBand version should still be installed. The installer will have moved GarageBand '11 to a separate folder "GarageBand 6.0.5" in your Applications folder. Open this folder and click "GarageBand".  Does this version still see your old projects?  If not, type ".band" into the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. Does that sfind your missing projects?
    If you are asking about GarageBand on iPad/iPhone, there it is not possible to restore the previous version after you upgraded. And I do not see, how this upgrade could have deleted your projects. Have they completely vanished, or can you not open them any longer? If your projects have vanished, restore your device from your backup: See:  iCloud: Backup and restore overview

  • TS2818 I have purchased songs from iTunes and when I sync with my Ipad only some are imported....then it says contact Itunes as to why your songs are not being synced.

    I have purchased many songs on Itunes and then I sync to my Ipad. Then it tells me so many songs cannot be synced.  Why? I also attach my connection and it is now saying this iphone is not connected when it is an Ipad connected to my MacBook Air.  I also think that when you have an account with Apple they should honour your email to all your music and not just your laptop as I now have to use my old laptop which is about to die so what happens then. 

    What is the exact wording of the error message?
    Were all songs purchased by the same iTunes account?
    What did iTunes say when you contacted them?

  • Removing unchecked songs from ipod, without deleting the files from itunes?

    I want to remove a large amount of songs from my ipod, without deleting them from my itunes.
    I unchecked them all in itunes, but accidentally synced my ipod without selecting "Sync only checked songs." But now when I sync it--even with that box checked-- it leaves all the unchecked songs on my ipod.
    I can't seem to just go into the music on my ipod and delete them either.
    Is there anyway I can automatically remove all the unchecked songs from my ipod without deleting them from itunes?
    (I know I can manually choose what to sync, but it would be a massive headache to go through 30 gigs of music to select the 20 I want on there....)

    Hey Emily,
    So the *Sync only checked songs and videos* option is still ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab correct? If so, what options do you have ticked from under the Music tab for your iPod? If it is set to only sync *Select Artists, Playlists, and Genres* try changing that to sync your entire music library. Then make sure to hit the Apply button to update the changes to your iPod.
    Any luck there?

  • Removing song from ipod and putting them on laptop

    Hey all giving old nano to sister and need all my old music i have on there to put on my new ipod touch how can i do this??
    Matt

    Hi and welcome to  Discussions!
    First you'll need to transfer your music from the iPod Nano to the computer and then sync the music with the new iPod Touch.
    Read this article, to learn how to transfer from an iPod to a computer:
    If you have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, then those are pretty easy to transfer to your computer. You'll just need to follow [this instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].
    All your other songs (for example, those ripped from your CD's), you'll need to use any 3rd party program to transfer them to your iTunes library!
    Some can also transfer your playlists, videos, ratings, podcast...

  • Ipod 5 wasn't updating new playlists.  Removed all music from iPod and ended up with 34 GB of OTHER.  How do I remove this without doing a full restore?

    iPod 5 was not adding new playlists when synching (plenty of space remained in memory for it).  This happened around the time of the new update.  I removed all music from the iPod and when I went to resync the selected playlists, my OTHER portion of memory jumped up to 34GB and now there is not enough space on the iPod to put all my music back on.
    I've checked the usage of all the apps and photos, etc, it is pretty clear this is because of the music portion only.
    Is there anyway of removing this information?  Without doing a restore?  It is not jailbroken either.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    There are also a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • How to easily delete songs from itunes that won't sync?

    I just bought my first ipod (a 32Gb Touch), however I have been using itunes for about two years and have about 4100 songs in itunes.
    After my initial install years ago, I tested the sync with a friends ipod. Now there are about 100 of these songs in itunes that were his, which prompt me that they can't sync everytime I sync my Touch.
    I would like to just delete them, but I don't see any way to sort or select these 100 songs in a group to delete them and I dread the idea of going through my large song list and deleting them one at a time.
    Does anyone have an easier way of mass selecting and deleting songs that won't sync? I wish itunes would let me do thins right from the list it was showing me, but no luck.
    Thanks!

    Sort by *Date Added* and they should all be at the same place in the list.

  • I dowloaded some songs from soundcloud and they wont sync to my device

    I downloaded some songs from soundcloud as a .m4v file, then went to itunes to convert it as a mp3 file. It converted it, but then it didn't sync the song to either my ipad nor my iphone.  Help?

    Right click the files in iTunes, click Get Info then ensure at least the Artist, Album and Genre fields are filed in on the Info tab. Then go to the Options tab to set the Media Kind option appropriately.

  • Ripped songs from a CD won't sync

    I have two CD's that I added to my iTunes. I have iTunes Match and wifi syncing enabled. I even purchased songs on iTunes on my computer and they show up on my phone, but the songs from the CD's won't show up.

    Hi,
    What is the iCloud status of the new songs? This will tell you if they have been matched, uploaded, ineligible, duplicate or waiting. Matched and uploaded songs should appear.

  • All iTunes songs grayed out and won't sync to phone

    Hello,
    I have over 9000 songs in my iTunes library. My iTunes library is stored locally on my iMac.  The vast majority of songs were imported from CD's I own.  If in iTunes I make the selection to sync the entire library to my phone, iTunes reports that there are about only 250 songs total.  If I select "Sync only checked songs" and choose a few songs or albums, the number of songs to sync stays at zero. iTunes version 12.1.0.50.
    When viewing my iTunes library I noticed that just about all of my song titles are gray.  If I click on a song in iTunes it plays no problem. However I can't sync anything over to my phone anymore.
    If I go to the library location on my HDD all of the music files are there as they should be.
    I appreciate any suggestion - I've been trying to fix this for some time now and have had no success.
    Regards.
    NM

    I have finally solved this issue.  Here is the solution:
    1. Open iTunes
    2. Select Music
    3. In the upper right hand corner select Albums.
    4. Under "All Albums" highlight the first album, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, hold down the shift key and select the last album.
    5. All albums should now be selected.
    6. Place the cursor over one of the albums. Press with 2 fingers on the trackpad to bring up the menu.
    7. Select "Check All"
    8. Congratulations - no more grayed out songs and they will sync now.
    9. Go into your iPhone sync and check the songs you want to transfer and click the sync button.
    I hope this helps you to resolve your issue.
