IPad deletes Videos and Music

The day before yesterday I put about 40Gb of videos and 5Gb of music on my IPad just before starting to vacation.
Today I downloaded a single podcast from the App Store and after that I see that all (!!) of my videos and music are deleted by itself!! Only the one podcast ist left. And furthermore, I see at "Info" that only 4Gb of memory is free on the IPad ... So where are my movies?? As I can't connect to my Mac at home, is there any other way to restore them?
Thanks in advance!

One thing to try that shouldn't hurt anything, is to reboot the iPad's CPU. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. After the iPad restarts, see if your videos and music can be accessed.

How do you stop kids deleting videos and music from ipad

Hi,
I'm able to check a box in restrictions so apps aren't deleted but there is no similar function to select for music and videos.
I'm Getting fed up with my special needs kids being able to accidentally delete them.. its happened twice today, 25GB of videos accidentally were removed.
How can we lock them so they can not be deleted?
If there is no function, perhaps Apple needs to create one.
thank you

You can make a password protected folder of the apps your children use to access music and videos so they are not on the screen. They will not have access to music or videos. But I'm sure your problem is they want to see videos, hear music, etc. ...
If they don't have them, maybe they'll lose interest and play with games specified for them. Even then, though, they can probably delete those, too.
To my knowledge there are no apps to prevent your children from deleting music and videos. However, you are not alone. You might want to google it. If enough parents inforn Apple... Look what they've been doing for vision, hearing impaired, users with physical mobility problems, people on the autism spectrum, and others with learning issues/disabilities, etc. Here are a couple of ipad parents with similar questions/requests.

If your ipad 2 is older than 90 days you do not have phone support. If more than a year, it's out of warranty. If you're near a genius bar make an appointment. Otherwise, I suggest the following solution.

How can i remove videos and music that are not on my ipad mini but are still taking up space and are showing that they are there even after i've deleted them?

how can i remove videos and music that have been deleted from the ipad but are still showing in settings as still being on the ipad?

I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

HT4623 I tried doing my update and it told me I don't have enough storage, so I deleted all of my apps, photos, videos, and music. And it's saying I still don't have enough storage. Any suggestions?

Do you memeber the complete wording of the error message?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Any ideas? Have tried usual switching on and off again but no change

Here’s what you need to do to turn on AirPlay Mirroring on your iPad 2:
– Have iOS 5 installed on your iPad 2
– Make sure your Apple TV software is up-to-date. You can check for updates on the Apple TV by going to Settings > General > Update Software.
– Have your TV turned with Apple TV active and showing.
– Double-tap the home button on the iPad to bring up the Multitasking Bar.
– Swipe to move to the left of the Multitasking Bar, so you can see the set of controls just to the left of the volume adjustment slider.
– The button just to the right of the Fast Forward button – the one that has a rectangle with a solid, upward-facing arrow in it – is the AirPlay button. Tap to switch from iPad to Apple TV.
– Once you do that you’ll see the Mirroring section appear just below the entry for Apple TV. Just tap to turn that On, and the iPad 2 will immediately begin mirroring to your TV screen.

Not sure if this will work, but you could try the app My Contacts Backup. This will back up your contacts as an email attachement. Send the email to yourself. Then turn off contacts syncing (to erase the contacts from your phone), open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts to your phone. You will still have to go through them and remove the duplicates but at least they should not be duplicated again. (There is an app called
Remove Duplicate Contacts and Events that claims to be able to find and remove duplicates but you'll have to read the reviews in the app store to decide if you want to try it.)

I have been streaming videos and music from my phone and iPad. I just got a new MacBookPro and when I try to stream from it, I get the mirror image, but no sound. ????

Videos and Music deleted after iPhone restoration....

This maybe very elementary. after having trouble with disabled wifi, i followed series of advise to do phone restoration. Using i-tunes, i did as advised. I know that videos and music files will be deleted. Knowing that i have back-up copies of those at my laptop, i proceeded. Problem is, i cant copy them back to my iPhone......i synced using itunes...and it still didnt work.

im still havin a hard time finind resolution for this.... i cant copy any music or video to my iphone

Video and music data not showing up in iOS7

Under "General"/ "Usage" Video and Music are now at the bottom of the list and say "No Data". This goes for both my iphone and ipad mini both running current iOS7.0.2. I have videos on both and wanted to delete without synching. Is this

Anyone?
per HT3814:
Remembering audio CDs you burn
iTunes also "remembers" every audio CD you burn. However, the CD and track names are not burned onto the CD itself. If you insert the burned audio CD into another computer, or even log in as another user, the CD will be titled "Audio CD", and will have generic track names. Since the track length and the overall CD length is the same as the store-bought album, iTunes finds the information for the store-bought album when it looks the CD up online.
So why does this no longer work on my iMac?
It DID work for a playlist from multiple ripped CD's a year or so ago--has this changed in the newer iterations of iTunes?

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos? I don't know why the photos are still taking up space and if I will have to reset my phone to get rid of the problem.

Hey there TowneJ,

Sharing Photo, Video and Music files

My new iMac has arrived and I'm looking forward to transferring across all my files at the weekend and to starting to use it.
We use the computer as a family computer although we have different accounts on the computer. I would like to enable all members of the family to have access to all photo, video and music files when they are signed into their individual accounts and using iLife.
My question is this: where should I place these files to enable common access. At the moment they are stored under my user name and therefore only I can access them. A slight refinement on this is that although I want to encourage the kids to use iLife and develop their skills in this area, I want to make sure that they don't delete/alter any of the original files so would ideally like them to save any changes they make in a new file under their accounts.
Hopefully this makes sense!

What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
To protect your own user account:
Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.

Videos and music pausing then continue playing

Hi, I really need some kind peoples feedback on this - I've tried eveything I can think of.
My 80gb 5.5 gen iPod video is playing up.
When I play a video movie I get a slight pause, for about 2 seconds in the flow of the movie.
This happens around every 10 mins of playing. My movies are ripped via handbrake.
Also the pause appears with music tracks as well, around the 7th track played in an album. It happens with all albums - they all paly fine on my shuffle and iPod touch.
I have tried formatting he iPod via disk utility and restored the iPod using iTunes.
The iPod is using firmware 1.3 I am now wonderng whether I should downgrade to a lower firmware or even trying a firmware from a 3rd party company.
I have also cleared all artwork off the song tracks and converted them all to 123 aac as well.
Please let me know if any of you guys have experienced this problem.
Thanks

Prior to vacation, i had about half the iPad (64GB) loaded with videos and music. I left all of that on the iPad, and added even more. I synced it, checked in itunes that the iPad drop down lists were showing my vids and music, and then went on vacation. I never checked that the videos actually played after the sync. I never thought that would be necessary after seeing them in iTunes. Especially since the majority of them were ones that were remaining on my ipad and have always worked fine.
So the problem is that my iPad memory is full, the files definitely synced over, but the ipad is not recognizing them as videos and music. It lists zero ids, zero songs. Oddly, my photos, which i didn't touch, are working perfectly.
I'm confident that i could fix this by endlessly syncing when i get back home, however that 12 hour flight home would be a lot more entertaining if i could get this working without my computer

There is no tab that says, manually manage video and music, only one to manage video.

I have an Iphone 5. I want to manually manage my music.

After Sync Videos and music do not play

I did a recent sync with the latest iTunes and my Ipad3.2.2. After the sync the ITunes shows videos and music are loaded. Yet when I try to access on my Ipad it starts to show the library then closes.
I have tried the connect to another computer, the reset, the Restore. Just about everything but the macarena!
Any ideas, Thanks

You're dealing with two different plug-ins.
Flash Player (Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin)
and "PepperFlash" (Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions/34.0.1847.116/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlash/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin)
And NetFlix uses the Microsoft SilverLight plug-in.
From SoundCloud support:
Why can't I hear tracks using Safari?
If you can't hear tracks on SoundCloud using Safari, please go to Safari ---> Preferences ---> Advanced ---> and un-check "Stop plugins to save power." Like this:
If YouTube works, it may be doing so in HTML5 mode which requires no plug-in. Do you use Apple's Firewall or (please say you don't) anti-virus?
