IPod 6th gen deletes everything off itself out of blue, for the second time

Hello,
I have a June 2008-bought 6 gen 80 Gb iPod classic and, knock on wood, it's the first one I've had that didn't die on me within a year. However, I am experiencing an annoying problem with it. This happened for the second time: iTunes freezes at the point I'm adding songs to the iPod and the moment it unfreezes, there's nothing on my iPod and I have to start over. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong and how should I prevent this, as it's obviously annoying?

So, I did all that and started filling the iPod. At some point when it was 1/4 full, iTunes froze and started "verifying" it. I plugged it out, but too late, it said there was no music on it.
However, when I plug it in, it shows that the amount of space I used is actually taken...but not by music. This is getting odd.
Is the problem any clearer now?

I am in the noerthern [parts of australia and accessing an apple store is not possiable for another month. this is my only soucrce or telecommunication. please help

This is what it says about error 2006
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

Value not populating in the print out (sales order) for the 1st time

Hi friends,
While saving a sales order, the order confirmation going to the user is not populating the LDC field. LDC is Last date of change. This field can be found in the Additonal data 2 tab of the material in the sales order. When I enter a date in this field and save, the print preview of the output has this value, but the print out does not carry this value.
Another weird thing about this issue is that, the second time i trigger the output, the print out has the value.
Please give me some clue on where to check and how to go about fixing this problem.
Regards,
Shanu.

Dear Shanu,
This issue may be related bug in the output program so take help of ABAPer to fix the issue.
I hope this will help you,

Is there an easy way to securely delete everything on my macbook PRO except for the OS and applications? Giving my old Macbook to a family member.

Is there an eay way to securely erase all information on my macbook Pro except for the OS and applicatios? I'm donating my computer but want to eliiminate my files and info.

Yes, boot to your install disk (start up while holding C key). Go to Utilities>Disk Utility. Choose erase and format your disk (make sure it's formatted as Mac OSX extended journaled). There's is a button for security options. Choose the 0 option (don't choose the multiple pass versions, or it will take forever, but that's extra security). The 0 option writes a 0 in every location on the drive, and it takes a few hours. It would take CIA or highly skilled hacker abilities to dig out any information.
Once you wipe the disc, reinstall OSX. You're done.

My ipod 6th gen just died- for no reason.

So I woke up this morning and tried to turn on my new ipod 6th gen, and it didn't react at all. I was pretty unsatisfied with the battery anyways, and noticed it draining over night since you cant turn it off completely, but the battery couldn't be the problem since i just charged it yesterday night. So i hooked it up to my mac and its still not responding at all. I'm pretty ******, I always handled it with care, it wasn't in the sun, near water, or anything else. The sleep button has been unresponsive before. The only thing i could think of is that i disconnected it without ejecting it yesterday, but it didn't die then, since it told me just that- that i disconnected it and shouldn't do so in the future. HELP PLEASE

Today I returned my Nano 6th Gen. to Best Buy for the second time.
Both units just Died within 30 days of usage.
First problem the **** battery seems to just keep running even when on stand by.
Why is there no power off button??
Second even after charging the battery life was short.
Third, the both iPods just shut off and then when I tried to recharge they overheated
Immediately. Dead as can be. Two units behaving identically.
This is no accident. I am highly disappointed in Apple for releasing such Crap.
I am a Super loyal Apple guy. And this *****!
Now what? I don't have a gym tunes now.
Totally ******.

I deleted everything off my Ipod touch and now I can't get my music back on.

A few days ago I deleted everything off my Ipod as there was stuff on there that I didn't want and that was taking up room. I seleted the 'erase all contents and settings' option as I thought that it would simply be a case of reconnecting it to my computer in order to restore my music. But now when I connect it to the computer it doesn't pick it up in iTunes at all, its not under devices or anything. Also, when i turn it on now all that comes up is the apple logo, nothing else. I've tried everything from uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling the latest version to trying to restore my Ipod to its factory settings through iTunes but nothing works. I don't know if this makes any difference but i think it may have been jailbroken a couple of years ago (this was done by someone else not me) and that was what I was trying to delete, all the music and apps that they put on. Please help.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is there a way to delete everything off the Ipod but not off itunes?

I have a 4g Ipod nano, and it is full so it wont let me add any new songs. I have gone into itunes and deleted songs from my playlist and tried to update my ipod but even when i delete playlists and songs it still says that i dont have enough room to add any more. Is there any way i can delete everything off my ipod and but still have all my music in itunes so i can basically start over?

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

You can't restore and erase everything without connecting to your computer. Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting documents? They may be of some help:

Ipod 6th gen not showing any music after successful sync

Hi all,
My ipod 6th gen has just started doing something odd.
When I plugged it in it said it couldnt be read and I had to restore it.
I did this, but now when I sync'd all my music back to the ipod, it seems to work, but when I unplug the nano and try to play some music there is nothing available to play.
Any ideas?
I have the latest version of itunes, and the ios on the iPod is up to date.
The Sync seems to work, and in itunes you can see that there is music on the ipod. But the ipod itself shows nothing available to be played.
Pls help!!!!!

Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.
