Ipod deleted existing songs when performing a sync

Hi,
My Ipod deleted existing songs when performing a sync. Please advise on how to restore the files that have been deleted from the IPod.
Best Regards,
John Joseph

Hey there,
How do you have your iPod set to sync music? Are the 825 songs still taking up space as other on your iPod? To look, just head in the your iPod's settings and click on About to view details.
I would try restoring the iPod in iTunes and setting it up to "automatically sync" with your iTunes library. Also, if you have it set to sync all checked songs and videos that each song you are trying to sync has a check mark next to it and that disk use is not enabled on it.
Hope this helps.

  • Why can't iTunes track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes?

    I was wondering Why, if your iPod is stolen, iTunes cannot track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes.. I've had my iPod touch almost a year now and it is registered in my name and everything. This past weekend someone somehow got into my car while at a concert and stole my purse, my ipod, my friend's ipod and wallet.  I didn't think to file a police report because I figuered there would be nothing they can do. Since, a lot of people buy and sell iPods all of the time from one another instead of from a store.  I thought to let it go, but it keeps haunting me, someone has access to a lot of my person information. This hit me when at work, I was using Pandora internet radio, and someone deleted all of my radio stations and added their own. They are still using it till this day and I have no clue what to do, I've changed my password to Pandora even.  I know it's being used via my iPod from my Pandora app, I regreat not downloading the new ios5 on my iPod... So, I really have no further idea of what to do. I contacted Pandora in hopes they could change my account password or delete it or something, I just hope they haven't used any thing else important. I really wish it were possible for iTunes to track an iPods Serial number when the iPod is either synced to iTunes / iTunes store.. If it were possible, I wish they could help me out and at least lock my prior iPod or hopefully delete everything from that.. I don't have much hope in this though :/

    Thanks for the suggestions... tried tehm but no luck so I've taken it back. I think I'll try a Samsung (only other ones I've found with a Sleep Function) and move to Audible instead of iTunes. A shame after years of iTunes use but I shouldn't have to spend days getting a product to work. Thanks again.

  • My iPod shuffle erases songs when I plugg it back into my computer after I erase the songs I just put in it?

    My iPod shuffle erases songs when I plugg it back into my computer after I erase the songs I just put in it?

    That's how it is supposed to work.  The library on your Shuffle is set to mirror your iTunes library on your PC or Mac.  So if you add some music and configure to sync to the Shuffle, removing it from iTunes, would also remove it from your Shuffle.
    The only way to avoid this is to set up the Shuffle for manual management. See the appropriate section in this Apple support document on how to manually manage your iPod's contents.

  • How can I stop iPod from repeating songs when I want it to shuffle

  • Ipod corrupted - Error -53 when attempting to sync 160gb ipod classic

    Every time I attach my ipod to my PC (Vista) I get a windows message that the drive is corrupted. I also get to various points of the syncing process in itunes and it fails to complete as I get an itunes error message number -53. I seem to have tried everything - re-formatting drive, restoring ipod, resetting ipod, deleting files that were being synced at the time of the syncing failure, but I can't seem to solve this problem and cannot find any info on error -53 anywhere on itunes support or even when searching on the web.
    Can anyone help please??
    Thanks.

    I am having the same problem as well with my 80GB classic. The syncing will start and then freeze at various points during the process. I have received the error -53 message and others as well after this. I have restored my ipod at least 50 times. Once I get the ipod corrupted message, vista will give me a message stating there are disk errors on the ipod drive. I have scanned the drive twice (which takes hours) and just when it is about to be done i get a message "windows unable to complete the format". I tried disabling the USB 2.0 ports to where they "aren't 2.0" and that didn't work either.
    I have tried winamp, floola and anapod as well. I get similar errors on those systems as well.
    I thought it might be my OS or vista but I borrowed an older ipod mini 4GB and it synced over 500 songs just fine. I also tried an ipod shuffle 1GB and it synced fine as well. I brought my ipod over to a friend's house who has an older computer that runs XP and doesn't have USB 2.0 and it synced music fine.
    I have spent hours searching the internet and trying various things. This is the only post I have found so far that people are having the exact same problems as I am. I am just wondering if it is my computer or ipod classic that is the problem.
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • My iPod wont display songs even though it syncs them and sometimes it crashes iTunes. How can i Fix This???

    I have 160 GB iPod classic it worked fine for the first few months i had it now it wont sync, if it does sync it doent display the music, videoes, podcasts, etc.or it crashes iTunes, if on the off chance it doesn't do either of those things then it takes forever to sync, and it skips certain songs that worked a minute before on it and it rarely ever plays video. i tried restoring it, formatting it, troubleshooting it.so can anybody help???

    If your iPod harddisk hasn't gone  kaput yet, then try my suggestion below or else send it to Apple, if it is still under warranty.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so all the freezing symptoms point to this problem.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after checkdisk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck!

  • My ipod shuffle freezes Itunes when trying to sync on my pc but it works on my sons computer?

    Can someone help me, I was given a 4th gen shuffle and tried to sync music to it on my computer but when I go to sync music itunes freezes, not my computer just itunes? I have no problems with my younger sons ipod 4 8gig? When we tried to sync music from my older sons mac it worked no problem? Very strange itunes is obviously identical yet for some reason will not work on my computer? I tried all kinds of way I found in other forums but nothing has worked. I have restored the shuffle I have even unistalled itunes and re installed on my computer? Nothing is working yet my sons mac no worries? Anyone have this issue?  Apple will not assist as no warranty left so assistance cost $$. Desperate please help I love the shuffle but do not want to rely on my sons computer. Thanks.
    Oh yeah I am using Windows 7

    I had something similar a couple of week ago, it would scroll then stop, scroll then stop.
    At some point the porblem went away.
    Try unpowering and restarting your AppleTV.  Rsetart iTunes too.

    You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.

  • How can I delete a song when a cloud with an arrow is next to it?

    I slide to delete it but then the cloud pops up, then I tap it, and then I slide to delete the song and the cloud comes up again. How can I fix it to delete the songs i want?

    You do not need to delete it as it is not there.  It is only in iCloud.
    You can go to settings and turn off the Show All music selection, if you do not want to see the songs that are not on your device, but available via iCloud.

  • I got my ipod for mothers day my daughter put songs on it for me. I bought songs today and they didn't automatically sync to my ipod and if i go to sync it said it will delete existing songs i don't won't to get rid of my music how can i do this?

    I got my ipod for mothers day and my daughter as already put some songs on it  for me and I bought new songs from itunes and it didn't automaticlly sync to my ipod if i go to sync them it said all my music that is already on my ipod will be deleted. I don;t won't my music my daughter put in it deleted what can i do?

    You and your daughter want to enable homeshare in iTunes on BOTH of your computers. Mac or PC. Then you will be able to see your daughter's library. The songs you want to keep just drag to your own library. Then you can diable homesharing if you want. Hope this helps.

  • IPod arbitrarily deletes all music when using movie sync

    well well well. i lost all 20GB of my music on ipod when selecting 'sync movies'. i now have a smart playlist called 'music videos' with nothing in it and an empty music library. having had what could best - and most politely - be described as a nightmare when using 'sync music', i most definitely did not have that option checked.
    any advice on possible retrieval? i don't have my previous music on my computer, i depended on my ipod, as i've not memory to play with.
    OR - any way i can get compensation for this fault? as you can imagine, it tooks many days of diligent importing form hard copies to get it done.

    Hi Andrew;
    You might get more replies if you post your question over on the iPod forum.

  • Greyed out songs when tried to sync songs to iphone

    I just tried to sync an album from my iTunes library to my phone. But when I choose the "on this phone" option, the songs on that album are greyed out. They won't go to my phone at all, I have no clue why. .-. It also says that with several other of my songs too, it's been doing this a lot lately.. ;-;
    Thanks for reading, hope this was somewhat easy to understand, all help is appreciated

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • IPod loses all content when it is sync.

    For this past week when I would update my 30GB ipod it shows it updates but afterwards all contents are gone and it contains zero. Then when I plug it back in it lags the itunes store then says I have to restore it and download everything again. Sometimes itunes freezes up when connected and it takes awhile for it to connect to the ipod. I ma getting tired of this ipod as I have had other problems with this. I hope I can get help because I am not satisfied with this product. I had it serviced once already few months ago and it also has songs freezes and get stuck. I am at my wits end on this.

    Did you reset the iPod using the two-button combo?

    Did you using the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software?
    Did you try reinstalling iTunes, using the latest version downloaded from Apple.

  • Ipod camera black screen when opened and sync prob HELP!!!

    hello i just went to open the camera on my ipod touch 4g and it just went black just a black screen when i press the home button it goes straight to the home screen everything else is fine i just open the camera and a black screen appears, it is working fine now but just wondering if it is faulty or somthing.
    some times it does not sync i will plug it into the computes usb port and it wont charge i takes about 3 to 6 tries to get it to work any help thanks 

    Same thing just happened to me, found another solution though. 
    Plug the USB cable into your PC/base of iPod Touch.
    Turn off the iPod completely.
    Wait 10 seconds and re-power the iPod.
    Now load up the camera; and the screen should be back to normal.
    I have similar screen freeze issue with my Sony Erricson K700i Mobile phone, and plugging in the 'power' cable always resolves it, so it would seem to be of the same method used to resolve this iPod issue!!
    Strange thing as you've posted, all other apps etc still work.  Maybe support will get around to resolving this bug!! 

  • Whgen deleting duplicates does it delete all songs, When deleting duplicates does it delete all songs

    when deleting duplicates in Itunes. Will you loose all of your songs or only the duplicates?

    See this thread for background on the duplicates feature and why you shouldn't delete all the tracks that are displayed, and why you need to pay attention to exactly what you do delete.
    iTunes 11 has removed the Show Duplicates/Exact Duplicates functions so I've added two new scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates to my scripts collection.
    If deduping by hand use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    The Exact Duplicates script makes a good starting point from which to run my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
