  • Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

    since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
    Thanks,

    yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

  • New 6th generation ipod - loaded my library onto the iPod  all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist.

    I have purchased a new 6th generation ipod and registered it with Apple- it has loaded all my library onto the iPod but when the library is displayed all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist. Can anyone help me ?

    The content that you are viewing on your Nano via iTunes is grayed out since your iPod is set up for automatic syncing with your iTunes library.  If you want to be able to manually manage your contents (which is sounds like you are trying to do), you must enable the Manually manage music option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.

  • Ipod Nano icon not showing in  itunes and I've tried everything suggested

    My ipod nano is not showing in itunes and I've tried everything that has been suggested by Apple.  I updated iTunes, I've reset the ipod.  I just want to download my songs!  Help! Please and Thank you.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

    Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
    Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
    Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
    Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
    -Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
    -On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
    (And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
    Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
    Thanks:)

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • My ipod starts voicing song data, artist data, and playlist data while I am listening to music.  Is this a feature or a defect?  I do not know why it occurs, but the only way to stop it is to stop the music then play the playlist again.

    To make sure voiceover is off, you need to go to summary screen then click the "Configure Universal Access" button. Then you will get a dialog where you can make sure voiceover is off. All of the boxes in the dialog should be unchecked.

  • Rating Podcasts and Videos on the iPod

    How does one rate Podcasts and Videos on the iPod. I can do it in iTunes but have not figured out how to do it on the iPod unless I first convert the file so that it appears to be an audiobook or music file.
    I use ratings to determine 1) I've listened to it so now delete it, 2) I'm in the process of listening, 3) this episode has some info I need to reference but once I do I can delete, 4) and 5) this is good stuff - don't delete it ever.
    Thanks.

    well the blue dots along side the podcasts and movies will show you whether you have listened/are in the process of listening/watching. and you can delete them as you finish with them by swiping from right to left over the title and hitting the 'delete button' that comes up.
    (i would recommend at least reading my posts in this thread though http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8755314#8755314 - this isn't a major problem, but has been flagged up as something which occurs with the ipod deletion method, and is worth knowing about, but would take me ages to explain it again!)
    so that would effectively manage your first 2 ratings for you, but i'm not sure it is possible to rate them in the same way you can rate music.
    suggest it to apple using the feedback page:

  • Can I mimic a 'slide show' of stills and videos with this technique

    I want to be able to mimic an old fashioned slide show on a Blu-ray disk, except that each 'slide' – I'll call them items – could be a true still, or a still with pan/zoom, or even a short video. Whatever a particular item is, I want to click a button and the show advances to the next item. If the next item is a video, the video pauses on the last frame when it is finished.
    Just like the old magazine full of slides, imagine a folder full of items – some may be stills, some videos. After importing into Encore, setting up the navigation and menus, and then burning to Blu-ray, I want to be able to play them in sequence at the press of the Enter button.
    I'm pretty much a novice with Encore, and to save spending more time reading the manual, I thought I'd ask if I can mimic a slide show in Encore with the technique described below. I got the idea from page 152 of the PDF manual:
    The buttons on a menu are the primary navigation tool for the viewer. They control how the viewer steps through the project. Each button in a menu must lead to another menu, a timeline, a chapter, a playlist, a chapter playlist, or a slide show.
    My limited experience with Encore is to set up a series of videos on a single timeline, and generate one menu with a "Start" button on it. When the Blu-ray starts up, the Start screen appears and stays there until I press Enter. Works well.
    A slide show of stills using buttons only
    So I thought: to generate my old-fashioned slide show (ignore videos for the moment), I would use the buttons themselves as the stills, taking my queue from the quote above: "Each button in a menu must lead to another menu…". My slide show would consist of jumping from one menu to the next. This leads to my first question:
    Q1: Is it possible for a menu to have a full-screen button, call it the Image Button, that is actually the still image that is desired to be shown? So the viewer sees the Image Button, thinks it's the image (which it is), but it is actually a button. When the viewer presses Enter, the button activates and goes to the next menu which also happens to be the next full-screen image. The viewer is jumping from Image Button to Image Button, with the buttons filling the screen and being the actual images.
    A slide show including videos
    To include a video in the slide show, the destination when Enter is pressed would be a timeline with the appropriate video. At the end of this video, the navigation would lead to a menu which has an Image Button of the last frame of the video. The effect is that the video is paused on the last frame, waiting for the user to hit Enter to advance to the next item (still or video).
    If there is an easier way to mimic a slide show of stills and videos, please let me know.

    Stan – I posted 3 years ago in the Keynote Forums (I'm on Mac) about this sort of thing, knowing that eventually I would want to do it. The answer came back then that Keynote might have problems. So I've recently posted again about Keynote, but no responses as yet.
    I expected problems with Encore and welcome some of them. Overcoming problems is the best way to become intimately involved with software.
    I'm glad you asked why I don't just use Powerpoint (or Keynote in my case). Now's my chance to clarify my thoughts:
    Macs do not upscale very well. Sometimes I may want to show part of a DVD. I've tested playing a DVD on my iMac versus on a Oppo BDP93, fed to a BenQ W7000 projector throwing a 3 metre image. There is an obvious difference in image quality because the Oppo, being hardware based, can interpolate in real time as it scales from 576p (PAL) to 1080P. DVD Player on my iMac simply magnifies the image, resulting in obvious pixellation.
    Dissolves and complex effects in Premier challenge any software based h.264 player. I don't like to see decoding artifacts, for example, during a dissolve while a part of the image is also reducing in size, spinning, and disappearing into the distance. An extreme example, but an effect I used once. From my reading of blu-ray player reviews – and from my limited testing – all blu-ray players can easily handle the highest bit rates from a blu-ray disk.
    I don't have a laptop so I'd have to buy one. I'd rather spend the money on a dedicated player if that route turns out to be suitable.
    I don't trust computers for a presentation. Too unreliable. When I was showing multiscreen audio visuals in the 1980s (4-6 projectors), I always had a backup Tascam 4-track with me, back up soundtrack on tape, back up amp, and a backup slide projector. Even had a backup amp in the car. Speakers, well, if one failed I had two there anyway. With digital, to feel comfortable, I'd have to buy a second laptop. A good quality, backup Blu-ray player can be had for $100. And yes, I do have a backup W7000. I don't trust digital projectors either.
    Running a presentation from a laptop always looks amateurish to me. Someone hunched over a tiny screen, fooling around with Windows or OSX. And usually it's all mirrored on the big screen for everyone to see. I'm never impressed. I want to replicate a cinema experience as closely as possible. Darkness, the audience hushed, and up comes the first image.
    Any suggestions about automatically linking a whole heap of menus?

  • Podcasts and Videos not working sometimes.

    Over the past few months I have noticed that certain podcasts and videos (an episode of Desperate Housewives at the moment) that I purchased from or obtained from iTunes won't load on or play on my iPhone because it cannot be played on it. Anyone else have this issue and how did you fix it (assuming you did)?
    I would understand if I didn't get the files from Apple... But that is not the case.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Podcasts and Video Issues With version 7.01.8

    I had 7.0 but removed it and went back to version 6.04. When version 7.01.8 came out I went ahead and downloaded it and my first two songs I played started skipping again. The playback for my downloaded videos and podcasts still have the same problems in this version and 7.0 but not 6.04. The music is not in sync with any video and the music has too much static and erratic breaks. There is a raspy sound and distinct irregular sounds. My music library is playing fine now, though it started as if the problems weren't fix going from 7.0 to 7.01.8 but so far so good. I wish Apple would fix the video and podcast playback problems. I didn't have any problems with version 6.04 and I'm running a Dell Dimension 8200 with GeForce4 TI 4600 AGP Graphics Card. Anyone else have problems with podcast and videos with the this update?

  • Ipod songs showing up grey and won't play

    I have recently added some cd's on to iTunes. The songs show up normal in my itunes library and will play, but then when I go to them on my iPod library they show up grey and have a sync sign next to them. Most of them don't even show up on my ipod, but some do and they are just grey and won't play. I have tried re-downloading the cd's, right clicking on the songs, and pretty much anything I can think of. How do I fix this?

    Couple questions for you.
    Are you using the Wi-Fi sync feature?
    Are you on the latest firmware?
    What I would try doing is, if your using the Wi-Fi sync feature turn that off and sync with the cable that was provided with the iPod. 
    If you are already doing that I would try going into settings > general > reset all settings
    if that doesnt work, then the last thing I would try is restoring your iPod to factory after backing everything up and trying to sync once more. 
    Let me know if this helps you out at all!

  • Deleted iPod Selection--all songs on iPod disappeared--help!

    I had too many songs in my library to fit on my iPod, so my iPod created a selection of songs. Then I added and deleted many songs to the library.
    However, when I plugged in my iPod so it would be updated from the revised iTunes library, nothing would happen. So I deleted the iPod selection, thinking iTunes would automatically create a new one based on the revised library. Wrong. I got the message "Songs on your iPod cannot be updated because all of the playlists no longer exist." Uh oh.
    Deleting the iPod selection wiped out my iPod, but all the songs are still in my library. How do I get all the music in my iTunes library back onto my iPod? Can't find any info about this problem in the articles. Thanks for any advice you can provide...I'm freaking out.

  • Ipod nano lost all songs- tried to restore and wont

    Hi, I hope someone ca help me.
    The ipod nano lost songs. when connected to itunes- all songs seemed to be able to be loaded onto the device- but once disconnected they were not there.
    Then tried to restore (didn't need update) and it said that it wouldn't restore because ipod files are used by another application- (not that I am aware???)
    I did the diagnostic test thing and it said:
    Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24CD , PCI bus 0, device 29, function 7. WARNING: problem with device.
    Obviously a problem with device.....Any clues- in very simple english- as I am a beginner- it took me hours to find this discussion forum!!!

    "all songs seemed to be able to be loaded onto the device- but once disconnected they were not there."
    This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.
