Ipod missing songs after update

I never should have done this but when I updated my itunes recently and left auto-sync on. Plugged my ipod in, itunes takes the next 6 hours trying to update my ipod with 40 gigs of music. It was able to do it, and it shows all songs as being imported successfully when i look at my ipod library plugged in to itunes. However, when I unplug my ipod and use it, I only see one song from each album. Some albums are complete but very few. Also, now I can't restore my ipod when connected to itunes to try to reload all of my music. Any ideas?

All of my songs show up on my computer library and are all playable. I've tried restoring to factory settings and even after doing so, I encounter the same problem.
Update though: when I plug my ipod into my car, it can play all of the songs though I can't see them when scrolling through the ipod library. It seems like they're "hidden".
I never get any errors, just can't see about half of my library.

Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library. For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

Ipod wont show songs after updating.

Hi there, I have a Ipod 30gig Video. I have just done the 1.2.2 update on it. I am running windows 2000. The only way I can get my songs back and lists, is to plug it into my mac laptop, then Eject it. It seems as Itunes does not support windows 2000 no longer (no further downloads for win 2000)I cannot view my songs after ejecting it. I am not very happy and would not have updated the Ipod firmware if I knew this was going to happen.
Can I reverse my firmware with an older one somehow? What shall I do?

I am having the same problem!!!! have you resolved this issue yet? I see noone has replied with an answer its really frustrating. I have a friend at work who plugs it into this ipod thing he has sorry i don't know the name of it. He plugged it in to try to back up my music but didn't have enough space so when he disconnected it i was able to listen to my music again! when i plugged it back into my computer at home and at work all the songs disappeared again when I disconnected it!! I don't get it!! He suggest's I delete all my songs after I back it up of course and start from scratch! I don't want to do that 'cause it will take forever to get all my stuff back on. There has to be a better way! and APPLE should have warnings before they just throw out updates!!!

IPod touch duplicates songs after updates

My I-pod touch duplicates some (not all) songs after every IOS update. The only way I've found to correct this is to restore my I-pod and then synch everything again; very annoying and time-consuming. This occurs even after turing off I-Cloud Match. Any ideas/suggestions?

The only solution is the delete the non-playing songs and resync them or redownload them. Sometimes some files on the iPod get corrupted during and update. You may even have to restore the iPod:
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.
- Unsync/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.

IPod stops after 10th or 12th song-after updating ITNS

5th Gen iPod running Firmware 1.2 and iTunes 7.0.1.7. After updating through Software Update from previous iTunes, I updated the Pod as recommended and now it stops after every 10th or 12th song. I have tried every step mentioned on http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ but with no luck. Ran perfectly fine on previous version.
Any ideas?

This happens to me too. Only thing I can think of is I recently downloaded latest software. Help!

Trouble disconnecting Ipod from computer after updating/charging

Just bought a 5th gen and I started to have this problem. The first few times after it updated, the window on my Ipod showed the battery being/finished charged, and allowed my to disconnect. Now after updating, it just keeps showing "Do not disconnect" and will not allow me to unhook. (I have to go to USB icon on tool bar and dissconnect that way, even though it still shows do not disco on the Ipod window.)
Is there something wrong, and will I create a problem on my Ipod discoing the way I do?
Thanks
Jim

it recognizes my ipod but when i click the sync button nothing happens and my ipod is still missing the songs that i just bought from my computer
try playing one of the purchased songs for a few seconds in itunes. do you get asked to authorise? if so, and if you do, do the purchases transfer to the ipod when you sync?

IPod wont work after update! iTunes wont see it! Help???!!!

Hi
After updating the updater my iPod is no longer recognised by itunes. When i plug my ipod in it says do not disconnect and is recognised by the computer, but not itunes. The updater window comes up saying i need to update but it will only give me the option to restore. I have done this. I have tried resetting also, but this doesn't work. I have uninstalled the updater, and reinstalled it. The problem persists. It comes up with an error when i do have the option to update. Now my ipod, when turned on, display the little apple sign, and then the folder with the exclamation, and shortly turns itself off. It has no songs on it now. I've only had it about 8 months so it should still be covered under the warranty, but ideally i would like to solve this problem without sending it off.
Did you work out how to sort out yours? Or can anyone help me with mine!
Please!!!

"Did you work out how to sort out yours?"
Did who sort out theirs?!
What is the error message you refer to when you tried to update it.
If you've seen this and it doesn't help then it may need service.
Folder and !.
There is something you can try. If your iPod is recognized in 'my computer' you can try formatting the iPod through Windows, then you would need to reformat it using the iPod updater. This proceedure isn't normal, but can be used in extreme troubleshooting circumstances.

Anyone notice distorted bass in songs after updating to iOS 5

I have a 4th gen Ipod Touch and just upgraded to iOS 5 today. When I play a song the bass sounds all distorted and rattles as if I am using incredibly cheap headphones or something when I am using good quality Bose headphones. I did not notice this in iOS 4. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, how did you fix it. I am thinking or resyincing and setting up my ipod as a "new ipod" to see if that works, but have to wait until after work.

Anyone notice color shifts in grades after updating to 1.5? There is a warning to this effect when you update legacy projects, has anyone experienced this, and if so, what kind of shifts were noticeable and how were they solved?
I'll see if I can hunt it down in the docs (a quick search didn't reveal the info) - but 1.x projects are not fully compatible with 1.5 and there may be unpredictable results.

Having problem with listening songs after updating iPad 2 to OS 5.1?

I recently updated my iPad 2 to OS 5.1. After the update, I have been having a problem listening to music. If I go to iPod and start a song after exiting to the home screen, the song stops playing.Why is this happening? I also tried restarting the iPad but still the problem persists.

Read this from Apple. Read the last part about the .ipsw file. I copied the text from here.

IPod function frozen after update to OS4

After updating to OS 4 on my 3G iPhone, all songs (and podcasts, etc) are present in my phone, but will not play. I select a song, it comes up as if it's going to play, the little play arrow comes up, and then I get booted back to the list of songs. I have reset, restarted and restored settings. No change. I have not yet done a complete restore from my computer, because it takes upwards of 4 hours to re-download all my music to the phone. But I will if there isn't another way. Any advice? Thanks!

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod erases songs after I eject

So I'd say 1 out of about every 5 times I eject my ipod from Itunes, and disconnect it from my computer (AFTER the "Do Not Disconnect" screen has gone away), all of my songs and videos have been erased. When I try to plug it back in to my computer, itunes won't recognize my ipod, and asks me to restore my ipod to default settings, and to update the software. I downloaded the updater, and updated and restored my ipod, but the same thing continues to occur.
I couldn't find an answer in the FAQ's. Should I send it in to be serviced since it's covered under warranty? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok after I restored it, everything has been working ok, but this has happened before so, I'm still skeptical.
What doesn't make sense is that I had a 30gb Ipod Video before, and never had any problems like this with it. Now I have a 60gb Ipod Video, and I keep having this problem. If this drive letter thing is the issue, why didn't it happen with my 30gb?
Also, one thing I've noticed happen when I change my ipod settings from automatic update to manual, it gives me an error message saying "An error has occured while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation".

My iPhone can only display and play purchased songs after updating to 8.1.3

After updating to 8.1.3, all of my songs refuse to even show up on my iPhone if they were not purchased on the iTunes store. I should have about 5 gbs of music on my phone but I only see 7 songs I purchased from albums in the iTunes store. I tried synching to iTunes, re-adding music, restoring it. This was not a problem until I updated the iOS. How do I get this fixed?

did u ever find an answer?

Ipod rebooting during/after update

My 30g video iPod is rebooting during or after I attempt to update. Nothing is saving to the iPod during these updates. I have done the 5 Rs, reformatted my iPod, as something was horribly corrupt. Now I have this new problem. I am at a complete loss as to what else to do to stop this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem (the iPod kept rebooting after being ejected) and I went to the Apple store in Toronto to see if I was doing something wrong.
The girl told me to send it back again to Apple... this only after I had just got it back from Apple the same week; they aslo said there was nothing wrong even though, and that it was my computer(s), despite the fact that the behavior was exactly the same thing again on multiple computers.
It would only stop rebooting if I set it to disk mode while connected then restored the iPod (thus erasing all my files...).
I'm going to send it back again and see what they say...

With headphones plugged in, ipod changes songs after 2-3 seconds

ipod has been working fine until lately. when I plug the headphones in, it will change songs after about 2-3 seconds. Also, sometimes when you power down it will come back on all by itself. Any help would be great !!!!!!

OK, so here is my problem. I did originally download the Beta 10.10... Apparently I kept on getting betas and was running 10.10.2 (which today is still in beta).
I did downgrade to 10.10.1 (by clicking "Download" in the App Store).
Right after the downgrade everything with syncing works perfectly.
Cheers, hope this helps someone.
