IPod Music Gone After 10.6.5 Upgrade

I ran the upgrade last night, but got an error at the end. Looking at About, am on 10.6.5. I went into iTunes and watched it remove music from my iPod. Resynching wouldn't restore the music (Synch was in 4 steps, believe it used to be 5). Restored the iPod, but still no music.
Any one else seeing this trouble? How can I rerun the update to try and clear the issue?

Thanks all for stepping in with suggestions. During the various reboots and installs, iTunes finally gave a warning that no songs were selected. Selecting all got music resynching.
During the 10.6.5 upgrade I received an error message and during restore of iPod that too got an error message. Not sure where or why the music was unselected and removed from the iPod... but seems to be working now.

Music gone after 5.1.1 upgrade?

Does anyone know what to do to restore all my music? It only shows the music I purchased from iTunes. When I sync the phone, it looks like all my music should be there. I can find no fix action for this. Any ideas? Thanks.

The other music should be in iTunes on your computer. Is it not?

Lock Screen wallpaper gone after 6.1.1 upgrade.

Lock Screen wallpaper gone after 6.1.1 upgrade. I tried resetting wallpaper and rebooting, but lock screen stays at default black background with battery. Anyone else notice this?

That's what happens when you are charging. Is your iPhone plugeed in?

TS1363 Is anyone else suddenly getting this problem on both iPod & iPad immediately after downloading the last upgrade to iTunes 10.6.1.7?

Is anyone else suddenly finding that iTunes is not recognising both iPad & iPod when trying to sync via a PC AND that this problem started immediately after downloading the last upgrade to iTunes 10.6.1.7 to said PC? Im loathed to waste time following the recommended steps on the Apple help site to find that the problem is the new iTunes version.

Your article is for earlier version of iPods.

Ipod music missing after upgrading to 5.0 os

After upgrading to 5.0 os on my iphone 4 I have had several problems...
1. all my contacts disappeared and then started to reappear when I would open General > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then change the Sort Order and then change it back to what I wanted I did this like 3 times and then all my contacts were back
2. It keeps freezing while I am in an app, typing a text, doing just about anything
3. Alot of my music is gone, like the album work is there, the name of the song, the name of the artist but when you go to click to play it, it automatically jumps to the next song or it will play the next song on the list while still showing the other songs album work, title and artist
4. in the ipod the "play triangle" is always there, whether it is playing or not so to pause the music I have to hit the play triangle 3 times before it will stop
this is my problem list so far and I have only had the new os for 3 days....i am afraid as to what more time will show
as for now I am going to try re-sync my phone and maybe it will fix some of the quirks...i already tried a reset and it did not fix the problems...

IPod music lost after upgrading to iOS 8.3

I own a 5th generation iPod touch. When I connected to my computer the iTunes prompted me to update to the latest iOS available i.e., 8.3 and I accepted it. In the process it downloaded the software and restarted my iPod but somewhere in that process I got a prompt in iTunes stating a Unknown error occurred. I verified the iPod to see if the device is up and running. It showed the latest OS version 8.3 but to my dismay there were no music albums at all. All the songs which I had in the iPod prior to the upgrade were vanished.
I tried the restore option in iTunes which was backed-up just before the upgrade (automatically by the upgrade process), but looks like it only restores contacts, calendars etc but not the music.
When I connect my iPod to the computer it sometimes shows the space usage as if the music prior to the upgrade is still in the iPod. Even the Songs and other information are still shown in both the iPod & the iTunes. But when I play it will show exclamation mark against that file in iTunes and in iPod it just keeps skipping to the next song and nothing gets played as there are no songs at all.
Please let me know if there is any solution for this weird loss of data from iPod.

First get the songs to play in iTunes on the computer. Re Import CD music to iTunes or redownload iTunes purchases
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Then
- 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>Manage 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.

Music purchased on iPod touch--gone after synch w/ PC

Ive made some music purchases directly from my iPod Touch, 4gen. When I synched my pod to my pc, the songs disappeared. They are not in my iTunes music folder, they are not in the purchased on... playlist anymore, they are gone. I tried checking for available downloads, but it came up all songs purchsed where downloaded. I checked my purchse history in my account info, the 15 songs in question were purchased, I listened to them many times on my iPod before synching to my PC, but now they're gone. They're not even on my iPod anymore!
Help!

Ive been using this computer for 5 years, so yes, this is the computer my iPod has always synched to.
I tried resetting and restoring. Songs still aren't there. It's really frustrating, I've re-purchased 3 of the songs because they were for students to use in class but the other 12 I really don't want to buy again--I want them, I just don't want to have to spend the money on them for a 2nd run.

Itunes won't open, music gone after installing ipod/itunes software again

I was using itunes to purchase music and burn it to cds. I recently got a nano and tried to install the software last night. Now Itunes won't open, and I don't even see any of my downloaded music on my computer. It's possible that it's a problem with my computer, but we're also looking into the issues reported with Norton, etc. I should know more by tonight. My question is how do I get my music back if it was somehow deleted by this process? Obviously I've already purchased it, but I don't remember all the songs and I didn't have a backup.

You need to search your hard drive(s) and recycle bin for the music files.
Purchased music will always have a .m4p file extension.
Without a backup, if the files are gone, the music is gone.

IPod Touch reseting after iOS 4.0 upgrade

I upgraded my 32GB iPod touch Monday and noticed that if I am playing music and the screen has locked, sometimes I have to reset the iPod to get it to turn back on. So far it has happened about 5 times in the last 3 days, usually after listening to a longer podcast and then waiting 5-10 minutes before moving to something else. Is this a problem with the screen lock function, the home button, or some other issue? Obviously the home button functions, since you have to hold it down to do the reset and I can do that just fine, but could it be unresponsive for some reason after the screen lock function kicks in? Am I hitting the wrong button now to get the iPod screen to turn back on after the OS update? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Using your wife's laptop, you can do the 3.0 upgrade, provided she has iTunes 8.2. You'll need to copy the update from your machine to her laptop. The update on your machine should be located at C:\Documents and Settings\(account name)\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. The file name is iPod2,13.0_7A341Restore.ipsw You'll need to add the folder \iPod Software Updates to her laptop if it doesn't exist, then copy the update into it. You can then do a restore and it will load 3.0. From there, you can connect to your machine and sync your stuff back.

All iPOD music gone

Ok, now I am furious... after doing the updater and such, iTunes for some reason updated all my songs from Library to my iPOD, I saw it... took some time... now looking at my iPOD, there is nothing there! Gone! Dont know why it wiped out my music but now dont know how to get them back on the iPOD... it acts like updates are complete in iTunes... and some songs are not authorized to play on computer? and of course, none of my recently purchased music is dowloading... but at this point, all music is gone... <sigh>

All music gone after update to 4.2 !

After i updated to 4.2 Nothing shows up when I load the ipod app. It just says " no content".
It will take me awhile to re-download my playlists and 300 songs.

You know, I had the same exact problem. Updated my phone to 4.2 and left the house went to play music and it was all gone!!! I was so upset! Turned it off and on, Reset it, re-synced, and still the same problem. All the music showed up while synced but not with iPhone alone. Until!!! While it was synced I played a couple of the songs that appeared to be still in my iphone library. I then gave up thinking i would just have to restore to factory settings and just start over. but one last try and shock of all shocks my music reappeared! Dont know if it was just a fluke but I wanted to share the info in case there is something more to it. Good luck Iphone users! I hope you find some relief from your problems as I have

Music gone after update

I had music on my Ipod that was stored on my old computer. I updated my ipod from a different computer. Now all my music is gone. My old computer still works but it won't recognize my ipod. Any suggestions?
thanks,

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Also see:

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
NOTE:
You will have to backup the iPod to the old computer and then restore from backup since you can only sync with one computer and the updating computer is now your syncing computer

Ipod Not Recognized After iTunes 7.0 Upgrade

Hello
My 5th generation iPod was synching just fine with iTunes 6.0.5. Then, I upgraded to 7.0 and it's no longer recognized, though Windows sees the device just fine. I followed the troubleshooting steps at article 93716 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716), to no avail. I uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck. What a mistake, and my 90 of "complimentary" support ended a couple days ago.
I have a reasonably powerful system with adequate resources (1 GB RAM, 2.53 GHz, 120 GB storage - 50% free) and very few other services being loaded - only the basics. I installed with Antivirus, Firewall, Antispyware off.
So now I only have two choices - restore an earlier disk image backup, or reinstall from the original disk.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

I ran it twice for you. First result is after rebooting the computer with the iPod plugged in.

All music gone after update

After updating yesterday I clicked on iTunes and all my music is gone. No playlist. This happened a few weeks ago while using the old version. I took the laptop into the Geeks and they were able to find my music on my backup drive. They said they could not help me today because of the new update. I don't understand why this keeps happening. I have had iTunes for a while now and never had a proble.

You know, I had the same exact problem. Updated my phone to 4.2 and left the house went to play music and it was all gone!!! I was so upset! Turned it off and on, Reset it, re-synced, and still the same problem. All the music showed up while synced but not with iPhone alone. Until!!! While it was synced I played a couple of the songs that appeared to be still in my iphone library. I then gave up thinking i would just have to restore to factory settings and just start over. but one last try and shock of all shocks my music reappeared! Dont know if it was just a fluke but I wanted to share the info in case there is something more to it. Good luck Iphone users! I hope you find some relief from your problems as I have
