IPod Nano 4th Gen wiped when connecting to iTunes 10.0

Hey all
Don't know if anyone else is having this issue... my iTunes went crazy just now (recently updated to version 10) when I routinely attached my iPod. Got this message saying "duplicate file" something or other, and the thing wouldn't sync. I tried to reboot it and ALL of my music had been wiped. Fun. And after restarting iTunes it still wouldn't sync (the same error message just kept coming up). Not fun.
Eventually had to restore the iPod to factory settings just to get the thing to switch on.
Is anyone else having this issue??

I am having a problem after upgrading to iTunes 10, I get a message that my iPod 'is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Well....I cannot locate this other iTunes Library and know if I sync with the one that opens I will lose all my current songs.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen stuck in connect to itunes mode

    At first my iPod Touch 4th gen said that it was "iPod not eligible for requested build" as I was trying to update to iOS 5. SO I went on internet and looked up the error. It told me to do a manual restore. Now my iPod is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen and is not being recognized by iTunes: "iTunes could not connect to this iPod because an uknown error occured (0xE8000022)."

    *Forgot to say, What should I do, PLEASE HELP!
    Thnx in advance

  • Ipod nano 6th gen freezes when connected to usb.

    Hello.I have ipod nano 6th generation.When i connect it to usb it shows Connected screen and freezes until I do reset and nothing shows in windows or itunes.I dont know what to do,searching about 2 hours for fix.:(

    Do you know if other people have the same problem? Maybe your car (stereo) is incompatible with the iPod? Do you have to restore it or do you can use it anyway after a freeze? If no, make a reset before restoring it) I'm sure the cable/adapter isn't the problem.
    And with the "glowing center" - you mean the Apple Logo, right?

  • My iPod touch 4th gen does not connect to itunes

    Okay, so I never had problems with my iTunes until recently. Whenever I connect my iPod 4th gen into the computer, it connects and charges but doesn't show up in my iTunes. My iPod works and everything, it just won't connect to iTunes. I reinstalled iTunes completely like it said in support, and I have restarted Apple Mobile Device, several times. I have the current iTunes 10.4 too. Does it have anything to do with connecting my iPad 2 into the iTunes? Because it was fine up until I had done so. Also, when I check my services the Apple Mobile Device service is stopped when I connect my iPod. Before it, it says running though. My iPod will also connect to other computers, just not my own. All other computers have also not had the iPad 2 connected to it. Any thoughts? I would really like to sync my games and music to my library again, without having to go to my sibiling's computer.

    Did you try to create a new user account in Windows, set up your iTunes account, disable autosync and connect your ipod? Try to transfer your purchases and back up manually before your sync for the first time. And don't forget to set up at least one contact and event in Woindows, to ba able to merge contacts and calendars.
    If this works, try to do the same for your ipad. If still ok, you might have to remove all Apple related Software for your other account, as described here: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Did you also check your security software settings?
    Additional Information
    If the Apple Mobile Device Service still will not start, or if it stops unexpectedly, this could be caused by third-party security software. Please follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen stuck on connect to itunes and itunes doesn't detect the ipod. tried all options the wedsite gave me nothing is working

    I have tried everything that apple.com has told me. I have watched countless videos. I'm at a complete loss. I just want my ipod to work without destroying my computer.

    - 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 another cable
    - 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.

  • IPOD Nano 4th Gen won't connect to my computer

    I've changed the chord many times, i've uninstalled then reinstalled the real itunes, i've reset and put my ipod on flight mode but nothing works. The ipod will connect to every other computer but mine, my computer is a Windows HP w1907 and my ipod used to connect to it absolutely fine but then when i updated my itunes to the newest version, suddenly it won't connect which is really frustrating :/
    Please please help! Thank you!

    So you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • IPod Nano 4th gen music isn't in iTunes library

    When I plug my ipod in, it says it's syncing, but none of the music on my iPod is in my library.
    And if I sync, it wipes all the music off my ipod. I have 300 songs, I would prefer not to have to redownload the songs.
    Thanks!

    If none of the 5 R's help, that indicates a hardware issue with your device, meaning you'll need to have it serviced or replaced.  Some users with the same issue were able to clean the scroll wheel and repeatedly work through these 5 R's to revive the scrolling functionality of the clickwheel.

    You can choose to have it replaced by Apple for a flat fee or send it to a third party repair company.
