  • Ipod Nano lost all tunes

    My ipod nano lost all stored tunes whilst on the road and I have no idea why. Had to reload everything. What could I have done wrong? Or is there a glitch?

    1. susan your question does not pertain to this topic (1 album vs. all music)
    2. if you have a question post your own topic
    3. copy the album on again or look harder.

  • I lost all music after an update on itouch, how do i restore

    lost all music after update , how do you restore it?

    You can go to iTunes, and download any music tracks for free if you have already downloading them. Same goes for apps, go to the App Store on your iPod, Updates, and then Purchased. From there, download anything for free (that you purchased before). All app progress will be saved too.
    OR, if you have a reliable backup, you can restore from that.

  • 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.

  • Updated Ipod and lost all music

    Has anyone else recently update an Ipod touch using Itunes and then lost all your music?  That is what happened to my daughter's.  We updated to version 4.21 and all music was wiped out.  Didn't have all the music in our Itunes library so can't get it all back.  Anyone have a solution or is it gone for good?

    Music is always synced to the iPod from the iTunes libray after a restore or update.  It is not part of the backup that is made as the first step of a sync and update. Therefore, if you update an iPod and the music (and apps) that are on the iPod are not in the iTunes library, the updated iPod will not have that music or apps.
    If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes, you can redownload iTunes purchased music by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Did you confirm that you have checked Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings?

  • IPod classic displays 'No music' after sync, HDD problem? Geschiedenis • Verwijder  So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn't find any files on the iPod anymore. H

    So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
    I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
    I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi turingtest2,
    Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
    However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
    Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists?

  • Ipod Touch shows more "music" after sync than is on Ipod

    Hi,
    I received an Ipod Touch for Christmas last year, it's been updated to iOS 5.0.1 but no farther. Since December, the Ipod is showing that I have (currently) 1.4G more music tracks than are really there, but only after I hit the "Sync" button in Itunes. The "Music" bar goes from 47.6G to 49G, and usually will not drop back down after the sync is over, and the amount of "lost" data has increased over time. The Ipod itself says I have 47.6G of music on the device, not 49G. I manually drag and drop my tracks, I do not use automatic sync.Today I right clicked on the Ipod through Itunes, hit "Backup", and after doing the back up it showed 1.4G missing from the Ipod. Could the backup be corrupted?
    I can't figure out where this "ghost" data is going. I have downloaded podcasts directly onto the Ipod, I have cancelled syncs due to the "greying out" of tracks, I have deleted tracks off the Ipod through the Ipod - I don't know if any or all of that is cauing the problem.
    I hesitate to do a "restore from backup" as all the "music" on the Ipod are audiobooks, which I keep in the "Music" section of the firmware. I have read that the restore *may* return all my tracks to the Ipod, or it *may not*. As it's a 64G Ipod, that's a lot of audiobooks I will have to find on backup and reformat if the tracks don't return. Also, as I have no idea WHY it's happening, I have no idea how to prevent it from happeneing again. The idea of having to do a biannual reformatting of the Ipod to reclaim lost gig fills me with distaste.
    I have not called Apple as I have no idea if I used my free call or not, I don't have "Apple Care", and I haven't taken it to the "Genius Bar". I just thought maybe someone here has had a similar issue or maybe knows what's going on with the Ipod.
    Thanks for your time!

    the laptop is about 6 years old and runs a wobbly windows XP pro on 1,5 GB RAM (transfer speed is 0,5 GB/hr, not really an option) and the main PC runs Vista 64 4GB RAM.
    Same version of the same antivirus program, both are set to scan ipod only on demand. Exchange of drive letter did not make any difference.
    Neither port change or exchange of cable did make any difference until the latest itunes update everything worked fine (no other updates made around that time).
    After a complete deinstall and reinstall of an older version of iTunes - no change.
    Complete format of ipod and "let itunes find ipod to restore" - no change.
    Checked all involved drives and media - no errors - no change.
    Restore Pod on laptop and move over to main PC - no change.
    I'm getting rather frustrated as I simply cannot figure out what is the problem.
    The most bugging part is I use mostly audiobooks (audible format) so Songbird is not an option either as very few other programs have aa/aax plugins (which is the only reason I'm using iTunes). Last time I used the pod, I simply wanted to sync the library, no errors, no hiccups, eject and ... no audiobooks, no music, but 111 GB of other.

  • Lost all apps after syncing new iPad to macbook pro - HELP!!!

    I tried to sync my new iPad to my macbook pro. I got a message saying all my new apps I bought on my iPad did not transfer. I did the whole deauthorize/authorize thing and restarted to no avail. Now when I try to use those apps on my iPad they don't work. The screen flickers and the I'm back at homescreen. I spent a good amount of money on these apps. Help please!!
    I'm MAC OS 10.6.8 and the iPad is the latest running 5.1.1

    If it's apps that you've downloaded from the store that you're having problems with, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • My second generation nano lost all content after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. How do I fix this?

    I know that I have an old model, but I was happy with it. I have tried connecting to different computers in my house that have not updated iTunes and have not had any luch restoring to factory settings.  I restored the ipod by holding menu and select buttons, but that didn't work either.  I tried installing older versions and synching, but no good. I am out of ideas. My kids just tell me to suck it up and buy a new ipod.

    If might be helpful if you actually told us what the problem is.

  • If my  ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

    if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

    All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account.  I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
    *I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding.  You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum.  Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

    I have an ipod nano and would like to sync it to a new computer but when I try to do it, it tells me that i will loose all my music and pictutes in my nano to be replaced with what I have on itunes.  can anybody help?

    See:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
    BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

  • Ipod nano third generation: no music after sync.

    For sure.    Sorry I couldn't bring better news.
    You can find some pretty cheap repair quotes from 3rd party repair companies.  It might not hurt to look into it.
