Ipod self-erased all music and won't download it again from itunes!!!!

Help! I was updating my ipod with some new songs, and it came up saying that I had exceeded my limit (even though I hadn't) and that ipod was going to make a folder of all my music and call it "harriet's ipod". All well & good- clicked Ok. Then I realised that it hadn't stored any playlists or ordered albums etc so I deleted the "harriet's ipod" folder/playlist from itunes and now my ipod is blank!!! And it now doesn't let me update any songs AT all as it says that there are no playlists, even though there are on itunes... please help!!!

  • How to re-enable Manually Manage Music and Videos without erasing all music and videos

    I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 8.1.1 and iTunes 12.0.1.  When I updated iTunes recently to the new version, 12.0.1 it unchecked the Manually Manage Music and Videos option on my iPhone's summary page.  I just want to re-enable this feature without having to spend the time re-installing all my music and playlists.  Is there a way to enable this feature without erasing my music and videos?

    I've gone from auto-sync mode to manual management before, and the music, playlists, and videos which on the device from auto-sync are not removed when changing to manual.

  • Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

    Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
    Any suggestions very welcome!

  • I want to reinstall an app fresh install from iTunes not from my iCloud, I go to manage storage I stop backup and delete app by turning green button off, but when I ask to download it again from iTunes it is only downloading it from my iCloud. help?

    I want to reinstall an app fresh install from iTunes not from my iCloud, I go to manage storage I stop backup and delete app by turning green button off, but when I ask to download it again from iTunes it is only downloading it from my iCloud.
    Please assist
    Thx

    You don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
    You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
    However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
    fresh account as well.

  • Can I Erase all Content and Settings without Plugging my iPad into iTunes?

    Is it possible to run a full factory reset on iPad running iOS 5.0.1 without plugging it into iTunes?
    Yes, I do realise that iOS updates can be performed now without iTunes on ios 5.0
    Has anyone ever performed an "Erase all Content and Settings" without the use of iTunes lately (with iOS 5.0 or later)

    Yes - you can do a full factory reset without using iTunes.
    I have never done it, but what you are saying is exactly how you do it. Erase all content and settings and then restore using iCloud. Read this article and it explains it. It is pretty straightforward.

  • My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

    my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

    If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Podcasts there.  This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
    Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing.  Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired.  For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts.  The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below. 
    When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs...  Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod.  If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

  • Itunes erased all music and now wont sync

    I was syncing a song to my iPhone like I always did, and then when I checked my iPhone, the song was all distorted with no vocals. When I played it on iTunes, the song was fine. So then I tried to sync it again, and the song wouldn't show up on the device. So then I tried syncing again and iTunes erased ALL my music. Everything's gone yet it says it's there. I checked on the memory space and it shows the same amount of GB left it had when I had all the songs in. But they won't show up on the Music app. Now every time I try to sync, it starts transferring purchases which took 30 minutes for 40 apps and now only says that it's transferring 18 apps.
    Wth is happening with iTunes and my device? How can I fix this? It's really annoying

    Mine did the same thing!!! I lost all of my music and my playlists and nothing shows up on my phone. It's getting really annoying and I wish someone would explain what the heck is going on.

  • Putting music and video files that I purchased from iTunes onto the creative z

    For my birthday i got a itunes gift card and i bought music and video files with it but when i import it i cant find the music files in the folders they should be and the video need a directshow codec on the zen vision m so how do i put the codec on it and find all the purchased files?I need these files on my zen!

    Find that sadistic friend of yours who bought you the gift card and beat him into submission with a dead trout.
    Seriously, due to iTunes' file being locked with DRM and being in a format that is incompatible with the Zen, the only thing you could do is look for underground/illegal methods to remove the DRM and convert the file into unprotected MP3. Due to the illegality of the issue, I cannot provide instructions (that, and the fact that iTunes won't let me buy music from them because Malaysian money isn't good enough for them, therefore I haven't actually tried). But I can say that What-U-Hear is a pretty innovati've solution . Apart from that, Google is your friend.Message Edited by RAMChYLD on 09-02-2007:59 PM

  • Music and Video Content Disappears After Transfer From itunes

    Hi
    I am experiencing a very strange issue so I hope someone can help or has at least experienced this themselves.
    I have my iphone set up so I manually manage/sync music ans content. For the last 2 weeks everytime I transfer music and video to my iphone it disappears after I eject the device from itunes. When transferring the content this works as expected and I can see the tracks being transferred. If I then go into my music library while the iphone is still connected to my laptop I can see and play music on the iphone.
    As soon as I eject the device (in the recommended way) my iphone music library shows no content what so ever it has vanished. If I then reconnect the iphone to itunes, on the iphone summary screen it seems to show there is content on the iphone as the GB capacity bar is filled up with whatever I have put on their but no content is visible on the iphone.
    Interestingly if I download a podcast or music directly onto the iphone this stays on there.
    This is driving me mental has anybody else experienced this and if so know how to fix it?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I'm having the same issue and haven't found anything on how to fix it other than restoring my phone. Won't be doing that. Hopefully this bumps it back to the top and someone will have an answer.

  • Please help!! my iPod won't download the songs from iTunes!!

    When ever i try to update my iPod this message pops up and says
    "Attempting to copy to the disk"iPod" failedyou do not have enough access priviledges for this operation.iTunes could not save to your music folder because you do not have write access.Check the permission on your music folder and folders in your music folder, then try copying this file again."
    There is this lock at the bottom of the screen by where is says the amount of space used and amount of space avaliable. i think if i can get that to go away it will work again, but i don't know how to get it away.
    I've tried many things. if you can help it would be appreciated!!

    That padlock icon simply means that you have the iPod set to automatically transfer music from iTunes. To remove it, you need to set your iPod to manual transfer.
    Has this message always been displayed, or is it a recent occurrence?

  • My iPad won't download my video from iTunes

    Sometime ago I purchased Amaratine by Enya.  There was a music video called May It Be.  This is the song from the movie Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring.  Lovely tune.
    A short time ago, a different video of the same name but a 16 minute documentary showed up on the iPad 2.  Now the original video will not download and I cannot think how to get it on my iPad.
    Does anybody have a fix?  Thanks in advance.

  • IPhone has deleted all music and won't sync it back??

    I tried to sync a new CD onto my iPhone, and it would not appear on my phone. When i clicked on the 'Music On My Device" tab on iTunes, the songs were in grey with a circle next to them.
    I then tried to play a pre-existing song on my phone, but my if i click on a song, it gets wiped from my phone! (It is not totally deleted, but is written in grey with a circle next to it). So all of the songs on my phone have deleted themselves, and iTunes will not sync them back on.This does not affect Purchased songs.
    I hoped that the iOS 8.1 update would have fixed this, but alas it has not. Please help!
    (I sync my phone onto a mac, which is updated with OS X Yosemite, 10.10)
    (I have an old iPod touch which has iOS 6. something, and it is not affected by this problem- i have synced it fine)

    I work in an office that is behind several concrete walls and gets very poor signal.  Everyday I will lose my cell signal and when going back outside I am unable to reconnect to network without either turning on/off airplane mode, or turning phone off and on.
    Took phone to Apple store, along with video of problem, and was given a new phone.  Problem still exists and was told to set up phone as new iphone.  Again did this and problem still exists.  When leaving office phone shows edge service and the bars litterally bounce from 1 - 5 and the "E" will turn into a circle like bullseye back to "E" and then just keeps doing this till reset.
    Never an issue with 4 or 4s.  About ready to say to heck with iphone and move to the dark side with an android Galaxy S3.
    Also have had issue when entering elevators at hospital.  THis can be a huge issue as I am a firefighter/emt and all calls come across our phones now.
    Any ideas from anyone....apple has been less than helpful

  • Three iPods... all dead and won't charge

    I need some serious help. My 30Gb iPod, 2 weeks old, won't charge. My daughter's 2 month old 2nd gen Nano won't charge. My son's 11 month old 1st gen Nano won't charge. I have become quite proficient in managing the iPods. I have had to do a few resets on my 30Gb, but that's it. However, beginning yesterday, none of them will charge.
    I have 2 AC chargers (Apple, of course) and 3 different USB cords. I have 2 Dell Dimension desktops, both relatively new and up to date on all Windows updates. The computers would recognize my son's iPod yesterday (but not my 30Gb or my daughter's Nano), but it wouldn't recharge via the USB cables.
    I alternated all 3 USB cables on each computer, as well as the AC chargers. I tried 5 different AC outlets, and tested the AC outlets by charging my cell phones on them. I also tested the USB connections on my desktops by charging a digital camera.. no problems with the camera.
    My son's 1st Gen is the only one that shows any signs of life. It will infrequently flicker and say something like, "Please wait, low battery". Yesterday, it would say it was charging, but it never charged up and it eventually ground itself down into this sad state.
    I have no clue as to what happened with mine. It was well protected in my purse, about half the battery charge left, when I last used it. I pulled it out yesterday to update via iTunes, and it was so dead the computer wouldn't recognize it.
    Daughter was listening to hers yesterday, and the battery discharged. It's been dead ever since.
    I have all the latest Windows updates, reinstalled iTunes, and tried every reset option known to man. I don't know what else to do at this point, and I REALLY hate to package up all three of them and send them to Apple.
    Any suggestions? Help!!!!!
    Dell Dimension E510 (2)   Windows XP Pro  

    I had the same problem with my old original iPad 1.  I read somewhere (maybe even in this forum) to try a 12-watt charger.  I bought the Apple 12-Watt power adapter on Amazon for 19.95 (also available at Apple stores for the same price) and plugged that iPad in today and it IS charging and everything on it is accessible!!  I am amazed and thrilled!  I wasn't optimistic with this fix, but it sure worked!  You might want to try it, too.  BTW...everything is still there..no restore needed.

  • ITunes losing all music and won't redirect to correct folder

    Hi there,
    This morning, iTunes has lost all my music. The whole library has the little exclamation mark. Using the 'Find info' comand, I can see that iTunes is looking for them in the music folder of my internal drive. However, they've always been kept on an external drive, and when I redirect iTunes to an individual track in it's correct location, and it asks me if I'd like to use the location to find the other missing files, it fails to correct the location of the rest. I am getting this message: “iTunes was able to find 1 of 18083 missing files.” Rather frustrating...
    I'm using iTunes 10, on OS 10.7.3
    I have the correct iTunes media folder indicated in the advanced preferences tab.
    In case it's relevant, I'm also syncing with a new iPhone 4s, which I've only had for about 3 weeks, though in terms of audio, I only sync recently added albums + podcasts.
    And an additional odd behaviour that I noticed this morning was that in my iTunes Media folder, outside of the Music folder,   several artist folders had appeared, each containing an album folder and one or several songs from that album, the rest of which were all in their normal locations inside the Music folder, minus the tracks in the newly-appeared folders. All very odd.
    Thanks for any help,
    Emma

    I have finally solved this issue.  Here is the solution:
    1. Open iTunes
    2. Select Music
    3. In the upper right hand corner select Albums.
    4. Under "All Albums" highlight the first album, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, hold down the shift key and select the last album.
    5. All albums should now be selected.
    6. Place the cursor over one of the albums. Press with 2 fingers on the trackpad to bring up the menu.
    7. Select "Check All"
    8. Congratulations - no more grayed out songs and they will sync now.
    9. Go into your iPhone sync and check the songs you want to transfer and click the sync button.
    I hope this helps you to resolve your issue.

  • I updated my itouch 2 gen and it erased all games and won't let me download them again

    I have a 2 gen itouch for my son. I went to update it and now I've not only lost everything that was working fine on it, I'm unable to download anything from the app store.

    Sadly the ios on the 2nd generation ipod touch is to old to run todays apps. It's ios stops at 4.2.1 and you need at least 4.3 or higher. My advise any apps that are still on it don't uninstall them cause you will never get them back. I have a ipod 2nd gen I got from a co-worker I have only 4 apps that aren't default apps. I use it mainly for videos from my itunes library and music. To have the apps of today you need on the outside a 3rd gen but perferably 4th or better yet the 5th gen. The 3rd gen might be able to have a few of todays apps but you are safer getting a 4th or 5th.
