IPod Touch changed all music files to other
I'm using a 2nd Generation 16GB iPod Touch. My friend was playing with it yesterday, and he played with it till the battery was completely dead. I turned it on briefly and I looked at the music and I noticed that only one song was in my iPod, Hot for Teacher by Van Halen, a song I had bought earlier that day through iTunes from my iPod Touch. Normally I have over 6GB of music on it.
So I plugged it into my PC to charge it and such, and when I started iTunes and looked at that bar that tells you how much of each type of files you have (music, video, photos, apps, and other) I saw that I now had over 6GB of other and around 5MB of music. I think that my iPod somehow messed up when my friend used it till the battery died, and changed all the music to "other" except that one song.
So guessing this, I synced my iPod with my computer. I got all the music back on it, but now there is still 6GB of "other", and my iPod is nearly full. I want to know how I can remove all that "other", I never had 6GB of it before.
Thanks.
That much other indicates corrupted data on your phone. The fix is a restore in iTunes. Here are the instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414. iTunes will reload your songs, etc after the restore.

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please
The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google. -
for some reason when i download all my music from pc to ipod 7gen classic they become other files. it will not let me load any of my music to my ipod. most are from cd i got or stuff i order from itunes. not sure why it makes all music files as other files when done. if i where to reconnect it to computer. itunes will only show ipod classic with 75 songs. so i do not see 3822 items i have on itunes. it just show only 75 song out of 3777 songs that ipod 7gen classic says as other file. so why does show all songs as other file on ipod but when ipod hooked to itunes it show only 75 song i can not play on ipod or 3777 other songs which are called other file.
Thanks. I'm not an IT person and needed that lead.
In the end, I just printed to Adobe PDF and then was able to use the commenting options (once I had flattened it). For those who might come across this - this is one of the only ways to flatten a XFA PDF. -
3rd Gen. Ipod Touch Access To Music On An External Hard Drive
Wondering if anyone has heard of or experimented with getting your iPod touch to access music files from an external hard drive. I have a 3rd gen. 64gb touch that is full and even though I love the storage capacity of the iPod Classic, I would hate to lose the touch functionality by going to one. I listen to the majority of my music while on the road for work. What I imagined in my head would be to transfer my music libray to a portable hard drive and have my Touch connected to it where it could access it. I know you can transfer your music library to an external hard drive connected to your computer and have iTunes access it but wasn't sure if the iPod would be able to do this.
It doesn't seem like Apple will ever increase the size of the iPod Touch beyond 64gb since it looks like everyone is pushing music streaming. I guess I'm one of those people who want their music anytime and anywhere without having to have an internet connection.
Thanks,You can get a HD like this. It uses wifi to and an app to access the HD

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs. I don't want this to happen I want the I pod songs to sync with iTunes. What do I do?
That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups

My iPod Touch is te 4th generation with iOS 4 only... The desktop that it used to connect with was broken and I couldn't update my iPod touch as all content is linked to the iTunes on that broken PC. What should I do?I don't want to erase all my music recording. (couldn't back up easily...) my dairy, my financial record made on apps...
If I got a new Mac book pro soon, would it helps backuping everything?awesome121, he does not an an iCloud account. You need iOS 5 or later for iCloud and the poster said he has iOS 4.

On my Ipod touch 4g all of a sudden all my music sounds as if they were slowed down. What's wrong with my audio?
You need to turn off the Zoom accessibility feature. Tap the screen twice with three fingers to get to normal screen. Then go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn Zoom off. You can also do that by connect the computer to iTunes and going to the Summary pane for the iPod and go to Configure Universal Access.

7.0.2 How to view all music files on iPod
I upgraded my iTunes version on my Mac and now I am having some issues deleting songs off a playlist. Basically I have a podcast playlist and then I just have all my music dumped on the iPod not on a playlist. After I had finished listening to a bunch of the podcasts in my podcast playlist I would click on the iPod device in iTunes Source Tree and then I would see all music files on my iPod including podcasts. I could then delete them when I am ready. Now with 7.0.2 if I click on iPod I get the new fancy display showing my iPod Stats and stuff. If I click on my podcast playlist and delete the files it removes them from the playlist but they still actually reside on my iPod and no space is freed. How can I remove files off my iPod now in 7.0.2? I had iTunes 6.0 on a Windows machine and I was able to actually get the files off using the old version but I don't have access to this Windows machine too often so I really want to figure out how to remove files off a playlist permanently and gain access in iTunes to remove any files not associated with a playlist.
Hey thanks for replying. That is the way the old iTunes did it but now any songs I move to my Podcast playlist I don't see show up in my Music category. I was using clicking on the chevron for Music but it still doesn't show any new files placed into my Podcast Playlist. If I sort by date added or modified I can't find them. If I search thru all the songs I still can't find the podcast files. I have an old 3G 20GB, I wonder if it is an issue with them because I can't believe nobody else has this issue.

after ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play
did uncheck all music and resynced afterwards. Got all my music back on the phone. Next morning, the phone had greyed out 1/3 of the songs all by itself. Seems to have something to do with syncing over wifi. No solution yet other than resyncing all my playlists one by one,
Combined with a battery that drained 5% every 5 minute before I reset the network settings, I am not impressed with Apple's premature launch of their new os. This is what beta testing is for, folks. The iPhone should be done with the growing pains. Shame.

I just want to know if you can get all of your pictures back when you update an ipod touch?
All of your music, apps, photos, videos, etc, should reside on your computer, not just on your easilly stolen,, lost or damaged prtable device.
A normal update, or even upgrade, restores all your settings and data from the backup thats created at the start of the process. Even if something goes wrong, you can sync back everything from your computer. -
Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function. Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?
Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.
