IPod Update Ruined my iPod/Missing Songs

I recently decided to update my iPod, but ever since I did, my iPod won't turn on, charge, and my computer won't recognize it. I've tried resetting it, but it just beeps, then sits there with the backlight on, but nothing else happens.
Please help!
Jack
P.S. Also, I've noticed as of late that about 100 of my songs from iTunes aren't on my iPod and I can't seem to figure out why. I've tried putting them on playlists, and when my iPod is docked, the songs show up as already on my iPod, but when it's not docked, they're not there.

This quote from the original posting ("I've tried putting them on playlists…") sounds as if the playlists are in iTunes and for the instance of the songs that is on the computer's hard drive rather than for the instance of the songs that is on the iPod.
Connect your iPod to your computer and then launch iTunes.
In the Source (left) pane of iTunes' window, you should see an icon for your iPod. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the that icon, and see what items now display below it. Those items are the ones on your iPod. The items that are flush to the left side of the Source pane are on your computer's hard drive, instead.

  • Ipod missing songs after update

    I never should have done this but when I updated my itunes recently and left auto-sync on. Plugged my ipod in, itunes takes the next 6 hours trying to update my ipod with 40 gigs of music. It was able to do it, and it shows all songs as being imported successfully when i look at my ipod library plugged in to itunes. However, when I unplug my ipod and use it, I only see one song from each album. Some albums are complete but very few. Also, now I can't restore my ipod when connected to itunes to try to reload all of my music. Any ideas?

    All of my songs show up on my computer library and are all playable. I've tried restoring to factory settings and even after doing so, I encounter the same problem.
    Update though: when I plug my ipod into my car, it can play all of the songs though I can't see them when scrolling through the ipod library. It seems like they're "hidden".
    I never get any errors, just can't see about half of my library.

    apple update erased my playlists, they are no longer showing on my iTunes. I am missing songs that do appear in iTunes and should be on the ipod but are not, and new playlists that I didn't have are now where mine should be. Any suggestions as to getting "MY" ipod back?

  • My ipod 4th gen gets wiped clean of music anytime I sync. it then only redownloads some of the music in the library and wont upload missing songs.  They show on the ipod grayed out. How do I get this to stop? re-uploading takes 4 hours.

  • After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play

    After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer).  When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod.  Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.

    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Try unsyncing the sone and then resyncing. That works sometimes. Sometimes restoring from backup works. Other times nothing seems to work.. Yuo are not alone since iOS5 and iTunes 10.5/6.

  • Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

    Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

    Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library.  For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

  • I had to restore my computer. After reinstalling itunes and sincronizing with my ipod, the music files were not organized in itunes as in the ipod: some songs were missing, some albums has no cover? Why is the sincronization not working properly?

  • After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.

    Is the "software update" for iTunes 12?  Or something you did to the iPod?

  • Ipod updating and deleting all my songs

    hi
    i have a ipod 30gb video now i have had it for a while now 2 months or so it recently asked me if i wanted to update my ipod i said no since i heard it would delete all my songs so one day i plug in my ipod and it just updates it and deletes all my songs without asking me or anything has anyone else had this happen? I think a couple of thigns are wrong with this. First of all surely there is a way to update it without deleting all your music
    itunes should ask you about the update and inform you that the update will delete all your songs
    i know i probably should have kept a backup of my music but i didnt expect it to just delete all my music without asking i dont have much disk space i so deleted my music when i put it on my ipod so has anyone else had something like this happen?

    Your post is a little confusing, assuming that you use the word "update" as in update the software and not update the songs.
    Updating the iPod software does not delete the contents. The iPod software cannot be updated without you first running the iPod updater and clicking on "update". I does not do it itself.
    How do you transfer songs from iTunes to the iPod? Automatically or manually?

  • Did OS update ruin my iPod Touch?

    Since updating the OS on his iPodTouch last night, the iPod is no longer recognized by any computer and only shows the screen showing it needs to be plugged into iTunes. I did that but iTunes and my PC never recognized that the iPod was plugged in. Did the update ruin my iPod???? Does Apple repair/replace in these instances?

    Hello,
    I`m sorry to hear that your Ipod has been wrecked and needs to be plugged into Itunes. I will try my best to help with your problem!
    Try the following things:
    -Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 sec. or until Apple Logo appears
    -Did you try connecting it to a different computer? Maybe the computer doesnt recognize it, but maybe another computer might?
    -Restart the computer. Sometimes this happens to me, it says plug it into Itunes, and then I do, but it pops up an error message. I just restart the computer, then it works again.
    Hope that helps!
    If the above things do not work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution.
    Thanks,

    P.S. I updated my Ipod Touch, 4th generation to IOS 6.0.1 on Wednesday January 30th,2013.
    No problems have happened yet, since the update.

  • Updated IOS and iTunes now songs are greyed on iPod Touch

    Hello,
    I've searched all over for a resolve to this problem. I've tried everything from removing all my music from my iPod, wiping my iPod, to removing quicktime and iTunes and reinstalling. However the issue still persists.
    The Problem:
    About a month ago I ripped an album and attempted to put it on my iPod. All the songs showed up, but only the first song was playable, the rest were grey on the iPod. I chalked it up to a user error on my part, no big I could fix it.
    About a week ago I tried to add another album to my iPod, same story, all the songs show up, but only the first in the album is playable. I removed both albums at this time, and did a sync. After doing the sync A LOT of my songs wouldn't show up. Usually just the first song in an album would be playable, the rest grey. After my restore, and iTunes delet/reinstall my iPod doesn't even get that far. I think I'll have about 15 songs out of 3500 that are playable.
    When I go to the music tab in iTunes under my iPod the songs that don't transfer have a little grey circle with arrows in it next to them. Not sure what that's all about...
    I know that they songs are getting to my iPod because in the summary in iTunes it shows I have 23 gigs of music.
    I'm using a 4th Gen iPod touch, newest IOS and newest iTunes as of Saturday, November 17th, 2012.
    I'm at a loss right now. I go from having ALL my music on my iPod to next to none.
    So, what's the fix?
    Thanks,
    Jacob

    That didn't really fix the issue. However I did half way fix it by deleting all the music in my iTunes library, then adding them again. Not sure what was going on, but it's fixed now.
    Thanks!

  • When ripping a CD to iTunes to sync to iPod classic, songs are not listed in sequence.  Some are missing only to find them further down the list

    When ripping some CDs to iTunes to then sync to my iPod classic, songs are not listed in proper sequence.  Some are separated from CD and listed elsewhere, what gives??

    You probably have you Itunes music set as list and not as albums. Go to view at the top of Itunes and check as albums.

  • I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

    I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them. How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
