ITunes 7.0.2 crashes and delets iPod

I have my iTunes Library on an external HD. When I'm not at home, I'd like to listen to Music, connecting my iPod (last generation b&w, 40GB) to my PowerBook (so I don't have to wear headphones all the time). Since I've installed iTunes 7, it always crashes when I plug my iPod in. Furthermore, it once deleted all the songs on the iPod and once deleted the content of some playlists. I usually have automatic synchronisation activated when I plug the iPod in and then I deactivate it to listen to music.
Anyone an idea?
cheers

When I plug the iPod in with the option "manually manage music" checked, the iTunes does not crash immediately and I can listen to musik from the iPod. But after 2-3 minutes, however, iTunes crashes again ...

My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist. However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder

My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist.However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder?

Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
Good Luck

Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

This is really frustrating. Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect. To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod. This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well. It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify. To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored. Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight. I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

Why is my Firefox 4.0.1 crashing and deleting my browsing history and bookmarks?

This is the third time in the past month and a half that my Firefox 4.0.1 has crashed and deleted both my browsing history and my recent bookmarks. It seems to delete up to about a week's worth of information.
In the past, my Firefox browser would crash, but it would at least retain my last entered information (but that was the older version of Firefox); so this is something entirely new. I updated to 4.0.1 about two months ago, hoping that this would be better, but these random, information deleting, crashes are driving me crazy! I'm hesitant to download the new 5.0 version for the fear that these crashes will get worse...but mainly because I love Hypertext too much and I don't want to lose it to the upgrade.
I had read that one of the options to identifying the problem is to post a crash I.D.; however, when I searched for my latest crash reports, it doesn't show either of the two crashes that concerns me. So I'm even more curious to what this problem might be. I can tell you some of the key behaviors before it crashes:
* It begins to lag (slower than snail pace).
* It's almost impossible to click from one tab to the other (even if I only have two tabs open).
* My comp's physical memory spikes.
* The browser window will sometimes freeze and shut down the whole program, but this time (today), the window closed on its own.
* When I'm forced to close Firefox from my Task Manager, sometimes I actually have to restart my computer before I'm able to use the browser again.
* The crash happens randomly. I haven't noticed a crash pattern based on websites that I visit.
I hope someone can help me. I would really like this remedied. It just sucks having spent so much time bookmarking research material, just to have all of it wiped away without a reason.

Try to update to the latest Firefox 12.0 version.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/gfx.color_management.mode
* https://developer.mozilla.org/En/ICC_color_correction_in_Firefox
Caveats: The new QCMS color management system introduced in Firefox 3.5 currently only supports ICC version 2 color profiles, not version 4.
You can set the gfx.color_management.enablev4 pref to true on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to enable ICC V4 support in Firefox 8+, but that feature is not yet fully implemented, so there may be problems in some cases.

Now I don't know what to do.
Thank you very much

Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane. This brings you to the Summary tab. Locate and click on the Music tab. What configurations do you have made from under this tab? Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

Can I transfer music from my iPod touch that was originally burned from CD's or does it only transfer music purchased from Itunes? My computer crashed and I lost all of my music?

My computer crashed and I lost all of my music. I have music still on my Ipod touch but a lot of it was originally burned from CD's onto my computer. Is there any way to transfer this music back to a new computer or will I need to re-burn each individual CD again to get this onto the new computer?

- iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one fo those discussed here:

Re-installing iTunes after computer crash and syncing Ipods

Our computer recently crashed, and needed to be completely wiped out and reset.... unfortunately our tech was unable to back-up our music files. I have all our music saved onto my iphone and an ipod nano....
So now that I had to re-install itunes, and each ipod can only be synced to one library, does this mean I have to erase all the songs on our ipods, and start from scratch??? Or is there a way around this?

Restore the iTunes library from the backups you were keeping regularly of your computer.

ITunes changing the ID3 tags and deleting music after syncing or opening

After syncing (or opening iTunes), iTunes changes the tags in about 25% of my music (this time it was about 90% affected). It removes the total track number on some of the songs. This has been a consistent problem. I noticed that it also actually erased some of my music, random tracks in my library are now missing (gone in windows explorer also). I have reformatted my iPod and restored it, it's not that. What is going on!! Going through and fixing 7500 songs every time I sync is ******* me off
Here is a picture of what it is doing: removing the total track on some songs
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/jupiterssj4/itunes.jpg
Forgot to mention that it also copied the artist field data to the album artist field... had to erase all of those too

Mine is doing the exact same thing. It happens every time I click on a song. Weird letter-number strings are inserted into the Comments field, my album art is gone, and the track numbers are messed up.
I've tried upgrading to the new iTunes. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I turned off my soundcheck option and deleting potentially comprised files. Nothing's worked.
I've tried emailing Apple directly and got no help. Anyone know what's going on???

Iphone4 crashed and deleted all apps

i have a 2 month old iphone 4 with the latest software update. last night i installed the app "Canon Cadets", during the install it crashed/rebooted the phone, when it rebooted, all my apps (apart from the default iphone apps) were deleted. i tried rebooting the phone a few times and they did not reappear.
i hadnt sync'd it with itunes before the crash.
i tried syncing it today and of course it couldnt retrieve my lost apps. but it was saying in itunes that i have 2.6GB of "other" data space taken up (so i reckon all my apps and saved data is still in the phone, but not showing up)
i have installed many many apps before and never had this happen.
today i tried to install a paid app, and luckily the itunes store remembered i had previously bought it, so it let me download it again for free. i then spent a while remembering all my paid apps and installed them all again for free.
now i have all the apps again, but it has lost all my gamesave data from everything, although the BSkyB app had remembered my account details when i reinstalled it!
i am a bit annoyed that i lost all my angry birds gamesaves, i had 3 stars on all levels and all golden eggs.
also itunes is now showing that i have 3.61GB of "other" data on the phone (i.e. apps) but i know i have only 1GB worth on the phone - so there is 2.6GB of app data still on the phone somewhere but its not showing it (and it means i now have 2.6GB of wasted space thats gone into oblivion)
is there any way of retrieving the lost gamesaves, and clearing off this 2.6GB of wasted space?
the phone is on a UK vodafone contract and only 2 months old.

Same here and it is ******* me off. I was in the middle of playing we farm and then it crashed and when it showed me my home screen I noticed all my apps were gone. Here I am trying to figure out what the **** happened so I rebooted and turned the phone off but nothing.
I then synced it iTunes and only one app was reinstalled but the rest remained "hidden."
As you mentioned, I also see that I have 4.1GB of other data on my phone and know that it is the missing apps. Problem is how do I get it all back?
Using phoneDisk, I went into the iphone's root folders and tried to locate these apps. I found them and notice that all but one was marked with a censored image or an error image. Tried to open them but my mac could not, it opened the native and one app just fine (using xcode and iPhone dev kit) but rest were treated as foreign extensions.
I have many backups since I like to have at least monthly backups but I am still concerned with the "other space." If I were to use an old back up to restore my phone would the space taken by other still remain?
This is a first in my 2 iphones I ever owned, lost lots of data and I don't know what directly caused it.

Quicktime crashed and deleted my video file??

I trimmed a clip with quicktime and tried to iMessage it. Quicktime crashed and took the file off my camera. How do i retrieve it?

This happened to me as well. Trimming in Quicktime Player, hit Share to upload to Vimeo and Quicktime Player crashes with a "can't create file" message. After force-quitting, I notice that the ORIGINAL file (that had been captured with Blackmagic Design Media Express) has been DELETED!! This is a major bug. I spent a good 30 minutes trying to figure out where one of my video files had gone and ended up re-capturing it only to have this happen again.

My computer Crashed and deleted my itunes and now it won't let me sync

So my computer crached and obviously deleted everything and once it was fixed i redownloaded itunes but it wont let my resync my origional ipod to this library because it says its still connected to the other library and i can't figure out how to put the songs from my ipod to the itunes because they were all deleted when the computer crashed. So I need help. please?

Not for free, no. Well I guess there is. Don't sync your phone. We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.

My computer with my itunes crashed and my ipod no longer works. I purchased a new ipod and would like to download my music but I am unable to

My computer with my itunes crashed. I can no longer use that computer. My ipod no longer works so I bought a new one. I would like to download my itunes that I have but I don't know how to get the information onto my new ipod.

Your itunes purchases for music, etc are tied to your itunes account - any computer (up to 5) can be authorized with your iTunes account information. Enter your iTunes account name and password in the iPod - you don't say which version of iOS is on your iPod so more details can't be given until knowing that.

ITunes crashed and deleted my in-progress download

So I was downloading the latest episode of "Avengers: EMH!" Season 2. The download was on the brink of completion, and then suddenly iTunes crashed. No big deal. So I went back into iTunes and my episode wasn't there. "Uh oh," I thought. So I went into the "Downloads" folder and there it was in a temp folder, ~700mb. After attempting to move it into the iTunes library, the file suddenly vanished into oblivion without a trace, and didn't appear in my library. So I figured I would have to redownload it, but it won't let me because it thinks I already downloaded it. What do I do?!

Disregard. I found a way to get it through the iTunes Store under "Purchased". It's a pain having to redownload the entire **** episode again... but it works.
