ITunes corrupted music on iPod touch
I connected my 32GB iPod touch to the computer this morning and found that it immediately corrupted all the music on the ipod and made it inaccessible.
The normal screen came up to do the sync, but then the "Capacity" display showed 15GB classified as "other" (there are approx 15GB of music) on the device. On the device itself, when I tried to access music, it stated "No music". Attempting to re-sync failed as it said there was insufficient space on the iPod to store all the music (as it is just over half full).
I'm currently having to do a restore.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running iTunes 7.7 and v 2.0 of the firmware.
Hello,
I bought my iPod Touchy (because it is very touchy these days), 32G on June 12, and it was quite stable, a few crashes, but nothing serious until I installed iPhone 2.0, and I was very enthusiastic about the new App store, I purchased about a dozen apps, and installed a lot of free apps as well.
I have observed that the crash where all the music and videos go "poof", happens shortly after installing some new apps, or updating new apps. It starts with some apps, quitting a few seconds of touching their icons on the springboard. At one time, I shut down my iPod and rebooted it, and everything seemed OK. However, on Tuesday, three days later, I added a few more apps, and went to try them, and some apps crashed, and I rebooted again, and it did nothing to help. After rebooting, ALL the apps did not work and all the music and videos dissappeared. I was very cross after that. I spent the whole afternoon, restoring, my Ipod and it took at least 3 hours to get it back on its feet.
The problem seems to come from some DRM manager within the ipod that either crashes, or gets corrupted somehow upon sync with iTunes, which causes the music and videos to dissappear. I have an iPod Nano, and had instances when my purchased music wouldn't play, and had to resync to get it to play again. However for the iPod touch resync doesn't help, and a complete restore is the only solution.

Can no longer use itunes to put music on ipod touch?
I have an iPhone that I have no issues when using the itunes macch, BUT my iPod Touch I do not want to always have to connect to wi-fi to use music, on a run for instance, when there is n wi-fi available. I want to use iTunes like before wheree I connected it to iTunes and picked which music I wanted synced with the iPod and then the music was on there. Right now all I can do is see an option to download the music t my ipod when connected to a wi-fi network. I am on sattelite internet so I cna not going to use all my download allowance for something I already downloaded and just need to transfer.
Basically what I want to do is transfer whatever I want from Itunes to my iPod touch and then turn on iCloud for the rest that isn't on the iPod, so if I AM in a wi-fi area I can listen if I want, but if i am not in a wi-fi area I astill have some music that is on my iPod itself.
Please help! So annoying!! I love apple, but they need directions for these issues.
LyndsieYes you can use the music, but you cannot use the iTunes program to do it.
So:
Find the music files on your computer.
Make sure the audio format(s) are compatible. MP3 is a definite yes, but the iTunes favorite AAC is a maybe, and you will have to check what your player can handle.
Then, follow your player's instructions to copy the music to the player. For many players this means to just connect it and drag the file icons into it. -

IPod Touch Newbie: What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?
What is the purpose of the iTunes app on my iPod Touch?
All it does is connect to the iTunes store if I'm near a WiFi connection. It appears to be useful only for impulse purchasing of media. So why is it not named "iTunes Store"? It appears to have no other function.
Also, to listen to my iTunes music on iPod Touch I have to click on the Music button...not the iTunes app. What logic is that?
Also, iTunes has synced a movie for me, but I have no clue how to view it on the iPod Touch. It doesn't appear in iTunes on the iPod Touch, and there is no "Movie" button anywhere. What am I missing? I can't find it anywhere.For purchasing music, downloading podcasts,etc.

2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?
I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

Itunes messed up my ipod touch
i recently downloaded itunes on my new laptop. the 64 bit version to be exact. i been using 64 a long time ago and plugged my ipod touch in lots of computers no problem. this new version of itunes disconfigured my ipod touch completely, everytime I connect it, it tells me to "set up my new ipod" restore from a backup made?!?!?!!? and worse of all, now my ipod loses charge all the time. i would be more than glad to restore my ipod but my music is my home computer and im very far from there.
Any solutions to make itunes stop modifying my ipod touch???
btw nice one apple, thx on making faulty software.Could be the cable. Have you tried:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X -
My PC Harddrive died along with all the CD's that I have saved to the Itunes library. My IPOD touch has the library still so I would like to send the data from the IPOD to the PC to restore my library. Is this possible?
Yes, by using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC or Phone to Mac.

Itunes no reconoce mi ipod touch

Google translate:
itunes no reconoce mi ipod touch
y no funciona la musica ni las aplicaciones que vienen predeterminadas pero si funcionas las aplicaciones que le puse yo. que puedo hacer?
For the first problem try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
For the second problem:
- Reset your iPod
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore you computer via iTunes (after you fix first problem). First restore from backup. If problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -
ITunes 8: cannot detect iPod Touch
Hi,
Has anyone else had trouble getting iTunes to detect their iPod Touch since upgrading? My sync worked fine previously, but having upgraded to 8.0 this morning iTunes simply refuses to 'see' my iPod Touch. Windows XP still detects it (admittedly, now as a 'Digital Stills Camera'), but nothing from iTunes at all.
Has the Windows driver been changed in some way too? Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
Message was edited by: BitConfusedI finally got everything to work. I followed some instructions on another thread. I uninstalled 8.0 and all of it files then reinstalled 7.7. I followed his instructions to the letter. 7.7 was working fine. I then decided to try and update to 8.0. and voila...it has been working fine. No conflict with my cd or dvd and it recognizes my ipod. I am posting the other information below. Sorry I can't just link...I don't know how.
Good Luck
Bill
*_Here you go:*_
Hello, and welcome to the forums. For future reference, I'd recommend creating your own post so that way you can get accurate information quickly. If you'd prefer to downgrade iTunes rather than work out the issues with iTunes 8, I can offer you some insight. If you'd like to try to work out the issue with iTunes 8, I'd suggest creating a new thread with the results of your iTunes Network Diagnostics so we can take a look at what's going on.
To obtain your network diagnostics, click your Help menu and choose Run Diagnostics.
To downgrade iTunes, this is my (personal) recommended method. I upgraded 7.something to 8 and then went back to 7.7 on my Windows XP machine. (No real reason, other than to see if it could be done).
1. Remove all iTunes-related Software
Go to your Control Panel and open Add/Remove Programs
Remove the following:
-Apple Mobile Device Support
-Apple Software Update
-Bonjour
-iPod for Windows (it's OK if this doesn't exist)
-iTunes
-QuickTime
2. Make sure they're completely removed
Go to My Computer > C: > Program Files
Delete these folders:
-Apple Software Update
-Bonjour
-iPod
-iTunes
-QuickTime
If any or all of these folders don't exist, it's a good thing.
3. Delete supporting documents
Open up My Computer
Go to your Tools menu at the top and select Folder Options
Choose the round option button to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" and then click Apply, then OK
Go to C: > Documents and Settings > your username > Application Data
Delete the folder called "Apple Computer"
Go to C: > Documents and Settings > your username > Local Settings > Application Data
Delete the folders called "Apple" and "Apple Computer"
4. Prepare your library data files
Go to your My Music folder and open up the iTunes folder inside it
Move the following files to your desktop:
-iTunes Library.itl
-iTunes Music Library.xml
-iTunes Library Extras.itdb
-iTunes Library Genius.itdb
5. Restart your computer
6. Download & install iTunes 7.7
http://www.brothersoft.com/itunes-116719.html
-Click the "Download" button
-Click the "Click to Download" link (next to a server number)
7. Open up iTunes. It will walk you through the setup/configuration process. Make sure that you UNcheck the options to add media (MP3, WMA, AAC) files. Your library should be empty. Click your File menu and choose Import. Select the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" that was placed on your desktop in Step 4. This should put your library and playlists back together for you.
I did not have to re-authorize my computer for my iTunes store purchases, however, if prompted to, you can click your Store menu at the top of the window and choose "Authorize Computer." Once completed successfully, you can delete the iTunes library data files that were placed on the desktop, as they are no longer needed or in use.
Hope this is helpful
