So I decided to add some new cds to itunes, delete old music, clean up itunes so my ipod is more organized. I plug my ipod in, and I'm like okay..updating why is this taking so long?? I come back about 20 minutes later and the amount of songs in my ipod decreased it said. so im like ajghhgdjfkg not again?!!!! NO! so basically, when i updated my ipod, everything got deleted except like 100 songs, but what good is that.
I still have alllll my music on itunes, but it won't go back onto my ipod!! WHY? it does the little hold on symbol thing and says to wait, saying its updating, but its not. why won't my music go onto my ipod, and more importantly WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN EVERYTIME I PLUG IN MY IPOD?! last time it took like 6 hours just to get my music back on. HELP!

With the iPod connected to the computer, go to the File menu in iTunes and choose Transfer Purchases from (iPod's name)

You can't fix it. iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices. i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content. Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here. If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.

As per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

This file appears to contain the Vietnamese licence agreement for Adobe Illustrator; the special characters in its name prevent any standard method of deleting the file from being used. Run the Disk Utility from a Mac OS X 10.4 installation disk and use the Repair Disk option on your hard disk; when done, try deleting the file again.

ITunes deleted most of my music

Today I opened my iTunes and almost all of my music was not on it. My playlists are gone and I sycned my friend's iPod for her and that is gone too. The music is still on my computer but in all kinds of locations. Is there a way I can take what is on my iPod and put it back in the same order on my iTunes? I don't want to have to go through my whole computer and put all the music back on my iTunes. I may not find it all and it will take to much time. Thank you for any help!

Had you not synced your iPod the user tip Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device might have been more useful, but there are links in there which should point you in the direction of your purchase history.
This migrate iTunes library post gives you an idea of what you should have done. For the future keep a backup of your library and never delete the old library until you've proved the new one is working properly on the new computer.
If you've not done too much with the drive on the old computer since you deleted the media, then an undelete tool might recover most of them. FreeRecover looks like a promising free tool for this... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted from the iTunes folder that has a good integrity score.

Itunes deleted most of my music and videos!

HELP!
I was watching a movie in my itunes last night. It froze so I re-started my computer then iTunes started re-opening. It started by "verifying" something and I stupdily stopped it. Once iTunes finally opened it had deleted all my movies and most of my music (about 40G worth of music...)
The other weird thing is that my HD still has the same amount of space used on it.
Can anyone help?
I'd rather not re-load all my CD's again

How do I sync my old ipod to my "new" iTunes library without losing the music I already have loaded onto my iPod?

Hi, so I got my new computer loaded up with iTunes and I want to be able to move my music from my old iPod to my new iTunes library without losing any of the music I already have placed on the iPod. How would I do this? And please I'm not too savvy with the new iTunes layout and such so if you could make this easy in layman's terms that would be great.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased all songs in the iTunes Store, plug your iPod to your Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to transfer purchases.
If you didn't purchase any song or you have non-purchased songs from the iTunes Store, you have to use an application to transfer the songs to iTunes. Here is a list of applications you can use for that > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

ITunes deleting photos on iPod?

I have set iTunes to automatically transfer photos from My Pictures to my iPod.If ,in the meantime I have deleted a folder from My Pictures iTunes deletes the photos from my iPod.How do I prevent this?I don`t want masses of folders in My Pictures.
I hope someone can help.
I.B.

iTunes will "Synchronize" not just "copy" photos to your iPod: When deleting a certain folder from your PC it will be removed from your iPod, too - sorry.

PC Crashed-How do I get my music from my iPhone back onto PC?

My PC crashed a few weeks ago. I have had it reformatted and have reinstalled itunes. When I hook up my iPhone and choose "transfer purchases from Amanda's iPhone" it only pulls over a few random songs (and I have purchased many, many more). How do I copy my music off of my iphone onto my PC?
Thanks!

ITunes deleted all my purchased music from my iPod

I just got back from vacation and hooked up my iPod and suddenly I got messages that my purchased songs weren't authorized (this is on the one and only computer I have ever used for my iPod).
After entering my username and password, it used up one of my 5 "other computer" authorizations. Now, I just added 1 GB of RAM, so maybe that's it, but this is bullcrap.
I'm glad I've only bought 42 songs and I can tell you that I won't be buying anymore through iTunes anytime soon. I'll stick to CDs from now on.
As usual, DRM hurts the paying customer and does nothing to stop the pirates.

I don't understand what you are upset about. If you had deauthorized your computer and then reauthorized it would have fixed you problem without losing an authorization. But you've only used 2 and have 3 left, and you can cancel some when (or if) you hit 5.
Are you planning on leaving them in your will or something?
Why are your songs gone from your computer? If you only needed to reauthorize this will not delete them. Have you tried a search?

Help deleting stuff off iPod

I just bought the Nano 4GB today.
I DL 2 CDs to iTunes (26 songs) and when I plugged in my iPod, it downloaded over 1200!!!
Besides the 26 I wanted, I got about a dozen just from the iTunes site (which I did not want) and the rest seem to be sound files from somewhere off my hard drive (from a MMPORG - little 1 and 2 second things like that).
I searched the forum and saw a post that said go into itunes, uncheck what I did not want and plug in the iPod again and it would update (taking off/deleting the ones I did not want). That didn't work. They are all still there.
any suggestions?
I really would appreciate the help. I am not very technical, but was assured anyone could use one of these things, and I don't want all that useless garbage cluttering up my iPod and using my memory.

Nothing happened. All that stuff is still on the iPod.
Open iTunes prefs -> iPod and select Update checked songs only.
Instead of checking/unchecking songs, it's easier to create a playlist and put the songs you want on it, then iTunes prefs-> iPod - Automatically update only selected playlists.
I just want to get rid of all the stuf fon there except the 26 songs I actually downloaded and wanted.
Is there any reason you only want 3 songs on an iPod?
The other thing is it put them into all the lists on the iPod (albums, artists, etc.)
It's supposed to.
Every song on the iPod will be listed under Music -> Songs.
They will also be sorted by Artist, Album, Genre, Composer.
This is to make songs easier to find, instead of simply by title under Music -> Songs.
Want to listen to Elton John?
Go to Music -> Artists -> Elton John and press Play.
Want to hear Ride the Lightning?
Go to Music -> Albums - Ride the Lightning and press Play.
Want to hear Rock?
Go to Music -> Genre -> Rock and press Play.
The purple Smart playlists will automatically pick songs based on certain criteria. This is from the info in the ID3 tags.
For example, the 90's playlist will pick songs released in the 90's.
Go here to get the basics -> iPod 101

ITunes deletes everything from iPod Touch when I try to sync.

This has happened to me five times now, and I am incredibly frustrated. When I start to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes, instead of actually syncing it deletes everything from my iPod (music, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.; apps and other data aren't deleted). I have over 30gb of audio on my iPod, so it takes longer than 12 hours to get everything synced back up again. This first happened to me right after I upgraded to iOS 6, so I thought it was just a bug, but it has happened four times since, and three times in the last four days. I did a factory restore of my iPod last night and then synced it all night, and then iTunes just erased everything off again when I was syncing it again this evening.
Moreover, when I attempt to sync again to get my music back, iTunes only transfers some of my library. And each time I cancel the sync and restart it, the number of songs transferred over decreases. Sometimes soft resetting the iPod fixes this problem and allows the entire library to sync, but last time that wouldn't do the trick, which is why I tried the factory reset. It's still happening though, as I'm trying to sync right now and it's only showing 1500 of my 8000 tracks.
I have an iPod Touch 4G running iOS 6 and am running iTunes on Windows 7 32-bit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar problem with my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 (Win7 64bit). When the first beta of iOS came out, I used the restore trick to load it on my phone without a developer license. I knew what I was getting into. This problem happened about 4-5 times through the various beta releases. When iOS was released to the public, it would not let me upgrade to it, so I had to DFU my phone to get it on the final release and restore a backup. Fine, but now I was on the official release. The problem has occurred twice now since then.
I sync my phone daily as I have a lot of playlists that use the "Last Played Date" attribute. I will sync my phone and the next time I go to play a song, all my music is gone. It is very intermittent. To fix, I have to uncheck all my playlists in iTunes, sync. Then recheck my playlists and have it readd. Like OP, I have 35-40GB of music, so it takes a long time to have to re-add everything.
I originally attributed this to a bug in the beta so I dealt with it. Now that I'm getting the error on the final release, its a bit more annoying. My wife has a 4S as well (Vista 32bit) and she has not had this issue.
