  • Itunes has deleted all my songs from ipod

    Hi, I recently tried to update my ipod which had 1,780 tunes on it. My itunes has a library of 2,500 tunes. When I tried to listen to my ipod later it transpired that I had only one tune on it. Itunes had deleted all my songs, my itrip entries, playlists, everything. I have Windows XP and a 4G 40GB ipod.

    Sorry I've been offline for a while. I updated iTunes and the new songs were added in the new one. There was a dialogue box that came up saying something like "songs not saved to library you don't have authorization". I clicked on the box. Checked library and all songs are there but not on ipod. Have updated all ipod software too.
    Just noticed that I have some songs in C drive and some on D. My main itunes is in D.

  • Sync has deleted all my podcasts! ?

    While my main MacBook Pro was being repaired, I downloaded many podcasts to my older, standby machine (a MacBook G4) and sync'd them to the iPod Touch, which has latest upgrades. When my MacBook Pro was fixed and I sync'd the Touch back to the MBP, all the podcasts were deleted from the Touch. The MBP runs iTunes 7.6.1 (9); both MacBooks are running 10.5.2, all latest upgrades.
    two questions; is it possible to get the podcasts back w/o having to download them to the MBP, and how do I prevent this from happening in the first place? The podcasts are still on the older G4 MacBook. Many thanks.

    All songs and 3rd party applications should remain in your iTunes library on your computer.
    Is this the same computer you have used to transfer all iTunes content from?
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content from another computer, all iTunes content that was transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided indicating this will happen.

    Hey Mr_M_J_Simmons,
    Thanks for the question. It may be necessary to re-create your iTunes Library, as this may salvage your previous playlists:

    Have you been regularly backing up? Time Machine is only available on Mac, you will see it in the applications folder.
    You can also reload music

  • My iPod has deleted all its music (not synced to itunes)

    Hi,
    I just updated to the new iTunes and my iPod has deleted all its content.
    My iPod is not synced to my itunes or laptop, so I just manually put it on.
    Has my music been lost? If so, can I get it back? Anyone know how it deleted by itself!? I was uploading music, ejected the device and when I went to play music there was nothing on it.
    Thanks

    An iPod has a hard drive inside. Like a hard drive in a computer, it can have data corruption that cause files to be lost. It is really not wise to keep music and other media on the iPod without it being backed up on the computer. You can easily break or lose your iPod, or the iPod could have data issues like the one your experienced.
    The cause may be a hardware problem. It can also be data only, which means using Restore on your iPod may make it work properly again. The only way to know is to use iTunes to Restore the iPod, which will erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software.
    Going forward, you should store your media on your computer and sync it to the iPod. Additionally, you should back up the valuable data (and not just iTunes data) on your computer.

  • Syncing Iphone and Iphone has deleted ALL contacts from Outlook - Help!

    I have on many occassions synced my Iphone without issue.
    This time syncing the IPhone has deleted ALL the contacts on the hone and WITHIN Outlook.
    Can I regain the lost contacts safely from the back up?
    I have over 300 contacts and don't want to have to copy them all in manually.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Cheers

    Restore the missing contacts file on your PC from your PC backup.
    Or, it you've backed up your iphone to icloud or itunes, you can try performing a restore of the iphone.

  • My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?

    My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?

    WINDOWS?
    Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
    In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
    In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
    Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
    Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
    Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
    And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
    might be out of date worth a try

  • ITunes has stopped updating this podcast...

    I'm curious if anyone has a fix for this ACTUAL iTUNES MESSAGE:
    "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast becasue you have not listened to any episode recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
    It seems crazy to me that iTunes would just stop updating my podcasts because I haven't listened in a while. It would be just as ridiculous if Tivo stopped recording TV shows because I haven't watched them in a while. It doesnt mean I dont want to listen/watch in the future.
    APPLE: FIX THIS!

    Apple, count me as another user who wants you to do something different here. I would prefer to simply get a message that I haven't listened to a podcast in a while then not have it being downloaded. Especially now with advanced subscription settings that let us change the subscription on a per-podcast basis, this behavior should be changed. Maybe it's already in the queue?
    Suggested change:
    Just warn with option to stop warning, but always continue to download as per subscription settings.
    I have a number of podcasts that I'm "subscribed to" but I don't listen to as regularly as they are published. However when i'm going to hit the road, I want those episodes there, especially on my ipod. I don't want to have wait for them to all update!

  • HT2905 itunes has duplicated all my imported songs and not the albums so cannot use your solution

    Itunes has duplicated all the songs of my library; how can you get rid of duplicates the quickest way possible knowing that I can't use
    the suggestion to delete albums as they are the songs and not the albums which have been duplicated.

    The script still works as intended whether you can pre-filter for duplicates or not. As of right now there may be an issue with some of my scripts if the library is displaying available iCloud purchases. Untick Edit > Preferences > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases if the script bombs complaining of missing object properites.
