Itunes wont let me update my ipod

I tried putting too many songs on my ipod and it told me there isnt enough room so itunes made a seperate playlist with every song in it (i forget why). so i left the playlist there, deleted some videos for more space and updated my ipod. everything was fine... i had all my songs at that point but my playlists were gone (the playlists were still in itunes)except for the one itunes made with every song in it.
i went into itunes and deleted that playlist and updated my ipod again. i found out later that it erased all of my stuff except for my photos.
now when i try to update it doesnt even try. it just says "songs on the ipod "my ipod" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
i dont see what the problem is
can someone help me out

while the ipod is plugged in, click on your Music tab.
you will currently have "Selected Playlists" selected. go through the list of playlists beneath that, and uncheck the one that you deleted from your iTunes sourcelist.

I have a very similar problem.
About a week ago I updated to iTunes 7 (7.1.0.59, if it makes a difference), and ever since then I haven't been able to sync the music I've put in the library onto my iPod. The syncing process will take place, but it will give me an error message immeditaly afterwards that says "The ipod "Garrett's ipod" cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and ureadable."
I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes (I had to, whenever I update my itunes I lose the capability to burn CDs unless I reinstall) and restored my ipod, both to no avail.
Can anyone help? I don't even know what that error message means.
Thanks a million.

I bought a new computer authorized it, and transfered my purchased items, but itunes wont let me manage my ipod through itunes, i.e. I cant arrange my spring board install or uninstall apps through itunes everything on the ipods apps page is unclickable?

I can't change anything on my ipod through itunes what might be the problem? I stransfered everything, I authorized my computer but I cant use the apps page on itunes all the apps inside the ipod picture and on the side are faded and I cant click on any of them, and I need it to arrange my apps in my ipod , since its much easier this way. any solution?

Because you changed your syncing iTunes library. You can only sync to one iTunes library. If all yur apps and music and other stuff in on your new computer you have these options:
- Restore from backup. Check the Devices tab in iTunes' Prferences to see if there is there. You can tell by name and date. If it is there then restore from that backup. If the backup is not there you need to go back to your old computer and move/opy the iPod backup to the new computer. That file is located:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
- If you do not have the backup all you can do is to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync everything from the new computer. You will lose app data.

You should be able to turn it off via one of the accessibility functions :
- Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch (should be towards the bottom of that screen) > AssistiveTouch 'on'
- that should give you a dark square with a white circle in the middle of it (it will fade to grey if it's not used ; and you can drag it around the screen)
- tap that circle and it should enlarge and give you 4 options
- tap 'Device' on that to open a further series of options
- press and hold the 'lock screen' icon (the padlock), and after a few seconds you should get the 'slide to power off' option show
Plugging the phone into power, either via its main charger or a computer's USB, should get it to power back on - it does with mine. Turn off AssistiveTouch

You need to add a valid payment method to your account. Purchasing and redeeming an iTunes gift card will work

I needed to reset my iPod touch because my pass code was changed and I didn't know what it was, but now iTunes wont let me restore it what do I do?

Please help me!! I needed to reset my iPod touch because my pass code was changed and I didn't know what it was, but now iTunes wont let me restore it what do I do?

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

What do i do if my iPod touch 4g wont let me update or download any apps?

what do i do if my iPod touch 4g wont let me update or download any apps and it keeps asking me to sign in to my apple acount?

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- I would also try signing out of your account and signing back in. Go to Settings>Store to do that.

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS. I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple. Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
Wait a few hours and then try again.

Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.
