Latest Itunes update does a restore to your Ipod and wipes out everything
The lates update did a restore to my ipod and wiped everything out pictures, songs, downloaded games, EVERYTHING and needless to say I am OURTAGED should have been a warning to tell you that this would happen!! All of my songs were not stored in my library because i did not want to overload my pc with music, and a lot of songs i got from friends. and the pictures were priceless NOW ALL OF IT IS GONE and theres nothing anyone can do to replace it I THINK THAT ITUNES SOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB OF LETTING CUSTOMER KNOW ABOUT THIS! SO TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN BURNED BY ITUNES DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UPDATE!!
SIGNED MAD AS THE DICKENS IN VA.
You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer, you can add them to your iTunes library. Then, with "everything" in your iTunes Music library, you can sync to the iPod without risk of losing any songs.
NOTE: For any songs purchased from the iTunes Store, you can also re-download them at no cost, using the iTunes Store Purchased screen. Be sure to log in using the same Apple ID used for the previous purchases.

Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?
Hey there longislandmacca,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:

Look for it to pop up next to the iTunes Store icon. Also check out the article below to troubleshoot your iPod nano connecting to iTunes.

I recently had trouble updating my itunes, when I did do it I kept getting an error message and because of that I had to uninstall everything than reinstall itunes. But since then my iphone, ipad, and ipod are not really syncing correctly. My PC says its going through the steps and applying everything but when I got to my phone nothing is updated at all. Nothing is being applied and I did the run diagnostics as well and it said that everything was fine. When I got what is on this phone it says the playlists are on my phone but when I go to the music app on my phone the playlists aren;t there at all. I've gone through all my settings on my computer and iphone and they are all what they should for the songs to transfer correctly and it still isn't working.
So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu). -

Did latest itunes update (10.6.1) now album art and video showing as white square
Friday night (30 March) had itunes update. I was adding music to my ipad at the time. Completed the update and finished transfering my music. When i opened the music app most of my album art was gon. Even art that was there before the update was now gone. I tapped on the artist and each album showed no artwork. I then went to video and all those were white boxes as well. They showed a screen shot previously. Anyone know why or better yet how to get the artwork back for music as well as video? This happened on both the original ipad and the new ipad.

Latest iTunes update does not have an 'OK' button in preferences
Hi
I have the latest version of itunes installed on a Samsung NC10 with Windows 7. I have gone into Preferences and I can change all the options but there is no 'OK' button on the 'General' tab which means I can only close it down with 'X' button and therefore non of the Prefereneces have changed.
Is this a problem any body else is having? Or does somebody have a solution?
Thanks,
JamesIt should have one ... here's what I see with it:
Does your NC10 have at least 800 for its vertical display size? (If not, the ok and cancel may be displaying below the bottom of the screen.) -

Latest iTunes update; iPhone sync takes a long, long time
I have a 64GB iPhone 4S, up to date with latest software. I have iTunes running on a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista 64-bit SP2; running latest update of iTunes.
I am currently doing my second iPhone sync to change out a bunch of music since the latest iTunes update. I have tons of records, and I like to switch up the tunes quite a bit. I love the 64GB iPhone; holds over 500 albums.
Both, the first time and now this time, the sync is taking forever. Seriously, as I type this the sync is now past two hours and looks to be about 60% done.
Prior to this update (both iTunes and phone), the sync took maybe 20 minutes, Nothing else has changed; same computer/operating system, no bugs or viruses. The only thing I think it can be is this latest update to iTunes; which, by the way, dumped all my albums when the update was done. I had to add all the folders again; that took a while and a lot of album covers were lost. Big pain in the butt, basically.
I don't know if you Apple people are listening, but this is eroding my confidence in your brand. Will I spring for a MacBook like I was planning? Hmmm...No solution - just the same problem.
My wife's 4s (iOS 7.0.2) has been hanging at syncing Contacts on iTunes 11.1 (iMac; Mountain Lion) the past several days. It never gets past "Syncing Contacts".
Doesn't anyone have any advice. I've hard re-booted her iPhone; re-booted the iMac.
We don't have this problem with either my iPhone 5 (7.0.2), her 2nd-gen iPad or her old iPot Touch.
We share the same contacts and calendars across all of these devices and the iMac. -
HT1926 Problems synchronizing iPod touch after installing latest iTunes update
After having installed the latest iTunes update I can't sync my iPod touch with iTunes anymore. Error message reads: Attempting to copy to the disk "Acer" failed. The device is not connected." I already re-installed iTunes completely. Another error message says: "iTunes could not back up the iPod because the iPod is disconnected". But the iPod was connected. What can I do?
Temporarily disable any security software on the computer.

My iPod does not update it self in iTunes. I click on the "update the latest version for your iPod" and it fails. Please help me.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

the latest itunes update on my vista laptop brings up R6034 runtime error - after rebooting - uninstalling - reinstalling i have NO itunes access. please correct in your updates. there are others with the same error message thank you!!

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -

Hello Dave,
Sorry to hear that your iPad is currently not recognized by iTunes. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:

After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync. When I run diagnostics it says no device connected. My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected. I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work. I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version. The older version would not reconize my music libray. Any thouhts?

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
