LOOSING SONGS AFTER DEVICES ARE UNPLUGED

LOOSING MY LIBRARY WHEN DEVICES ARE UNPLUGED?

What's missing are the specific details. I have no idea if this is on an external drive or where. Why do you keep on consolidating items? I can only guess you are doing something non-standard with using iTunes. I have had my iTunes library since before iTunes was iTunes (it was Soundjam) and I have lost almost no files.
If you keep media on an external drive you need to make sure the drive is on and fully mounted before starting iTunes.
Generally you can redownload past purchases. You need to delete the entry completely from iTunes first or iTunes will think it is still on a drive somewhere.

No sound after headphones are unplugged

If I'm talking on the phone with the headphones, then I unplug them and make a new call, there is no sound. The speaker works, however. If I restart the phone, it works again. Any idead?

I found that if you click the top right button (turning off the screen) BEFORE disconnecting the headphones then there are no issues with the internal speaker.

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
"USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
1. Reinstalled OSX
2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
1. Turn Power off.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
4. Wait 15 seconds.
5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
6. Turn Power back on.
Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, Some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds of play...

After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
Anybody else experiencing this issue?
I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...
AJ

Yes, other have. If the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

What Happens to Me after 6/30/12? My devices are not supported!!!

Yes, this has a lot of customers upset, but you can still keep your account active and going until you are able to address the issue with the current versions of your computer and devices.
iCloud does have a web based version like any other email address out there. You may not be able to access the account on your Computers or devices as you would like to for what ever reason, but this will help you to keep your email address and gain access to it.
iCloud: Supported system requirements
You can KEEP your MobileMe email address and move it to iCloud even though your devices are not compatible and here is how.

Before moving the account to iCloud. First create a MobileMe back up of all your data. This will ensure it has been saved to your computer.
How to back up MobileMe data:
Summary
You can back up your MobileMe data to your Mac or Microsoft Windows-based PC.
This is different from syncing with MobileMe: syncing should not be considered a backup of your data because changes to the data can propagate automatically.
Sync your MobileMe account to me.com and your current iOS device if you have one.
Make sure the data has synced to the device and http://me.com.
Then you will need to DISABLE MobileMe syncing from your Computer and Devices
On the iPhone
To delete your MobileMe account from the iPhone/Pad/Pod Touch, tap Settings ☞ Mail, Contacts, Calendars ☞ Tap your MobileMe account. Next, you will turn the sliders off for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks Calendars. You are going to be asked if you want to keep or delete the data from the iPhone/Pad/Pod Touch. Make sure you KEEP on the iPhone/Pad/Pod Touch.
This will prevent data loss.
☞ Then Tap Delete Account. DON'T FORGET TO KEEP THE DATA ON THE DEVICE!!!
On the Mac
Click on  ☞ System Preferences ☞ MobileMe ☞ Account tab ☞ Sign Out.
To Move your account to iCloud
☞☞☞☞IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BACK UP THE MOBILEME DATA AND TO SIGN OUT OF MOBILEME ON ALL DEVICES AS THIS CAN CAUSE POSSIBLE DATA LOSS DUE TO THE CURRENT OS YOU ARE USING.*****
Link: MobileMe: About moving to iCloud
Summary
If you have an active MobileMe account when you move to iCloud, you’ll be able to keep your @me.com or @mac.com email address and move your MobileMe Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, as well as your Bookmarks, to the new service.
Go to http://me.com/move
Log in with your FULL MobileMe email address including @me.com
(For @mac users, use @me.com just to log in. You will later see your account is @mac.com still)
As you go thorough the prompts, you will see an ALERT regarding if your OS is supported by iCloud.
Ignore this and select YES. This will contiue the iCloud set up.
Once it is done, you will have web access to iCloud via a supported browser (see below) for iCloud.

After purchasing the 9.99 plan and you decide that you do not want to use it anymore, do you use loose your photos? Are you able to save them your hard drive and such?

But all the adjustments that you apply in Lightroom, if you do not export to a rasterized format, will be inaccessible. You'll still have your catalog file, for if you want to re-inlist in the future, but it won't do anything for you without Lightroom. The same thing will go for Photoshop files like PSD, but obviously if you save to standard image formats you'll be fine.
It's one of the issues that keeps me away from the plan. Not being able to edit individual files in PS is one thing, but Lightroom is a photo organization system. I don't want to rent the system I use to organize 10s of thousands of files.

Suddenly itunes shows only 5 songs while there are 550 songs in my iphone. I suspect it started after upgrade to ios7.1.1

Izzy

When you look at Setting > General > About does it show 550 in Songs?
Can you add songs to your phone from iTunes on your computer?
I did an iOS update to one of the 6.X versions and it wiped out all my music and I had to add it back manually even though I has just done a backup to iTunes. Restoring from that backup didn't help. My music was all gone. But since then I have not had any problems with the updates erasing my music.

After ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

after ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

did uncheck all music and resynced afterwards. Got all my music back on the phone. Next morning, the phone had greyed out 1/3 of the songs all by itself. Seems to have something to do with syncing over wifi. No solution yet other than resyncing all my playlists one by one,
Combined with a battery that drained 5% every 5 minute before I reset the network settings, I am not impressed with Apple's premature launch of their new os. This is what beta testing is for, folks. The iPhone should be done with the growing pains. Shame.

I received an ipod touch 5th gen for Christmas. The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my touch have created ghost songs. They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play. I can't delete them

The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my new touch have created ghost songs. They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play. I can't delete them. I've tried unticking all the music that was on the ipod via itunes and re-syncing, which in theory should delete all music from my ipod. It does except for the 5 ghost songs.   So at present I have no music on ipod except the 5 ghost songs.   Has anyone got any ideas how I can get rid of these?
I had no problems with my ipod touch 4th, which I had for years.   Any help would be great.

Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

My ipad 2's battery percentage is stuck at 95%!!! Eventhough I charge 5 hours, it is still 95%...After that, I unplugged the charger, I use my ipad for 3 hours, it is still 95%!!!!! What's wrong is it?! HELP ME

You probably need to recalibrate the battery. See link below.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Outboard drive / loosing songs / slow performance in iTunes

OK- I have xp and I have 65,000 songs using up 400gb of a terabite drive.
I have iTunes on my C:/ drive and all the music on my (72000rpm) (E:) TB drive.
1) I get arbitary skips on playback. I have the itunes buffer set to large.
2)on launch of itunes I get nothing, re-launch, re-launch, re-launch etc... sometimes it will launch or I re-load a new itunes from the site and start over. I did do the set to headphones out so well see on that.
3) BIG THING is I need to reload the music all the time into itunes and I loose songs! down from 65,000 to 57,100??????
Any help would be great!!!

Biggest caution to be aware of when using external drive is to have it plugged in and mounted before starting iTunes. Otherwise iTunes defaults library to default location.
This doesn't help with issue 1. Playback from external is limited to bandwidth of your interface. If you are using USB, I would expect problems due to the bandwidth sharing nature of USB.
Issue 2 should be able to be avoided by making drive available before starting iTunes. Doing this I have never had library problems. I don't know what headphones would have to do with it. Why are you meaning with that?
Issue 3 is strange. I have only had to do this once and that was after program update.

IPod touch duplicates songs after updates

My I-pod touch duplicates some (not all) songs after every IOS update. The only way I've found to correct this is to restore my I-pod and then synch everything again; very annoying and time-consuming. This occurs even after turing off I-Cloud Match. Any ideas/suggestions?

The only solution is the delete the non-playing songs and resync them or redownload them. Sometimes some files on the iPod get corrupted during and update. You may even have to restore the iPod:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Not all my Devices are appearing, although wifi sync is on

Hello,
Not all my IOS devices are appearing in iTunes when I open iTunes.
this is annoying when I want to quiqly add a new downloaded movie/song.
If iTunes is open for a while, bit by bit, devices are showing.
Is there a way to force bonjour to search net network?
I use all latest versions (OSX, IOS & iTunes).
Thanks,
Waldo

Hey Waldo,
I understand your devices only sometimes show up in iTunes when attempting to Wi-Fi sync, usually after waiting a while. If you haven't already, I would run though the troubleshooting steps in this article:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing
