Losing video on ipod during sync

Hi; i encountered this problem a couple of times and wonder if there is a way out.
I copied a video to my ipod touch (4G) and when i was doing a sync it disappeared. I later realized i had deleted the video off my computer so during the sync it wiped out the copy on my IPOD.
Is there a way to avoid this.
I now have a video clip on my ipod and i know i already deleted it off my computer. I would like to recover it from my ipod but i think if i do a Sync it will disappear just like the other one.
Any ideas. Thanx in advance.

Your new computer probably wiped out the photos while attempting to sync with the Nano since it did not see any of the photos on the Nano that are now on your computer. They were probably synced to your Nano in the first place during a normal sync to add music, etc., but it didn't add the full photo it added a thumbnail that can fit the tiny screen of the Nano. Even if you had been able to get them from the Nano they would have been the size of the Nano screen in iPhoto.
Can you not recover the originals from your PC?

Lost photos on iPod during sync?

I have an iPod Gen6 (based on the photos & process of elimination) 8Gig, Version 1.2PC. It was my replacement when the first gens were recalled/replaced.
When I went from a PC to an iMac about a year ago, somewhere along the line, a large number of older photos that were in my EasyShare on the PC ended up on my iPod. I really am not sure how. I have been trying to get them OFF the iPod and into iPhoto. I researched and attempted to sync using the instructions I found for utilizing "enable disk usage" on the summary screen in iTunes for the iPod.
Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod - Apple Support
When I attempted to IMPORT nothing happened. When I tried EXPORT, it wanted to take the photos out of iPhoto and put them on the iPod, which was the opposite of what I wanted. I performed a sync, choosing the option to sync to iPhoto.
What I got when I synced, was all the photos I had in iPhoto being exported to the iPod and all the photos that were on the iPod wiped away.
My husband is convinced that the photos that were on my iPod are SOMEWHERE in my iMac b/c they had to come from somewhere to be on my iPod. I'm not terribly Mac savvy but I am very careful to not "delete" or "move to trash" unless I'm sure of what I'm moving/deleting. I found instructions regarding restoring an iPhone to a previous date, but the restore option for the iPod doesn't allow for a date, only factory settings.
The really weird part is, I would swear those same photos were IN iPhoto at one point but somewhere along the line they disappeared too!
Is there some way to find those photos or to restore the iPod back to a different date? Yesterday would be OK.
I hope this question makes sense, I admit I'm pretty upset and frustrated.

Purchased Video but Ipod not Syncing with it?

I purchased a music video and had no problem syncing it when I first purchased it. I have since bought a new laptop and when I try syncing my 60G Video iPod, it imports all of my previous videos with the exception of this one. I can see it in my iTunes list and view it there but can't get it on to the iPod.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Jeff

Weel, I finally discovered what the problem was. It seems to have occurred a mistake while syncing two computers with .mac. Apparently, instead of reinitializing all informations from one of them, they were simply erased and, while on one of the computers my calendars did appear (the one I was syncing the iPod, too), they were a sort of 'ghost' images. So I had to reinitialize again, and then tried to sync the iPod. Now the calendars are displayed correctly on both, and the sync preferences on iTunes are correct, too. Hope this can help somebody.

Losing information of music during sync (Mac - XperiaS)

Hi guys,
I have this problem from 3 weeks now, when i try to sync music between my Mac and XperiaS, i lost some info of the songs (cover art, artist, title) and the title has in the name the number that has in the allbum (01 Yellow Flicker Beat).
It's a mess, i have all the songs in order of album number and with no artist. Can't imagine to edit all of them on the device.
What can i do?

Hi,
I recently started using Sony Bridge for Mac to transfer music from my iTunes to my Xperia Arc.
However, after transfer music to my phone, I discovered that some of the music I had transferred was not in the folder of that artist, but in a folder marked "unknown artist". I have tried deleting the files from my phone and readding them, but still the same thing happens. On my iTunes, all these songs are in the correct folders and even on Sony Bridge with Mac the songs are under the correct artist but, once transfered, are placed in unknown artist.
Hope someone can help

HT1386 Why does it not bring the playlist from the computer to the ipod during syncing?

I cannot get the ipod to bring the playlist from the computer to the ipod

Maybe this:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

Disk could not be read from or written to during syncing to iPod touch

Hi there,
I just got the iPod touch 16gb. When I try to sync videos to the iPod, it will ultimately stop and give me the error about disk not be read from or written to during syncing. In addition, when the iPod charging battery logo and the whole screen for that matter go blank, iTUNES displayed an error message of Device has timed out. Thus, I have to close and reopen iTUNES to sync new music or video files. This didn't happen with my iPod video 30gb. It seems like the device times out so quickly. It is annoying. Anyway, please offer any suggestions. Thank you.

I'm having the same synching problem. It looks like file size is a factor. Most of my music library transfered over ok, but only after I de-selected podcasts and videos.
The movie file I'm testing with is 1.2 GB. It gets about 7/8's of the way, progress stops, and then a dialog opens saying that the disc can not be read from or written to.
When moving just music the Touch consistently gets through 263 songs (2.38 GB) of 275 songs (2.70 GB). It seems to miss the long audiobooks.
Interestingly my 1st gen 2 GB Nano is also having the same error "can not be read from or written to" when I synch my podcasts. In disc mode I can copy over the 1.2 GB movie no problem.
Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to stick some movies on the Touch.

On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
Thanks in advance for your help!

With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

I went into my desktop PC the to Start/My music/iTunes folder.
In my folder there was nothing called ITunes Library.itl., but I had file called iTunes Library, in the center of it labeled "Lib", so I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl.backup" Then went to the folder from iTunes" Previous iTunes
Library" and copied and pasted mine was iTunes Library 2011-04-02 right into the iTunes main folder.
Close your iTunes folder and then install the previous ver. 10.3 of the Apple link. I did not reboot PC. Did not use Cc cleaner nor add/Remove. then after 10.3 said finished installing 10.3 I clicked on my iTune Icon and iTune came up, iPod not plugged in yet.
Then I clicked on "let iTune to find all my music and install them", said towards bottom of iTunes.
Why we don't have the answer but iTune will put all your music in but you will have duplicates of the songs, so you will have your work cut out for you, takes time. plus some of my Artwork was missing, but I save that too.
I'm not Responsible for this instructions, this is what worked for me.
I think everything here is in order. Lot of my information came from all of you guys.Thank you. took a lot of reading, and trial and errors 2 1/2 day latter.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

ITunes won't sync videos to iPod (no "Movies" tab in iTunes either)

Hey... I really hope you could help me somehow, I'm really desperate..
So few days ago I was able to sync videos to iPod 30GB and everything went well. When I added some more videos to iTunes and connected iPod in order to sync those videos everything stopped working. All of my music and pics are still in the iPod, but videos are gone completely. There is no "Videos/Movies" tab in iTunes (iPod actually) nor "Images" tab... How can fix this??
Thnx for your help...

I'm suspecting that you don't have the video iPod. Although your iTunes supports video, there is absolutely no reference to video on the iPod portion of the screen. Also, there's no Photo tab and no Games tab.
Further, the iPod software version number is completely out of whack. The latest version for the Generation-5 iPod is 1.2.1 yet you have 6.0. Finally, your serial number doesn't look quite right. I have absolutely confirmed that that is not a serial number for the "late 2006 Generation-5" unit but I can't get sample serial numbers from the earlier Gen-5 units.
Go here and determine exactly what you have.

Some video podcasts won't sync after using iPod to move music to new comput

Hi -
I used my iPod to move my music (and podcasts) to a new computer (from a PC laptop to a Mac Pro). Now when I try to resync it (on either computer) some video podcasts are not synched from iTunes to the iPod. In some cases, all podcasts from the same subscription fail to sync; in other cases, some podcasts synch and others from the same subscription don't. All of the podcasts that fail to synch are video podcasts.

yeah i'm having the exact same problem so thought i'd up this rather than start a new thread. for me, one particular video subscription won't sync at all, and another is fine apart from three videos. particularly annoying as it took an absolute age to actually download them, and now they won't sync.
anyone got any bright ideas?
