Lost Downloaded tracks on ipod.

Got to work this morning to find that all the downloaded tracks from itunes on my ipod have dissapeared. The band/artist and track titles are still there but no music plays. All the music I've downloaded from CD on my itunes is intact and still there. Any ideas anyone?

Might be a corrupted hard drive on the iPod for some reason.
Try a reset, but if this doesn't help, you should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes.

How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod. It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.

I lost my iPod and want to know if wireless I can downloaded find my iPod

If you turned on Find My iPod on your iPod Touch before it was lost, then you can go to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account and locate it as long as it is connected to the internet (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442). If you did not turn this on before it was lost you will not be able to located it using Find My iPod.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

How Track Missing Ipod

My son's Ipod is missing (have serial number) - is there a way to track via I-tune downloads or is there any way of tracking this other than I-tune?
Thank you/Ernan

THere is no way of tracking the ipod that was missing/lost/stolen please follow the steps outlined
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300066
You can only report it to the local police and hope that it is recovered. Nor is theft covered under the warranty for the ipod.If the stolen ipod is not recovered then take it as a lesson and keep the new one near you at all times.

Why can't iTunes track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes?

I was wondering Why, if your iPod is stolen, iTunes cannot track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes.. I've had my iPod touch almost a year now and it is registered in my name and everything. This past weekend someone somehow got into my car while at a concert and stole my purse, my ipod, my friend's ipod and wallet. I didn't think to file a police report because I figuered there would be nothing they can do. Since, a lot of people buy and sell iPods all of the time from one another instead of from a store. I thought to let it go, but it keeps haunting me, someone has access to a lot of my person information. This hit me when at work, I was using Pandora internet radio, and someone deleted all of my radio stations and added their own. They are still using it till this day and I have no clue what to do, I've changed my password to Pandora even. I know it's being used via my iPod from my Pandora app, I regreat not downloading the new ios5 on my iPod... So, I really have no further idea of what to do. I contacted Pandora in hopes they could change my account password or delete it or something, I just hope they haven't used any thing else important. I really wish it were possible for iTunes to track an iPods Serial number when the iPod is either synced to iTunes / iTunes store.. If it were possible, I wish they could help me out and at least lock my prior iPod or hopefully delete everything from that.. I don't have much hope in this though :/

Thanks for the suggestions... tried tehm but no luck so I've taken it back. I think I'll try a Samsung (only other ones I've found with a Sleep Function) and move to Audible instead of iTunes. A shame after years of iTunes use but I shouldn't have to spend days getting a product to work. Thanks again.

Ive tried almost EVERYTHING and i still cant track my iPod that was recently stolen. Ive called apple been all over the website and still no way of tracking it. What are some other ways!?

Only the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

How do i limit the number of simultaneous downloads to my ipod touch?

I just purchased a new ipod touch and want to dump my entire icloud library onto it. I figured the easiest way to do this would be to make a smart playlist that includes all my music and then just download the whole playlist (thousands of songs). The problem is, at about 2/3 of the way through a track, the ipod touch automatically starts downloading the next track. At this point, it's trying to download about 50 tracks simultaneously and as a result is taking abotu 5 minutes to download one song. How can I limit the number of simultaneous downloads? Is there a faster way to load up a new ipod touch with your icloud library? Thanks.

Thank you for the reply. I had no idea I had so much access to Firefox prefs.
It's still a strange design though. Yep, the original setting was set to 30 simultaneous downloads. I set it to four, which would see to make my Mac more usable as four downloads are rolling while all the rest are in queue.
Only probably is, Firefox doesn't just think of what is in the download list as a "download". Once all four downloads are rolling, no more webpages will open! (Strangely, sometimes they will, but very slowly ... but usually not at all.)
Apparently, even a browser tab is a "download" and is stopped once the assigned number of simultaneous downloads is reached.
So I'm still back to not being able to limit my downloads for the benefit of having good use of my browser while downloads are coming in.
Right now, one pages where I have boo-koo downloads I want to initiate at one time, I'm clicking "download", starting the download, going to the downloads list, pausing it, getting another download, pausing it, and so on until I have a complete queue ready to go. Then I start the downloads once I know that I no longer need the internet.
That seems sort of for the birds, doesn't it?
Does anyone have any suggestions? Other specialized download programs get the concept of an active queue and a paused queue with a number-setting to determine the max downloads. Why doesn't Firefox get this? Or does it and have I just still not found it?

Mono track locks iPod issue gotten worse?

So I've followed the long-running "mono track locks iPod" problem...you know, the one where a mono track (I think AAC, but I can't remember) is paused, the iPod turns off, and won't turn back on without a reset. Well, I just had it happen...while either at the very end or very beginning of a track that I ripped myself into 192 stereo AAC. I'm not sure of exactly where I paused it; I wasn't looking. I suppose this could be a random occurrence, but has anyone else had this happen when the track wasn't Mono?
General specs: iPod Photo 60; Firmware 1.2 (the one with the busted smart playlists). The tracks in question (if they matter) were tracks 4 and 5 of American Idiot ("Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Are We the Waiting"). Any ideas? I tried to recreate it, but no-go.

I am having the same problem. It doesn't matter what podcast I am in. I usuall play a game (Sudoku - downloaded from itunes) while listening and the two of them running at the same time is impossible now. When I am holding it, it also seems as if I am feeling (and I do hear) the HD spinning. I am wondering if there is a bad spot in it. Can you reformat the HD in the ipod? I've done everything else the site suggests!

And now it keeps downloading on my IPOD

The song that I bought that says its corrupted, is trying to download on my ipod. The song plays as well. I want the downloading to stop.

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.
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Is there anyway to track my ipod based on serial number if find my iphone isn't one?

Is there anyway to track my ipod based on serial number if find my iphone isn't one?

f you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID. Then click the FindMyiPod icon. This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

1st - itunes downloaded to my ipod albums that are all fractured, compilation albums are seperated.This should not have happened but itunes felt it knew better. I do not like it.

1st - itunes downloaded to my ipod albums that are all fractured, compilation albums are seperated.This should not have happened but itunes felt it knew better. I do not like it.
2nd - While trying to fix it, itunes made all albums and artists unknown
3rd - While trying to get an answer I am unable to contact anyone or even send an email requesting an answer.
4th - While trying to use the "fast lane" i ran into trying to find the product S/N, I went to my account and it was not there. I tried to see it on the back of the Ipod but had to find a magnifying glass to even read it.
5th -- The we will get back to you really ****** me off
6th -- I have wasted 2 hours to fix something that should not have happened and the situation is worse than when i started
7Th --- Itunes management of songs is terrible and there are NO instructions and even worse no support
8th ---- Apple is going down the toilet because the products are good, not great, and the itunes instructions are non existent
9th --- to even suggest i pay for product support is insulting and a sign that apple is desperate
10th -The suggestion for online feedback is this; BE ON-LINE SUPPORT, NOT WHATEVER YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE NOW.

I agree with stevejobsfan - (0123).
However, if what you actually want to do is to fix/sort out your problem, why no try posting a question on that subject?
For starters - you can re-name the tracks in your iTunes library, so it is possible to correct the changes that you must have made that mean that songs are now "unknown artists and albums."
