Music and videos stopped showing up

ok so i plugged in my ipt(16gb) today to dl new podcasts, i disconnect it and go to podcasts and nothings there. i go to music and all my music is gone, same with videos. however i plugged it back into my mac and it still says all the music and videos are there (its direct sync with my library, and the memory diagram for the ipt still shows the percentages). i resynced the ipod 4-5 times and no success. i rebooted the ipod 3 times, no success. i could have sworn i saw someone else who had this problem on this forum but i couldn't find the thread. im going in to see apple tomorrow but i would like to not have to make the rather long drive to the store. any suggestions? i also resynced the songs t the ipod by saying i wanted to manually do it so all the "music" got erased and then set it back to do auto-sync so everything was recopied to the ipod, still nothing...the music's on the ipod, its just not appearing...photos still work fyi

It could be an error with iTunes, you could try to re-install itunes and see if that works. This problem could have been caused by disconnecting the iPod Touch during sync.

  • After downloading iOS5 my music and videos are showing as synced on my computer but aren't showing on my iPad?

    I downloaded iOS5 and went through the syncing process. Within iTunes on my computer my iPad is showing as having the music and videos 'on board' (the colour bar is even showing the content is on my iPad.
    But when I look in Music, it shows as 'No Music'.
    Any help appreciated.

  • 4.2.1 Hosed My Music and Video Library

    Upgrade to 4.2.1. All my apps came back. All my photos came back. I'm a MobileMe subscriber so all my mail, notes, contacts and calendars came back. Music and Videos? GONE! Go into settings, and the phone tells me I have 1,808 songs, 62 Videos, and 7.5 GB of available space. Go into the iPod on the phone and it tells me "No content available". ***? I've rebooted three times, media does not come back. A real freaking buzz kill. Get on the train this morning, sit down, want to listen to music and am greeted with this. Way to kill my good mood this morning on the way to work.

    UPDATE:
    When I clicked "eject" to unmount my device from within iTunes, it started to sync (which is weird because I have my iTunes preferences to NOT automatically sync in my iTunes at work). I quickly swiped to cancel the sync, it lasted maybe a second and half, and VOILA, my music and videos all shows up on my phone again. Glad, but, a very annoying bug.
    Thanks for the help!

  • My iPad stopped streaming live music and video.

    How do I fix this problem

    What happens when you try to play them ? Does your music and videos show but don't play, or doesn't your content show in the Music and Videos apps ?
    Have you tried closing the Music and Videos apps completelyand seeing if they work when you re-open them  ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Music or Videos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music and Videos apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Automatically Syncing my 3rd Gen IPod Touch, All my music and videos show in the device on iTunes, but when I look at the device itself, it say no content.  Can someone help?  The Apps seem to sync fine, just not the music, videos, podcasts, or audiobooks.

    Thx

    Not compatible.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB

  • How do I get the Itunes Music Library to stop showing and asking me to purchase the songs I have drug in for playlist?

    How do I get the Itunes Music Library to stop showing and asking me to purchase the songs I have drug in for playlist?

    If I make a playlist of my favorite Sax players by dragging there songs from their homepage into my playlist not purchasing them.  Those songs appear along side my regular songs in my overall music library with option to buy them.  The only way to get rid of them in my Music library seems to be to delete the playlist.

  • Delete content, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?

    iPod deletes all music and videos, I synced it with iTunes, but after some time it deletes again.

    To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
    On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • IOS 7.0.3 will not correctly "manually manage music and videos" any more?

    So, on all my iOS devices, I have always used "Manually manage music and videos" to drag albums from my iTunes library to my iPhones.
    I then use iTunes to delete the albums and replace them with others (I have a lot of music).
    With the iOS 7.0.3 update -- if I delete songs on the phone in iTunes 11.1.2 -- they show (in iTunes) that they have been deleted.
    However, the songs are still on the iPhone when I go back to the Music app.
    Is anybody else seeing this? I filed this (as it wasn't an issue with 7.0, 7.0.1 or 7.0.2), but am wondering if I'm missing something terribly obvious all of a sudden...
    My only options at this point are to manually delete songs on the phone individually or to delete *all* the songs from Settings -- neither of which is optimal.
    I filed a bug on this, but wondered if anybody else ran across this and figured out how to fix it?

    It looks as though I MAY have found a solution after playing with this since last night ... Let me know if it works for you!
    I went through and deleted a few random songs through iTunes on the "On This iPhone" tab ... they still showed on my iPhone but not in the Music part on iTunes. I then clicked sync at the bottom next to the memory bar on iTunes and it seemed to have removed the songs from my iPhone.
    However, my iPhone is saying I have 1 more song than my iTunes is saying which I still don't understand but if I can still manually manage my music I guess it's a small price to pay for the minor confusion.
    Really getting tired of becoming a detective just to work my phone appropriately. Apple should really stop making all these changes and stick to what the customers know and like. Frustrated and annoyed customers won't raise their sales...

  • How do i share media (music and videos) between all of my devices?

    i currently have (and attempt to use as much as possible) the following devices:  macbook pro 15", ipad 4, iphone 6 plus 64 GB, and appletv 2.
    i would love it if these devices would talk to each other correctly.  first came the macbook, and i took an internal 2 tb drive cannibalized from my previous pc and transformed it into an external.  that drive is desinated as my media drive, it includes all of my video and music.  the macbook and the appletv talk to each other flawlessly.  every music and video file on that drive is accesible to me using apple tv. 
    next up is the ipad, which includes some of my videos (movies), but no tv shows.  music also does not show up, only options to buy from the store.  but i already have a music library that includes many songs downloaded from the store that dont show up, only some stupid U2 album that i never downloaded.
    finally, we get to the iphone, which i just got.  i get no shared music or videos here at all.
    by the way, all settings are set to share with each device in settings and itunes.  each device talks to one another.  i know this because there is some level of sharing on each device (ie ipad gets videos, iphone shares spreadsheets and other productivity files.  appletv shares everything.  i now want to sync these devices so that they can share the same data while on the same home network.  i should be able to do this, right?
    also, i know that i can airdrop/transfer but thats not really what im looking to do atm.
    thanks

    im more than a little disappointed here.  can anyone recommend another forum please?

  • Cannot delete music from iPod nano (latest generation).  Have already selected "Manually Manage music and videos" but delete is unavailable from right click or Edit.

    I have done everything I've seen recommended for deleting music (jncluding "manually manage").  Thanks for the assistance!!!

    Did you Apply the change after selecting (checking the box for) Manually manage music and videos?
    With the latest iTunes, if the sidebar is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    In the sidebar, select the iPod under DEVICES.  Click the toggle (to the left of iPod) to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown.  You can select songs there, right click on them, and select Delete from the contextual menu.  You can also select songs there, go up to the menu bar, and select Delete under Edit.  You can also select songs there, and just press the Delete key on the keyboard.
    If you want to use automatic syncing, which is far more convenient than the manual method, and easily manage content on the iPod (add and remove songs), please post back.

  • Upgrading to 11.1.1 has wiped my ipad1 of all music and videos when synching. Please help

    I am running Windows XP, have an ipad1 running IOS 5.1.1 and an ipod 5th gen 80gb video.
    I have 6,000 songs in iTunes, podcasts, books, apps and numerous movies and videos both purchased from Apple Store and some home converted mp4s.
    I upgraded to 11.1.1 5 days ago and since then, every time I have tried to sync my ipad as I add more videos, it has gone mad and on step 4 out of 5 of the synch process it hangs and then gives me a unknown error code -69 and not only does it not add any new video files, it removes existing ones that have always been there and I just get the grey dotted circle next to them now when I look at the ipad films directory.  Podcasts are fine.
    I have fully restored the ipad, I have experimented with manually managing music and videos, I have tried to add the old 'always worked before' videos back, one by one but absolutely nothing works and since I did the restore, it now won't add ANY of my music files...I just get the error -69.
    I connected my old faithful ipod instead to see what happened and exactly the same story.
    Can I roll back a version of iTunes? What can I do? It's been maddening and I have spent 2 days trying to fix it.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions I can try. I see that many people here have had similar problems and turning wifi on the device off seemed to have helped - but I don't even have wifi on my ipod and it screwed that up.

    Hi there,
    That's a point for a huge discussion... "EPMA may already be on its way out the door"
    I thought that it is the other way round? That Oracle aims to stop using classic application and move everything to EPMA...
