Music disappearing from iPod touch?

I have had my iPod touch nearly a year now and until today it was problem free. I was having problems with it syncing first of all and then when i ran a diognostics it suddenly connected but with the expense of my music??
It says that nearly 7MB is in use under 'other', however this is neither shown on my iPod or iTunes.
Anyone had similar problems or any idea how i can fix this problem?

Yes. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. To change syncing computers do the following:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

Album art disappears from ipod touch

Album art for both complete albums and single songs often disappears from the device when uploading new music. However, the art work still appears when you look at the individual songs; i.e., when the device is connected to the computer, you open iTunes, highlight a song and click Apple-I > Artwork.
Also, song order for albums and playlists often gets thrown out of whack. Songs ends up alphabetized.

I just thought about if the music file recognize the song on iTunes store OR every song file that you have album art on then that should be no problem, the only problem is when some of the music/song which is not from iTunes store or they don't have any information for the song, so that will not have album art show up on any of your ipod device unless you add the album art yourself on iTunes when you import song into your iTunes from the file in your computer.

MUSIC DISAPPEARING FROM IPOD CLASSIC FOR NO REASON

Some of my music has disappeared from my ipod classic (160GB) for no apparent reason, ANY IDEAS WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN?

Sometimes the database files or the files themselves become corrupted. Usually in this case, it is necessary to either resync the content via iTunes or restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes.

Music disappearing from ipod

Recently, I've had two incidents where I've turned on my ipod and all the music and photos are gone. I was able to easily resync the ipod and place the music back, but then after a few days of not using it, all the music is gone again. The battery is not low; there is plenty of space left; I'm not leaving it on or plugged into anything....Has anyone else experienced this? Or knows of a way to fix this? It happened while I was traveling and that was a bummer. - my ipod is only two years old, I would hope that it would last longer than this....Thank you!

Have you tried restoring the iPod prior to re-syncing your data?

Music disappears from iPod

Every four or five days I go to use my iPod (color display) and find nothing there except photos. All songs are gone. When I synch with my iTunes(iMac G5, iTunes v.1.2.1), everything gets dumped back on and it is OK for several days, then the same thing happens. It has happened three or four times now. Any suggestions on what might be going on here?

Sound from iPod Touch

Hi,
I just got an ipod Touch but it wasn't clear in the features guide whether the ipod touch is suppose to give out music sound without the earphones.
In the settings, it gives the option to choose either speaker, earphones or both.
So seeing that options, i chose speaker option assuming i will hear the music without the earphones. But i didn't hear any sound from the ipod touch when playing music tracks.
Am i suppose to hear music sound from ipod touch or is the speaker option for external speakers connecting to the ipod touch?
i'm worried my ipod touch is faulty.

The ONLY way to get sound from the IT is with either a headset or external speakers plugged into the audio out jack.
Unless you turn on the sound for the internal speaker, which is actually a transducer to give small alarm beeps. It won’t play music/audio.
From the iPod touch user manual, page 78.
*“Turn sound effects on or off*
Choose General > Sound Effects and select whether you want sound effects to play
over _*the internal speaker*_, through the headphones, or both.”

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

How do I sync music from ipod touch to computer.

I have 5.5GB of music on my ipod touch that I copied from my own cd's to an old computer that are now on my ipod touch. I want to sync the music from my ipod touch to my computer. itunes lists all the music but a message comes up when I try to listen to it on my computer saying "this song cannot be used because the original file cannot be found.
I have all the music on my ipod touch and it all works and I don't want to lose it if I sync. It says when I sync that all music on my ipod touch will be lost, it will only sync with the music on the computer. HELP.

If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.

Music vanishes all the time from iPod touch using the iTunes App...

Hi
I am often not near a computer and prefer to purchase music for my iPod Touch from the iTunes app on the Touch itself. This has worked fine for many months. I believe my iPod is a 3rd gen. However lately I suddently noticed that some music purchased recently was completely missing from the iPod, even some songs purchased as part of an album just vanished... the rest of the album songs were still there, but a couple of random ones had just gone.
Now, every time I try and purchase and download something from the iTunes App (I literally just tried it again) it just doesn't appear in the purchased playlist.. or anywhere on my iPod in fact.
Essentially, I've wasted my money on buying songs that just don't appear. I've also noticed that the music search chugs a lot these days, as if there's some sort of background problem.
I recently upgraded the software (with multitasking etc) but the problem hasn't been fixed.
This is a really frustrating issue, and I have purchased several songs twice and got nothing! So really keen to see if anyone has seen it before and if they can please help me?
I've tried deleting apps, restarting the iPod... when I try and sync with the PC, the purchases are nowhere to be seen. It's all a bit disappointing really!
I'm on a 64Gig iPod touch and have 41 Gig showing as available!
Please help, I've searched for hours and got nothing on this specific issue.
Thanks

hmmm nobody can help me? Is this because nobody wants to tell me I've wasted my money?

How do i import music from my iPod nano to my mac desk top then export the music to my iPod touch?

how do i import music from my iPod nano to my mac desk top then export the music to my iPod touch?

Hey there Antonio7,
You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod nano to your computer with this article:
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer
Transfer your purchases to your computer
Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple IDaccount you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
Then you can sync the music to your iPod touch in the same way you sync music to any device:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
