Music missing from ipod?

for some reason my ipod would not play and just keep running from one song to the next.i connected to computer to update and now all my songs are missing from the ipod and nothing i try puts is back.i have removed and put everything back,latest update,restore back to the begining still my ipod is blank.need help on what to do next.thanks loraine

i do normally auto update, and there is some music in itunes that I have moved around or deleted, more specifically, itunes cannot find it-however the music HAS stayed on my ipod!! do you know why this is?
Not really sure.
Have you tried a Reset on the iPod?
If it keeps happening (and you don't want it to, you may have to Restore.)
should I just uncheck all the old music that I have deleted, then only update the checked stuff? (just to keep it organized?)
How are you deleting the music? Directly from the folder or are you using iTunes to delete it?
If you use iTunes, it will not be in iTunes to check or uncheck. I recommend you use iTunes to manage your music, then you don't have to worry abou twhere it is stored or what it is named, etc.

  • All music missing from ipod... Pls help!

    Hi,
    So i listened to my ipod on the way to work, connected it via UBS to my laptop for charging as normal. On the way home.. NO MUSIC!!!
    When I connect to itunes now, itunes say it can't recognise the ipod and tells me to restore factory settings.
    I have less than a third of what was on my ipod in my itunes because they changed my hardrive months ago and didn't back up my music so it was lost from itunes.
    my Ipod settings say I have Capacity 27.8Gb and Available 16.8GB. So this tells me that my music is still in my ipod.. but I can't see it and all menus say there is nothing in there!! I'm going mad. I had over 3000 songs and it'll be a nightmare to upload all my cd's again which is why i don't want to restore the factory settings.
    Anyone else had this problem and managed to get their music back???
    Please say yes and let me know how I can resolve this.
    Many thanks,

  • All music gone from iPod & it won't synch

    I updated my PC & 20 gig click wheel iPod to iTunes 5 & updater 2005-09-23. I got my iPod for my birthday in April and seem to remember updating the iPod software at least one other time with no trouble. But now my iPod won't synch. I ran restore (my only choice) and plugged it in to flash the firmware. Then I connected it to my computer to get my music back on it. I have quite a bit of music and it was taking a long time so I left my iPod connected to the computer and went to bed. The next morning the computer had the "update complete" message but the iPod had the "do not disconnect" message. I used the button on iTunes to eject my iPod. That made it disappear from the source list but did not make the "do not disconnect" message go away on the iPod. Even though the computer was going through the "updating x of xx" there is still no music on my iPod. So I plugged the iPod into my computer and the "do not disconnect" message came on the screen. However iTunes did not see the iPod. Then I ran the updater from the start menu and then tried to synch it with the same results as the first time. Any ideas?

    It happens to me every time I get an iTunes/iPod updater. It all started when I copied a few new cds into iTunes yesterday, and got both iMac and iPod frozen when updating my iPod. AfterI failing to update a few times, I restored the iPod, got the 09/23 updater, and now it takes forever to copy songs from iTunes to iPod. Even worse, the whole process stops, and iTunes tells me it failed to write/read from the iPod hard disk. I restored once more, but nothing has changed. I am tempted to format the thing in the Disk Mode. Suggestions?

  • New IPOD NANO (5th Generation)  - Copying music files from IPOD to ITUNES

    Help!
    I managed to sync all of my music files from my ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer and I also managed to sync one album to my IPOD NANO from my old G4 Tower Apple computer's ITUNES. Now I would like to copy that one album from my IPOD NANO to my current ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer. Do I sync in the manual mode option?

    Now I would like to copy that one album from my IPOD NANO to my current ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer.
    You can't use iTunes to transfer music from iPod to computer unless that music was purchased from the iTunes store.
    If so, see: How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Try iPodDisk. This is a program designed to transfer music from iPod to computer.
    Similar programs are Expod, Yamipod, Senuti and Music Rescue.

  • 5g ipod nano earphone jack doesn't work, but earphones are OK. Sound of music comes from ipod heard w/o earphone jack plugged in . How, where to fix jack?

    6th g ipod nano earphone jack doesn't produce sound with earphones that work on another 6th ipod. fairly loud music sound heard from ipod w/ no earphone plugged in. Hoe and where to get it fixed?

    I fixed my nano sound problem. Went to settings, hit center button, scrolled down to reset settings, hit center button, scrolled up to reset and hit center button. Walah,  Now earphone jack delivers sound to ear buds like before. AND yes the jack was always plugged in all the way. Simple problem, simple solution.

  • Artists missing from Ipod

    Artists that are in my computer Itunes library are missing on my Ipod after synching. Songs are all there under the Ipod Songs tab listing the Artist but under the Artists tab the Artist is gone.

    There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is incorrectly marked as part of a compilation (and you have Compilations enabled on the iPod) or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
    if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. If you are using iTunes 8 and view the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
    Also if the tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

  • Items Listed In Library, But Missing From iPod/Hard Drive of Computer

    I recently had my latest disaster with iTunes wiping out the content of my iPod. I hooked up the iPod to the computer to charge and to add on a few more items. When it updated, it started from scratch and updated some 1700 items or so directly from my computer hard drive into the iPod, as if they had never been on the iPod in the first place. Further, there are still something like 2000 more items that were on the iPod before this, but now are missing from its list. These items are songs that are no longer on my computer's hard drive. These items are still listed in the iTunes library, however.
    What do I do to get these items accessible again on the iPod itself? Whatever I have tried so far with updating does not do anything but have the iPod/iTunes deal with the items that are still on my hard drive of the computer. How can I get the full listing of 3700 items to play on the iPod again? Or do I have to start from scratch (this will be the third time I will have to do this if so) and reload all those hundreds of CDs back into the iPod manually?
    Thank you for any advice you may be able to provide!

    Were any of those exception edited with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements? If so and you can identify them, download the "Embed sRGB Profile" application from Toad's Cellar, unzip it and place on the desktop. Then take those files and drop onto the application. After the profile is embedded in the files try importing them again.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can I transfer music back from iPod to MacBook and iMac after a MacBook

    My MacBook Pro (2 years old) recently suffered a harddrive failure. I had all my music on this computer and of course on my iPod 80GB. Now I have a new drive in the MacBook with no music and all the music on the iPod. How can I transfer the music back from the iPod to the MacBook? I also have an iMac and would like to doubly back up my music on this unit (in case - or rather "when" there is another drive failure). Connecting the iPod doesn't work as it just asks me to erase and resync. There HAS to be some way around this, I couldn't possibly be the only person in the world with a drive failure!

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Transfer music files from ipod to laptop

    After a nasty virus attack I have had to re-install all the software on my laptop including itunes. Now I need to copy the music files on my iPod back to itunes. I understand that if I just sync the two I'll wipe the iPod because itunes is empty. So, the right way is .... ?? Thanks

    Hello there,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."
