When I plug my iPod classic (only three months old) into iTunes, it doesn't show up as a device on iTunes. I plugged it in to update last nightm, but all my music was erased and now it isn't even recognized. The iPod itself shows it being connected, but nothing on iTunes. Any ideas would be appreciated. eta2359

Hi MJPHU,
I understand that when you want to move music or video from your external hard drive to sync with iTunes, that media is staying on your computer and taking up hard drive space. In this situation I would recommend changeing the location of where iTunes looks for the media. This way you can sync anything you want without dragging files to your computer hard drive. If the external drive with the media is connected, iTunes will sync directly from there. The following article explains how to change the location of where iTunes looks for your media.

Hey, so I logged onto my computer after a mandatory restart and my music and playlists were deleted from itunes, but I still have all of the music files that go into itunes if I open them individually. Any way I can get them back into itunes altogether??

really just want my songs back in itunes, trying to find a way to do it all at once instead of clicking on individual song files since i have so many.

copy them and then paste them into music/itunes/itunes media/music/ automatically add to itunes. that should automatically add them back in.

My iPod touch is synced to my old Mac and I have a new PC. Now when I plug my iPod into the new computer it will make the connection sound, but will not show up in my iTunes. I do not care to have the content copied over. Any suggestions?

Ipod classic isn't recognized by the computer & keeps on restarting

hii
I am experiencing very strange problem.My apple ipod classic isn't recognized by my computer nor it formats or restore & keeps on restarting on it's own when tried
to open any application.it also shows that there is 0kb free & 0kb used.
please help
highly obliged

I have the exact problem. My ipod (and now there's two of them!) used to work fine, sync, etc. with this computer. A while back, it stopped recognizing the ipod. I tried all the stuff (the 5r's), checked my usb ports (work with all other devices), different cables, etc. Finally, I got another ipod. Now I've got two perfectly good ipod classics that I can't get music on or off of. grr.
I guess it's something in my computer set up (which is still strange, since, to my knowledge nothing has really changed from when it used to work)...but it my laptop also won't recognize either ipod. so that's two computers that I'll have to take to some expert if I can't figure this out. frustrating!

Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes. When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load. [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to

Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

I heard that there was a problem with Apple being vulnerable to Hackers. Has anyone seen an update for this issue? My IPad received the update last night but I have not seen anything for Safari.

I heard that there was a problem with Apple being vulnerable to Hackers. Has anyone seen an update for this issue? My IPad received the update last night but I have not seen anything for Safari.

Mac OS X 10.9.2 was released today for this issue and others. Earlier versions are not affected.
See this Apple article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6114
You can use the Mac app store to do the update or download it directly from here - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1725
Best of luck.

I have attempted to update a few apps and the install has frozen on 'waiting' not allowing me to either access the app or delete it, any idea why this has happened and how do I get around it?

See if either of these things works for you. In the future ... Only update one app at a time. Forget that the Update All button even exists. It causes more problems than it does good - IMO.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

Re: camera connection kit- I uploaded pictures using the sandisk connection, clicked on 10 pics to delete and ALL of my files were deleted from the sandisk! Is there any way to recover these pics?

Kevin-
You say you uploaded the pictures to the iPad? Then they should still be there, and you can copy them to your computer through iTunes.
There are utility programs for a computer that can recover deleted files from hard drives, and they may work for camera memory cards as well. I've used DiskWarrior for Macintosh to recover pictures from an SD card before.

My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine. Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring. During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected. Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day. Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected. It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should. If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected. With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month. The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again. It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

On two occassions, all contacts were wiped off the Ipad. Any ideas why this would happen?

On two occassions, all Contacts were wiped off the Ipad 2. Any ideas why this would happen?

Did it happen during a sync or did they just disappear? After they were gone, we you able to retrieve them during syncing? Are you using any 3rd party apps to access your contacts or just the built-in Contacts app?
In any case, I've not heard of or expeienced this on my iPhone 3G (synced with Outlook and now Google) or my iPad, although I've only had my iPad for a short time.

No, I don't think anyone here would know.
Mine has done that once or twice.
