  • My ipod says i have no music on it, but when i plug it into itunes, and look under music on my ipod, its all there. NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! all the music came from a computer which i no longer have, so my ipod is the only place where that music is.

    This morning, i downloaded about 16 songs to put on my ipod, and i manually dragged them over to my ipod to sync that way (like i always do because the music on my ipod came from a different computer which I no longer have) and on my way to work, i realized my ipod says "no content" under Music. However, when I plug my ipod into itunes and click on the music tab under my ipod name, all of my music is there. What happened and how do i get that music back on my ipod? I need help asap.

    You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
    You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
    http://dl.i-funbox.com/
    to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
    Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • Sound card is messed up needs help!

    Okay, one day I was out of the house and my brother used my computer. I came back and my sound card is not working at all. He told me he was only playing Team Fortress 2 but I think he's lying. He did something that made the sound not work. When I restart my computer the sound does work for a while but then in 5 minutes or less it just suddenly makes a painful ticking noise and jsut sto
    ps.
    I try to go in open volume mixer or playback devices but they dont open or they just freeze and i have to use task manager to close the windows.
    If I have my speakers turned off or my headphones unplugged the sound blaster is okay, it only freezes up when sound is played, and when frozen, it stays broken until i restart the computer. Sometimes when I restart it already doesnt work or when I try to shut the computer down it says the system cant shut down because it says its currently playing logoff sound so i have to end program to turn it off, and sometimes the computer doesnt shut down! It turns the moniter and mouse off, but the computer is still on and I have to hold the power button to turn it off. I reinstalled a fresh Windows Vista Ultimate hoping that would fix the problem but it still does the same, so its prabably not a software program, its the sound card or probably the moherboard. I have a HP computer with PCI-E Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio and have the latest drivers. Someone please help me I might need sound for an online summer coarse!

    'Re: Sound card is messed up needs help!y someone2,
    Here are links to some threads on similar questions with some troubleshooting you can try. You may find more using the Forums search function. Checking that Windows Audio is started and set to Automatic is simple in XP, but Vista may differ. If you can run msconfig, disable everything on the Startup tab, and see if you get stable sound. If so, then enable items one at a time until the problem returns.

  • HT4946 hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.

    hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.

    Hi,
    usually when you upgrade, it should not delete your files, but if it happens, than you should have a backup.
    Unfortunately it is very common, that people don't know, what exactly is in the backup.
    The question is, what files exactly you are missing? Own pictures, or taken with the device? Purchased music form the iTunes Store, or own? ....
    Documents and files are mostly up to the developer of the app, if they are part of the backup, usually not and you need to transfer them before.
    In the backup you will find just pictures from the Camera Rolle folder, everything else you should have on the PC, if you had it on the device.
    Same then for music, you can transfer purchased music from the device, but your own works just one direction, from PC to device, from device to PC it doesn't work.
    In future I recomand you to be sure how the backup works or use a 3rd party app (iExplorer) where you have a little bit more "freedome" than with iTunes.
    Or you maybe just restored from the worng backup

  • Ipod Classic 160GB having issues, need help please?

    I am on vacation away from my home computer where my iTunes is.  I turned on my iPod and scrolled down to Music and it showed "No Music."  Went to "About" and saw that there were only 9GB of free space, so I felt for sure it was there because that's right at what I had when I last synced it, which was a couple days ago and it finished syncing with no problems.  Went to the next "About" screen where you can see how much Audio, Video etc. etc. you have and it showed 0 Audio and The "Other" category had all the data in it.  What happened to my music, and can I get it back on vacation without my iTunes on my computer at home?  I tried the holding down of the Select middle button and the Menu button until the Apple logo appeared but that did not restore any Audio.  Hope someone can help me out here.....Thanks

    Solved my issue and thought I might do someone a favor by posting the answer.  If you wind up with NO MUSIC and find all your audio files have been synced into the OTHER folder on your iPod such as what happened to me, AND if you happen to be unlucky enough not to have access to your computer where your iTunes program would allow you to re-sync your iPod, here's what worked for me in a Windows7 OS.
    1.You will have to find a computer that has enough storage to hold the amount of information stored on your iPod.  In my case, 139GB!!!  Download iTunes if it is not already on the system, or if it is, update to the latest software.
    2.  Plug your iPod into one of the USB ports.
    3.  Open iTunes if it does not open itself.
    4.  Select your iPod from the menu on the left and you should get a message that iTunes cannot read the iPod. Simply close that box.  If you get a message that syncing your iPod will erase all content then decline the sync.
    5.  Open Computer and you should see your iPod as an external hard drive.
    6.  Open it and you will see some folders and a few files.  The folders will likely look like they are a washed-out yellow instead of a deep yellow like you're accustomed to seeing.  That threw me initially because as I was looking for the folder with @ 139GB, it was not there.  Right click each folder, go to Properties and check the "Show hidden files" in the View menu.  After that, the folders will appear dark yellow and as you hover over each one, you will see one that will have the full amount of data that was on your iPod before the mess started. Open that folder and you will see a bunch of other folders with strange names, like F00, F01 etc. etc. Do the Edit, Select All, right click and in Properties, View menu, check the Show Hidden Files again.  All the folders that were that light yellow color will now turn deep yellow.  Be sure to select show hidden files not only for the folder but all sub folders and files box that will come up....forgot to mention that earlier.  Now all your folders and the files in them will be readable by iTunes.
    7.  The folders will all still be selected.  If not, select them and then do either a copy/paste into iTunes Music Library or drag them over into that pane.  The process will begin and likely take quite a while.  In my case, several hours.  When it is done, you will see all your music in iTunes along with the album art if you had any.
    8.  Now you will need to sync your iPod to that library, but before you do, you will need to Restore it.  Simply select it from the left menu and click on the Restore iPod option.  That will only take a few minutes and it will wipe your iPod clean.  Before you do that, it is a good idea to MAKE SURE YOUR MUSIC IS ALL THERE!!!  I also went to about a half dozen of the albums and tried playing a few songs just to be double sure.  Proceed with the Restore, and when it is complete change the iPod name that will be in the small box on the same page as the Restore option and likely be something like"karens iPod" (whoever the computer belongs to will be the name there) to exactly what your iPod is called on your iTunes on your computer that it was originally synced to.  I found that before I did this, it would not sync.
    9.  When you hit Sync, be patient because it took a minute or so before it actually began to sync.  Then, it will be another few hours if you have as much music as I did for the sync to complete and depending on the speed of the computer you're using.
    That's how I got all my music back and I am now a happy camper/listener again.,
    I called Apple support and they were absolutely no help.  Just told me I would have to re-sync to my iTunes even though I kept telling them that was 1,650 miles away at my house and not going to be possible.  I even asked if the above process would work and they said they didn't know but "You could try it....." :-(  At that time, I didn't have access to a computer with enough hard disc space on it yet so I called the Apple store in Louisville, KY which was 65 miles from where I was hoping that they might be able to help.  After 2 calls and getting hung up in the same loop of menus that left me on hold for over 20 minutes long distance, I gave up and concluded that Apple and Support are two mutually exclusive terms and have no relationship to one another. This has been quite a nightmare, and if anything good has come of it aside from having my music back, it might be the learning process but I really feel that is a rather small reward for the time spent!
    Not likely to be an Apple fan when considering my next purchase of home computer, laptop, nor the phone I am preparing to buy.
    Hope this has helped someone.

  • Original not found? Big mess! Need Help now please!

    Hi! I need a lot of help.
    I deleted the songs off my itunes and then copied them back by using my ipod. Then, thinking everything would be fine with my music, I restored my ipod because it was messed up.
    Now when I tried to sync my ipod, it does not sync the music, and when I click the , it says original file not found! I bought all these songs once and I would be devestated to have to buy them again. Please help immediately as I will be leaving tomorrow!!!
    Thanks very much!!!

    First thing to try, is booting from the restore DVD and installing a fresh copy of 10.6. If you're lucky, the 10.6.4 update just hosed your OS install, and a simple reinstall is all that's needed.
    Once you've booted to the 10.6 installer, it couldn't hurt to run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu to verify the SMART status of the drive, and even run a repair disk operation on it.
    If the SMART status is failed, or Disk Utility doesn't see the drive, then you're looking at a hardware failure. You'll need to take it somewhere to be fixed if it's under warranty, otherwise if you have some precision screwdrivers like a PH000 and Torx T4, you can replace the drive yourself with pretty much any 2.5" SATA drive.

  • My daughters IPod was stolen and I need help trying to locate it?

    And I dont know how to do this and really need help

    - 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.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • Where's a smart person when you need one? My iphoto just will not open for no reason at all(I REALLY NEED HELP)

    I have not done anything strange like changing something in my computer or IPhoto. One day it just decided not to open. I dont have my photos backed up from IPhoto and I really need the photos on there and Iphoto itself to graduate in two weeks.
    I will click on Iphoto and it'll jump twice, open but it will be totally blank white and immediately have the spinning rainbow wheel and it never loads. I'll then put my mouse over the icona nd it'll say "IPhoto not responding" and everytime I have to force quit. I really dont understand what happened.
    I have googled for days variations of "My Iphoto will not open" and none of what people are saying helps at all because all of them have done something to mess up their apps. I really really need help, please, its got to be something so simple because I didnt change anything on my computer.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • IPod  Problem... really need help. This is last resort.

    I have a huge problem with my video iPod. I can connect it to the charger, no problem. But when it comes to connect it to my PC, it just will not read it at all. Usually it dignifies being connected by showing the "do not disconnect" symbol. But now it just will not read at all and shows no other symbols on the iPod. I have tried everything I can on both the PC and iPod but nothing works.
    Please help, me being the idiot I am, I have important uni files on the iPod that I didnt make a back up-for.

  • Lost all my music need help getting it back!!!

    i restored my computer to is factory state because it had a virus i could not get rid of. everything on my computer was erased. i dont have any of my music now. i downloaded itunes and plugged my ipod in but it only gives me the options to erase and sync or transfer purchases. how do i import the songs from my ipod on to itunes? please help!

    There is no "Apple" way to transfer from the ipod to a computer as this was intended to thwart music piracy.
    There are third party programs which can do it.
    You really should get a hard drive and back up your computer as you will no doubt continue to lose data when a hard drive dies -- or in this case you had to reformat to get rid of a virus.
