My ipod lost 6500 songs and I cant reload them.Please help!

Hello, My 60gb ipod worked fine til I wanted to switch computers to transfer legal downloads. When I was doing it they told me to update my ipod software and I did it clearly said restoring would erase everything I know I clicked uppdate. Now all my songs disapeared and I tried reloading it from original computer and it tells me it can not read my ipod, please update. I did that and it still doesn't work. Thanks for helping. I work in the music biz and I will gladly send you some cd's for helping!

download the ipod updater software, and instead of clicking "update" there is a button that says "restore" its a lot quicker than the windows xp formatting.

    i drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones.... i can send them or post but nothing to delete them

    The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
    Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes.

    Hello chelsey69,
    I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn more about Photostream. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how it works:

When its charging from the plug and lights up it wont let me do anything it just says connect to ITunes and configure  in all languages so at least its teaching me new languages lol :-]

    Unfortunately, you will have to contact Adobe directly to do this sort of thing, with the best bet being by phone. They may, or may not, be willing to refund you your purchase cost.

    - Try on another computer

  • Skipping songs and then erasing everything.  Please Help

    My iPod had been having this problem for a few weeks, but I "fixed" it, and now it is happening again. I have an ipod 40gb touch wheel, and what its doing is I restored my ipod, using 2005.09.06, and then I put all my t4racks back into it through itunes. But, after a day to a week, it will start scrolling through all the songs, never playing any of them, and then go back to the menu. I tried to reset it (play/menu buttons together), and it erased all my tracks. This has happened a couple of times.
    Can anyone please help me?

    Infuriating, isn't it?
    I have the same problem with my 3rd generation iPod. I also "fixed" it, or so I thought, but then the problem returned after awhile. I hate to tell you this, but I really don't think there is a fix for this problem. I've tried all of the recommended "solutions," but none of them worked for very long. I don't think there is anything the matter with my iPod — I think the latest firmware update is responsible - others think so too. Did you recently update the firmware for your iPod?

  • TS3999 HELP my work calender has vanished from the icloud and i cant find it PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE!

    HELP! I have my calender on my iphone saved and updated on the icloud, today it has vanished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    No idea how or why, please help!

    Go to settings>icloud and turn off calendars.  Then turn on again.  That might bring them back.
    If not, test the account by using a browser to log into icloud.com and go to the calendar page.  If not there, then for whatever reason, they're gone.  You might try performing a restore from an icloud backup, if you have that turned on.

  • Hi i bought soundblaster x-fi notebook and xfi wireless receiver and cant pair them, please help

    Hi, as i said before i cant pair the devices, i conect the receiver and it didnt pair automatically, y press foward and rewind to reset and it didnt pair either, i try pairing them manually by pressing the led on the card and the conect bottom of the back of the receiver, nothing they both tilt and they dont find each other. Anyone has this problem before? i have windows vista 32 home basic, that might be it's is the receiver sn 70sb084000005 not compatible with the express 54(notebook slot)?xfi sound card?
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    It may be because the X-Fi Wireless Recei'ver is not compatible with the X-Fi Notebook. From the product page at creative site http://sg.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=209&subcategory=843&product=8 094&listby=, it seems like the Creative Wireless Recei'ver is the correct receiver for X-Fi Notebook.. X-Fi Wireless Recei'ver is more for Xmod Wireless. If this is true, I hope you can still exchange the receiver from where you bought it for the correct one.

  • Ipod classic problems: screen and connecting to windows..PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Ok, so I know many people have problems connecting their ipod classics to computers, it seems like it only happens to classics. But anyways, lately my ipod screen has also been doing weird stuff like cutting words in half..(example: instead of music it would show usic. etc.) Has this happened to anyone else? It has also erased some of my music, but luckily I was able to get it back. Does anyone know how to fix any of these problems?
    thanks!

    I definetley think apple should work on that model, I've have friends who purchased a zune and haven't had problems with it at all since then. They did say it is difficult to find cases and car plugs, etc. for zunes though, I don't think I'd purchase one just because I like the way ipods work better ( controls, screen layout, etc.) but besides that I'd say they're pretty nice.
    I just realized it was probably a bad idea to mention zunes on an Apple forum, but what the heck!
