My iPod songs are automatically wiped out again!! GRRR..

My iPod songs are gone. How can I have have them back without having to upload songs again?
This is the second time it happened. My iPod still had 60.9 MB space in it before my songs disappeared.
When I plugged my iPod into the PC today, it was charging. Then a few minutes later, the iPod (still plugged into the PC) started beeping. At first I don't know where the beep was coming from. When I finally realized it came from my iPod, it was too late to check what message it says on the screen. And when I open the iTunes, it prompts me to fill up the iPod Set-Up Assistant (which means that I have to start all over again transferring songs to my iPod? No way.). I can't find the songs in my iPod anymore. All of them have been wiped out now.
The weird thing is, even with all the songs wiped out, iTunes still says that I only have 60.9 MB of memory in my iPod. It seems that the songs are still there but won't just show up. Because they still occupy the memory of my iPod. My Notes are still in the device, I can also access the files stored in the External Memory.
The first time it happened, I did a Restore and had to download the songs from the Internet again. Now that I don't have the music files in my PC anymore, I don't want to do a Restore because I don't want to download songs again.
Please help me fix this.

1.If you are using some kind of file sharing program to put songs on your ipod,this might be the problem.I had a similar situation.If you delete some songs from your file-sharing program itunes wont be able to find the songs and wont play song(just on itunes),ir that the host of the song might've deleted the song himself from other to share.
2.Make sure your itunes is up-to date,or you ipod is having hardware issues(this might be the cause if you dont use a file-sharing program).You need to put you ipod on disk mode.For more info. go on support.
3.This step can maybe work,but i know it wont.just blow the usb cord just to make sure it is not dusty.
4.This might also be why your songs get wiped out.You probably need a new usb cord,but first try every way you can to fix this issue before buying a new usb cord.also depends how old your usb cord is.

If you are in the USA you can use the iCloud beta. See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise you will have to contact iTunes and they MAY allow a redownload. But note that Apple clearly states that you get one download and it is up to you to back it up.

How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic. ITunes wiped out all my contacts and there is even no place for contacts any more on my macBook.

You don't download iTunes by connecting your phone to iTunes and yes of course, by syncing your phone with your husbands computer, of course you will have lost all your stuff and you will have his.
When you connect to iTunes, you sync.
To get back all your things, then you need to sync your phone to the computer that you used originally to set your phone up - if this is your computer, then connect your phone to that and sync it with iTunes on that and you will get your stuff back, but when you connect to iTunes you sync and don't download.
Ringtones should download automatically to your phone and if not, if you are getting them on your computer, then download them to your computer with your iTunes on and double click to get the MP3 file to open in iTunes and then sync your phone to your computer and you will get the ringtone on your phone.

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

HT1351 We had 2 computers: his itunes library on one, and mine on the other. We got rid of both of those and got a new computer. I put music on the new computer. My ipod songs are not on itunes. Will I erase them if I sync? How do I add new music?

My songs are all greyed out

my songs are all greyed out on my laptop and I cannot get them to play

Will they play one track at a time and then stop, or not at all?
Assuming the former then it is likely that the tracks are unchecked. Go to the Songs view and Ctrl+Click on any empty checkbox to check all tracks.

How do I get back the old songs that were wiped out on my Ipod, when the new songs were downloaded?

I recently had to have everything on my harddrive moved to an external harddrive by the Geek Squad. Subsequent to that, I purchased six new songs from Itunes, and downloaded them to my Ipod. When I did that, all 126 of my old songs were wiped out. However, Itunes still shows all of the old, as well as the new songs. How can I access the "older" songs so that I can then add them back to the newer songs?

Hey LiLi521,
I found a few articles that can help you out. Depending on what version of iTunes you're using, check out either:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
or for older versions:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
You can set up your iPod for automatic or manual syncing, and depending on which option you choose the process will be different. Either route you choose, by following those directions you should be able to get both your older songs and the newly purchased ones onto your iPod.
Hope this helps,
David

Songs have been wiped out 3 times from new ipod touch

Just bought 2 new ipod touches. One seems to be working fine. I had to restore the other because my songs were wiped out twice. It now has done it a third time. My son was listening to it and it suddenly stopped and the songs are no longer on there. Any suggestions?

That second iPod Touch goes back to the store for replacement.

Songs are all greyed out

I purchased a 30gig ipod video today and I installed all of the software and stuff. And I went to reload my songs from my older playlist (from my ipod photo) and all of my songs on my ipod are all grayed out and unclickable. And there is a little lock in the bottom righthand corner. Has anyone had any problems like these and if so could they help me. please

Normal. You've got automatic update selected.
Switch to manual update if you want to be able to choose and/or play songs directly from your iPod.
If you want to keep the automatic update, just make your changes in your library.
Good luck!
And now would be a very good time to get a back up plan in place. Your iPod is not meant to be the sole repository of your music. A common fix for many iPod problems is to restore it to factory settings, which wipes EVERYTHING off the iPod.

IPod has "frozen" and wiped out; iPod software "null" on iMac

I connected our older iPod to my Mac the other night. While it is usually synced with iTunes my wife's "side" of the computer, I tried to load my iTunes library onto the iPod. It seemed to be working, but then froze. Although the message on the iPod was "Do not disconnect," I disconnected it. That seemed to have wiped out the contents on the iPod, as well as the iPod software on the Mac. Now when I hook up the iPod to the Mac, the image on the iPod is a disk with a circling magnifying glass. And, I also noticed on the Mac console that all of my prior iPod software updates now have a (null) designation after the task. I assume that means that the programs have been deleted.
How can I get up and running again? Thanks.

Anyone else have this issue? Any luck resolving it? It just happened to mine today. I went to turn it on and all I get is "Wheel Test."
I can't get a menu. I can't even turn it off. Toggle does nothing. I tried to reset, but the computer doesn't recognize that it is even connected. I don't know if it is taking a charge or not.
I've never had a problem or unhappy face on the mini before. Any suggestions?

Some ipod songs are not displayed in itunes

I discovered several duplicated songs on my ipod touch, so I connected to itunes (PC), but the duplicated songs were only listed once when viewing the ipod music in itunes. While in itunes, viewing my ipod music, I erased all the music on my ipod and itunes then displayed no listing of any song on my ipod. When I check directly on my ipod, there are still 36 songs on the ipod. These are the ones that are dupilicated when I sync the ipod to itunes. How can I get rid of this duplication, or, How can I completely erase all songs from my ipod?

did you solve the problem? I have the same issue.

CR files are automatically checked out (with Visual Source Safe 2005)

Dear CR Support,
i have a strange problem. Every time i open my solution in V.S. 2008 (V.B.) all my CR files are checked out automatically.
I must do "Undo Check Out" every time.
I Use:
Visual Basic 2008
Crystal Reports 2008
Visual Source Safe 2005
For any extra information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Navarino Technology Department.

Dear Don hello,
sorry for that.
I have made some tests and i notice the followings:
I'm working in a CR file in design mode. I make the changes that i want, i click save and then "Check In" in order the changes to be saved in VSS. If i Don't "close" the CR File (the open tab of Visual Studio) the CR file stays "Open" in design mode. If i right click over the tab of the CR and click "close", the CR closes. This is what i mean "Open" and "Closed" file.
- When i open the solution with the crystal reports files open (design window open), the files are checked out automatically.
- When i open the solution with closed the reports, i have no problem. But if i try to open (in design mode) the crystal reports files, the report is checked out automatically (this is not happening to all reports).
I will try to reinstall the SP2 again.
Is there any newer Patch after the SP2, in order to install it?
Thank you for your reply.
Best regards,

Some iPod songs are scratching/skipping/call it what you want...

Hey,
After returning a faulty iPod in for this "new" 60GB iPod I had some trouble. When I uploaded the songs, some of them would make a scratching noise like a bad cd in an old cd player. I've tried to restore my ipod twice, and even tried uploading the songs on an older software version of itunes - yet still I have some songs doing this. It's a random selection of songs that appears to be happening to. I hope someone can assist me!

Marion,
You can do that in your LOV code. Add a filter based on the PK you want , and yes you can use bind variables in the LOV source code.
something like :
Select x display , y return
from table_z
where col_a = :P1_someitem;Hope this helps,
Sam

My ipod Songs are stuck on repeat.

Hi there
everytime i listen to a song and its over, it starts again likes its on repeat. It will not change to the next song unless i press the forward button to do it myself. any suggestions on where to turn off repeat???

Select a song to play.
Touch the top of the player to see the song length (just below song title)
You'll see a little race track on the far left.
Some how it got set to repeat there is a little "1" there.
Touch it. It toggle repeat. It goes away...
That did it for me.
The instructions in the previous post got me to this. Thought I'd post just to make it easier than finding it in the .pdf file.
Enjoy!

My iPod songs are automatically wiped out again!! GRRR..
