My iPod synced automatically and now I can't play songs on iTunes.

I used to play my songs from my iPod all the time on iTunes. One day, I connected my iPod to my computer to charge it up and it started to sync automatically for no reason and now I can't seem to 'rewind' this and go back to the way things were.
What has happened? I have never synced my songs before (at least I don't think I have) but my songs on my iPod are very light in color and are non-playable on both of my computers now. :o(

B-rock,
Thank you for replying to the issue I am having with my iPod. I think I may have tried to download an update for the iPod on iTunes, but I never completed the download or installed it, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it?? I don't know if I should try to restore it to it's original settings or if that will delete all the songs I have on there. When I uncheck the sync button it deletes everything, so I know I can't do that option.
I don't think my kids have downloaded a newer version of iTunes on this computer and I know I didn't on my laptop, so that rules that possibility out.
It is just the craziest thing. They are there one day, then one a different day, I plug it in to charge and bam, it starts to sync out of the blue, and I have no control over what is happening.
I am not one that is very 'iPod literate' so I have no clue what it means to 'sync' the music, so in a nutshell, I'm not even sure what really happened when my music synced..... I know how to create the playlists, add the music, add the pictures, and do the basic stuff, but when it comes to BIG stuff, my kids know more than I do.... :o/

I installed Zune and now I can't play from my iTunes account. Why? How do I fix this?

- Did you try here:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- If they were rentals and you have a 4G iPod, they will not transfer to your computer.

I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? Thank you

I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? P/s M preview window is totally blank. I can't figure out what went wrong. Thank you

For iMovie to see your projects, they must be in a certain place. If they are on your startup internal hard drive, they must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. If they are on an external drive, they must be in the iMovie Projects/ folder at the top level of the drive. Is it possible that your projects have been moves somewhere else?

Not sure what you mean by this. Why can't you play it?

I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere

I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere - won't play in FCP 7, Quicktime. Not sure what updates they were specifically since i hit the "update All" button without going over each one. Please help!! operating on 10.6.8 with FCP7

Just take a look at the last few days posts here and you'll see many people with the same problem and some possible solutions.
But you should never do any software updates unless you have a bootable backup of your startup drive. FCP7 is no longer being supported by apple and updating anything is fraught with dangers.

TS1368 My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it's so stupid

My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it has messed up my enitre music library

Hello Carpathianna,
No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.

Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8 My MacBook can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook

Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8
My MacBook is too old and can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook.
It all worked perfectly prior to updating the iPad 2 to OS7.
There were no cautions or warnings
Are there any work arounds?
Can I uninstall OS7 and go back to OS6?
Rediculous thing is I can connect to iTunes on an old PC of the same age

Thanks for your comments but this doesn't help my situation at all.
Again Apple fails to provide backward support for its own products.
I could go to the trouble of hacking the MacBook and running Mountain Lion and iTunes 11 that way
I think I will just move across to a PC as a result of this Apple strategy and I think I will just give up on Apples short lived product strategy.
A laptop that lasts five years indicates a long lived product strategy. Where they go wrong is to prevent backwards strategy when someone genuinely cannot live with ios7 like you. even the "unsupported" downgrade has now been blocked.
Don't go windows, you will not get five good years from a dell or an asus. If you can't buy Mountain Lion for it, get a new macbook, enjoy.

I downloaded the new iOS6 and now I can not connect with the iTune or App stores. My wi-fi works.

I downloaded the new iOS6 update to my 4s and now I can not connect with the iTune or App store. How do I fix it? My Wi-Fi works fine.

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

Hey Davidl678,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
Thanks,
Matt M.

Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

My iPod synced automatically and now I can't play songs on iTunes.
