My ipod thinks autosync means delete all and copy again :(

everytime i connect my ipod nano to my pc it opens itunes, deletes all songs and copys them on the ipod again.
Even if i dont change anything in itunes library and just restart/reconnect the ipod it will delete everything before syncing.
why? how to solve that it only copys new songs? and not manually!
thx

I was having this SAME problem.....until yesterday....I was downloading more songs, and was all prepared for it to delete everything and start all over. I added songs to my existing playlist, and I FINALLY figured out that by keeping everything in one playlist...it will ONLY download the new songs and leave the other ones on there. You can tell what's happening by that bar on the bottom that tells you how much stuff is on your Ipod. I tried this several times, just to make sure I wasn't imagining things, and it's WORKING. Before, I didn't know what to do, so I made a new playlist everytime I download something, which is why it would delete the stuff I already had on there.
I hope I didn't confuse you....let me clarify. I have a playlist called Kelly's Ipod selection. everytime I download something, it gets added to that playlist. Then, I click the ipod and choose "download selected playlists". and then it will only download songs that aren't already on the ipod.
I'm SOOO happy I figured this out. I got my ipod for Christmas and was getting really frustrated with it, and put off downloading more music because I just didn't want to deal with it. I used to use a sandisk sansa mp3 player and never had any problems adding songs. I figured this out by pure luck. And now I can actually ENJOY my ipod.
Hope this helps.

  • Made a mess of importing - can I delete all and start again?

    Mac newbie. I have all my photos safely stored on an external hard drive in a folder structure such as Asia/Country/city, etc.
    I just got a Mac. Looked at but didn't want to use iPhoto, so d/l Aperture.
    I imported one city folder with "automatically split projects" ticked (it was default) and got hundreds of projects - one for each day I took photos, I think. I need an easy way to clear them out/delete so I can import correctly.
    Suggestions? I've since d/l the pdf manuals from Apple and I promise to read them :>

    The default setting on import is to move the masters into the Aperture library. If you had this set then the masters you imported were moved into the library and when you deleted them from Aperture you may have deleted your only copy of the masters.
    IYou should check you original directory to see if those masters are still there. If you haven't yet empty the system trash yet they will be there.

  • Delete all and restart again

    Hello,
    I would like to delete my Lightroom 4 and all the pictures in it and start new again.
    Is there a way to do that?
    Thanks for your help.

    Re-installing Lr does nothing in your case. Pictures are not in Lr. Pictures (Image files) are on the hard drive - wherever they are - and Lr references them in its database (= catalog).
    If you want to start fresh, simply open a new catalog. There is no need to delete or uninstall anything.
    Just go >File >New Catalog. Give the new Catalog a descriptive name so that you know this is the "new" one. Lr will then close (it gives you a message) and re-open with a new catalog that has nothing in it. So you won't see any pictures.
    Then go to the Import Dial0og and import your images.

  • My music is completely messed up: many songs shortened to 3:01, many songs in different versions. Should I delete all and reimport all my purchases? Or is there a more elgant way of cleaning the media center?

    I think you should just rebuild your library.
    Clear it out, then drag all the song files back in. You'll lose your ratings and playcounts, etc but I don't see what else you can do.

  • Does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?

    Hi all, so I forgot my book's passcode and I reset it from the Recovery mode. All is fine, but I was wondering does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh? All the chains, registries and all, just like a fresh copy of Windows ? Or did I mixed up all...
    P.S. Strange after the factory reset and the system's downloading I got this as apps (of course some are downloaded by me)

    does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?
    Actually, the "delete all" part is done by your using Disk Utility to erase the partition, as part of your clean install.

    If this is an iCloud account the Outbox only appears when sending an email, so if it is still trying I suppose it should be showing now (not sure though, hard to replicate this)

    - See if this program will place it in recovery mode since that erases the iPod and bypasses the passocode.

  • My 4th generation ipod wont update without deleting all of my Media. I dont want to do that. What do I do?

    I have a 4th generation 64 gb iPod Touch. I had a laptop that it was synced with but it crashed. Everytime I try to update it pops up a messege saying "Erase all media and update". I do not want to do that. It wont even let me put more music on it. Im not sure what to do..Im scared because its a 64gb iPod i love it to death. It is all I own. How can I put music on it without deleting all of my media. Or where can I store all the media to restore later?

    I realize that, but I was just updating to the most recent software when I got an error message & now it's just showing I need to restore. Is there a way to back it up first or avoid the resetting to factory?

  • Deleting movie means deleting ALL of my apps?!

    Hello, I recently bought the new iPod touch 4th gen, 8GB. I have some movies i bought over iTunes a while back and I decided to try putting one on my new iPod! I had planned to set my iPod to manually manage all of my stuff, but I forgot before telling iTunes to sync a movie to my iPod. Now everytime I try to uncheck the checkbox next to the movie so that it doesn't sync it anymore and push apply, it pops up a little box asking me if I want to remove all of my apps! The same box appears when I try to select manually manage music and videos. Can anyone help me?? I REALLY don't wanna delete all of my apps, but this movie is taking up 2 of my 8 gigabytes of memory, and I REALLY need that space!

  • Help!! Connecting ipod to new laptop deleted all songs!

    My daughter got a new laptop for college. In fact she is leaving in the morning-- but disaster struck and she may not be taking her music with her!!! While trying to install the ipod software on the laptop all her songs disappeared! We then went back to the PC the ipod originally linked with and were unable to re-load the songs- it also looked like some of the buttons that had been there with itunes disappeared. The other thing we did at the same time was to update the software, as we were prompted to do. What happened and how can we get the songs back on the ipod and her new computer? We started to back them up on a CD but the CD does not include the names and artists for some reason. Please help.

    hmmmmm.
    even though you don't have a Toshiba, perhaps try disabling the high-speed USB interfaces on that PC. (no need to restore ... we're just checking to see if you can get recognition and a sync with them turned off.)
