My ipod touch keeps dissapearing from itunes

when i first connect my ipod touch to itunes it syncs ok but after a while it dissapears and i have to unplug it all and reconnect ive tried all the steps itunes have suggested

Saying y"ive tried all the steps itunes have suggested" provides us with zero information as to what you tried.
Have you tried another cable?
Another USB port?
Another computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

My 4 generation ipod touch is syncing from itunes, and every time it syncs it has to sync all the songs but on the ipod it says no content? What to do?

My 4 generation ipod touch is syncing from itunes, and every time it syncs it has to sync all the songs but on the ipod it says no content? What to do?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

IPod touch music dissapears from album view and other things

I'm honestly suprised to the fact that my old iPod video works better on this factor than the iPod touch I upgraded to.
My problem lies in the fact of syncing makes my iPod decide certain things stay on Album view and dissapear from it. To give an example:
Before sync - Album of Disneyland Music is still together on album view and nothing has vanished.
Add in another song to the compilation of music on the album for easy listening.
Sync iPod
Album of Disneyland music has vanished completely and only the new song added in is viewable in the album listing.
Don't think that it's gone competely. I've searched and the music is actually in the iPod, just not in the albums listings. It's everywhere else listings on the iPod.
This has irked me ever since I bought the thing since another issue that just drives me up the wall. With my iPod video if I listed the music under an album it'd be sorted into the album with no problem. With the iPod touch however if ONE thing is off it gets sorted into its own lisiting on the Album view even though it shares the same Album title with another song. Example:
Old music that doesn't get recognized has to have information added in
Albums are correct
Artists are correct
Sync iPod
Album listing has multiple listings from the same album with the artists as its sorting spot. (or if it even showed up at all...)
I've tried multiple times to fix this and nothing works. (and i've checked and unchecked sort by album artist, no dice.) I attempted to contact an iTunes help as it was partly on the program's fault, the helper didn't understand what I was talking about. Can anyone help me here?
and no I can't resort to my iPod video as I've killed the selection middle button thanks to a game. That and it also had an issue with connecting and I kept having to refresh it.

I looked in Compilations and the album that's vanished from Album view isn't in there. I checked via Artist view and the songs are there so the music is in the iPod but it's being a little wise sucker and not showing me the album in the Album view.
I fear for the videos I have to put on my iPod for class reference today...

Songs Keep Dissapearing From iTunes ???

I've been having a recurring issue with every version of iTunes I've used. While scrolling through my library, I sometimes come across songs, and sometimes even whole albums that have a "!" right to the left of the track name column. When I click on any of these, I get
"The song "XXX" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?".
I click yes, and it never finds it and I have to go and re-import that track or album. It's a royal pain in the ***. ***?

NST,
i "Simply importing the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file will rebuild the "itl" file to the point it was at when you last quit iTunes. Your ratings, etc. will be retained."
While technically correct, in all practicality, if the current Library has broken links (the ITL file), then the corresponding XML file will also have the same broken links. Both files are created/written at the same time. Importing the XML file will just be recreating the broken ITL Library.
The only way this
i might
work is if the broken Library links had just manifested themselves during the startup of the current iTunes session. Otherwise, as soon as you close iTunes, new ITL and XML files are created.
Unless you have previous copies of either the ITL or XML file archived, this will not work.
Otherwise, 'Refreshing' the Library as Katrina described is your only option.
It may be possible to save the Static Playlists in XML form (via export) prior to the 'Refresh', then import them back into iTunes after the refresh. Not sure how the absolute references will play out within iTunes. You may be able to recreate the playlists....maybe not. I haven't tested this out yet.

AppleTV Dissapearing from iTunes

I have been noticing that the AppleTV keeps dissapearing from iTunes. I don't put it in standby.
The AppleTV is using wired Ethernet.
When I go to the iTunes preferences screen, it says the AppleTV is syncing. Shouldn't it always show up in iTunes?

Hi JNelson,
I have similar problems having aTV (40GB Software 2.0) disappear from iTunes (7.6.1 9) and found two possible reasons for it - unfortunately I do not have a solution for the problems. I hope the following information is helpful for you as well:
1. aTV disappears from iTunes because aTV looses its WiFi network connection
I could not find out why aTV looses the connection but the connection can easily be reestablished by just entering aTVs wireless network menu and leaving it again. I do not have to reenter the SSID and password.
2. aTV disappears from iTunes shortly after another WiFi device joins the network
I encountered the problem when I connect my ipod touch or my Notebook to my WiFi network. In this case all devices in the network are able to access the internet but iTunes and aTV are not able to reestablish their connection in a stable manner. Restarting iTunes might make aTV visible for some seconds in iTunes but the connection will drop again - even if I turn of my Notebook and ipod WiFi connection.
In both cases mentioned above the only way to reestablish the connection between aTV and iTunes seems to be rebooting aTV, iMac and WiFi router.
I'd like to know if you or anybody else having these problems can confirm that the problem might be caused (or better be initiated) by additional devices joining the network.
I suspect that somehow the additional devices or the unavailability of aTV confuse Bonjour (the software that lets iTunes find the aTV).
@all: What do you think?
Regards JoeDie

How do you transfer music from your ipod touch to the new Itunes?

How do you transfer music from your Ipod touch to the new Itunes?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. the only exception is ituens purchases.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I need to transfer content from my ipod touch to a NEW itunes account without deleting the content! help me please!!

A friend and I shared an itunes account, as we both had ipod touches. I no longer have access to that account. I have created an account of my own but I need help tranferring the content that is on my ipod touch to my new itunes. I am scared to update my ipod or syncing it because it might delete my content. I have spent A LOT of money on apps and music from itunes, and i need help! PLEASE!!

The photos are on the ipod. Photo sync will erase them. I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck. They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

ITouch randomly dissapears from iTunes during sync

I just bought a new ipod touch 16g. During syncing, the process will freeze after only a few songs, and then the ipod will dissapear from itunes. The only way to get it to come back is to cancel the sync on the ipod and then disconnect and reconnect it. There are no error messages when it happens, except for one time when I restarted itunes and i was told that my ipod had diagnostic information the could be sent to apple. I did it. I looked through the other threads, but they were all getting errors. I get no errors. Can anyone help me?

Follow the instructions [here first|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306640].
Also check out the [instructions here|http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph05956&lc=en&cc=us&d lc=en&softwareitem=pv-51941-1&os=228&product=3254002&rule=44288&lang=en#bph05956 _legacyusb].

My ipod touch keeps getting restarted. Be it while playing games or listening to music. Whats the problem here?

Oh, you do one thing, back up your iPod to iTunes. Plug your iPod to the iTunes and when it appears under devices tree on the sidebar, right click on it, and back it up.
After the backup completes, jus click on restore button. If required it will download the latest iOS from the servers (Might take sometime) and after it's downloaded, it will erase all your data and settings, restoring to factory settings.
After you have completed restoring the iPod, jus set it up as new iPod.
Sync back all the apps, music, movies.
And make sure you quit the apps, by double clicking the home button and pressing and holding the app icons and clicking on
This should help your problem anyhow!
It might be a case that the files in the apps, or the preferences might be corrupted, jus to be safe, we have a backup.

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.
