PLEASE HELP ME! ( all songs erased on pod, will not update)

Hello, here is the deal. I plugged my ipod mini into my labtop to update some songs i purchased from i tunes. Instead of updating it erased all the songs on my i pod. My software is up to date and my library is intact but it won't tranfer onto my pod. My pod is completely empty and will not upload my library
Message reads: songs for i pod "lazybones" can not be updated because all of playlists selected for updating no longer exist
I would really appreciate some help here. I have tried everything i can think of, short of erasing my entire library and importing all my CD's back into i tunes.

Check this out.

  • Please help if you can, my user ID will not log on and it has all my data in it.

    The primary user ID (an admin ID with all the valuable info I need access to) will not log on from a restart or initial power up. I was able to go into another user admin ID once and change its password which got me in once but now no passcodes will work.
    The primary admin user will not log on at all. it doesn't give any error messages. It just flashs for a moment and then goes back to the user selection screen. I have the same apple ID on my iphone and can access all iCloud items associated with it. Just the user won't work. Another admin user and guest user work fine.
    Before the user crashed we had some internet issues where it wouldn't log onto our shared network at our complex which has about a dozen registered users associated. Some sources have suggested that we were hacked and that security problems have shut down that user. We were in the British Virhin Islands when it happened. We are in the US now and the other user IDs are still working gone and the new Internet source was picked up through wifi without any trouble.
    There is is so much info In that user ID that we need access to. I tried to use timemachine through the other admin but it will not reset through it. I have an external HD time machine backed up as of Feb 15 which would get us back most of the data, but I can't seem to reload that info either. Should I wipe out the whole system and start again? Maybe just erase that user? I'm not sure how to even do that...
    thanks for for any and all assistance!

  • I recently upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, but now all songs purchased from iTunes will not play via my phone. Any idea how to fix this problem?

    I upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, after a few initial problems and two restores, everythings seemed to be working...until I went to play some music, all music loaded to itunes via CD's played, but ALL purchased music from itunes does not play...i click on the song and the screen flashes to the image then goes back to the list of songs, so the purchased music shows up...just does not play.  Can anyone help resolve this problem? Thanks!

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • Please help!! ipad is disabled and will not do a hard reset to go into recovery mode.

    i cannot do a force reset... When i hold in the home and sleep/wake button nothing happens, I have tried these same steps over and over again. Neither the apple or the itunes logo ever pop up.. The screen just stays black. I recently replaced the digitizer after my son cracked the screen. I have made sure that nothing was injured during repair. I did put the digitizer ribbon in wrong and then the screen was not working correctly. I had put the ribbon in backwards. So after the first wrong installation of the digitizer, i tried to unlock the screen with my passcode but it obviously wasn't working.. i would touch the number for the passcode but the screen would respond somewhere else..so i kept getting the passcode wrong and then BAM! Ipad disabled.. so i took a break from the frustration... When i returned to my ipad i took it back apart and thats when i realized that i had the digitizer ribbon in backwards, so i fixed it and replaced the screen once again.. But now the ipad is disabled, and for some reason it will not respond when i try to shut it down all the way, no red slider at all...so i bout a apple data transfer cable and i tried to connect it to itunes and hold the buttons like i read to do in the article, and my computer recognizes that my ipad is there,,, it tells me that i have to allow access and to respond on my ipad.. but sadly i cannot.. nothing appears on the ipad.. it stays a black screen and then when i lt go the "ipad is disabled" screen comes on.....
    Then i read online that i could restore from icloud.com, so i go there, i sign in just fine but my ipad is not listed in the devices there either... it says " No Devices, You must be signed into iOS8 settings or Mac OS Yosemite system preferences to see devices."
    And i dont believe the ipad is up to date, it had been unused for about 2 months, until last week when i attempted to fix it so im sure the operating system is old :-(
    So im totally lost, I dont have a clue what to do to get my device recognized. I would really appreciate any help that anyone can give,, Thank you so much in advance!!!

  • GB Display Amount Error. Pod will not Update?

    So for the past couple days I have been unable to update my Ipod. Using V6, I maunally add music to my ipod, but none of it is showing up. Than I switched over to automatic, to add all the songs in my current library with edited titles that I made, and the Ipod stil doesnt register the change. It will not let me add the music. There is also an error in the GB display it says that 1000 plus songs are taking up 17GB out of the 30 I have. That isn't right. Last week I had 6000 or so and it took up less than that. Im at a loss for what to do. I rest it and that didnt work. I uploaded V7 and same problem, it also gives me this error, "The Ipod '' cannot be updated. the File or Directory is corrupted and unreadable." SOMEONE please help.

    it might be worth checking on the possibility from the following document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • ITunes updates songs, playlists, etc., but will not update iPod options

    When I plug in my iPod (4G, 40GB), everything syncs as it should --songs, playlists, podcasts, etc. The same is true when I manually choose to update the pod. (i.e. from a context menu or somewhere else in the UI) However, I am unable to change any of the options for the iPod. This includes renaming, choosing disk access, etc.
    When I attempt to make these changes from the "Preferences" dialog, iTunes will say "Updating iPod," etc. but while the changes appear in iTunes, they are not actually made on the iPod itself.
    A similar situation occurs when renaming the iPod. Same as before, iTunes "goes through the motions" but doesn't actually change. The difference is that after the iPod is renamed, it will no longer update until the iPod is ejected and reconnected. iTunes gives an error message saying: "The iPod '[New Name]' cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." The name listed in the iPod's About menu is still the old name.
    Info:
    iTunes version: 6.0.4.2 (Win)
    iPod firmware: 3.1.1
    iPod connected via firewire
    Gateway 500SE   Windows XP Pro   XP Pro SP2, P4 2.0Ghz, 1GB RAM

    iPod freezing up can sometimes indicate a hard drive failure. To determine this, follow these steps:
    Press menu + select until the apple logo appears.
    With the apple logo still on the screen, press and hold select + rewind. You will soon see a screen that says "IRAM PASS HIT PLAY CONTINUE".
    Press play/pause.
    Using the forward button, navigate to "HDD SCAN" and select it.
    Connect your iPod to the wall adapter.
    Allow sufficient time for the scan to complete, it can take a couple of hours. Results such as a "HDD PASS" that appears in seconds or a minute or two, "SCAN NG" or "RD FAIL" indicate the iPod's hard drive is pooched and the unit will have to be replaced.
    Freezing during sync can also happen if the ports are not high powered USB 2.0.

  • IPod crashed. Need help gettin my songs back when computer will NOT sync with iPod

    My iPod crashed and now I can't get all my music off iTunes to put back on my iPod, also I can't get my iPod and computer to sync. What should I do? I spent over $200 for a new 8 GB 4th gen.

    Hi Ashley...
    My iPod crashed
    You need to restore your iPod before trying to sync with iTunes.

    If the iPod won't show up under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list, try here >   iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Try doing a Restart/Reset.  In this case, it would be the Reset procedure if it does not turn on normally.

  • Can't sync new contacts from Outlook to iphone 6.  Turned off all add-ns and still will not update.

    Did the suggestion on the Apple site for contacts.  When I do the sync I can see the new contact in my contact list then it goes away when the sync finishes.

    @ Laurent P.
    Some things to try.
    Reset Sync History. To do this on a Mac, open iSync in your Applications folder. Once open, click the iSync menu and choose Preferences. Small window opens with a Reset Sync History button. Does not delete any data, just don't expect your next sync to be super quick.
    Also, under the Info tab in iTunes, choose the Advanced option of replacing everything on the iPhone with what is on the computer. If it works, be sure to uncheck that setting. I think it is a one time check only thing, but be sure.
    Wait...
    I just noticed you said MobileMe...if you use MobileMe to sync your stuff, flip Contacts Off then back On. If that doesn't work, delete the MobileMe account on the iPhone and re-add it.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset (both buttons for about 10 sec. ignore slide to power off), and reset network settings.
    Also, does the Mac contacts show up in MobileMe? If they don't, go to System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync tab and check your settings. Perform a sync too. Under the Advanced button you can Reset Sync Data and choose to replace MobileMe stuff with stuff on your computer or vice versa.

    I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
    Anything I haven't tried?
    HELP!

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

    I have updated my Imac to Mavericks and now my parallells won't work and I have reinstalled as per the instructions. Please help as all my data is on a hardrive that is formatted for PC.

    Yes I just discovered that this morning but I have purchased another external harddrive and formatted it for both and am in the process of transferring the files across it and then I will erase the old harddrive and reformat it so I can use it.
    I have learnt to format harddrives from this experience but am happy to see the back of parallells.
    Thank you for your help though it is much appreciated.

    Hi Samantha,
    Are you aware that if you restore your ipad that you will lose all data from your ipad and very difficult to get it back unless you had previously made a back-up of your data on itunes or in the cloud. and that would be on the computer you set those up on. (There are some independent apps out there that might help restore data but I don't have any experience with them...)
    Also, I think if you restore on another computer you're supposed to have administrator rights and have the latest itunes update. And I think if you sync (if restoring is considered syncing with another computer, you'll be locked out of your computer or a new one.)
    I don't know if there is a way for you to safely eject your ipad from your mom's laptop and find another way, but please read this
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
    Also, I suggest you start a new post and title it something like First, stuck on update and now on Restore on another computer. Please HELP! And then tell the story of your problem that you originally included and your follow-up efforts to restore given a suggestion on previous post (though I think you SHOULD AVOID RSTORE if you can.) And refer them to your original post

    Hope this helps and if you can get back to your ios before the upgrade, stay with it. I hope it all works out for you.
    FYI - If it's a new or refurb bought within the past year you might be able to have it replaced by Apple.
