Restore button unavailable, iTunes not copying any music to ipod since 7.3
I don't know if it is related to my problems, but I just updated to iTunes 7.3 via software update. I synced my iPod for the first time yesterday. When I went to browse the music on the iPod, it showed that there were no items listed under Playlist, music, artist, song, etc... The ipod has all of my photos, calendars, and contacts on it, but no music. iTunes is telling me that the ipod has my entire library on it along with playlists. When I go to about on the ipod itself, it says that I have 6 GB of music on there, but I am unable to play it. I have tried restoring on a different computer, restoring with windows and then restoring with a mac to make sure that everything is wiped off, but no matter what, my computer isn't letting me put music on this ipod. Any ideas?
I'll give you other alternatives:

Hi I followed instructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC. I can see albums listed in the library but SYNCH will not put any music on my new iPod.
It took three weeks to import my CDs on the old PC and I don't want to do it again!
Can anyone help ?Take a look here; it should help:
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
Regards.

My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today. We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it. It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?
So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow. -
So basicly I was trying to figure out on how to get all my album art back on my 160gb Ipod Classic. It showed in itunes but not on my ipod. My cover flow was full of Question marks. Having 140gb of music ir was fustrating manually putting it back on to each album. This happened a few months ago. So the 5 or 6gb of new music i put on since this happened is on my Ipod and show in my coverflow on my Ipod.
It came to a point where i had to leave my computer and noticed that my ipod was still in a synchnnizing stage and seemed like it was frozen. Having to leave the computer I had to unplug the ipod. By doing so, when i turned it on it said that i had no songs on my Ipod. When plugged into my itunes it also says no songs but at the bottom of the itunes screen it shows there is 140gb of "other Information" with 1.5 gb remaining but not music. I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder. I have had a few different computers since this new ipod has music from ages ago from an old 30gb classic and have transfered over the years on multiple computers (so restoring or syncing to this computer is out of the question). Thus all the ratings and playlist are very dear to me. Hundreds of hours invested in this ipod OVER 6 Years. It seems like there is some file missing or needed to link everything together.
I have spent endless hours trying many diffferent aproches. Like one forum said go into AL'S IPOD>IPOD CONTROL>ITUNES.. when in there they said to look for a file called ITunesDB and another called ITunesD8.old and switch them and rename ITunesD8.old_mlpmp but i only have the ituned DB not the ItunesDB.old
I also tried
Also when i plug in my ipod a notice in windows says "DO YOU WANT TO SCAN AND FIX E>AL'S IPOD
There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you
remove the device or disc before all files have been writen to it
SCAN AND FIX (RECOMMENDED)
this will prevent future problems when copying files to this device or disc
OR
CONTINUE WITHOUT SCANNING
So i figure the problem started when i went into my control panel and chose show all hidden files so i can look at my files in the Ipod_control and was fooling around with the preference area by selecting the read only icon and disabling the hidden icon. I tried reversing this before ejecting my ipod but it was stuck in the Synchronizing do not disconnect mode and would not eject. Everytime i did try to eject it said in itunes with a yellow triangle saying " files or folders are in use in another area and cannot eject" even tho everyting has been closed......
ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX??????? THANKS FOR YOUR TIMEA bit confused by your statement

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. -
Windows iTunes not playing any music
I have iTunes and just recently it is not playing music. Other music files will not play as I have set iTunes as my default player. But videos will play. Also, when I play music on another media player like Windows Media Player and RealPlayer music plays. In iTunes the pinhead telling the time of the song does not move. On my keyborad I have always been able to press a button that would raise, lower or mute audio. I cannot change the volume of the computer and whenever i press the mute button it says "Mute Off" no matter how many times I push it. Finally, in the bottom right hand corner of the computer where the small icons are there used to be a volume control button. That is no longer there and I have set Windows to always have it in the toolbar. If anyone could help me it would be great! Thanks.
Compaq Windows XPokay, that rules out a creepy possibility.
let's try for some more standard problems.
if you're running itunes 5.0.0.35, 5.0.1.3, 6.0.0.18 or 6.0.1.3
try:
iTunes for Windows: Audio files do not play in iTunes 5 or 6
if you're running a higher version of itunes, or the compatibility settings thing doesn't seem to be a factor
try a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.4 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes play back properly again?

ITunes not copying Album Artwork to iPod
I have iTunes set up so that it automatically downloads missing album artwork, and it does download, but when sync the iPod, the album artwork is not synced—I have to copy and paste it.
Is this a bug?

I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?
What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often. -
Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music
Itunes 11.4 will not sync any music to iPad 2 mini or iPhone 3GS after upgrade. I have tried a full restore and hard resets on the iPhone. I have tried multiple combinations of checking and unchecking the boxed related to transfers and automatic syncing.
I hit the sync button and only for a brief second does it appear to attempt to sync and then nothing further happens. It seems to abort with no error message. Any assistance would be appreciated or thumbs up from those with similar problems after a recent upgrade.
I am using OS 10.6.8.
Thank you!i'm in the same boat. setting up my iPhone 6 as a new device (as i've done numerous of times with my other iDevices). i've had zero luck on transferring my library and playlist over to my new iPhone 6. I do nothing different than what i've done before. I'm experiencing the same thing as the OP. It goes through the steps pretty quick and the storage capacity at the bottom shrinks a few GB's for my playlist i'm adding, then it reverts back to what it's currently at and does nothing, no errors.

Can not copy any songs or videos from iTunes to iPhone after reinstall Windows 7
I am experiencing trouble with my iPhone. I have to reinstalled my Windows 7 OS due to some trouble. When I reinstalled everything include iTunes back, it can not automatically back up my iPhone to iTunes like it used to. Also, I can not copy any songs and/or videos from iTunes to my iPhone. Fortunately, the application can be restored thanks to the new iTunes version.
Does anyone know how could I restore all my previous services I got before the reinstallation? Help!!
Many thanks..Did you create a backup of your music and videos before you reinstalled windows?

HT1386 I have a brand new Iphone 5, I use Itunes 10.7 I can not get any music on my Iphone,
I have a new Iphone 5
Add a new music cd to the library and then sync music
Also tried manual
TRied on several computers for some hours and evenings
Can not get any music on my Iphone at all
Sometimes I get informed that after copy some are not copied as they have the wrong formet
Also tried with a new CD
No fault during sync, but no musicGood.
Three things come to mind:
1. I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well. Is that right?
2. Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna? Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
3. AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot". You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area. Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish). -

I have iTunes turned on, but do not see any music from the cloud (with the little cloud prefix in front of the song) on my MacBook Pro.
iCloud only allows you to access your music from iCloud in two ways. First, you can redownload music previously purchased from the iTunes store (in many countries), as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. Second, you can access your iTunes library from iCloud (up to 25,000 songs) if you subscribe to iTunes Match. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.
