Ipod nano third generation: no music after sync.

I have a Ipod nano third generation upgraded from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3. Now it shows no music music after syncing. In itunes however, it shows data on my ipod. This can't be removed, unless I restore my ipod. Syncing videos and pictures do work fine. I have a G5 OS10.4.11, itunes 9.2.1
Can anyone give me some help?

For sure. Sorry I couldn't bring better news.
You can find some pretty cheap repair quotes from 3rd party repair companies. It might not hurt to look into it.

When I try to do anything with my music after syncing my iPhone3 iTunes freezes. How do I fix?

When I try to do anything with my music after syncing my iPhone3 iTunes freezes. I plug in my iPhone to the computer and iTunes appears to sync phone and allows me to download pictures but when I try to move music to or from my cell iTunes freezes. I don't know what to do to fix this. I am not very tech saavy.

It sounds like iTunes has been freezing on you, take a look at this article to troubleshoot.

ITunes changing the ID3 tags and deleting music after syncing or opening

After syncing (or opening iTunes), iTunes changes the tags in about 25% of my music (this time it was about 90% affected). It removes the total track number on some of the songs. This has been a consistent problem. I noticed that it also actually erased some of my music, random tracks in my library are now missing (gone in windows explorer also). I have reformatted my iPod and restored it, it's not that. What is going on!! Going through and fixing 7500 songs every time I sync is ******* me off
Here is a picture of what it is doing: removing the total track on some songs

Forgot to mention that it also copied the artist field data to the album artist field... had to erase all of those too

Mine is doing the exact same thing. It happens every time I click on a song. Weird letter-number strings are inserted into the Comments field, my album art is gone, and the track numbers are messed up.
I've tried upgrading to the new iTunes. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I turned off my soundcheck option and deleting potentially comprised files. Nothing's worked.
I've tried emailing Apple directly and got no help. Anyone know what's going on???

IPod classic displays 'No music' after sync, HDD problem? Geschiedenis • Verwijder So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn't find any files on the iPod anymore. H

So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
Thanks in advance!

Hi turingtest2,
Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists?

Can i retrieve all my lost music after syncing to a new computer

just backed up my ipad to my new macbook and have lost all my music..help..devastated :/

If you synced to a new iTunes library that did not contain all of your music and didn't transfer the music first, then that would cause you to lose all of your music. You can only sync what is already in the iTunes library. If the library is empty when you sync, that erases your device.
But what puzzles me is that you should have gotten a message from iTunes alerting you that the contents would be erased if you synced the iPad. Did you get the message? If you did, did you ignore it and why would you ignore it if you did get it?
If the music was purchased from iTunes, you may be able to download much of it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Read this for more information.

If the music was imported from CD's and you no longer have the CD's or the old computer, there is no way to retrieve it.

Ipod Touch shows more "music" after sync than is on Ipod

Hi,
I received an Ipod Touch for Christmas last year, it's been updated to iOS 5.0.1 but no farther. Since December, the Ipod is showing that I have (currently) 1.4G more music tracks than are really there, but only after I hit the "Sync" button in Itunes. The "Music" bar goes from 47.6G to 49G, and usually will not drop back down after the sync is over, and the amount of "lost" data has increased over time. The Ipod itself says I have 47.6G of music on the device, not 49G. I manually drag and drop my tracks, I do not use automatic sync.Today I right clicked on the Ipod through Itunes, hit "Backup", and after doing the back up it showed 1.4G missing from the Ipod. Could the backup be corrupted?
I can't figure out where this "ghost" data is going. I have downloaded podcasts directly onto the Ipod, I have cancelled syncs due to the "greying out" of tracks, I have deleted tracks off the Ipod through the Ipod - I don't know if any or all of that is cauing the problem.
I hesitate to do a "restore from backup" as all the "music" on the Ipod are audiobooks, which I keep in the "Music" section of the firmware. I have read that the restore *may* return all my tracks to the Ipod, or it *may not*. As it's a 64G Ipod, that's a lot of audiobooks I will have to find on backup and reformat if the tracks don't return. Also, as I have no idea WHY it's happening, I have no idea how to prevent it from happeneing again. The idea of having to do a biannual reformatting of the Ipod to reclaim lost gig fills me with distaste.
I have not called Apple as I have no idea if I used my free call or not, I don't have "Apple Care", and I haven't taken it to the "Genius Bar". I just thought maybe someone here has had a similar issue or maybe knows what's going on with the Ipod.
Thanks for your time!

the laptop is about 6 years old and runs a wobbly windows XP pro on 1,5 GB RAM (transfer speed is 0,5 GB/hr, not really an option) and the main PC runs Vista 64 4GB RAM.
Same version of the same antivirus program, both are set to scan ipod only on demand. Exchange of drive letter did not make any difference.
Neither port change or exchange of cable did make any difference until the latest itunes update everything worked fine (no other updates made around that time).
After a complete deinstall and reinstall of an older version of iTunes - no change.
Complete format of ipod and "let itunes find ipod to restore" - no change.
Checked all involved drives and media - no errors - no change.
Restore Pod on laptop and move over to main PC - no change.
I'm getting rather frustrated as I simply cannot figure out what is the problem.
The most bugging part is I use mostly audiobooks (audible format) so Songbird is not an option either as very few other programs have aa/aax plugins (which is the only reason I'm using iTunes). Last time I used the pod, I simply wanted to sync the library, no errors, no hiccups, eject and ... no audiobooks, no music, but 111 GB of other.

Lost mail inbox after sync - help!

After a recent new version of iTunes was downloaded onto the iMac, the my iPhone (version 4.2.10) mail inbox was empty after the first sync. The only way I can find to retrieve the emails is to resend them to myself. This is at least the 3rd time this has happened, although I honestly don't recall if the other 2 were on the first sync after a change to iTunes. I did not change any settings on the phone, but it sure seems as if I have something set incorrectly. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

No Music after upgrade, help?

I upgraded to iOS 5.0 on my iPad 2. I used my dell laptop but none of my music shows up on my iPad in the new music icon?? Any suggestions?
PaThug

Assuming that the Dell was the computer that you always used to sync the iPad with and that the music is in your iTunes library - Try syncing with iTunes on your computer again. Make sure that all of the music is selected in the Music Tab in the iTunes window on the right and then sync again.

Itunes on iPhone 3gs requires "Download" after sync -- Help!

I've done a full sync of music and TV shows from iTunes to my iPhone... However, I can't play any of these files: they show up in my "purchased" folder on my iPhone but have the "download"/"cloud"/"download all" icon next to them. I've turned off the wireless updates... and they seem to be transferring during the usb sync from iTunes. I've tried to delete my music and TV shows from my iPhone and re-sync ... nothing works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks --

If it works on 3G and not on wifi, I suspect it's being blocked by your wifi router. You'll need to check the settings on your router.
