Using those, can you get the iPod to restore? Can you get it into Disk Mode (it may take several attempts)?

  • "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." What is this?

    I have been getting this error message since about the end of June when I updated to the latest version of iTunes. It's pretty annoying. Let me lay out how this has been happening for the past month, the best I can. I have a 32GB 4th gen iPod Touch
    I load content up to my iPod. Music, Apps, Videos, pictures, etc.
    My iPod works well for a little while, days sometimes a week is the longest I went without seeing this message.
    I connect iPod back to my laptop through the standard pack in Apple USB connector.
    I get the "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." message. When I go to the preferences tab, I click restore and iTunes gets stuck trying to restore my iPod. Then I have to uplug my iPod. And Shutdown/Restart my PC reconnect my iPod, and go through the restore process again.
    I have been doing this for as I said, a month. It's getting pretty grueling to keep havomh putting cotent on my iPod after these restores.
    I've tried everything.
    I've stopped autosync, it still happens.
    I tried to reinstall iTunes(be it I didn't full uninstall before trying to install again and got the option to fix corrupted files and such
    I've deleted all old back up, and it still happens
    Today is the fist time I'm fully uninstalling iTunes, and then reinstalling to see if this works.
    But do you guys have any otehr solutions for this? As I said, this didn't start happening until I installed the lastest version of iTunes 10.6.3

    - Have you tried another cable?
    - Another USB port?
    - When you have the problem, connect it to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
    - Try just restoring the iPod to factory settings/new iPod. Do not restore from backup. If you still have the problem with this and all computer that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I asked " how do I get my songs from my itunes library to my ipod?" and you said to sync to ipod.  Now, I did see that on the left hand side, but now it's gone.  What do I do? I tried "file" and sync, but it did not do anything.

    I asked, "how do I get my songs from my itunes library to my ipod?" and you said to sync it to the ipod.  I saw that at one time on the left side, but it's not there anymore.  I tried clicking on "file" and then on sync, but it didn't work.  The word was lighter than the others, so I figured I would not be able to click on it.

  • ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

    Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
    HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
    WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
    I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
    A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

    I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

  • I lost my ipod touch and i didnt enable find my ipod touch. is there any way i can still track it?

    I lost my ipod in my house and ive torn the house apart looking for it. I never enabled the Find My iPod Touch thingy because i never knew about it. Is there any way i could still make it make a sound or track it down to a point. I really need to find it, this is the first new ipod touch ive ever had and i havent even had it for a year. I have no clue where it is and i need to find it.

    No. Find my iPod touch is the only way to track it. When updating to iOS 5.0, you were asked if you wanted to use Find my iPod touch, and the only way to get past that screen is to select Yes or No. In order for you not to have it, you must have selected No.

  • I lost my ipod today and i tried using "find my ipod" in icloud using my friend's ipod and i found out my location services was turned off. please help. i'm desperate. i paid for it and its the 5th gen. HELP.

Even though this is SUPER important to me, it may not be to them. ik this is all my fault. mother always said "dont leave it in your back pocket" and of course i do while i skateboard. wow. im stupid. i need to gaurd that thing with my life. its very expensive. please help. this ipod is like my life. it was logged onto instagram and facebook and a bunch of social sites. yes, i have a lock on it but cant they go to a store and say "i forgot my password" and they hack into it? i changed my instagram password and apple ID password so far. but i really need to find this ipod. tomorrow im going to the park to look for it in the grass. HOPEFULLY IT IS THERE. then im going to the apple store if i dont find it. i will go to extreme measures for this ipod. ITS THE FIFTH GEN. BLUE. its beautiful. i already broke my 4th gen ipod like 2 times. but thank you for reading all this.. i need help D:

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing

    There is little chance of recovering your iPod. The police will do little. It it is turned then they can contact you.

  • My Ipod synced and now says its my wifes Ipod, how do I get it to my settings?

    I plugged my Ipod into my computer, and it started to auto sync, I stopped it before I lost all my apps, but it reconfigured my IPOD Touch to my wife's settings, including when I try to download anything it asks for her password, not mine. How do I reset my IPOD so it's mine again and not a clone of my wife's?

    - Restore the iPod from the backup of your iPod.
    - Otherwise, restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod. If you do that by iTunes, make sure that iTunes is signed into your iTunes account and you are in your iTunes library.

  • IPod music and videos gone; can't locate iPod Controls

    this has just happened to me.
    i double clicked on a song to play, while my iPod was patched into my computer. it started playing, and i clicked up in the now playing portion to skip through part of the song. everything is now gone. i got a new computer because my old one had crashed out. The computer is 3 days old and Today (day of the problem) is the third day i've been using my iPod in the exact same way, and I have been used it this way on my old computer since December. for the record i manually update, and since my old computer is crashed out i cannot simply resynch. also, when i reconnected my iPod after the problem it wanted me to go thru the same process as when your iPod is brand new (naming, choosing auto update or not, register).
    Could it be that when i installed a more current version of iTunes/iPod software, the i Pod erased from an update or something?
    If so, why would it do this now and not three days ago when i first plugged my iPod into my new computer with the new iTunes/iPod software?
    Lastly, I noticed others who have had a similar problem were able to recover their music by going into the iPod through My Computer and going to a iPod control folder, then to a music folder. I can't find either in my iPod, or anywhere on my computer. The only files in there are Calendars, Contacts, Notes (none of which i ever used) and Photos (and all of my photos were still there, giving me hope my music and videos are still there somewhere). Does anyone know how I can find it?

    also, when i reconnected my iPod after the problem it wanted me to go thru the same process as when your iPod is brand new (naming, choosing auto update or not, register).
    hmmmm. with that symptom, we'd better check on this possibility:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    you might have to put the ipod into disk mode to get her to show up in Disk Management:

  • HT1329 my computer crashed a few months ago and i lost my itunes library...can i plug my ipod in and all the songs on the ipod will transfer to the new library

    need to know if i can upload my ipod to itunes library with out losing any of the music...my computer crashed a couple of months ago and i lost all my itunes stuff...

    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
