Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
Thanks,
regan101

yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

  • All my apps have been deleted and I can't install them back.

    All my apps have been deleted when I turned my phone off and back on. However, my storage stayed the same as if I still had those apps. I am unable to re install my apps back. How do I get my apps back?

    I had forgot to add the picture part. So basically my apps were crashing last night, so I decided to turn my phone off and on. When i turned it back on, my apps had deleted and I couldn't re install them. I restarted my phone and this morning all my pictures were missing. My phone still says "restoring" but it only restored half of my pictures and the other half is still gone...
    This doesn't make any sense.
    powering off your phone and back on won't make you lose apps or pictures.
    Are you restoring your phone from an icloud backup?

  • All my notes have been deleted and I can't get them back

    M-My notes had doubled so. Deleted the doubled up notes when I went on the app late they had all dissapeared my phine and ipad have since synced with icloud again is thee anyway of retrieving them I am desperate

    You probably deleted them yourself and they weren't actually doubled. If you have a recent backup, restore that backup (you may want to get any pictures off the phone since the backup) to see if your notes are contained in the backup.

  • My Iphone 5 wont turn on, so the battery/screen/charger/LEDpanel have been replaced and still it wont turn on. HELP?

    My iPhone 5 randomly turned off, so I thought it needed charging. It still didn't turn on which then lead to me replacing the charger. After this didn't work I got the screen, LED panel and battery replaced. The phone still wont turn on
    So now after paying for all this, it makes me feel like the iPhone was just a waste of money, if anyone has experienced anything similar.. PLEASE HELP?

    Obviously i would not know about your mate, likely he us doing his best.
    Apple might not sell parts, try getting bits for a Sinclair C5. but many still run around including two of mine.
    many genuine repair guys buy old even, faulty, broken even brand new phones just for bits, many sold on auction sites, the seller likely putting the funds back into a new or working second hand unit.
    guys, its a bit off knocking them without knowing the individual first and at least thinking first.
    Your handset suddenly stopped, don't mean the whole brand or model range is rubbish, kack happens when you have high volume items with millions of transistors inside, just take one. It might have got, condensation - even in your pocket unless you don't sweat (look at the detectors), dropped hard causing a fracture, dropping soft finished it off and now its failed. All conjecture so best shot is wait for the appointment, get advice and have it checked out.
    At least Apple have these help centres.

  • I have an iPod Classic and when I try to move songs from my library to my iPod, my iTunes freezes. When I tried to eject my iPod, nothing happened and I had to force quit iTunes. When I unplugged my iPod, all of my songs had been deleted. What can I do?

    After attempting to move songs from my iTunes library to my iPod Classic, the pinwheel kept spinning and iTunes froze. I tried pressing CTRL E to eject the iPod, but nothing happened. I unplugged the iPod then force quit iTunes, but when I checked my iPod all of the songs had been deleted. I tried plugging the iPod back in and slowly moved music over again, but iTunes still froze. I don't want to restore it to factory settings because I am afraid of losing the pictures I have on there and can't figure out how to get them off.

    Are you using a Macbook?
    If all your songs on the iPod are deleted, most likely the photios are gone too.
    Unless you put the photos, via Diskmode.
    To recover the photos that you've put in Diskmode, use Finder to locate where it is in the iPod.
    Try also if iPhoto can locate those photos.

    PLEASE HELP

    Photobooth and iPhoto are two quite different apps with no connection between them. I'd try the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

  • After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

    After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
    I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone. 
    After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!) 
    Is there any way I can get my songs back? 
    When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans  the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
    Thanks

  • All of my iTunes music/apps have been deleted, and my iPod is being recognized as a digital camera by the computer. Help?

    Hi!
    I went on my iTunes today, and it kept saying "
    The itunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" I restarted my computer and opened iTunes, only to find that all of my apps and songs have been deleted. When I plug in my iPod, it says that this iPod is registered with another computer. My computer, however, is recognizing my iPod as a digital camera, with the name of my father's iPod. I have no idea how to fix this and get all of my songs/apps back. Someone please help!

    Check your iTunes version - although your 5th gen works with older iTunes versions, at least 7.4 is required for the IPT - older versions will not even recognize it.
    As for the Apple site not working, there have been sporadic reports of that, no known reason, usually resolved in a few hours.
    You could also try updating using Apple Software Update (usually found in Start > All Programs), or from within iTunes (Help menu > Check for Updates).
    Hope this helps...

  • Songs have been deleted

    "songs on the ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist"
    all my songs have been deleted from my ipod because I accidently deleted the ipod selection button on the left side of itunes. All my songs are still on my library but I need to put them back on my ipod!

    The same thing has happened to me!!! I recieved the "ipod selection" because my ipod nano library was bigger than my ipod storage space, but I deleted many of the songs since then. My nano hold 500 songs, and I have 498 songs now. I thought that by deleting the "ipod selection", the 498 songs in my library would be the songs on my ipod, but now I have nothing on my ipod and all the songs remain in my music library! I NEED them back in my ipod as soon as possible!!!!!
    HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "all files have been deleted..."

    i noticed the other day that a good chunk of my songs were not playing properly. at random moments during songs a half second of another song would interrupt the current song and then skip forward one song. i thought i'd restore my ipod and reload all the songs again. now my computer is having trouble recognizing the ipod. i can only restore the ipod if the computer has been off for x amount of hours. once i restore the ipod and then try to transfer my library i get a warning that says that its having problems saving all the files to the ipod and that all files have been deleted. it will only save the first two songs of the library. if i try to play the second song the ipod freezes up. if i try to restore the ipod again the computer will not recognize it unless i turn off the computer and wait. i've tried resetting the ipod while still connected to the computer but to no avail. i've tried this numerous times. hopefully someone out there can help.

    CarlaR2010,
    I take it that your mum has not made a habit of making regular backups to an external disk?
    There are data recovery services that can often recover deleted files; however, their services are quite expensive. To maximize the chance of recovery, have your mum do a shut down from the Apple menu and don’t use the MacBook Pro again until you’ve chosen a data recovery service, given them your MacBook Pro, and have received it back from them.

    I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    It might be caused by storage "buffering".  If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.
