Songs deleted off of iPod, after I deleted "iPod selection"

Hi! I DESPERATELY need help! (I can't live without my music)
I have the 2nd generation, 4 GB nano, and when I synced my songs today, iTunes (the newest version available on the apple website) told me that all of my songs in iTunes cannot fit in my iPod. So it asked me if I wanted to create an "iPod selection" so my songs would be synced, so I said yes.
After turning on my iPod, I noticed that all my playlists were gone, and this "iPod selection" had replaced all of them. So, I went back to iTunes, deleted the "iPod selection", and went back to my iPod thinking all my old playlists would be there, but ALL MY MUSIC IS GONE! Luckily, I have all my songs backed up on my computer, but now my iPod is EMPTY, and I have no idea how to re-sync my songs!
Whenever I try to sync, it tells me "it cannot be synced because all of the playlists for syncing no longer exist".
I would really appreciate some help, thanks!!

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

ITunes says no space on iPods after data deletion

We own two iPods, a 3rd generation and a 5th generation. We recently used them to transfer data to another computer by enabling them as hard disks in iTunes. Now, although we've deleted this data from our iPods, iTunes still says that our iPods have "Other Space" used up. My daughter's upset because she's worried she can't put more songs on her iPod. I'd like mine to have a bit more space as well.
Any way we can fix this? Thanks.

If you haven't emptied the Trash with the iPods connected, do so; if you already have, click here and follow the instructions.

How to delete audiobook from iPod after completely deleting it from iTunes library and synching it?

I no longer have the CD from the book. It isn't on my PC, but it's still on my iPod Touch. Any suggestions??

When you swipe the book left or right does a delete button then show?

How do I get my songs back on my computer after erroneously deleting them

Restore them from your backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud.

How do i delete an Apple id after my old ipod touch 1G was stolen

Having problem after my ipod touch got pinched from my mates car. He left it open by the beach duh!
So now someone else knows my ID - it is floating about somewhere in the settings and acount info on my old device right?
Can I swop that old Apple ID which was a @Yahoo account and get Apple to just allow me to sign in under my icloud.com address only?
Feeling quite gutted about losing the ipod but more so about the ID security issue.
Can anyone help with what maybe a dunce's question?
Its just I tried tinkering with the Account settings like this:
Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same.
Your Apple ID will be easier to remember, and your account will be easier to access and manage.
Change your Apple ID and primary email address to:
But it never takes effect. So how can I stop Apple allowing anyone access to my account by using this email to log in?
I'll take my chances with remembering a new email address - so long as its not on the ipod that got lost I dont mind.
PS: there was no email account setting on the ipod touch as I just used it for music/video storage only

If I read you correctly, your main reason for wanting to take action is so that whoever stole your iPhone will not know your Apple ID.
To my knowledge, there's no way to log out of your Apple ID on your iPhone, seeing as it's stolen. You may as well erase your iPhone, since it's lost anyways. To do that, go to icloud.com and then Find My iPhone. You can find your iPhone and erase it from there.

How do I get songs completely off of my iPhone without deleting them completely?

Before iTunes updated to iOS7, I was able to have selected songs on my iPhone and only those would appear. But now every song on my iTunes is on my phone.

You go to Settings, scroll down, till you see Facebook. You can switch the contacts off. You won't see your facebook-friends in your contactlist anymore :)

How can I get my email to delete off my computer as I delete it off my phone?

I can't seem to sync my phone to my computer when I delete my email. I have to delete from my phone and then log in to my Cox email to delete from there. Is there a way to get it off both at the same time? I have a POP address with cox.

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Select your Mail account > Advanced > Delete fro server > change it to when removed from my inbox
Another option is to forward your Cox email to your iCloud email account. iCloud uses IMAP not POP so you would not have that problem

Can't update iPod after having run iPod Updater

I brought an iPod video (30Gb) a few weeks ago. I ran the iPod updater yesterday as prompted but now every time I connect my it to my G5 iMac iTunes will get as far as showing the progress bar of the first track to be transfered but then come up with an error message saying "The iPod "Name" cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-208). I've tried using the iPod Updater to wipe the iPod and replace everything on there, but after that I just got same message. I even tried reinstalling iTunes, even though I'm running the latest version.
Apple, if this isn't sorted soon I'll be demanding a refund, because your update has made my product almost unusable.
Also, why on earth is there not a tech support phone number?!
iPod video (30Gb) Mac OS X (10.4.4) iTunes 6.0.2 (23), iPod Updater 2006-01-10.app

5{ms that something is not right with your iTunes library. Try this http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61031

If you still need to call Apple, the phone number is available at the bottom of the page in the "Contact Us" link.

How do you set your deleted e-mail on the ipod from deleting off the providers server?

How do I keep messages I delete off my i-pod from deleting from my provider's server? I have another smart phone and when I delete a message off my ipod it deleted from the server and from my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

If the mail account is a IMAP or Exchange account that is how it works. Those accounts synchronize mail on all devices.
If the mail account is a POP3 account the go to Settings>Mail>the mail account>Advanced>Deleted Messages>Remove and set to never.

Video files will not trenafer to my iPod after re-installing iTunes

iTunes was only updating about 1/3 of the the playlist and would stop. The Apple genious suggested I reinstall iTunes. Now all the video is missing from my iPod. They are still in my playlist but will not update. I set the Video tab to "Automatically update all videos" but when I go back to update, it is reset back to "Do not update video". I tried to set the "Manually manage songs and playlists" under the music tab but it also gets reset when I update.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Your hidden pref file is damaged. Close iTUnes then follow Scott P's steps for deleting this file.
After you delete this file in its 2 locations, when you open itunes you will have a setup wizard just like its your first time ever installing iTunes

(Kodo 4.1); DELETE issued even with @ForeignKey cascade delete?

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this.
I'm using Kodo 4.1, and MySQL, and I basically have the following situation (default generated IDs omitted):
Code:
@Entity
public class A {
@OneToMany(mappedBy="a", cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
private Set<BB> bMany = new HashSet<BB>();
@Entity
public class BB {
@ManyToOne(cascade={CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.REFRESH })
@JoinColumn(name = "A_ID")
@ForeignKey(deleteAction=ForeignKeyAction.CASCADE)
private A a;
Schema:
CREATE TABLE BB(
A_ID BIGINT NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT FOREIGN KEY (A_ID) REFERENCES A(ID) ON DELETE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB;OK. I create an A with a couple of BBs in it, and persist it. Everything's fine. Now I call entityManager.remove() on the A instance I persisted, and I can see it issuing DELETE commands for BB after the DELETE for A, which produces an OptimisticLockException. I'd have hoped that the above @ForeignKey would have told Kodo not to issue such commands, knowing that the DB would do it.
Any insight? Have I used @ForeignKey correctly (examples seem sparse in the documentation)? Is there a workaround, other than removing the cascade delete and doing deletions manually from code?
Thanks,

1. Kodo needs to know the constraints set on mapped columns.
Set the following properties in your configuration
kodo.jdbc.SchemaFactory:native(ForeignKeys=true)
2. Are you explictly setting kodo.jdbc.UpdateManager property?

I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there

I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before, but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them, showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there. Is there a way to get them off? The songs dont show up in my itunes on my computer, just on my ipod with a download button next to them. I don't want them there anymore because i don't like that kind of music anymore and i don't know how to get them to go away.

There is a similar setting for Videos on that Settings screen, so if you leave that 'on' you may have similar happening in the Videos app

I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook.

I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is about 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook. Now I get a message saying I don't have enough room on my nano to transfer new books to it. My nano is 16 GB and my operating system is Windows 7.

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.
