Songs disappear off my iPod!

I purchased songs on my i-pod touch and I transferred them into I-tunes, but they have disappeared off my iPod touch and are only in I-tunes. ALSO they do not play in I-tunes, they are in faded font and they don't play or transfer onto my iPod when I sync it! Please help me!

I figured it out, thanks anyways

  • HT203128 How do i delete songs/podcasts off my ipod in itunes 12.1

    Since the upgrade, I cannot see how I can delete songs or podcasts off my ipod.  I will run out of memory very quickly.  If I put in delete songs into Help it says select and press backspace.  This does not work.

    Thank you very much for your help.  Actually, I just found another solution.  I checked the box at the bottom of the Summary page which says Manually manage music and videos.  I then clicked Apply and after that, I was able to delete content.
    Why are neither of these solutions available when you query Help?
    Perhaps one of the highly paid help in Apple could tell me (and all the others who have commented) what benefits we are getting from the upgrade to 12.1.  It just seems to have made it less user friendly and more difficult to use.

  • 30seconds to 2mins of song cut off on ipod

    I have a really really werid error, when I first got a 5G ipod, about 1/12 of the songs were 30seconds-2min shorter on the ipod and had there ends cut off, when I played them with itunes off the ipod however,they played fine (full song). I dismmised this as a defective ipod, returned it, got a new one, used it with no problem for 2 days, and then found a song with 32seconds of the end cut off. I synced it with itunes, and it didn't fix the problem, it only fixed the song after I listen to it all the way through on itunes, and synced it again. Based on my previous experiance I think there are more songs on my ipod cut off like this. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or how to test to see if more songs are cut off without listen to all 2400 songs on it

    I have the same problem. I have a 15 gig 2G ipod and I replaced a dying 20gig 3G ipod with a new 60gig 5G ipod. Other than the harddrive dying in the 3G (I did get over 7000 hrs out of it!) I have never had any of the 6200 songs I have loaded ever have an error or skip like this. I've reripped 2 songs and they now have no error, but it seems like a cascading error (replacing the 2 songs seemed to cause 3 more to fail that didn't 2 days earlier) I have two questions: 1) Is this just a glitch in the error trapping of the driver software (meaning I can hope for a reprieve! with the next release) or 2) After restoring and reloading everything on the 5G and testing the tracks that skip on the 2G can I assume I've gotten a bum drive 3 days into owning my new pod?

  • Songs cut off on iPod and on iTunes

    I've seen this asked before but no one can seem to help when it comes to the Windows iTunes:
    Songs on my iPod are not only being randomly cut off, but the +song length+ is being changed right before my eyes for no discernable reason. For example, I have a song that is 3:46, but it will display the length as 2:22, then I do Right Click --> Get Info, press OK, and the length has gone back to 3:46. However, when I play the song, it stops at 2:22 and goes to the next song.
    I've already tried updating the ID3 tags and that didn't work. Someone PLEASE tell me how I can fix this without re-setting my iPod and deleting my entire library.

    Does it get cut off on the iPod or in iTunes (or both)?
    Does it always happen with the same songs?
    The problem may be related to the program that was used to encode those files. Do a +Get Info+ on a few of the affected songs and see if there is anything in common where is says +Encoded with+ on the Summary tab.

  • Songs deleted off my Ipod

    I downloaded a new version of iTunes, and some of the music that I had on my iPod came from another computer. When I connected my iPod, I forgot to change the settings to manual, and a ton of songs were deleted off of my iPod. Does anyone know if there's a way to get them back on again?? thanks

    No, there wouldn't be a way (unless connecting the iPod to the other computer again).
    If the songs were deleted by auto-syncing in iTunes, then they are permenately deleted.
    If you'd like to prevent auto-syncing from happening to your iPod int he future, then try this:
    1 - Open iTunes, and leave it up and running.
    2 - Get ready to watch your iPod, and connect it to your computer.
    3 - As soon as your iPod displays "Do Not Disconnect", immediately begin to press and hold the "Shift" and "Ctrl" keys for about 30 seconds. Let off the keys when you're sure iTunes isn't going to do anything with your iPod.

  • 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.

  • Songs CUT OFF on iPod!

    I seem to be having this problem since iTunes 5.0. When i sync my iPod, iTunes updates songs whose information i have not changed. When i play some songs on my iPod they end when the song isn't over. When I go back and sync, the songs are fixed, but others are changed.
    If anyone has this same problem or knows a solution please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    -Tom

    Another thing to try if you have your ipod set to manually manage songs and playlists is to hook up your ipod and in itunes just play the song (on your ipod not your library). Itunes realizes the problem somehow and automatically corrects itself. If your ipod is set up to automatically update just hooking it up fixes it.
    Hope this helps a little more...

  • Recording drums app plus song output off of ipod touch

    I have ipodtoch and a drum app. It supports playing along with the songs on my itunes. I want to do a cover using the drum app. And i want the drum app plus song output to be recorded? Either on my macbuk or the ipod itself . Any ideas??
    I have been able to get the ouput on my jbl dock (using aux )

    Solution:  Doing a "Reset all settings" will release whatever hold the app has.  You'll have to set everything up (I did it as a new iPod). 
    Restore did nothing to resolve this issue.

  • I refuse to let my music disappear off my iPod again..

    i'm desperate.
    i followed the instructions off another post to try and recover my "hidden" files on my ipod.
    it included entering commands into the terminal. then supposedly my music was supposed to appear in a folder on my desktop called "iPod Music".
    this didn't happen.
    if you're lost as to what i'm talking about, you can look at the forums for my previous post a few minutes ago.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Songs disappearing off my Zen Xt

    I purchased a 40g Zen Xtra from eBay a week or two ago, and so far I hadn't noticed any problems with it, and had happily (albeit slowly) been transferring songs over to it. A few days ago I noticed that some of the songs I thought I had put on there weren't there anymore. Then today I found that several songs I transferred just last night are not there, and my total song count has gone from 230 to 80. Oddly enough, this doesn't seem to be happening to random songs, but is infecting entire albums. Many of the albums I already have there are there in their entirety, and many other albums are simply gone.
    I am very, very new to the Zen (and mp3 players in general) so didn't know if there was something I was doing to somehow trigger this. I certainly didn't consciously delete anything - I would have noticed if I had done *that*.
    Any ideas on what could be causing this?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    This seems to happen rarely to folks, although I've yet to see an exact cause. At a guess it's some corruption in the player's library, so try a disk cleanup from rescue mode and failing that reformat the player.

  • HT3819 Do songs disappear off all computers if they are deleted from the computer on which they were first imported/downloaded?

    I've recently bought a new MacBook Pro and am wanting to sell my old iMac so am trying to transfer all my music. I've turned on Home Sharing and am currently importing all my music onto my MacBook via iTunes but am wanting to wipe my old iMac so I can advertise it. Does anyone know, if I wipe the iMac hard drive (where the songs were imported/downloaded and 'Home Shared' from originally), will I still be able to continue importing them on my MacBook, even though the original files are gone? I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to this kind of stuff so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance people!

    If importing hasn't completed, then don't wipe the old computer until it does. Once the importing has completed and the files have been transfererd to the iTunes folder on the new computer - look to be sure the files are actually there - then erasing the old computer will not have any negative effect on the new system.
    Regards.

  • Ugggh!  Songs disappeared!  HELP iTunes and iPod help

    Okay, I don't know what I did, but all of my songs disappeared off iTunes. I think I was able to locate most of my CD's that I had downloaded, but anything that I had purchased is gone. What went wrong, and is there some way I can reinstall all of my songs?
    Also, if I connect my iPod to my computer will it take the songs that are no longer in iTunes off of my iPod?
    Thanks!

  • Songs disappeared - iPod not recognized in Windows or iTunes

    Hi, I have had a 5th generation iPod for 8 months now and have a big problem:
    After I charged it in a wall plug, all the songs disappeared from my iPod. It has happened to me once in the past but the songs then reappeared... don't know how that happened. Now, songs are all gone and Windows and iTunes won't recognize my iPod. I have reset it and since then, the screen keeps changing from the main menu to the Apple logo and then back to the main menu. My iPod will then be recognized in Windows for a few seconds, while the main menu is displayed on the screen, and then disappear. I have put it into disk mode and only then will Windows recognize it, but not iTunes. I have then restarted the iPod Service via Computer Management but once I reset my iPod to remove it from the disk mode, it continued changing from the main menu to the Apple logo. Since the problem seems to be with my iPod and not with iTunes, I have not tried to delete iTunes and reinstall it.
    Thanks for your help!!

  • I just installed itunes on new computer and songs disappeared from Ipod

    I just reinstalled itunes on a computer that had a bug and was cleaned up and cleared out.  When I reinstalled itunes and it sync'd all my songs disappeared from my ipod. how do I get them back

    That is correct.
    You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything abck on the coputer, then you would sync them to your ipod.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, njot good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • Why are the songs I've deleted off my Ipod grayed out?

    I've deleted the songs manually off my ipod, as there is an option to do so. However, when I click into my songs on the Ipod, there are the songs that I had already deleted and are grayed out. They won't play-because I've deleted them. I've gone as far as deleting them off my Itunes and computer all together. The grayed out songs are still there and will not go away! Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?

    Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
