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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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,

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 but 5-6 of my songs have been deleted from my ipod shuffle. I can find the list in purchased but can't get them on my device.

Allbut 5-6 of my 44 songs on my Ipod shuffle have been deleted. They all show up on my purchases but I can't transfer them to my Ipod shuffle device.

HT5070 i recently had a friend update my windows and the most important part of my laptop is my ITunes & when i went on ITunes all of my songs have been deleted there has to be a way to get them back in my library? what do i do to get them back? I paid i

aI paid a small fortune to have a very big Music Library and all of my songs are gone? How do i get them back? There has to be some way to have over 2000 + songs put back into my own Library how do i do that?

What exactly did your friend do ? Did you or he take a backup of your iTunes library before updating your computer ? Have you checked to see if your music is still on your computer ? By default your iTunes library is stored under :
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
If it's there then you can add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library.
If not then do you have a copy of your library on a backup ? If you do then use File > Add To Library to add it back.
If you haven't got a backup then you might, depending upon what country that you are in and if the music is still in your country's store, be able to redownload your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

Could my missing songs have been deleted by iMatch?

I am missing a large chunk of some of my artists music, and I was just wondering if iMatch could have decided that I shouldn't have put them on my pc or something? I own all the cd's that I have put on my pc.

itunes match doesn not delete music off of your harddrive.
It does not have that ability. It could have deleted them out of your itunes library for I've heard of this happening but have not had it happen to me.
Try going to your itunes media folder and reimporting them. You shouldn't have to rerip them. They should be stored on the harddrive that you had them on originally.

Ever since I updated iTunes on my computer all my songs have been deleted off my iPhone and it won't let me re-download them !

ITS JUST REALLLY ANNOYING

OK, so uncheck that option and sync your device.
Once the sync is complete, check that option again, and sync to see if it syncs up.
Also, make sure that on your Summary page, you don't have Sync Only Checked Songs selected.

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...

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.

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

If you have a unencrypted boot hard drive and willing to buy another external powered drive and $100 software, the files can be recovered using this method and Data Rescue.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive

HT2905 Most all of my 1700 songs have been duplicated in iTunes. I have downloaded the instructions how to delete the duplicates but it says "sort by the date you added" and i have no column that says that. I am running windows xp.

Most all of my 1700 songs have been duplicated in iTunes. I have downloaded the instructions how to delete the duplicates but it says "sort by the date you added" and i have no column that says that. I am running windows xp.

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

"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 recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!
