Songs on ipod randomly disappear but itunes thinks they are still there on ipod

my ipod recently randomly deleted all my songs on my ipod except for an ep i bought directly from my ipod. I had not synced it in a while so that has nothing to do with it. when i did sync it to try and retrieve all my songs, my itunes still acts as though nothing happened and all my songs are there. i tried turning off and on my ipod and no one seems to have had this happen to them so i dont know what to do. all my apps work and none of my photos got wiped though.

Does your iPod touch show the shows as still there if you check Settings > General > About? Does that match the number of songs synced from iTunes?
You can always search Spotlight on the iPod too, to see if its still on there somewhere.
If you think there is a problem with the software on the iPod touch, try restoring it.

  • Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

    Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

  • Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

    Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

    If they are still on your Mac's drive then you should be able to add them back into iTunes via File > Add To Library

  • Why is that when I downloaded the iOS 7 for my iphone 5 that it changed my send and receive for imessages to a random number but my SMS messages are still linked to my phone number?

    I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution.  I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

  • HELP! moved "all images" to trash by mistake. They are still there but I can't undo. How can i return photos to iphoto? Thx!

    HELP! moved "all images" to trash by mistake. They are still there but I can't undo. How can i return photos to iphoto? Thx!

    Thanks but I have no "Put Back" option when right-clicking. When I attempt to open a photo in iPhoto I receive a white exclamation point on a black background. I have restarted my PC since first encountering this problem but have not emptied trash though i appear to be out of memory. Also, iphoto library shows size as 17GB however, each photo shows 0KB. When i attempt to open a photo i receive message "Item <photo filename> is used by Mac OS X and cannot be opened." I can see the images when scrolling in iPhoto but they disappear when the screen is still. THANKS!

    I want to delete books from my iPad but they are still there ....how do I get rid of purchased books?,

    You should be able to delete them from the bookshelf in the iBooks app via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If they show on the bookshelf with a cloud symbol on them then try turning Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'. Is that what is happening ?

  • PH2668 I have delete some contact that i dont need anymore. but when i send a text they are still there. how do i delete them

    I have delete contact out of my phone. but when i send a text they are still there. how do i delete them

    I'm a bit confused by your post.
    When you delete a contact, I assume it is no longer listed in the Contacts app, right?
    When a send a text, what exactly do you mean "they are still there"?  Can you then go back into contacts and find the contact listed again? 
    Are you syncing contacts via icloud to several devices that you own?

  • IPod screen shows no songs after sync, but iTunes says they are there

    After syncing my iPod to my iTunes, the menu on the iPod shows no songs. iTunes says they are there and so does Winamp, but I can't see them by navigating the menu.
    The only things that changed since my last sync are some ratings and a new playlist.
    This has happened to me before. Usually it is resolved by rebooting my PC to make sure the iPod drivers are loaded. I tried rebooting my iPod (holding down Menu and Select), but that didn't do it either. I would like to avoid having to wipe the iPod and re-copy everything. And since this has happened before, it will probably happen again.
    I can't upgrade my iTunes to the latest version because Apple stopped releasing W2k versions. Thanks in advance.

    I have that issue also. I ripped a few cd's, attached the ipod, synced it, but my libraries disappeared. "About" says there's 20+ gigs of something on there, but nothing in any menu. I scanned the ipod with Panda, no malware. I took the ipod to Geek Squad, and the Head Geek suggested reformatting from windows, and then reinstalling software with itunes. Did that, hour later, same situation. 20 gigs of nothing, even though itunes reported it had transferred over 6,000 mp3's. Ipod just isn't recognizing anything on it as music, but it worked fine up until the re-sync, and I hadn't done it for awhile, so I am now guessing there's a bug in the newest software, and it isn't a hardware issue at all.
    On another note entirely, does anyone else find it strange that Apple's discussion page spell checker regards ipod and itunes as misspelled words?

  • I have a 3GS. The iPod on the phone has made duplicates of some songs. I've tried using the "get info" dialog box to set all the information the same but the dups are still there. Even after erasing all music with iTunes they are still there.

  • ITunes thinks movies are still on iPad

    I recently moved from iPad 2 to the new iPad. On my old iPad, I had 2 movies synced to it when I did my final backup. When I restored the new iPad from cloud backup, it restored everything except the 2 movies, but still thinks they are on the iPad. In iTunes, no matter how many times I check and uncheck the two movies, they automatically check and show the space used, but does not copy the moves to the new iPad. I even tried deleting the moves from iTunes and re-downloading them, tried marking them unwatched and syncing unwatched movies, made sure the movies were checked in all lists, etc. Yet no matter what I do, I cannot get the moves to re-copy to the new iPad. I even tried clearing the iTunes Store cache.
    Anyone else have this issue? Any other suggestions I could try (short of restoring as a new iPad and putting everything back on)?
    Thanks...RK

    See if any of the following fix it :
    - close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if you can redownload the film when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    - a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    - turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' and see if the film then shows in the Videos app with the cloud icon for downloading.

  • New here! Importing two CD sets? iTunes thinks they are separate albums.

    Hi! I'm new here, and I can't find this topic. Sorry if it's already been asked:
    I have many CD sets with two or more discs. Itunes thinks that each disk is a different album, and iTunes not only puts them in different folders, but often with different album covers.
    So, how do I merge these CDs into one "album" with the right cover art and all the songs of the albums.
    Thank you!

  • There are 26 songs on my iphone that no matter what I do will not delete or play, they play on my computer but on my phone they wont go away, i tried swiping to delete them and unchecking them but they are still there. Any advice?

    There are songs on my iphone 4 that will no play or delete. They play and work on itunes on my computer but they will not play on my phone and I am trying to delete them. I deleted all the songs, but these will not delete. Any help?

    They are not on the iphone in the first place.  It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone.  If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

  • I accidentally deleted half of my songs out of iTunes, but I believe they are still backed up somewhere on my computer, is there a way I can re-download them to my library?

    We got a new computer, so I was installing iTunes onto it. I believe the music is still somewhere on my computer, because it was downloaded onto the harddrive from our old computer, I just don't know where I would find it. I do have an external harddrive, and I was thinking it may be on there, but I am not sure.

    If it was there and you creaded an iPod backup via iTunes then restore from that backup. Otherwise y are out of luck.
    Autosyncing
    To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

  • HT203167 I look at my history of purchases including my songs and ringtones from iTunes. They are all there but my ringtones say I have to purchase them again in order to put them on my new iPhone that I just purchased from Rogers. I need help getting my

    I'm trying to get my ringtones that i purchased on my old iPhone onto my new one that I just got. They r in my history and when I click on them it says you have already purchased them, would you like to buy them again in order to download them. I did it with one already and I now need help so I don't have to buy them again. Can u help get them back please

    Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have them on your computer nor on a backup then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
