Songs suddenly missing from Ipod Touch

I was listening to my ipod touch when I realized that I'm missing a lot of songs. It was fine few hours back when I was listening to my ipod but then the songs just went missing. So I connected my ipod to my macbook and on itunes it shows all the songs I have on my ipod. I tried to play the songs that were missing but here's an exclamation mark next to the songs. It can't be played. Initially, I had only 10GB left on my ipod but now I have about 20GB. When I clicked on the apps, tones, etc tabs the storage indicator went back to 10GB. I have not done anything so why did this happen?

Sounds like you has a software glitch that corrupted the music files. That happens sometimes.

Random songs missing from ipod touch

Hi
I have an iPod touch 4 and for no particular reason, a load of random songs have disappeared.
Every album is missing songs, some just one or two but some just have 1 song remaining!
I haven't synced my iPod for weeks because my computer is broken and is currently away getting fixed.
Could it be because I haven't synced it? I can't understand why that would be though.
I did buy an album recently via my iPod itunes so could this have anything to do with it? I'm honestly not sure if the songs went missing before or after I bought this.
I just really don't understand how it could have happened and it's really fustrating as I've now lost my itunes as my hard drive failed. Does this mean that all of the music I had is gone forever?!
Thanks

As I said, my harddrive failed and I have lost everything off the computer.
And most of the stuff wasn't bought from itunes, it's imported from CDs, a lot of which I don't have anymore for various reasons.

ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

All playlists missing from iPod Touch?

Hi there. In need of help with a bit of a frustrating issue.
Currently on my iPod Touch, all of my playlists are missing. They're available on my iTunes and on my iPod nano, but not on my iPod touch. This happened before and I reset my iPod which temporarily fixed the issue but during my last sync it went missing again. Everything is up to date and my sync settings are set to sync everything.
Help?

Are these playlists configured to sync to your device from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes? To access this tab, plug your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. You should be under the Summary tab when you look to the right in the main window. Locate the Music tab along the top and select it.
If you make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.

App button went missing from ipod touch

I had to restore my ipod touch to factory settings and now im missing my app store button on my ipod itself. Can anyone tell me how to get it back?

It's possibly on another App page or you have turned on a restriction in Settings > General > Restrictions.

Whole albums missing from ipod touch (current gen) after latest sync with mac air...

Any ideas why? All that is different to previous times is the ipod is on ios7.
What i had done was delete a few albums i didnt listen ever, just cleaning up. Connnected to ipod as i assume it would clear the albums off of that too (i sync my WHOLE music collection as can fit it on 64gb ipod) but albums i did not delete are now missing.
Guess i'm heading for 'reset ipod' and start over as new?

Delete songs from ipod touch

how do you delete songs from ipod touch if can help me that would be great.

planb77 is wrong. There is a way to delete songs, artists, albums, and playlists directly from your ipod touch. Simply click the song, artist, album, or playlist you want to delete but dont let go and slide your finger to your left (or right) and a red button will pop up to the right of the song, album, artist, or playlist title saying "Delete". Simply click it to delete it. To cancel and hide this button or option, simply slide right or left again or tap your finger anywhere on the screen away from the "delete" button.
BTW I am not absolutely sure if this will work on all previous versions of the Ipod Touch. I am running iOS 5. iOS 5.0.1 to be excact.

Can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud, can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud

once you upload songs,photos or documents fron ipod touch to icloud, can you delete them from ipod touch to free up memory from ipod touch and can you access them from icloud without downloading to ipod?

You can't upload music to iCloud unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, and if you are the songs are uploaded or matched from the iTunes library on your computer, not your device. Photos are only uploaded to Photo Stream temporarily (30 days), for up to 1000 photos so it's not meant to be a permanent storage option. The uploaded photos are also generally of lower quality than the originals on your device. Also, only photos taken on your device after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded. Finally, when you turn Photo Stream on, uploaded photos will be streamed back to your device in a Photo Stream album (so it actually uses some of your memory rather than saving it). As for documents, only iWork documents are uploaded.
If you really want to free up storage on your device consider more permanent cloud storage services such as DropBox (which will handle photos and all documents).

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.

I have a iPod Nano, when it is connected to my laptop all my songs and books are there but when it is disconnected from laptop, some books and songs are missing from the library

I have a iPod Nano, when it is connected to my laptop all my songs and books are there but when it is disconnected from laptop, some books and songs are missing from the library

I have a simlar issue like this when loading my movies to my iTouch. iTunes says that all of your wanted content is sync and your iPod says that all content wasn't synced, is that what you are saying?

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
Thanks very much --

Sync from ipod touch to PC, after my PC is formatted!

I had earlier synced my ipod with the PC(Windows 7). Later due to system crash, I had to format all my data from my computer, and it was restored to factory settings.
However, the ipodTouch has all the data (songs, apps, etc). I installed iTunes again on my PC, but I didnt sync my PC with iTouch since this will delete all the data from iTouch.
Now I wish to sync my iTouch with my PC because there are few apps which I purchased and are on my PC. How can I sync my iTouch with PC without losing the data from ipod touch?
Thanks for your help in advance.

This previous discussion may help. However, you will likely loose on data you have in apps.
