Space is taken, no music, 911 from Japan

I accidentally disconnected my ipod in DO NOT DISCONNECT mode from the hotel computer.
The settings are completely reset, nothing there. I look at the space used on itunes, and on the drive and it says the space is still full. When I try to go to my music or movies everythings gone on itunes otherwise.
So far I have restarted a lot of times, tried two different computers to access the information and tried to open in ephpod.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
WHAT THE **** DO I DO?????? I am really about to cry. Im in Japan and for the past two days my ipod is all thats kept me sane. Please help, 911 emergency because Ive got more than a month and a week before I get home!

Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders".
This "hidden folders" method worked to restore my files. Be VERY meticulous, though, sometimes files might not get copied on to your ipod the first time you try to get them back on. Also, in my case, the video files I lost were strewn about throughout the music files, so I was able to retrieve them as well with some searching.

  • How I can upload all my music CDs from my laptop's itunes to the iCloud? I want to free up space on my laptop.

    How I can upload all my music CDs from my laptop's itunes to the iCloud? I want to free up space on my laptop and thought the iCloud was a storage site.

    It's a syncing service, not a storage site.  You can access your CD music from iCloud you have to subscribe to iTiunes Match: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.

  • With itunes match live on my iOS devices, can I now remove all local music files from my PC to free up space?  There's no need to keep it if it will always be in the cloud.  Right?

  • HT1449 Now that i have my iTunes backed up on iCloud and iCloud Match running, can I delete the music files from my MacBook Pro?  It is running out of hard drive space.

    When I started this request in the Support section, I did not realize I was typing a subject into a header.  Sorry.
    My MacBook Pro is nearly full and I would like to rely on iCloud for my music with the hope of freeing up space by deleting the music files I have accumulated on this machine.  Can I just delete the files in the iTunes folder or is there some special procedure?
    Thanks in advance for your help on this.

  • The iphone 5 bought from Japan can be taken the service from AppleStore in US?

    Hi guys,
    My iphone5 was bought from Japan two months ago...but which was crashed accidentally. Now the screen was shattered.
    I get a business trip to US next month. Could I take it to AppleStore for screen replacement? How much is the service?
    Thanks,
    William Y.

    No .
    You will have to pay in Japan ,as warranty does not cover damage
    Should have added the warranty is not WW nor is service as Apple stores replace not repair and every geography sells different models which are only carried in the original source country

  • Recovering "iTunes Music" folder from Time Machine Backup (Permissions Err)

    OK, long story, but stay with me.... could be an interesting one here.
    So I move to a SSD hard drive in my 24" iMac. New Intel SSD drive is only 160GB, so I'm only using it for the OS, Applications, etc... all of my data is on an external FW800 disk (Western Digital MyBook). I've already relocated my Home Directory to the external drive and that seems to be working great for all my pictures, docs, movies, etc, except for iTunes.
    My iTunes library comes up, but I can't locate any of the songs. I checked the preferences and it's pointed to the correct location on the external disk. So, I was trying to do the relocation, but it would appear that the MUSIC folder does not have all the data i copied into it. When I try to open the "iTunes Music" folder I get this error... "The folder "iTunes Music" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see it's content". I've checked my Time Machine drive which obviously has all the music files on it (the space is taken up), but I can't get to them to recover.
    Any clue how I can get this permissions error resolved so I can get my music? I have (3) backups of the same directory... all the same story, no permissions. I even created the same user account name when I rebuilt Snow Leopard on the SSD.

    I don't think you understand. I need to get my music from Time machine where it is backed up. How do i find it in time machine and how do i transfer it to a seperate HD?

  • How should I copy my iTunes Music folder from my iMac to my Macbook Pro

    I have copied the iTunes music folder from my iMac to my Macbook Pro using firewire and target disk mode. After all the files (for files read each individual song) have been copied I find that not all songs can be played. For those which will not play I get he error message "The song "bla bla" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I answer "locate" on this popup I'm taken to a view of finder. If I double click on the song there, the song will play on iTunes. Seems to be something to do with the structure of the folders but in get info I cannot see a difference between songs encountering this problem and those which don't.

    Instead of copying only the _iTunes music folder_, copy the entire *iTunes folder.*
    That's all you need to do.

  • Movies and music vanished from iPhone 3Gs

    Hello! I discovered today that mysteriously, all of my movies and music vanished from my iPhone 3Gs. I have not recently synced my phone or updated the software. My iMac is currently on a FedEx truck being shipped out west for a month long vacation so syncing is not an option. Also, when I try to download new stuff from iTunes, the phone tells me there's not enough space when there is plenty since all my music and movies are gone. I called Apple and essentially, I was told that they couldn't help me at this time. Has anyone else had this happen? It's incredibly frustrating as I was planning to watch movies on the plane

    Apparently, data or metadata is corrupted on your phone.  Assuming that your phone was never jailbroken or hacked, the solution is to restore in iTunes using your most recent good backup, but without your computer that's not an option.  Simply syncing with it probably won't work for the same reason you can't download, and risks replacing a previous good backup with corrupted data.
    You can try resetting, but I'm not optimistic - press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.

  • A visitor from Japan is unable to connect an iPhone or a Macbook Air to my Airport Extreme it says the password is invalid but the password works for other devices?

    Am unable connect a MacBook Air to Airport Extreme using a valid password get an error message that password is invalid. The Mac belongs to a visitor from Japan?

    Test by simplifying the name for the wireless and set names for the two bands..
    eg AE24ghz and AE5ghz.
    Then use no security.. does the MBA and iphone then join..
    If so put back security.. wpa2 with simple password, no spaces pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.
    If no connection test with fixed channels .. say 11, 9, 6 in that order for 2.4ghz.
    Don't worry about 5ghz for now.. if it still won't join it is somehow incompatible.. you need to reset the Japanese devices but I am not sure how.

  • Can't get music deleted from iPhone when syncing

    I had a computer crash and had to restore all music from backup drives, iPods and iPhone.
    I built my iTunes library back and am ready to sync again with my iPods and iPhone.
    There's no problem with the iPods.
    All music that was on there is automaticly deleted and the iPod syncs perfectly with the new built library.
    With the iPhone though it's not working.
    On the iTunes screen I can see there's no music left.
    But after syncing the music always seems to come back and can't get removed from the iPhone.
    I sync the iPhone by selecting the playlists.
    So on top it says 0 music gets syncronised when I haven't selected any playlist. On the bottom of the screen there's no music and the iPhone seems almost empty.
    That's good, as I want the new library to be put on the iPhone.
    But after syncing I can see there are no playlists on my iPhone anymore, which is correct, but the music itself stays on the iPhone.
    I don't know what's happening.
    Usually when I select some playlists or unselect others, this affects the syncing of the titles immediatley, putting songs from the selected playlists on the iPhone and deleting the other ones.
    But now it's very strange.
    The playlists are deleted or added the way I want them to be be, but the music itself stays on the iPhone, always giving me the notice that there's not enough space on the iPhone.
    I just can't see what's happening. I've been doing this without any problem for such a long time.
    But now it doesn't make sense to me.
    Looking at the screen after not selecting any playlists, there shouldn't be any song synced to the iPhone.
    That's what I also see on the bottom of the screen. But when clicking on syncronising, after a while it's full again, meaning no music is erased form the iPhone.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks.

    I'm sorry, I tried but it didn't work well enough.
    I have two screens and when I take screenshots, the picture of the iTunes screen is too little to make sense.
    I'll try to explain what I'm doing now.
    I only selected one playlist, containing 27 songs.
    When I syncronize it says there's 52 GB free space, which is almost everything.
    There's almost no audio. that's good as it's only about 27 songs here.
    So far so good.
    The thing I had to look for, 'On this phone' is not on top of the page, but on the left my iPhone appears as a device in the menu.
    When clicking on it I can see Music, Films, TV shows and the one playlist I syncronized.
    Films and TV shows are empty, in music only the 27 songs appear.
    Still so far so good.
    But then when I click on synchronising again all of a sudden it's filled with audio again for 52 GB.
    There's almost no free space. However there's still only one playlist with 27 songs marked to syncronize and in Music  I can still only see the 27 songs.
    After a while it jumps back again to 52 GB of free space with almost no music.
    The thing is it looks good on the iTunes screen.
    The iPhone appears to be almost empty and in Music I can only see the songs of one playlist.
    On the iPhone itself though all the music is still there.
    So there's no correllation ibetween what iTunes is showing, almost no music, and what my iPhone itself is showing.
    I just can't get rid of the music that was still on my iPhone before I had a computer hard drive crash.
    I want to get rid of the old stuff on my iPhone, so I can sync it again with the new music library I created.
    Do you think it's possible that it's something to do with iCloud or things like that?
    Is there no other way to empty my iPhone from all the music and afterwards sync it again, without losing all the other stuff?
    I'm using iPods from the beginning, having a big music library of 40.000 songs.
    I never had a problem like this, though I'm very used of suncing iPods with certain playlists, artists etc.

  • HT1351 When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message saying some songs couldn't be found. Why is this - they are in my playlist.

    When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message advising some songs could not be found. Why is this, when the songs are in my playlist.

    By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
    The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
    I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

  • Help! I can't transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad.

    Help! I cannot transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad. I simply want to transfer individual music videos from my Mac, but my iPad will not allow it. As soon as I check the box that says 'include music videos' my ipad says that I do not have enough space, which would be true if I wished to transfer all my videos. However, I only wish to transfer a few, something that I have done many times before. I then unchecked the 'include music videos' box, and of course, I could not transfer a single video, despite having plenty of free space. Please help!

    Wendy-
    All of my digital cameras seem to work OK with the iPad Camera Connection Kit, but I've read several similar reports here.  One thing to consider is whether your camera's battery is fully charged.  I doubt it matters, but might explain if it works sometimes and not others.
    I suggest you use a camera card-to-USB adapter to do the transfers.  I've tried several that worked.  The ones that drew too much current were the "universal" types that have several different card slots.  A camera store should carry an adapter, and may let you try it.  The ones I tried that draw too much current, were bad even without a card connected.

  • Transfer Music files from 3GEN to 5GEN iPod

    I have a 3rd generation iPod I've had for a while. And I was thinking about getting a 5th GEN or whatever might come out in the future, to upgrade.
    But I really wanted to know if there is anyway I can transfer my music files from my current iPod onto a new one, if I buy one? I don't want to lose all my music that I bought (which I no longer have on my harddrive b/c of low disk space) and not be able to put it on a new iPod.
    Dell Laptop   Windows XP  

    You would need to transfer the music on your old iPod back to the computer, and from there use iTunes to transfer it to the new iPod.
    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.

  • Delete music files from my pc

    can I delete music files from my PC without having to lose them from my ipod classic. I dont see the need to clog up disc space with all the music I own on CD's so once I have them loaded onto my ipod I would like to erase them from my pc. If I then sync my ipod will it automatically delete everything that is no longer on my pc.

    If you manually manage your music, you can do what you want. Check the "Manually manage music" box on the summary page in iTunes when the iPod is connected. Keep in mind that , should you ever need to restore your iPod, you may find that you'll need to re-rip all of your CDs. You may want to consider buying an external hard drive (I just picked up a terabyte drive for less than $150) and move your iTunes library there.
    Best of luck.
