Sync done, iPod update is complete: Where are my songs and videos?

So there is my problem... I have 35 songs in my iTunes music library. When I plug in my iPod to sync the music, it starts syncing, then says its completed and it's ok to disconnect.... yet there are no songs in my iPod. I have to sync and desync about 10 times before it does work... each time I want to put a new song or whatever. I turned back the iPod, tried with a new one, same problem. Reinstalled the latest version of iTunes, same problem. Tried another USB port, same problem.
Anyone got an answer to my question? Would be really helpful.

I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by itunes since I've done the update I've lost all my music and videos; also I've lost my USB drivers. What can I do to restore my 2nd Gen Ipod touch to factory?

I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by Itunes. Since I've done the update I've lost all my music, videos and icons. I also can't connect to any PC via the USB port. What can I do to restore my 2nd Generation Ipod Touch back to factory?

I also have a 2nd generation iPod and when the new version was being advertised on the home page, I clicked on it. And I saw that the update was compatible with iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation, iPad 1 and 2, and all the iPhones. But it wasn't compatible with iPod touch 2nd generation. So you downloaded an update which wasn't compatible with your iPod. I'm sorry.

Where are my songs and why won't my iPod turn on?!

I have two questions.
First, my apple ID has been the same since I was in college. HOwever, the computer I used in college that had my 2000plus songs on it has died. Why are my songs not in my iTunes when I log in under my same ID and how can I get them?
Second, my iPod will not turn on or even be awknowledged by iTUnes when I plug it in. It will start with the apple sign but then go to a sad robot iPod that says "apple.com/support/ipod" which I have been to and the tips didn't work. Keep in mind I have a very old version on my iPod because before my computer died, it lost the ablility to connect to the internet.
Please help!

Why are my songs not in my iTunes when I log in under my same ID and how can I get them?
Why would they be? You didn't back them up anywhere and iTunes does automatically redownload them to new library once you have authorized it. You can redownload most iTunes purchases again at no cost using the instructions in this article.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
As for the error message on your iPod, it sounds like it's hard drive is dying. See this Apple support document for more information.

I can't get the intial sync done. It says it cannot find many songs and then stops. Horrible first Apple experience! Help please.

My first taste of this Apple is horrible! I cannot do the inital sync successfully. Its gets to the 4th stage of syncing where it is copying songs and tells me there are over 100 songs it cannot find. Why not? They show up in my Itunes media file so why can they not be found? Then the syncing ends with a message "Attempting to copy to the disc "Doug's Ipod" failed. An error occurred while reading from the device"
This is very frustrating.
Thank you for your help.

Where are my photos and videos in iCloud?

Ok - So I just backed up my iPhone on iCloud for the first time. I had to purchase extra space so that my photos would all be backed up. The apple store genuis told me iCloud would back it up. So how can I access them through iCloud on my computer? I don't see them. I want to make sure that if my phone crashes that all of my pictures will be saved.

iOS iCloud backups can not be accessed outside of restoring your phone.
You should be transferring photos to your computer to be backed up.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
iCloud offers Photo Stream. Photo Stream is a sync tool makes your last 30 days of photos available to other devices.
Photo Stream can only be accessed via iOS devices running iOS 5 or later, Macs running OS X 10.7.5 or later and PCs running Windows Vista or later via iCloud COntrol Panel.

Reset the iPod with it connected.
See this.
How to reset the iPod.
It may take quite a few attempts.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

IPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update

I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

Old ipod updater ... where can I get a copy?

I had asked this question in a previous post but received no replies so I though I would try again.
I am (like lots of others) having problems with my ipod and itunes 5 and the new ipod updater.
I was hoping to download an old ipod-updater - say Feb or June of 2005 and try using it instead of the new one.
Does anyone know where I could find this? I have found a czech version but I can't install it on my powerbook without changing my computers language to czech, which I don't want to do!
Thanks for any help! Even if someone mailed me the .dmg file that would be great (or post it on a web site somewhere)

eBay. You should get a "retail" copy (which came on three CDs not one DVD), black with a big silver X. Don't get a copy that came with a particular Mac model (grey color), unless it happens to be the disc that came with your particular Mac model.
You may want to consider getting Tiger (10.4) instead, if your Mac supports it. Tiger provides better software compatibility with more recent applications, compared to Panther.
If your Mac is a G4 or G5, 867 Mhz or faster, with at least 512mb of RAM, Leopard (10.5) is also supported.
NOTE: Leopard does not have "Classic" mode for running Mac OS 9 apps. Tiger (and earlier) does.

Ipod touch 4th gen missing about 12 songs and I can't get them to sync back.

After syncing my ipod, about 12 songs are missing and won't go back on. I've tried to take my music off my ipod and then put it back on but those songs are still missing. All the songs on my iTunes are checked. The music settings in iTunes for iPod says sync entire library and that's marked. And the songs are still on my iTunes... just not my iPod.

Try unsyncing and resyncing all of your music. To do this, remove the tick mark next to Sync Music from under the iPod's Music tab and click Apply in the lower right hand corner. This will remove all tracks from the iPod. When it has finished, re-apply the check mark and again apply the changes to resync all music back over to the device. Make sure that Sync Entire library is still selected and that Sync only checked songs and videos is NOT selected.
Any luck there?
Where are you getting the total number of songs at on both iTunes and your iPod Touch?
