The playlists and songs disapeared but the files are still inside!!

Hi,
What can I do? the files are still taking memory but the iPod doesn´t show the songs and the playlists. My iPod has 9 gigs inside but there´s nothing to show! Nothing in the screen and nothing when i connect it to iTunes.
Is there any way to restore it? It happened suddenly after connecting the iPod to the computer and taking more time than it use to. My iTunes is managed manually...
Can you help me please?
Thanks!!

Ok, so this is how apple solve the problems of their systems: Just restore it and lose all your information. That's pathetic.
Fortunately I could save my songs and repair my iPod with Yummipod.
Why apple never does real solutions and people from outside are able to solve it? Maybe because we have to buy an iPod every 2 years or something...
And then everybody laughs with the comercials on TV against PC. How funny right? I don't know what is more funny here.
Thank you very much!!!

How do I transfer my iTunes library with the playlists and song plays from a PC to a MAC

I just recently got a MacBook and I'd like to transfer my iTunes library as well as the playlists and song plays over to this computer and i was wondering how i should go about doing so.
I've found a few tutorials on how to edit the .xml files but I haven't really succeeded in doing so.

Use an external HDD and copy the entire iTunes folder from the original computer to the Mac and place it in ~/Music.

HT1386 I copied my my iTunes music from an old computer to a Macbook Pro, but it did not copy the playlists on my nano. How can I transfer the playlists and their content from the nano to the Macbook

I copied my iTunes music from an old computer to a new Macbook pro but it did not copy the playlists that are on my Nano. How can I copy the playlists and their content on the nano to the Macbook? If I automatically sync the nano from the Macbook, will it scrub the content and existing playlists on the nano?

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Your only chance besides getting it serviced would be setting it up as new device:

My 3rdG iPod Touch is frozen on the home screen and the volume and time works but the screen doesnt, what do I do?

My 3rdG iPod Touch is frozen on the home screen and the volume and time works but the screen doesnt, what do I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ITunes library not available but library files are still stored on computer

My iTunes has been acting up since day one when it claimed that i was using a different computer after an update but now it wont let me access my iTunes library. Nothing is there - no purchased history, no music library, nothing.
I'm logged in using my usual account details and up to the other day everything was fine - i watched a film on iTunes, turned off my PC and then nothing was there anymore.
I checked my documents folder and all the files are still in there, in fact i can double click on them and they independently load up iTunes and then run but still arent listed in my library. I put another cd on today, rebooted the PC and the cd isn't listed either but is still in the correct folder on the hard drive.
Am i doing something really stupid or is this another quirk???

Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
Quitting iTunes.
Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)

Please HELP! Song appears in playlists and song lists, but when clicked, it goes to a random song. Nano only, not itunes. I have the nano thats almost like a square with the click wheel.

ONLY SOME songs appear in song list, but when clicked, play a random song instead of the one i chose. You can play the song on iTunes, just not the ipod nano. (the one that has a clickwheel and looks almost like a square)

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

I just recently updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and, after the upgrade finished, my iTunes library, playlists and all, vanished. How can I restore the playlists and songs to iTunes?

I updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and it wiped my iTunes library. I no longer have my playlists or movies. I was able to recover my music, but the many, many playlists I had, I could not recover. Is there any way I could recover them?

Hello apbvieira,
It sounds like your iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes anymore after a recent update. I recommend the following article to help you get that in order named:
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
This step will get you started, but there are additional steps in the article if you need them.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

My Calendar synced to the cloud and now all but three months are gone! How do I get the rest back?

I upgraded to the new iso and all was fine last night. Over night, I guess my phone must have been backed up to the cloud and when I got up this morning, everything but three months was missing!
I did a manual sync before I updated to my computer will it still be there? How would I recover it?
Thank you for any help you can give me...

I have EXACTLY the same issue. I would appreciate the response also. Was not prepared for this.

I got a Sim Free 64GB Iphone 5 from Carphonewarehouse in UK n gifted the same to my Bro in law in India. He inserted the nano sim and can see the carrier and 3G symbol but the phone asks for activation. Its a SIM FREE phone, why cant he use it?

Hi,
Please help me with this as the phone is currently lying as a dead paperwieght with my brother in law. The phone, even though bought as SIM FREE, keeps asking for ACTIVATION!!!
Does it mean that I need to activate it with a SIM of one of the carriers that offers a contract and then I am free to use it with any SIM anywhere in the world?
Please assist in as much detail as you can.
Thanks.

Hi FelipeV,
Thanks, tried that.. half their numbers keep going busy and when they do pick up they are unable to assist.
I called up APPLE in UK as well, no help there either..
but.. I say.. its a SIM FREE phone for crying out loud, what is this ACTIVATION nonsense??
Thanks for the suggestion anyways.

Hello, I have my PC connected to my HDTV and when viewing websites on firefox, the websites are too small to read. What can I do to fix this. I have already tried dling the No Squint add-on, but some websites are still distorted. Thanks for you help

My PC specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.5GHz
Nvidia 9800GT video card
Seagate 600gb hardrive
The TV is a Philips 720p (Not exactly sure what model it is)

You can increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.
In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.

Just on your computer? Have you checked that there isn't IP filering on your router?

How do I get it back to the way it was on my iTunes with my playlists and songs?

My playlists and songs have disappeared on iTunes after the most recent upgrade. The playlists and songs are still on my phone as they were since I haven't synced yet. But they completely disappeared in iTunes on my computer. So when I try to sync, it says that all the information will be deleted. I don't want to have to go through the trouble of re-doing all the playlists and adding all the songs again. It took me a while to get it the way I like it! So does anyone have a solution? Please and thank you!
Oh and the only thing that stayed on were my purchases.

Did you change the screen resolution?
You can right-click on empty space on the Desktop and open the Display Properties.
Control > Panel > Display > Settings
