TS1399 My 160 gb ipod deletes all music and refuses to load despite twenty attempts to restore it, please help.

My 160 gb ipod classic is refusing to load music, i have restored it more than twenty times, somebody help> Anybody home?

The most likely problem is a damaged source file, but you could try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
*Break up large transfers*
In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • IBook tuned itself off and deleted all music and some programs

    My brother has my old iBook G4 and ealier it when he put it to sleep it turned itself off and deleted his music and a few programs. Is there any way to get those things back?

    Hi weazle,
    I suspect that he may have changed the name of his 'home' folder. Maybe it was in your name and he thought he'd change it to his?

  • IPhone has deleted all music and won't sync it back??

    I tried to sync a new CD onto my iPhone, and it would not appear on my phone. When i clicked on the 'Music On My Device" tab on iTunes, the songs were in grey with a circle next to them.
    I then tried to play a pre-existing song on my phone, but my if i click on a song, it gets wiped from my phone! (It is not totally deleted, but is written in grey with a circle next to it). So all of the songs on my phone have deleted themselves, and iTunes will not sync them back on.This does not affect Purchased songs.
    I hoped that the iOS 8.1 update would have fixed this, but alas it has not. Please help!
    (I sync my phone onto a mac, which is updated with OS X Yosemite, 10.10)
    (I have an old iPod touch which has iOS 6. something, and it is not affected by this problem- i have synced it fine)

    I work in an office that is behind several concrete walls and gets very poor signal.  Everyday I will lose my cell signal and when going back outside I am unable to reconnect to network without either turning on/off airplane mode, or turning phone off and on.
    Took phone to Apple store, along with video of problem, and was given a new phone.  Problem still exists and was told to set up phone as new iphone.  Again did this and problem still exists.  When leaving office phone shows edge service and the bars litterally bounce from 1 - 5 and the "E" will turn into a circle like bullseye back to "E" and then just keeps doing this till reset.
    Never an issue with 4 or 4s.  About ready to say to heck with iphone and move to the dark side with an android Galaxy S3.
    Also have had issue when entering elevators at hospital.  THis can be a huge issue as I am a firefighter/emt and all calls come across our phones now.
    Any ideas from anyone....apple has been less than helpful

  • How can I delete ALL music and SOME video from my iPad?

    I have a MB Pro running Yosemite (10.10.1), and and a 2nd Generation iPad Air (iOS4.3.3.)
    I'd like to keep some, but not all of my video library on my iPad, and delete all the music from it.  (I have my music on my iPhone 6+, and don't need it on the iPad, as I carry them both with me all the time.)
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Use the sync feature and settings in iTunes. you'll be able to do it from within iTunes.

  • Accidentally deleted all music in itunes 11.1.0.126 can't restore library to original state

    So I'm using Windows 8 and I think I accidentally misclicked or mispressed something and then my entire music library in Itunes was highlighted and then deleted. I tried pressing undo and Ctrl Z to no avail. Then I tried closing and reopening Itunes but all my music was still missing, everything else like movies and apps were still there. I thought if I tried re-adding all my songs it would go back to the way it was before so I went to Users/Music and dragged all my songs into Itunes, but I quickly found out that a lot of my music was still missing and additionally my entire music library was restructured (all the music I dragged in said 10/29 date added), which really ***** because I originally sorted all my music by Date Added, and now not only is the organization messed but I'm missing about half my library (6 GB of music, mostly older songs) too
    Is there a way to restore my Itunes library or find older .tl/.xml files? Because I tried looking for my old Itunes libray in Music/Itunes but I found out that the iTunes Library.itl file automatically updates when you open Itunes, so I'm stuck with the itunes library version that I created when I dragged in my songs from my Music folder when I attempted to fix the problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    SeeEmpty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash to restore the state of the library database. You'll probably need to find an unerase tool to recover the media files, or pull those back from any device you may have, as I doubt they are recoverable from the recycle bin.

  • Ipod taking all music and videos of slowly

    so far my ipod has taken half my music, 2 episodes of tow and a half men, 1 episode of family guy, and 5 episodes of survivor but not all at once it has come off slowly over the past week
    i try to restore it, but it says
    your hardware cannot be restored because it is in use with another application
    but I bought it new and its on in use with 1 computer
    can anyone help?

    Hi! Not really sure what you mean.
    Are the entire missing from itunes on your computer or from off of the ipod Classic?
    1. Check you itunes library folder and verify that the entries are missing from the library itself.
    2. If they are present, and just not showing up in itunes, use the add file feature to add them to itunes.
    3. If they are missing off of the classic and are in itunes, do a sync, if you sync all of your music and videos. Check how you sync your movies and videos (all, unwatched)
    Any other suggestion I could make, require more information.
    Hope this helps...

  • HI, i've got a big issue with my Ipod touch 2g...lot of my former apps unable after restore! please help

    Thanks of your answers

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • IPod shows as camera and will not let me use as disk space. Please Help!!

    Okay, so i know that this has probably been asked before, but every similar question i read was a little different from my specific problem. Maybe someone on here can help me. :)) *crosses fingers*
    I've had my iPod Touch since summer, and I just got a new laptop for Christmas. So I want to transfer my iTunes over to my new computer, of course. I read the tutorial on Apple Support, but when I went to drag my Library over to my iPod, it was showing up in My Computer as a camera, and will not let me use it as disk space. I've also followed the steps to stop the automatic Camera pop-up when I plug in my iPod. Yes, my iPod is set up on manual, so disk use SHOULD be enabled, correct? I am positive that I also have the latest iTunes software. AND my USB ports are up to date.
    Sorry for the overly-thorough problem description, but I have read too many of the similar posts, and I know all the usual suggestions. But seriously, any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.
    -Happy New Year

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Sorry to say that you cannot use an iPod Touch as an "external" drive, unlike the "Classic" etc. which I believe have this feature.
    To transfer your library you will have to back it up to disc(s), a different type of HD or use a network to send the files over.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

    Good luck, but they will tell you the same thing that anyone here will tell you.
    Unless the device was backed up (via iTunes or iCloud) after the pictures were taken but prior to deleting them on the device, they are gone.  There is no way to recover them once deleted without a backup.

  • HT204053 I have accidentally deleted my notes  ! Is there a way it can be restored. Please help this is very vital information

    I have accidentally deleted my notes on my iPhone a3GS and since it synchronises with my new ipad they have also been deleted on the ipad. I have no computer or laptop. How can I restore them . Please help!!

    If you have been doing icloud backups, then you can restore that backup, which will include notes.  The only downside is that you'll be rolling back your device to a previous state (newer data since the backup will be lost).
    If you have not performed backups to icloud, then your data is gone.
