Entire library of music erased off ipod after sync

Ipod touch 5th gen 32 gb running IOS 8.2
For the 4th time since updating to IOS 8.2, whenever i try to add new music to my ipod through itunes, when the ipod syncs with itunes, ALL of my music is erased off the ipod.
Manually manage music and videos is selected. I do not have itunes/ipod automatically sync music. I have "prevent devices from syncing automatically" enabled.
So heres the basic rundown of what happens.
1-upload music to ipod
2-let music copy over
3-upload more music to ipod
4-ipod/itunes begin sync
5-syncing stops without copying music over
6-all music vanishes off ipod after sync "completes"
looking at my ipod music list in itunes, it shows all my music. when you click on them to play them, ! shows up next to ALL songs.
when you look at the music on the ipod itself, nothing is there.
this is what it looks like for the music that has be synced before, that has suddenly disappeared

from my experience, the music is still there. the database is screwed up when itunes recognizes the music, but the ipod doesnt see it.
what ive discovered, after the database crashes and everything is gone, see if you can find this info out. anytime ive had this issue, there are normally a few songs that wont copy over and itunes says "could not convert"(i have itunes setup to convert songs of high bitrate to aac 128kbps). when i go to delete those songs(because they show up on the ipod, but are greyed out), thats when the database crashes, and everything vanishes.
my fix for this issue is this:
unplug ipod from computer and turn off
close itunes
restart ipod
open itunes
plug in ipod
sync ipod with itunes
copy over one or two of failed songs
watch itunes start to sync, sit at "waiting for changes to be applied" for a few minutes
watch all my missing music reappear(over the course of about 10 hours, takes a few minutes to recopy 4000 songs)
annoying and frustrating, but until apple can recognize this issue and put a fix in, this is the best solution i can think of besides throwing my ipod at the wall and fix the solution permanently. but that wont get me very far because of my lifeproof case.

Tv episodes removed from iPod after syncing

I'm a complete novice when it comes to the whole iPod/iTunes thing. So maybe this is just a setting thing, but can anyone tell me why everytime I plug my iPod up to my laptop to charge and of course iTunes opens up and does it's whole syncing thing. Well everytime it syncs it takes away various tv episodes off my iPod. From what I can tell it removes the ones I've watched and leaves the new ones alone.
I tested my theory by marking them all new on iTunes and resynced and all the episodes reappeared.
Can anyone tell me why? Is there some setting change I need to make? Any help would be much appreciated.

When you iPod is plugged in, go to the TV Shows section on the sync screen. It should let you choose certain things, and yours probably says "Sync Only Unwatched Episodes". You can change it by selecting somethings else and saving your changes. Hope this helps.

Getting songs off Ipod after Reformatting

Hello, I reformatted my hard drive earlier this week, and I need to get my songs off my Ipod and put them onto Itunes. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

Hey there,
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in the next day it shows 500-600 episodes I have to delete manually. So 2 questions.... Is there a way to stop this from happening and is there a way to delete all. This is getting frustrating.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in there are 500-600 episodes and I have to delete each one manually. Is there a way to stop this from happening or is there a way to delete all at once. It's getting very frustrating.

Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.

Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
- Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

IPod Touch: Listining to music after having watched a video

I have a Ipod Touch (32G) since last Saturday and absolutely love it. However,there is one thing that I am wondering. I use the Ipod during my commuting and sometimes I listen to music (using the shuffle option) and other times I watch video. After I have watched a video I want to continue listening to the song that was playing prior to watching the video. Unfortunately, the ipod starts all over with a different song. Does anybody know if its possible to return to the same song after having watched a video?

Unfortunately no. At least not on the iTouch firmware version 2.x (I didn't bother checking on 3.x). This is my biggest gripe with iTouch. It can never remember which track your played after switching to the video or restarting device. My theory it remembers it as long as Audio Player application is still loaded in the RAM. But usually when you call up Video Player app it needs to free up RAM and closes down Audio Player.
But you CAN return to the same place in the TRACK if you set it in the iTunes to remember track position. This very useful for audio books or tracks that are very long (i.e. mix compilation when album in single track).
EDIT: I was wrong! Never was I so happy to be wrong. Looks like they did something in 3.x firmware. It now indeed remebers which trac/album you were playing! But you have do double-tap home button and it will go to the last song you played. Amazing! Thanks Apple!

For some reason, movies I rent on my iPad will not delete off of my iPad after I watch them. Is there some backdoor way to remove the rentals? Wifi (No 3G), IOS 6

Wifi (No 3G), IOS 6

That means there's no videos left on the iPad, and the downloads aren't really there.
Sounds like a job for Apple Support. They'll have to remove the downloads from the queue to clear the iPad.

TS1424 A movie I bought (not rented) on Itunes stopped working after not watching it for over a year. Now it just shows a black screen.

A few years ago I bought GI Joe The Rise of Cobra on Itunes (not rented, bought). Now, after not watching it for at least a year, when I try to play it all I get is a black screen. How can I fix this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Tv show episodes missing on ipod

i watched ******* episodes and south park and after i watch them all the way through the credits and it counts as they have been played once they dont show up on ipod but show up in itunes...help me please!

Connect your iPod, then when the summary screen appears click on the TV shows tab.
You may have set your iPod to sync only unwatched episodes.
Change the preference to what suits you best.

How I "fixed" my iPod after the latest update screwed everything up

I am not sure if this will help anyone but here is what I have been through and done. I also don't know if this "fix" will last. So far it has been 24 hours and my iPod still works. To be honest I was surprised anything worked since this whole fiasco started. Good Luck!
(Please know I am not telling you to do this, just letting you know what I did and what happened. I have no idea if the slap to the hand actually did any good or if it is all just coincidence.)
After installing the latest iPod updater my iTunes would not recognize my iPod and when connected to the pc the iPod would simple flash do not disconnect. This would not stop no matter what I did. Once I removed the iPod from the pc sometimes it would go to the menu and have music on it and other times it would not have music on it. On some occasions I would get the folder with the exclamation point. I did try to reformat the drive through the pc and/or restore it through the updater but since it kept flashing do not disconnect the updater could not "mount" the iPod and the pc was never able to access the drive. At one point I was able to access the drive and reformat it but it said it could not finish the formatting. After three days of trying to do all of these steps over and over I finally put in a ticket to have it repaired by Apple.
I did reinstall iTunes to its latest update but kept the updater at the version that originally came with the iPod on the Cd.
Which leads me to the final step. I had heard that other folks had slapped the iPod against their hands and suddenly they would work again. So I figured, at this point, what do I have to lose? (Please know I am not telling you to do this, just letting you know what I did and what happened. I have no idea if the slap to the hand actually did any good or if it is all just coincidence.) I plugged the iPod in and watched it flash its message to do not disconnect, I reset it and then forced it to say do not disconnect, then quickly disconnected it. Once removed I slapped the side of the iPod against the palm of my hand. The drive did spin up and the picture which tells you to plug the iPod into the wall appeared, which I did. It showed the apple logo, a status bar ran and then went to the menu and reset itself.
I connected the iPod to the pc with the current iTunes program, old iPod updater version, with my playlists and library intact and it started to update the iPod with my library and playlists. Once finished I manually disconnected the iPod and safely removed the hardware.
So far it works fine. I used it at home and in my car. I have not tried to use the new updater again. Honestly I fear what would happen.

Hi Zmajev,
If you are having syncing issues after an update to iTunes 11.2.2.5, you may want to try updating to the most recent version (iTunes 11.3, which was just released yesterday) and see if the issues still persist. You may find the following article helpful:

My itunes freezes when trying to add a tv show/episode to my ipod. What can I do to resolve this?

I got a new episode from Looney Tunes and it's called 'Odor-able Kitty/Scentimental Reasons'. After the 2nd day that I bought it, I decided to add it into my ipod nano, but as I did that, my iTunes freezes. I tried to exit it out, but it was no use. And when I was working on an Internet Explorer message, I tried to go back to iTunes but it won't let me. How can I figure out how to get my episode into my iPod without damaging iTunes?

Content Disappearing off ipod

Like every night before work i delete some episodes of my iPod and put different ones on it, along with podcast and audio books.
I'v done this for as long as i can remember. But Tonight after ejecting my iPod, my iPod is empty. only my photos and apps are still on there.
i plugged it back in and iTunes on the PC can see all the stuff that should be on it, but, it can see most of my free memory is empty instead of mostly full.
so i deleted the ghost files it claims were still there and try transferring them back on. This worked, but when it was done i tried to transfer a single item over.
The video wouldn't transfer and everything on my iPod disappeared again same as before. (Yes there was enough space for the single video. From what i can work out when a small amount of files try to move they can't, and everything else disappears).
Please help me.

Hi,
That much "other" is usually corrupt data, to fix it you need to restore and resynch.
Good luck,
Dud.

ITunes does not see iPod after last updates

It seems that many people have this same problem, but I do not see any solutions. I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version and did the iPod updaters. Since this, my computer at home and work no longer recognizes my iPod. I keep getting something asking me to restore my iPod, but i have a bunch of pictures on it that I do not have saved anywhere else. Doing a restore will erease everything on my iPod.
please help.

Well, that was annoying.
I just went through the same grief being reported by many other users here: I updated my iTunes on Windows XP, and it stopped recognizing my iPod. (Plugging in the iPod would actually kick off iTunes, but after coming up, iTunes refused to see the iPod.)
It's working again, and it did seem to be related to network drives. However, I wasn't very disciplined about trying a single step, seeing if it worked, then proceeding to the next step, so I can't guarantee which specific step(s) below that actually solved the problem.
But for what it's worth:
1. I recently (a day or two before updating iTunes) mounted a new network drive, assigned to drive "G:". My iPod has been "F:" since I first installed it.
2. When iTunes stopped seeing my iPod after updating, I tried resetting the iPod's drive assignment to "H:".
(Unfortunately, I also tried everything else, including restoring the iPod to factory settings...it's now updating something like 1500 tracks.)
3. Resetting the iPod's drive letter as suggested in another thread didn't seem to do anything by itself, however I ALSO UNMAPPED THE NEWER DRIVE ASSIGNMENT DESCRIBED IN STEP 1.
4. Now here's the other stuff I did before trying it again, which may or may not have contributed to the fix:
- I undocked (it's a laptop)
- I moved the USB cable from the docking station
to one of the laptop ports
- I rebooted
After doing this, I plugged in the iPod, and ALLELUIA BROTHERS AND SISTERS, it was RECOGNIZED ONCE MORE!
Give me an AMEN.
Hope this helps somebody else to get going.
