Unreadable music on iPod - music marked as 'other' PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Please help!!! I connected my iPod today to upload some new music files and something appears to have gone wrong. I can't 'see' any of my music at all on the iPod OR on iTunes. The iPod Summary Screen on iTunes (ver 7) shows that there is over 20GB of information marked as 'other' on my iPod, plus my photos and videos, but it shows no music at all. Naturally, I could restore the factory settings and re-upload all my music from my external hard drive, but obviously I would prefer not to do so because it would mean a huge amount of time. Is there any suggestion as to how I might be able to force iTunes to recognise the music files on the iPod WITHOUT a restore? I have tried a 'soft' restore on the iPod unit itself but alas with no success. If there is anything that can be suggested I would be very, very grateful. Thanks, Sam
Quite honestly, in the amount of time that it's taken you to get answere here, you could have restored it and reloaded the music!!
That's the way to go.

I have the new iPhone 4s. I'm using cloud. I try to sync my playlists to my phone an it either erases them completely or keeps saying it cannot move all music files over? Please help. Also my purchased ringtones will not sync up as well.
iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

i have new ipad2 and the iTunes have only podcasts and iTunes U options. I simply can't download music or vidoes. Please help!
Not all content types are available in all countries, and unfortunately where you are you will only have apps, podcasts, iTunes U and free books - the full list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599 . As the terms of use of the stores state that you can only use your own country's store, you also can't get music or films from Apple from other country's stores.
Are there other music and/or film purchase download sites that you can use in the UAE ? For music you can also copy your own CDs and sync them to the iPad -
My macbook crashed about two weeks ago and I had icloud already set up. How do I go about retrieving the music and images? Please, help me. I had over 10gb of music on that computer and the only place it was backup was icloud. Thanks.
I hate to say this, but unless you are paying the 25 bucks you cannot back up your library to the cloud.
All you can do is back up the items you "purchased" from Apple.
iTunes Match
For $24.99/year you’ll get access to all your iTunesmusic including tunes you ripped from CDs or “borrowed” from anonymous friends. It scans your library to see if the song exists in iTunes’ 18 million song catalog and if it does it’ll stream it to you at 256 kbps. If your song is not in iTunes then it’ll be uploaded to iCloud at whatever rate it is on your device where it can be streamed for your listening pleasure. I cannot find any information on how to restore a library, however
Best of luck -

i just got the iphone 4s and my text messages are showing as urgent to others,please help me fix this
As ckuan said, there's no way to mark messages as urgent from the phone. So, either your carrier is doing something and you'll need to contact them or it't something on the other end. Is it just one person who's seeing your texts as urgent? Or everyone?

My iPod does not update it self in iTunes. I click on the "update the latest version for your iPod" and it fails. Please help me.
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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Computer and ipod crashed. not all music was backed up. please help!
Ok so both my computer and ipod crashed in the same week. I was able to fix my ipod but had to wipe all the music off of it. I lost all my itunes files on the computer and not all of my music was backed up. I know that's really bad, and I should back up all of my music but I got lazy. Which again is a bad thing! Sorry! But is there anyway to re-download purchases that I made? Someone please help me.
You can change the email address of one's appleID...
I'd recommend changing moms email to yours to get a good backup on the Mac
Then switch mom's back to hers
Then change your account to the same email you used.
I've done something similar when I needed to update my Apple account (one ID changing email addresses and phone) -
Hi there
Our desktop computer was painfully slow so backed up everything to hard drive (as 1 file) and did factory restore to computer. We have managed to get our photos and documents back to our pc but have struggled with itunes. We now have all our music there in our library but can not play any of it unless the hard drive is plugged in (says cannot locate the file when not plugged in). I manually consolidated files for one album which now means it will play without hard drive but I can't drag that to our iphones & ipods. Please help! Thanks.*Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
*Thank you!* -
Wont even play music anymore... please help
My ipod doesn't even play music normally anymore. Whenever i play music it just freezes and takes about 5 minutes to load.. and im really sick of it. I only have about 1,300 songs in the Ipod. I have 5th generation 30 GB Ipod and use the latest Itunes. I googled around and some people also have the same problem. They say its from artwork. I tried disabling artwork but still didn't disable any artworks. What should I do?

Purchased Music Sync?? Please help!!
My laptop crashed and all hardware and software had to be re-installed.
The hard drive had been b acked up so I transferred iMusic to the fixed laptop.
However, it won't let me sync Purchased music with my iPod.
Please help!!Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings.. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Music is messed up (please help!)
Since updating to iOS 7, I have run into a problem with my music. Songs that I listen to repeatedly have suddenly changed octaves, and, at some parts, instruments are missing from the sound. These are all songs that I've listened to many, many times before, so I know how they should sound and when they are different. The songs also sound different in iTunes
I was instructed to update my iTunes to 11.1.3, which I did. This fixed the affected songs in iTunes. I connected my iPod to my laptop to sync, and it did nothing but make matters worse. Even more songs have messed up on my iPod (missing instruments and octave changes), and they are affected in iTunes as well. My EQ is off, and turning it on does not help the situation.
Can anyone help me fix this? Please?Are you using headphones? Does it only occur if using headphones?
If yes:
- Try another set of headphones
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Purchased music videos completely white PLEASE HELP!
I purchased quite a few music videos from the iTunes Store and since i upgraded about 6 months ago (this is the first chance I've had to look into it!) I've had so many problems with iTunes.
Every time I try to watch a purchase music video- all I can see is a white screen with a yellowish outline of objects in the video. The sound is kinda alright, a bit crackly, but still unacceptable considering the videos are $3.69 each!
Can someone please help me out? Or just tell how I can re-download these videos for free?
THANK YOU!
peaceHi, Jen the Hen.
Have a look at this Apple Support page , in particulat the section A purchased video looks or sounds bad.
