Update deleted library/ syncing ilibrary to ipod

i just installed the latest itunes update, and now my entire library has been deleted/lost. itunes is convinced my ipod nano is synced with another library (false), and i am unable to sync itunes with ipod (the other way around is allowed, but i don't want to lose all my music.)
how do i fix this problem, without having to upload everything all over again? my library is backed up (and consolidated), and i've tried opening those files, but to no avail.
has this happened to anyone else? this is the second time this has happened to me, and i'm incredibly frustrated. please help.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: No content shows up in iTunes after updating
You could also try holding down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

After updating, not all the music in my library syncs to my iPod Touch - entire albums are missing. What to do?"

After an update of iTunes and the iPod, not all the music in the library syncs to the iPod. Entire "albums" are missing. Any suggestions?

Yes I've done a reset but it made no difference.

ITunes "Updates" every song synced to the iPod every time it is connected

Since the update of iTunes to 9.1.1, every time I connect my 3G iPod Touch (32GB) to my Macbook iTunes "Updates" every song synced to the iPod. I have seen this before when iTunes has a new revision, but it usually only happens the first time the iPod is attached after iTunes is updated. Now, it is happening every time.
I have restored the iPod to its virgin state, but that did not change anything. Any ideas?

The solution to this problem is at this link - http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20100505174126691

WHY WON'T ALL THE BOOKS IN MY ITUNES LIBRARY SYNC TO MY IPOD CLASSIC

When I sync all audiobooks to my ipod not all are synced. How do I get all my books onto my ipod? Note: I cannot drag and drop. doesn't work

I've had my iPhone for 2 years. I had the same problem and it would backup the phone but would not add new music or delete music I wanted to remove. After completely erasing the phone and restoring to an older backup (1 month old) it finally allowed me to sync and added all the music and apps. It just took a couple hours the first time. I have synced a few times since then with no problems. Not a great solution but it seemed to work.

After newest iTunes update i cant sync music to ipod! erroe OxE800400C

I was having issues with my 3rd Generation iTouch, so I restored it. After having issues restoring it, i updated all the newest software (iTunes 10). Once I tried syncing it I realized something odd...my music wont sync! All of my apps synced perfectly but my music and podcasts arent. The bar at the top of the screen says "Copying 1 of 1: 'song name'" and the bar just wont move. My iPod says "sync in progress" and will sit there for a half hour or so before a box comes on and says the device timed out and error code OxE800400C. Also, everytime i try to sync it the whole iTunes program becomes non responsive and im forced to end the task and start over, only to have the same thing happen again. I have tried everything I can think of and i have found no solution to this problem. Can someone please help me im so frustrated and cofused!!

Interesting, I get this exact same error! And it's the music on mine as well -- however, it will copy SOME songs over. It still syncs with my older iPod, and my new iPod will work on my other computer, which it was never connected to before. I'm hoping you hear an answer soon!

Topic: Will An Update Allow Video Sync To Other iPods?

Will there ever be an ipod update that allows someone to add videos to their 4th generation ipod an others other then the new ones that are coming out? i really hope so!

You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement

What is the best way to sync a second Ipod (7th generation nano) to itunes

What is the easiest way to sync a second Ipod (7th gerneration nano)? I want all my songs on both ipods.

iTunes treats each iPod separately, so you can set up each iPod's syncing as desired, without regard to the other one. You can connect them both at the same time, and set them up differently or identically.
Here is a convenient way to set up automatic syncing, and in your case, keep both iPods in sync with each other.
I want all my songs on both ipods.
First, if your entire iTunes music library ("all of my songs") fits on the iPod, it will be easy. Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. Set it to Sync Music. Below that, chose to sync Entire music library. Apply the change. Your entire music library syncs to your iPod. Repeat for other iPod. Any changes you make to your iTunes music library going forward syncs automatically to your iPods, when you connect them (or click the Sync button).
Otherwise, if your music library does not fit (or you want to be more selective), you need to set up the Music tab, but choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. This is where you can keep it simple...
Create a new regular playlist in iTunes, and name it something like "iPod Songs." Add ALL of the songs you want on your iPod to that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and select ONLY that new playlist under Playlists. Apply the change. The songs on that playlist sync to your iPod. Repeat for other iPod. Going forward, when you want to update songs on your iPods, just update that playlist (add and remove songs). Changes you make to that playlist sync automatically to your iPods, when you connect them (or click the Sync button).

Bought movie but can't sync it to iPod

Trying to help a friend who is new to iPods and came across a problem I've never had.
She normally uses iTunes at home and has never bought anything from it, just used it to transfer CD's onto her iPod Nano. She brought her iPod to work yesterday, authorized the work computer, and used a code to download a free movie.
When she tries to sync the movie to the iPod, it does not work.
She goes into Movies, checks 'Sync Movies', checks 'Selected', and checks the title of the movie she wants to sync. Then clicks on Apply.
She then gets a pop-up that says:
The iPod is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this library? An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.
She does not want to lose all the CD music that she has on her iPod so she does not choose to 'Erase and Sync'. How can she get the movie in this library synced to her iPod? I never have any problems using two libraries- one on my home computer and one on my work computer. I don't know if it's because I purchased all my music directly from iTunes, or what.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

I just did this and we are now getting a pop up that says:
Are you sure you want to sync movies? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the IPOD will be removed and replaced with movies from your ITUNES library.
Im afraid we will lose the music that she already has uploaded on her IPOD even though the option is to sync movies the warning states songs will be lost.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
Simplest way is to create a New User Account for each of you...
Each user will then have their own iTunes library.

I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

I have some music content in my itunes library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

I Have an updated app in my itunes library but is is not syncing to my ipod

I had version 1.0 on my ipod and when the update came (v 1.01) out I downloaded it to my laptop. The app on my ipod (v 1.0) now doesnt work and has the download status bar saying the name of the app underneath the tile. I dont really want to redowload the app as our internet connection is very slow and expensive (I live in an ADSL) blackspot.

- First try resetting the iPod. Nothing willbe 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.
- If you have no app data you want to retain you can try deleting the app on the iPod and syncing
- You can also try restoring from backup

I purchased new music and it deleted all of my other music on the ipod. The library is full but does not sync. How do I get my library back on the ipod

How do I get my itunes library back on my IPOD?

Same here, only it will sync, but extremely slow!

I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.
