Updating your ipod---clearing all of my songs

is there anyway to get your songs back onto your ipod after you hit the update button on itunes?
any suggestions would be very appreciated

all you have to do to have your ipod not update is to set it to manually update, and then all you have to do is drag and drop the songs you want updated onto your ipod (the little tab that says ipod-or whatever you named it) go to edit->preferences->selec the "ipod" tab right after "general" and if you have your ipod connected you'll be able to check one of the three boxes, check the one that says manually update. it will most likely be the one right after the box where you select which section you want to update from (which is unimportant in this case) hope that answers your question.

I first couldn't update my iPod, now all the songs are gone!

Hey guys thanks for the time to help, but heres the story.
Okay, it first said "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." So then i clicked on "Automatically update all songs and playlists" under preferences, and then a popup said "the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. An unknown error -(36) occured." Okay, so i was struggling with this problem for a long time, i even went to the iPod store and they dont even know.
So then my friend told me to UPDATE my iTunes, so i updated it to iTunes v. 6. NOWWWWW, i plugged in my iPod and then the same thing happens... "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." then all my songs on "admin's iPod" got erased!! So i click automatically update songs again and a NEW pop up comes up saying: "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. The disk cannot be read or written to." So now, not only can i not update my iPod, but all of the songs r erased.
So the question is... How can i transfer the songs from my "admin's iPod" folder on iTunes back to my iPod!!!!!???

How can i clear all of the songs off my ipod so i can start a fresh!!

Hi everyone out there,
im desperately seeking for somebody who knows how i can clear all of the songs off my mini ipod so that i can start a fresh in intunes to upload new songs. ive misplaced my handbook somewhere so if anyone is able to help me i would be very grateful. thank you GB24

my ipod picks and chooses when i connect whether its going to update or not,
In Auto, it updates every time you connect it.
If you do not change anything it iTunes, the update will take only a second because there was nothing changed to update.

Problem Updating Your iPod Software

I am running Windows Itunes 6.0 and Nano version 1.0
I keep getting messages when I open Itunes saying I need to update my software and I follow all the prompts, extract files etc and then it tells me to restart my computer. I do that and nothing has changed. I am still working with the same software and it tells me I need to update.
the Tutorial references a Updating Your iPod Software
that never pops up for me.
Any suggestion?

Best and simple way is to uninstall your current iTunes and iPod Updater and download the last below

Since the latest ITunes update, I cannot find all the CD songs I converted to ITunes. All it shows are the songs I purchased.

Hello jerryfromil,
I've found an article that may help get your content back into iTunes.

Can you update your ipod 4 to ios 7

i juts wanted to know can you update your ipod 4 to ios and it crashes alot

No
. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT4623 How would you update your iPod Touch using your iPod touch?

I want to update the software on my iPod Touch 4th Generation from my iPod Touch itself. I can't figure out how to do it, though. In the past, it has just asked me to update, but now, it doesn't do that. Anyone with any information on how to update your iPod touch software, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared your knowledge with me. Thanks so much!(:

If the iPad already has iOS you can go to Settings>gener>wifi update and update via wifi. Otherwise yu will have to connect to iTunes and update via iTunes.
The current iOS is iOS 6.
