Upgraded to iOS4.02 - now iPod says No Content yet music tranfered to phone

Hi
I was running iOS4.0 on my 3GS and after synching it found the iPod app would close after a second or two - an issue that's been reported elsewhere.
I decided to restore it, so ended up upgrading to iOS4.02.
After completing the restore and transferring everything back, I find that when I open iPod now, it just states that there is no content, yet there are gigs of music on it.
I have tried restoring a number of times now on 3 different PCs running Vista 32, 64 and XP. I have alse restored from old backups and also set up the phone as new - all with the same result - No Content.
Does anyone have any ideas?
It was working fine before 4.02 - surely this must be a software bug?
Thanks
G.

Try resetting the iPhone with it being disconnected from the computer. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button until you receive the apple logo and then let go.
This happened to me with photos.
Hope this helps!!

IPod says "No Content" in music, and suddenly I can only play that content through iTunes on my computer...

Can anyone help me?
I have been having terrible problems with my i-Pod Touch. I have very slow internet (often only 2 or 3 kb per second) but Apple seems to demand I do countless time-consuming updates. For this reason I haven't been able to update my iPod to iOS5........I have also had the whole run of errors when I connect my iPod to iTunes to update anything. I have had Error 13109, 5826, 1604 and 3194....but all of that hasn't bothered me too much as I manage to transfer music from CDs or computer files (podcasts from non-iTunes sources) and that's all I need.
All of a sudden yesterday, whilst continually giving me the error 13109 message, my iPod said I have no content in the music library. However, when I plug in the iPod to my computer and switch on iTunes I can see those songs are still there, and indeed I can play them. Until this morning I was able to play that content from my iPod through my loudspeakers that have an iPod dock - completely unconnected to my computer.
It just means that I can't play those songs when I am anywhere except connected to my computer - and that's not really the point of having an iPod is it?
Is anyone able to help me?
By the way, I should like to say that I am very new to i-Pods, and I already think it is absurd that a customer should be constantly obliged to update everything, and when things go wrong visit all manner of websites (and Apple Support Communities!) to hunt for solutions, and then spend hours and hours going into the belly of my computer, making changes, downloaded, syncing, re-booting and goodness knows what else to just try to get the product to do what the manufacturer said it would do when I bought it, without telling me anything about all this other hassle. I think it is shocking, or have I just been sold the only lemon in the orchard? I bought it in Mozambique and live in Zimbabwe - and none of these places offer support services.
tks for nay advice or commiseration you may be able to offer.........

OK guys...no need to reply....I am resigned to never getting to the bottom of the syncing problem....I just go from 13109 to other error codes, downloading little umbrellas, putting th eipod in DWI mode (or something like that), restoring, getting anew error code, not being able to download updates etc. etc. - so I lost my patience with sitting in front of my computer trying to fix something I paid nearly usd 800 for (in my opinion the manufacturer should make it properly in the first place, or warn you about its faults before you buy)............
I synced my iPod to the computer, lost all my content ans restored only witrh what I had on this computer's iTunes - thus losing the countless CDs and vinyl I had converted to digital on my other ocmputer at home in Mozambique, which my current iTunes says it can't locate.
Am I really the only person who prefers to listen to music instead of spending hours and hours on the computer trying to fix this useless machne?
I wish I had never wasted my money on this thing. I guess it's just inappropriate and too sophisticated for where I live and for my simple needs (wi-fi and music only).
Very big thumbs down from this novice for the iPod Touch and for the iTunes way of doing things in general.......

My ipod says i have no music on it, but when i plug it into itunes, and look under music on my ipod, its all there. NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! all the music came from a computer which i no longer have, so my ipod is the only place where that music is.

This morning, i downloaded about 16 songs to put on my ipod, and i manually dragged them over to my ipod to sync that way (like i always do because the music on my ipod came from a different computer which I no longer have) and on my way to work, i realized my ipod says "no content" under Music. However, when I plug my ipod into itunes and click on the music tab under my ipod name, all of my music is there. What happened and how do i get that music back on my ipod? I need help asap.

You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
http://dl.i-funbox.com/
to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Upgraded 3G to iOS4, now it says No/Invalid SIM

I upgraded my 3G to iOS4, now it says No/Invalid SIM and iTunes doesn't give me the option to restore to iOS 3. Only option is Eject. Tried new SIM from AT&T and nothing changed. I get an Emergency Call option on the phone but no access to data that was on the phone before the upgrade. Any suggestions?

The Sleep/Wake button is non-functional so to reboot, all I can do is drain the battery. I've gone through this cycle multiple times. Is it possible to put the phone in recovery mode without a functioning Sleep/Wake button? Thanks!

Bought upgrade on appstore. now it says its not available for download in indian store. how is it possible to buy it using indian currency!!!!????
Any solution

HI,
No SOLUTION FROM HERE, but I have an unresolved issue with similar overtones.
As a new member, having had a birthday gift from a family member in another country, I am dismayed to find out that there is an unresolved business logic issue, which will allow me to own a MacBook Air, but because I live in a different country to the place of purchase there is a big No No. Additionally, my pension provideds me with a credit card from that first origin, but I am forbidden from buying any software elswhere? Apple seem reluctant to discuss this with me, but some solutions have been offered to get me the free downloads?
Does this come under 'unfit for purpose' and/or 'dodgy trading'? Apple unspoken message, buying from abroad. Dont go there!
Any help or views?

After charging ipod says there is not music on ipod even though storgage useage indicated all of the music is still there

I recently charged/synched my 160 GB ipod classic - I may have disconnected it before it was ready. Now the ipod says there is not music/playlists on the ipod - when I had used up over half the space previously. I think the music is still on the ipod because it indicated something listed as "other" is taking up the same space the music used to take up. How do I get the ipod to go back to recognizing the music?

Other is corrupt files, probably caused when you disconnected. Connect the iPod to iTunes and use the Restore button on the Device/Summary pane. This will remove everything and then re-load the iPod with the contents of your Library.

No. In fact, my ipod detects the livebox and the network but I can not connect to the internet.

I was recently updating my phone to the newest software after ios7. It froze for quite a while so I tried holding down the home button and the power button and it shut off. Now it says I have to restore my whole phone but an Error keeps occurring?

2nd gen 8G iPod Touch, upgraded to iOS4, now wifi doesn't work

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch and I upgraded to iOs4 a few hours ago, and now my wifi won't connect no matter what I do. I've restored the whole iPod twice. I've renewed the lease on the wifi connection for our home network. I've done just about everything that I have found on the internet to try and help and nothing works.
I select our home network and type in the password and it "connects". But if I try to do anything online, it immediately says that it's not connected. It works otherwise, but I mainly use it for apps, and most of those apps need an internet connection. It's starting to seem like a very pretty paperweight.
I've seen that others have had similar problems, but has anyone found a fix for this yet? I can't afford to just go out and buy a new iPod, especially since the new operating system is what made it break

And I've done all of the steps on this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Updated to iOS5, now ipod says i'm in China

I updated my ipod to iOS5, and now my ipod says I'm in Shanghai, China.
I'm in the US.
The time, weather, and twitter trend list are all set to Shanghai. I even tried the locate my ipod thing and it said my ipod is in China, lol.
I know I can set the time manually, and I did, but everything else is messed up and it's bothering me. I never had this problem before I updated to iOS5.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

The iPod gets your location from identifying your router and then checking its (Apple's) database for the location in the router. If your router is not in its database there is nothing you can do to get it correctly entered. Shanghai may be the default location for routers not in the database. Apple will eventually scan your area and get your router into the database. Try taking your ipod to a site with a public wi-fi source. Connect to the wi-fi and see if your location works there.

After upgrading to Yosemite I had to upgrade iPhoto and now it says I need to update my photo library or it will be lost...HELP

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade iPhoto. Now when I try to open iPhoto I get the following message:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete .
Question is...how do i upgrade the photo library?

You can't back up an open iPhoto...
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Upgrading to iOS4 - DO NOT Sync your Apps yet!

Hey all,
Unless I'm missing something, I'm anticipating a major annihilation of our purchased apps! I'm on a 3G, I have a bunch of purchased apps, went through the upgrade process today, did exactly what iTunes told me, watched the little bars for over an hour when it said it was backing up, restoring, etc. and when I started fiddling around with the new app folders feature on my device I figured it would be quicker to arrange everything visually in iTunes. So I went to the Apps tab and my phone was visible but the app pages were greyed out and I couldn't move them.
Hmmmmmmmm.
So, I clicked the "Sync Apps" button and got a pop-up message that gave me a little warning in a polite but hidden agenda Apple tone to the effect of "You think you should click this button, we're making it seem as though it will be okay, but what you don't realize is that because it's an OS release day and we haven't sorted things out yet, you're about to be screwed.....maybe, but probably, and only we really know, we think, cause we change everything."
Now, I clicked "Sync Applications" and nothing on the phone started happening.....however, the "Sync" button on the lower right corner was available, which I'm assuming is the real trigger that one needs to pull to make this happen. So, I DID NOT push that button, however, my app window panes were all rearranged graphically and I had the option to move things around.
Here's the kicker:
Most of my purchased apps were GONE. Only the stock apps remained and some of the purchased content was there but at least 70% of my paid apps were no longer "on the device" in the layout. I checked the Apps tab in iTunes preferences to get that info available in my sidebar and NOTHING showed up at all. So, in updating iTunes, my little Apps library disappeared as well.
Back to the actual Phone....everything is still intact, remember I never hit the bottom-right "Sync" button, but I am left to believe that we have a time bomb on our hands here. People are going to update, hit these "Syncs" and lose their material!
Anybody know what is up here? Did I do something wrong?

Fixed it......
The problem was my Apps library in iTunes was not populated with the apps on my phone after the update of iTunes and iOS4. Therefore, that is why I "lost" them visually. Now, had I gone and hit "Apply" I would have been screwed, since nothing was in my iTunes App library.....Sneaky.....
In iTunes, File>"Transfer Purchases from iPhone"
This populates the iTunes App library with the apps on your device. It will take a few minutes, but all of the apps will now show up when you go back and try to sync the iPhone.
