What happened to songs on ipod ?

I just got my ipod downloaded apple store and put songs on my ipod, but had over 96 songs on that my brother had put on for me from his computer. Now they are gone?

"I just got my ipod downloaded apple store"
I have no idea what that means, but if those 96 songs on your iPod were not in your own iTunes library and you synced your iPod, then they were deleted.
If there are songs on your iPod that are not in your library, then whenever you sync it, they are deleted from the iPod and replaced with whatever is currently in your iTunes.

What happened? Songs converted to other. . .

I have a 60gb video ipod, software version 1.1, running itunes 7 on windows XP. Never really had anyproblems. Have not installed new software or itunes to keep it that way. Bought a few songs on itunes last nightight and plugged in my ipod to download them. In the itunes status box it said something about analyzing songs for gap playback. . . it took some time. Then I went to play my ipod today and all my songs (1477) were gone. It shows my storage is approx 6 gb in other, nothing under audio or video. Can someone please tell me what happened? I am sure it said update complete and I did not unplug too early. ???

ipodwrk,
In most cases it will be a one time thing for the whole library, as songs are added they will be checked for gapless playback going forward.
If you turn off crossfade in the iTunes playback preferences, iTunes will try to play the songs gaplessly. This means iTunes will use the information from the analyzing gapless playback step to try and skip silence at the beginning and end of song files. Crossfade tries to overlap them some, similiar to how a radio station or live DJ might.
Some iPod models also support gapless playback as well.
Hope this helps,

What does shuffle songs in iPod menu as opposed to Settings do?

What's the difference between hitting Shuffle Songs in iPod Menu and cycling through the Shuffle options in Settings? I have a 5th gen iPod Nano and if I turn Shuffle OFF in Settings and then go to Shuffle Songs in Menu, it seems to turn Shuffle back on...So, does Shuffle Songs turn Shuffle on and off too? On mine, it seems to just turn it on.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi boulderskies@ck,
You may want to consult the iPod nano’s user guide, available here -
iPod nano 5th generation User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1194/en_US/iPod_nano_5th_gen_UserGu ide.pdf
You will see (on page 6) that selecting Shuffle songs from the main menu will play all songs in random order.
Further descriptions of shuffle functions are found on page 43.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

What happens when synching Mac iPod to my Windows laptop?

I have only used my 4th gen iPod with my iMac. I also have a PC (XP) laptop with iTunes also. I am on vacation for 2 months with only my PC laptop and want to sync my iPod with iTunes on it to listen to podcasts.
How do I do that?
What happens when I do that?
What will I lose on it?
Will it be easy to reset it for use with my iMac when I return home?
Thanks.

Hello Gatlas,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How do I do that?
You will not be able. A PC cannot read a Mac formatted iPod. Upon plugging the iPod in, you will be asked to reformat the iPod for Windows. After doing so, you will be able to sync it with your PC, but reformatting or restoring the iPod will wipe all content from the iPod and set it back to its original default settings.
However, after doing so, you can set it up to "manually manage music and videos" by enabling this option from your iPod's Summary tab. This will allow you to sync content to the iPod from multiple computers. And since it will be formatted for a PC as FAT32, it is cabable of being read and written to by Macs as well. For more help and information on syncing your iPod with multiple computers, see this Apple support document.

What Happened to my Beloved iPod Screen?

What happened here?
http://picasaweb.google.com/Tom.Goodreau/FurnitureForSale/photo#4951412163386736 658
Any explainations? Thanks in advance!
Sony Vaio Windows XP Pro

These defects on the screen are clearly on the inside of the housing on the LCD itself. What makes me wonder are the diagonal lines that are so symmetrical.
I'm assuming it could be three things that could have caused this, because it wasn't like this a week ago:
1. I did buff it using Brasso (not the first time)
2. Manufactures Defect
3. I took it to the beach, no where near the water though, just set it on a table between two chairs
I always keep it in its sleeve when I'm not using it. I'm a perfectionist and this is driving me nuts!

What happened to sound on iPod?

My iPod has worked perfectly fine, but tonight when I tried to play my music through my speakers, there's no sound. It selects the piece of music I want, but doesn't advance when I hit the play button. I tried it also on my portable speakers, just to check, but the same thing happens. Any ideas?

Have you tried resetting it? That typically clears things like this up.
To do that:
Toggle the Hold switch on and off, then
Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears.
When it restarts, see if the problem persists.

What happens to songs that could be matched in the iTunes Store? Do they get replaced by the iTunes Store's version?

I haven´t quite understood how iTunes Match works like.
And I am wondering why only 30 out of my 600 songs now have this iCloud symbol next to it.
Anyway, what I expected iTunes Match to be is that it would give me the iTunes Store's versions of all my CD-imported songs...

I should have read further before posting. Sorry. I see reading elsewhere the option was indeed removed. Hope they bring it back. Posted feedback to that end as suggested elsewhere. Thanks.

What happened to my phones iPod?

I still have my iPhone 3 and decided to update to the new operating system today. No I have the new version of iTunes - and no iPod on my phone. How do I get my music onto my phone?? Please help.
thanks

Same way as always.
You must use itunes to put music on the iphone.
Sync is just as you did before.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.
Not sure I understand. Do everything just as you did before. Are you having a problem doing this? What is that problem?

Computer Crashed What Happens to Songs on my Nano

My computer crashed and I brought it in to be fixed. I paid extra money to have my music, photos, documents put onto a disk. When I got my computer back only 35 out of 300 songs were on it. I was able to load those songs into the ITunes library. If I plug my Nano into ITunes will I lose all the other 265 songs that are currently on the Nano? I set Itunes to not automatically sync. I do not really care if those songs are in my library I just want them saved on the Nano. Also will I be able to add new songs?

What happened to "Songs you May Like" in my sidebar?

I used to play a song in Itunes and it would show songs like that song in my right hand sidebar. Now it's just got PING. I turned off ping. How do I get the genius sidebar back? I discovered a lot of good songs that way.

What happened to my old iPod in my device list?

My iPod was stolen on October 22, and after a long month and a half of procrastination, my friend cleared it off and i bought it from home. Both my old and purchased from friend one were 32gb ipod touch 4th generations. While the theft wouldn't really be able to do much with an ipod he couldn't get into, I didn't really want to erase it (which was impossible because it wasn't connected to the internet) until I bought the one from my friend. I restored the one I bought with all the apps and music I had before, but when I go into my devices listed under my Apple ID, then only one that shows up is the one I got from my friend. I was going to ask Apple if they could somehow erase the stolen one for me, but I can't do that without it being my product. This also means I can't access the serial number, which I do have around the house somewhere, but it will be hard to find. Does anyone think it's worth going through the trouble to get them to erase it, and if so, how would I go about doing so?

I did that to ge all my stuff back, but I guess the fact that I restored it onto the new one is effectively making the new one the old one.

What happened to Facetime on iPod Touch?

Today after IOS 6 update, can't use it. I have everything else working - WIFI but no facetime.

THANKS supamig! I had to reboot twice & then went into settings. Now working on my iPod also.

My iPod (5th gen refurbished) flashed a blue screen, then shut down, and restarted. It's fine now, but should I be worried? What happened?

My iPod was working just fine, and then when I went on YouTube, it flashed a blue screen (for like one minute) and then restarted and shut down. Should I be worried? What happened?

My new iPod 5th gen did the same! I think it might be a YouTube and iOS connection glitch

HELP !! What happened to iTrip ?!

I just bought a new 30 gig iPod and was distressed to find my iTrip accessory (from my old 20 gig iPod) to broadcast to an FM channel did not adapt to the new iPod. What happened to may favorite IpOD feature? Will I no longer be able to listen to my ipod in mr car or hotel room ??!!
Is there are compatible feature on the 30 gig!

There is a new iTrip. It ***** that they didn't make it forward compatible, but they do have a new one that plugs in at the bottom and has a lot of different features. You don't have to load in "Music Tracks" to change the station, there is an LED screen and a switch. I loved mine before it got stolen at work by someone right before they left the company. Check it out at the apple store!
