When my iPod syncs, over 100 songs no longer download. What happened? They used to download but now they don't.
When my iPod syncs, over 100 songs (much of the library, actually) no longer download. What happened? This used to work just fine.
This just happened to me this morning. When I left work on Friday, everything was working in iTunes. And now this morning, I open up iTunes and nothing plays. I did all the troubleshooting from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 and nothing helped. Anyone have any ideas???

What setting do I use on my Ipad 2 and Iphone 3GS to enable google calendar to sync thru Icloud between my 2 devices? Thank you!
Hey JonC84
Thanks for the question. You can definitely sync your new iPod touch with the local calendar on your computer (you won't need to setup an account like iCloud). The following article may help you achieve this:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
Calendars
To sync calendars with your computer, choose "Sync Calendars" or "Sync iCal Calendars."
- When syncing calendars, you can sync all calendars or sync specific calendars.
- You can limit the data that is synced to only events that have occurred in the last 30 days. The option can be changed to any number of days.
For additional information, see this article (while the article refers to iTunes 11, most steps are applicable for you):
iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad

I have a Sonos system in my house and suddenly discovered that many songs I bought off of iTunes years ago are 'grayed out' when I try to play them from my iPhone or do not appear as options at all when I try to play them on Sonos from my overall music library. It's well over 100 songs I bought back before mid-2009 when Apple dropped this DRM thing. From what I think I am reading, if I want to play those songs on Sonos, the ONLY way to do so is pay Apple another $25/year for iTunes Match (which I don't have any interest in) and then re-download them all in iTunes Plus format??
Matt,
I agree it was not all communicated real well, but in your case it will work out. You missed the program where you could have upgraded 100 tracks for 30 cents each (=$30) but now you can do it via Match (=$25). It works pretty simply, per this document:
Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?
Yes. If you subscribe to iTunes Match, you can download your previously purchased music again in the iTunes Plus format. To do so:
You need to delete the original DRM song from your library first. Doing this enables you to download the song again in the iTunes Plus format from iTunes in the Cloud.
Click the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store.
Click Music.
Locate the artist of the song you want to upgrade.
Click the iCloud Download icon next to the song you want to upgrade.
Just don't forget to put the Plus files on your hard drive -- properly backed up of course -- and to cancel the Match subscription before the second year rolls around! -
I have been purchasing songs from itunes for the past year. I have over 100 songs. I recently got a new computer and I synched the iphone to it. I can't find 90% of my music. Where is it and how can I get it back? I checked itunes under purchased and it only shows 13 songs. Please help.
You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases

Original files can't be found?! Help! Lost over 100 songs (I think)
In my Itunes library, next to over 100 songs (on the left), there's an exclamation point. when you click on that, it says Original file can't be found and would I like to locate it?
It USED to be on my Itunes (after hours upon hours of loading my cd's)
Now, I copy my Itunes library to an external drive as a backup, so I'm hoping it's somewhere there...any suggestions?
These songs are no longer on my IPOD either.
Thanks!This has been happening to me for a long time now. Files just randomly disappear, and they have not moved and are exactly where they should be. In an album, purchased from the iTunes store, the first track plays, but the others will not. When I locate the file, it is in the same folder as the first track in my iTunes library folder, which iTunes sees, but have to manually locate all files in the album one at a time. Seeing as I estimate there are hundreds of tracks missing (I have over 6,000), I have not got the time to sort this, so now have big gaps all over the place which is very annoying.
*COME ON APPLE* How hard can it be to write a simple auto locate all missing tracks, as they are all in the iTunes library folder, they have not moved, so why can't it find it.
This is a serious bug and needs addressing. Been happening for ages for no reason at all. Not got a simple fix other than opening one file at a time, which is INFURIATINGLY SLOW!! -
LOST OVER 100 SONGS BY ACCIDENTALLY CHOOSING TO TRANSFER SONGS
I HAVE ACCIDENTLY CHOSEN TRANSFER ON ITUNES AND LOST OVER 100 SONGS THAT I HAD PURCHASED. IS THERE A WAY TO RETRIEVE THEM?
First of all, try TURNING OFF YOUR CAPSLOCK.
Then try posting in the correct forum.
This is the *Mac OS X Technologies > iSync* forum. iSync is a Mac-only application for syncing Contacts & Calendars to mobile phones & PDAs. It has absolutely nothing to do with iPods, iTunes or Windows PCs.
Try asking in the *iTunes for Windows* forum. -
My ipod has over 3500 songs on it but my itunes account suddenly only has 150 songs
my ipod has over 3500 songs in it - suddenly my itunes account only has 150 songs - i am afraid to try to sync as i do not want to lose my music! hel please
Yes.
You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar -
I downloaded the new version of iTunes and now over 100 songs have an exclamation mark beside them and won't play. The message says: "The song ... could not be used because the original file could not be found." How do I get these songs back?
Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

I have money in my itunes account but when I try to buy a song it doesn't let me buy it or download. It doesn't do anything!
You cannot and need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if the article doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
Changing the rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

My Ipod says disabld please connect to Itunes. I have connected but now I don't know what to do from here? I can't even unlock my phone.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
I have purchased songs from itunes on my ipad but now they are not there anymore. How can they get them back? Dont come up in songs not on this ipad and in itunes it asks to buy again
If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option -
My computer crashed and the hard drive is no longer. I have purchased a new laptop but now have no access to my old itunes library. My laptop has created a new itunes account with NOTHING in it?? My Itouch has everything loaded but it wont sync with this itunes account....HELP
- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. -
I have already reset my ipod shut it off as well. I have upgraded Itunes and the ipod does not want to show up on Itunes anymore. It used to before but now it doesn't. How do I solve my problem?
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Run this to help if it identifies the cause
