Why does all the content delete from my iPod everytime it connects to iTunes
I'm getting real frustrated and I am getting sick of the same thing happening everytime. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's iTunes. I have an iPod classic 160Gb, the computer is Acer - Aspire One 772 (it's junk, but it works for the time being) Windows 7 (64)
Here is what happens: I only have podcasts in my iTunes. I have about 15 different podcasts and about 169 episodes in my iTunes. I check and download episodes daily. After downloading episodes, I hook up my iPod to transfer new podcasts to the iPod. iTunes shows everything working fine but after ejecting my pod and looking to see if they transferred they are all deleted. I get angry and want to break everything but I resist.
To get podcasts onto my iPod I have to restart my computer, open iTunes, reset sync history, then connect my iPod. It doesn't get recognized, so I have to restore the iPod. After restoring I sync it up. Lately it has been freezing during the sync at about 65 episodes. I have to force iTunes to shut down and sometimes go through the restore process. So after listening to my iPod all day, I will come home, check for and download new episodes and hook up my iPod and bam...no more podcasts on my iPod. I need solutions on what could be causing this and how to fix it.
This is what I have done so far: I have tried another iPod classic and the same thing happens. I have deleted iTunes and reinstalled it. I have checked the iPods with Windows for errors and bad sectors. My last option that I am holding out on, is to delete iTunes and delete all the podcasts from the computer. When I first got this temp. computer everything worked good. I do not know what happened.
Any ideas, thoughts and solutions are welcomed.
Thanks,
Kenny

I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...AND yet it is connected..HELP
Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

My 7 year old daughter has an iPod Touch 4 and she used the wrong password too many times. She thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes. Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt? We are traveling this week so don't have access to the serial number or the computer that was used to originally set up her iTouch. I don't even know what operating system it's on and can only see the home screen.
Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 -
Why does all the apps - default and the ones I downloaded - shut down by themselves repeatedly?
For the past few days, every single one of my apps seems to shut down by themselves, as soon as I try to open them. I can try to open them several times in a go but still the same thing. Even restarted my phone a few times and deleted the background app, which usually works...
Also it doesn't save any of my photos or theres a plain grey 'picture' with 'JPEG' on it. Moreover, on my camera roll, when I tap a photo to enlarge it, none of them focuses, so all them are blurry. I can't seem to send messages either: that said I usually get all my notifications shown on my lock screen, but lately it doesn't show at all.
Another thing, my phone keeps repeatedly buzzing when there is no notification - or email - shown either on the lock screen and/or home screen.
Please help! I'm running out of options what to do!
MetalRockKat xYour best bet is to back up your device to iCloud or iTunes, then reset your device to Factory Settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Content & Settings, but do not restore it from the backup. Add your apps back onto your phone one at a time (download them from iTunes in the Cloud by tapping on the App Store icon, then on Updates>Purchased>All, then click on one or two apps and download them and see if the problem persists.
Continue to download apps to see if you start running into the issue again at any point. If you are able to get all the apps downloaded and functioning without any issues, then reset the device back to factory settings, and then restore it from your backup, and see if the issues starts up again.
If it does start up again, then there is something in your backup that is corrupted, and your best bet at that point is to "rebuild" your device from Factory Settings rather than to keep the backup on your device.

Why does all the formatting in my composed e-mails disappear when I send them?
Hi! I've noticed lately that whenever I type up an e-mail with formatting (like changing the color of text, in particular), it looks fine when I'm typing it, but as soon as I send it, the formatting disappears. I bcc'd myself a few of the e-mails that I've sent recently and this is what I am finding. The formatting looks fine when I send it, but what the receiver actually gets seems to be lacking much of the formatting (especially when I change the color of text, it seems to always revert back to black in the sent message).
About a month ago, my motherboard fried so I am now using a newer system running Vista. This is a new problem for me so I'm naturally wondering if this new system has anything to do with the problems I'm having. I have looked at all the OPTIONS and ACCOUNT SETTINGS in Thunderbird and I cannot find anything that might either explain or correct this formatting problem.
Can anyone help? Thank bunches!!! Lauren ;-)Dear wuergler,
Thank you for helping me to resolve the formatting problem I was having with Thunderbird. I checked all the settings as you suggested and your option #4 did the trick. I offer only a very slight amendment to your instructions to make them less confusing (for me, anyway---I realize that the menus may differ somewhat in different versions of Thunderbird), as follows:
2. In "Preferences/Tools > Options > Composition > General [tab] > Send Options > Text Format" should not be "Convert the message to plain text" and in the tab "Plain Text Domains" the recipient domain should of course not be listed.
3. Before sending a new message [but while still in the in the new message, not your Inbox], "Options > Delivery Format" must not be changed to "Plain Text Only".
4. "Tools > Options > Display > Formatting [tab] > Colors > 'Allow content to choose its own colors, instead of my selections above'" should be checked (default).
Thanks to christ1 as well. Glad we finally figured it out. Cheers! Lauren ;-) -
Why does is the Content tab in Preferences missing?
When I try to view the Content tab in Preferences, it shows the last tab I clicked on. For example, when I click on Tabs and then try to view the Content tab, it shows the Tabs tab.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Why does App Store keep crashing!!! It's completely ****!! I am going to buy an android phone if they don't fix this immediately!!!
Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. I'll bet you've not tried any or all of these basic steps.
BTW, we're users, here, not Apple. So threating to buy an android phone not only makes you look like an idiot, but none of us users on this forum really give a **** what you do. -

ITunes deletes all the music off of my iPod. Why?
iTunes is being a huge piece of crap. I want it to sync my songs onto my iPod Touch 4G. Instead, it decides to delete all 5500+ songs off of my iPod... twice. Once, I managed to put the songs back on, this takes over an hour and a half, then it deletes them again the next day. HELP ME PLEASE! I AM SO MAD WITH THE SERVICE I AM GETTING!
If the songs are removed from your iPod at a Sync, then presumably, you have a setting somewhere that is causing this.
First of all, you are not trying to Sync with two different Libraries, are you? The iPod is designed to Sync with one Library only, if you try to connect your iPod to a different computer (with a second Library), then all the original content will be removed.
Then - when the iPod is connected to your iTunes Library, check on the Device/Summary pane and confirm that the Sync Music is "on" and Entire music library is also "on".
If neither of these steps provides a solution, walk us through whatever you are doing when the music disappears from your iPod. -
Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud. If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices. If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't. (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

Recently, U2 music appeared on my ipod without my requesting it or wanting it. I was able to delete all of the songs except for one. How do I delete the last one from my ipod? The song does not show up in iTunes when I plug my ipod into the computer. The version installed on my ipod is 7.1.2(11D257).
Hi donfrommars,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Please use the following article for information and instruction on deleting the U2 album from your devices and account.
Remove iTunes gift album "Songs of Innocence" from your iTunes music library and purchases
Have a great day,

Rebuilding a locally saved mailbox deletes all the content...
Rebuilding a locally saved mailbox from the menu deletes all the content and doesn't rebuild anything at all in OS X Mavericks Mail.app
Can somebody try and replicate?
Reimporting by deleting the Envelope Index seems to not import everything correctly either...
Thank you
MBThis happened to me recently, deleting 8,000 messages stored on the local Inbox for one of my POP accounts. I posted a help query and nobody rose to the occasion. Is it really true that Rebuild, without so much as a warning, will permanently eradicate stored emails, essentially doing something as radical as emptying the trash, with its warning that it's not undoable? If you have to rely upon Time Machine to recover those emails, surely this is a serious action? Did you get any help further on your query?

My 3 external hd's are 500GB (total 1.5TB) and my Mac Mini is 500GB (Time Capsule is connected to this). I want to be able to have all the content from all these sources stored on my Time Capsule as if I only had 1 external drive. Is this possible? It is my understanding that when Time Machine backs up my Mac Mini I have to have my external drives connected since my Mac Mini does not have enough space on it to hold all the content on the exgternal hd's. I can only connect 1 external hard drive at a time and I want to get rid of them and consolidate.
And having to go back in time to search for files on 1 external hard drive and then back in time for the other external hard drive is not the most efficient thing to do. I would like it all in one place.
Thank you for your help!!Back up all data.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
