Why does my ipod music library need restoring several times a day?

I recently updated my ipod touch to the newest software and the whole music library was removed and restored from backup, this did not seem to be a concern until later on that day my library was wiped clean, the ipod was not connected to the comuter while the songs were wiped, i just tapped the music app and it said that my library was empty.
This is very annoying as every time this happens i need to restore my ipod which can take a couple of hours, please help!

Sounds like the 'genius' wasn't much of a genius. There are many people that run/jog with their iPod with no problems. I've dropped mine off a table onto a hardwood floor and had no problems. Sounds like you have a lemon. If you recently purchased it, I would look into exchanging it.

  • Why does iClous ask me to log in several times a day

    Even if I drift away for a few minutes, iCloud asks me for my log in information when I go there. I keep checking the remember me box and none of my other websites are having this problem. What gives? Thanks in advance.

    I've been having this happen as well, ever since the last update. When you download podcasts everyday, it is really annoying. Hope we can get an answer.

  • Why does my iPod not want to restore itself on iTunes?

    my ipod 5th gen stopped working a week ago after i tried updating it to ios 7 and told me to connect ot itunes. i connected it and said i have to restore it for some reason. then i updated the software for the ipod and after its done it disapears and my ipod is the same. Please help its driving me nuts.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my ipod nano now need a 10.5.8 system.

    I got my 4th generation ipod nano 2 years ago, and now it is not recognized on my mac 10.4.11, though it does charge up when connected. I followed all the steps in the troubleshooting manual on the apple site for this problem. I was told to get the latest update of itunes, but that update has system specifications that require 10.5.8 or later. Is Apple trying to force me to replace my perfectly fine 10.4 in order to use my ipod properly? How can I continue to use the ipod apple sold me?

    The IPod does not appear on my desktop at all. I've tried both USB ports and 2 different cables. I tried resetting while connected and yes, I did try placing it in disk mode. It fails at step 5:
    "5. When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears."
    The apple logo appears, but when I hold down the select button and the play/pause button, the disk mode screen does not appear. All that happens is that the ipod turns on. I've tried all the steps, including the flat surface and different hands. It just won't work.

  • Why does opening the music library after a synch always take an eternity

    ....after Apple release a software update? It's very annoying. They usually fix it within a week or two but why can't get they get it right before issuing the update?

    When you change a tag, iTunes needs to rewrite the file back to the disc.
    If the file is a 4MB MP3 it only takes a second, but with a large movie file it can take a while.

  • Why does my Foxfire dim and lock up many times a day?

    several times a day my Foxfire 9.0.1 dims and locks up. I can see the timer running. It can last anywhere from a couple of seconds to minutes.

    Have you tried this?
    1. Backup iPad
    2. Setup iPad as new (Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings)
    3. Install one app at a time and test it before you install the next

  • I have to reset my airport several times a day...why?????

    Why do I have to reset my router several times a day????

    I returned it today. I had to push a bit on the store to replace because they could not duplicate the problem and because I did so many restores, there was no data that they could check to see the history of resets, or so they said.
    But, alas, a secret manager in the back approved a replacement but I was reminded this was a one time courtesy replacement. The Genius rep was very cool, same guy who helped me the first time.
    I said, "how am I supposed to come in when it locks up? I need to use the phone, so I am always going to reset it. I can't wait to come to the store and just live with no phone for a day or two." He responded that unless they can see the problem or duplicate, there is nothing they can do. A very reasonable policy and it makes sense, but you would think that if I just got the phone on Friday and came back Monday, I might get the benefit of the doubt, which I suspect I did in this case.
    Got to love Apple, they just want to make their customers happy. I marveled as another customer brought their Generation 1 iPod nano in for repair / replacement and they were looking for ways to give her a credit. Another guy brought in an iPod classic that clearly had been abused and they replaced it.
    They really do try.

  • TS1441 why does my ipod keep showing the itunes thing after I restored it three time what should I do please help!

    I need help why does my ipod keep saying connect to itunes,I have already restored it 7 times what to do now.HELP ME!

    If the restores were successful, that is completed all steps without errors then:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • Need help with my iPod music library

    I made a back-up of my iPod music library by enabling disk use and copying the music folder from the iPod_Control folder. I recently had to restore (some minor problems when I installed iTunes 7 and updated my iPod), and I moved the songs from the backup music folder to my iPod. All of the files transfered, but my iPod doesn't show the new library. I'm assuming that I have to refresh the library, maybe by deleting the old library file somehow. Any advice? I had songs on my iPod that I no longer have acceess to due to my laptop dying, so simply resynching to my current iTunes library won't help, and I'd rather not look through all the crazy folders in my backup to find my missing tracks. Thanks!

    The iPod usually won't view the songs properly unless iTunes puts them on there.
    But, you have that folder, which is a good thing.
    I would have iTunes update your iPod with those songs.
    In iTunes, go to File-->Add folder to library. Add the iPod_Control folder to the library.
    iTunes will import all of those songs into your iTunes library with the correct names and everything. Then you can update your iPod with iTunes and get all your music on there and recognized. Do not delete or move the folder once you add it to iTunes, as iTunes may be reading the music from it, and moving it may not allow you to play songs in your iTunes library.
    I would restore your iPod before you put the music on there though, as the music you manually added to the iPod may be taking up space and iTunes won't be able to fill that space with music.

  • Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough space available.

    Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough available space.

    The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
    80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
    It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
    Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.
