Error message iPod cannot update b/c all of the playlists no longer exist

Hello. I have been getting this error message. "Songs on the iPod "MAR(the name of my iPod)" cannot update because all of the playlists selecting for updating no longer exist." And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist. I have a feeling ths might have to do with the fact that on vacation the person I was visiting gave me a gift of putting all of his music that would fit into the external hard drive part of my iPod, and for the past week or so I have been putting that music onto my 40 GB portable hard drive at home. I suspect I took a vital folder out of my iPod by accident. Right now I have the folder iPod_control if I open my iPod up in My Computer. Am I missing something? Right now my iPod is empty because iTunes made a composite playlist last week and I deleted it thinking I could get my real playlists back. Can you help me, or reccomend a site/someone who can? Thank you.

hiya!
And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist.
let's just doublecheck this. folks get this message if they have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in their itunes "ipod" preferences tab. so bring up that tab ("edit > preferences", click "ipod" while the ipod is showing up in the source list), and do a playlist by playlist crosscheck of the playlists selected in that tab, and the playlists showing up in the itunes sourcelist.
is there any playlist selected in the preferences tab that isn't showing up in the sourcelist?
love, b

( but it was still on the computer thank goodness, anyway now I can't put anything back on to my Ipod, it say "Ipod cannot update. The required file cannot be found"
I have Windows Xp Pro 2, what can I do, please lead me in the right direction.

OK - Looks like your iTunes is working and has the songs you expect in it. No need to uninstall iTunes.
Are the Playlists on the iPod only, or are they in iTunes only, or are they on both? Are they populated with the songs you expect?
You can save the Playlists by 'Exporting' them individually to a PC file. Within iTunes, select (highlight) a playlist, go to File==>Export Song List and save the file to a 'Playlists' folder that you create. Save the playlists as a .txt and an .xml file (do both for each playlist: data redundancy is good).
Do you have the original photos that are on the iPod? We will have to Restore the iPod and all data on it will be erased. As you have all the necessary music on iTunes, all we would be concerned about are the photos. Or anything else you haven’t mentioned.
As long as you are satisfied with the state of your iTunes (all music and playlists present and accounted for), then you can comfortably Restore the iPod and place it all back on the unit. Restoring an iPod will not impact your iTunes. It just clears off the iPod's HD and replaces the operating system with a fresh copy. This should correct your inability to download any additional music to the iPod.
Before you proceed with the Restore below, make sure that you have copies of all the data on the iPod so you do not lose anything.
First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
Make sure that you have the latest iPod Updater software (if you already do, skip to *)
You also need to install the new Updater software (if applicable) by double-clicking on the file that downloads.
After you install the Updater to your PC, reboot your computer.
After rebooting, run the Updater.
* Go to: Start ==> Programs ==> iPod.
It should initialize then ask you to connect an iPod.
Connect the iPod when asked (not before) and you should have two options available: Update or Restore.
-- Choose the Restore option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version and format your iPod's hard drive.
After the Restore complete, re-register the iPod with iTunes, choose your syncing preference and place the music back on the iPod. Do whatever it is you do with the photos (I just have a mini, so no experience with photos), and you should be good to go.
Post back if you have any questions. Especially if you are unsure of anything before you perform any additional processes.

I recently purchased the newest nano. I have 3 other nano's and iPad iPhone, oh and iPod touch. When I plug in nano to my mac I get the message "iPod cannot update because it contains files that are used by another application. How can manage this?

It means that nano was used on a third-party software or synced from different computer to sync music. Does that nano show in iTunes? If yes, then restore completely. If not, then you may need to head to Apple Store and see what they can do.

How are you trying to update, via wifi or itunes? If using one, then try the other.
What version do you currently have now?

Why my ipod cannot link to any wifi hot points?

why my ipod cannot link to any of the wifi hot points

What happens when you try? Any messages?
Did it work before?
Do you see the networks?
If wifi is grayed out see:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
Frequently, this is the result of a hardware problem.

My ipod cannot update???

it says my ipod cannot update yet it still updates video/ music but now pictures dont work, anybody ave any clue how this could of happened.

See this article on updating problems, and, if that is not related to your problem then you have a syncing problem. See this Photo Sync FAQ. You may also want to take a peak at compatible photo formats and make sure, in your iPod's preferences on iTunes, that you have the photo preferences the way you want them (go to 'iPod Preferences' from 'Preferences' or from the iPod or podcast window on iTunes, then click 'Photos').

Sellective Songs Timed Out / stopped (err = -3259)

I can download some iTunes w/ no problems, but certain songs keep giving me problems. I just can not get them to download. I buy the song and it will time out. I get a popup error that says "There was a problem downloading "Name of Song" The nework connection timed out." Under status it says "stopped (err = -3259)". It's really frustrating because not all of the songs I buy do this, only certain ones. I can exit iTunes, go to the Downloads section, pull the songs up, and try to resume; but they just error out again.
This is my work computer and I'm leary of messing w/ settings and firewalls because I don't have much knowledge of what I'm doing. Can someone please help me? The more detailed the instructions the better.
All help is appreciated.

USB 2.0 ...
when iphone not plugged in can still seem to 'resume' the download in itunes -> store -> downloads -> iPhone software update. Still having same problem though... managed to get as far as 15Mb, thats it.
Virgin Broadband 3G (Optus 3G) which is known to be flaky (# of drop-outs) but why wouldn't itunes/apple have a download manager that allows downloads to keep downloading during internet connection short interupts. If I click 'pause' in the downloads screen, it goes back to 0Mb downloaded... so resume/pause doesn't work. Have probably tried over 20 times now...

When I try download new os 5.1.0 on my iPhone 4 I get this error message "stopped (err = -3259)" after it has downloaded. Has anyone had this problem and if so what is the fix.

When I try to download iPhone OS 5.1.0 on my PC I get this message "stopped (err = -3259)"and says it timed out at the server after the entire download. I have tried 3 times, it takes about 8 min. to download the 790.7 MB file. Has anyone had this problem and what is the fix?

See "error -3259" here.

While downloading purchased items, message pops 'There was an error downloading some purchased items stopped err = 3259'

While downloading purchased items, message pops 'There was an error downloading some purchased items stopped err = 3259'

You'll have to check your security software settings, iTunes has to be able to connect to Apple servers during the download process.

What does it mean "stopped (err = -3259)"

Im trying to Chruch Media Design Tv podcast. But I cant. When I try to Subscribe Im always getting this error;
"There was a problem downloading " Church Media Design TV".
The network connection timed out.
And when I choose specific videos, podcast trying to connect than give me this error;
stopped (err = -3259)
I talk to provider and he said there is no problem! What am I do? What is that mean all this errors?

Well, I subscribed to the podcast from that link, and downloaded and played the latest episode without any difficulty at all. Which doesn't really get us any further: you can download everything except that podcast, it would seem, and I can download it; so there is nothing wrong with the podcast but no global (widespread) fault at your end.
The only oddity I can see is in his 'enclosure' tags, e.g.
<enclosure url="http://feeds.churchmediadesign.tv/~r/churchmediadesign/~5/TgUCgiNIrzk/Cmdt v-ep125976.mp4" length="1" type="video/mp4" />
Where it says 'length' this should be the file size in bytes; you will notice he says '1' - 1 byte... - if you were using a different operating system from mine (I'm on 10.6.6) I would wonder whether that version if iTunes was taking the 1 byte literally and stopping downloading on that. Are you using iTunes 10? I don't know what iTunes 9 would do - iTunes 10 has no difficulty with it for me.
You could try contacting the author again and asking him to put the correct value in and see whether that helps.

Why won't ios5 download correctly? (err -3259)

I have downloaded ios5 several times. I get an error message at the end, it says that software hasn't downloaded, (err -3259) and says I have to try downloading it again. Why is it doing this? I just want to download ios5. Is this happening to me because my laptop is a PC?

Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
