Why won't the music work on my ipod?? please help me!!!!!!!!

okay, i plugged my ipod video into my friends computer, and since then over half of the songs on my ipod won't work! in itunes, they have a little exclamation point next to them, and on my ipod, when i try to listen to most of the songs it just skips through the songs until it finds one that works. what can i do to make them work again?? i would prefer not to have to start all over and take all the music off my ipod, because most of the songs in my library has a little exclamation point next to them also. please please help me!! i'm going crazy!

Unfortunately, I think that is probably your only option. the "!" is stating that the link between the music and the visual title on your iPod is broken and the iPod doesn't know where it is. Did you have auto-updating on for your music when you plugged it into your friends computer? And how did you remove it from the computer? If the iPod was still updating when you removed it, that could have caused it.

  • Why won't the internet work on my iPod?

    On my iPod touch 4G, the internet has stopped working. Not just safari, but everything that requires an internet connection. I get the standard little message 'Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet.' Sure, I can open them but they won't work without the internet. It happened a few days ago and I'm completely stumped. I've rebooted, updated, rejoined my internet, reset my internet, reset my network settings, everything I can think of and whatever someone has told me. I've deleted recent apps, just in case they were intefering with the connection, but that doesn't do anything. This has happened once before, where a simple rooter reboot solved it and there was no more of it. However, nothing seems to be working this time. Any advice? My operating system is actually 4. 3. 5, but there's no option for this. I don't have a router or DNS code, but then again I'm not sure I ever did. There's also no URL in the HTTP proxy box. Is this a problem?

    Is it this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:
    Why can't I select my wifi settings?
    A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    If you place the iPod next to the router does it see the network? If so that indicated a loose internal antenna

    Last try:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why won't the music player quick link work on ios7

    I have installed ios7 and now the quick link music player will not work! Any ideas as I cannot play music in the car without going into the full music player! Also my in car controls have stopped working the player? Very annoying worked fine on ios6

  • Why won't the music app work after the IOS 7.1 update?

    Every time i try to listen to my music in the Apple Music app it opens then freezes. Sometimes it will let me open an artist but wont play the songs. I tried going into the settings to see if i could change anything but it wont let me open the music settings tab, the button just turns gray and freezes my phone. I've tried force quitting the app and re starting my phone and nothing has worked.

    Hello mbongi1,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Music app on your iPhone.  You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already to isolate and troubleshoot the issue.  I have a couple of additional suggestions you can try.
    First, I recommend resetting your iPhone:
    Reset
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue persists after resetting your iPhone, I recommed backing up and restoring your iPhone:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why won't the music file I clicked and dragged onto my website publish?

    I followed all the instructions in iWeb for inserting a music file on a page, by clicking on the music file and dragging it onto the iWeb page of my choice.  Yet when I attempt to publish the changes, I get an error message saying "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."  I've tried it numerous times, but always get that message.  I've tried changing the file name so that it does NOT include any spaces, but that doesn't work.  Then, I tried replacing the spaces with underscores, but still it won't publish.  Anyone have any idea how I can get this to work?

    To verify that it's not the music file publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser. Click on the site's folder and select Local Folder in the Publish To menu.
    Click to view full size
    If the music file is there and plays OK then do this:
    go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
    login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
    login with your correct username and password, launch iWeb and try publishing to MobileMe again.

  • Why won't my music work with iOS7?

    I recently imported Now 87 Disc 1 onto my iPhone 4S with iOS7.1. I imported the music onto my PC with iTunes 11 and put it onto my iPhone with CopyTrans Manager v1.002. I opened the Music app on my iPhone and when I opened Now 87 [Disc 1] not only was the artwork missing but I found that the tracks names were grey and next to each of them there was a red circle with a red square inside of it. When I tried to play the album it skipped all the tracks. Just to be clear, the music is from a CD. I bought it a couple of days ago and when listening to it on my stereo didn't experience any issues at all. I also had enough storage to fit the album in there.
    Thank you for listening to my iPhone/iOS 7.1 troubles.
    Yours sincerely,
    bex1377.
    Good day.

    Hi bex,
    You should post your issue to the CopyTransManager support site. It is not an app from the App store, so we wouldn't be able to help you.
    Cheers,

  • Why, oh why, won't my music go on my iPod?!

    So here's the deal. I had an iPod that worked fine about two years ago, and then it suddenly and mysteriously died about six months ago. Because of my warranty, Apple replaced it. Since then, I have not been able to get it to work. I've been lazy about it but now I am intent on getting it to work!
    When I plug my iPod into my computer's USB drive, nothing comes up. In My Computer, it doesn't show that the iPod is even there. The one time I did get the iPod to come up on my computer, something came up about the program needing to be restored to factory settings, so I pressed restore and then it said "Can't be mounted" or something like that.
    My iTunes works fine - I have plenty of music in there. My iPod itself seems to be okay - it turns on and charges and everything. But when I plug it in to my computer, it immediately says "Okay to disconnect" and nothing shows up on my computer.
    What do you think is going on?? I would LOVE whoever can help me get my iPod working.
    Basic iPod    

    That answers the question right there. If you change the ID on the iPad and then download a Past purchase with that different ID, you lock the IPad into a ninety day period where you cannot use the other ID for downloading past purchases.
    At least that is what I think you have done and there is nothing that you can do now except to wait until the 90 days go by and in your case you have 48 days to go.
    This policy concerning automatic downloads and downloads of past purchases is to prevent theft - like one user trying to sign into a friends account and then download content using that ID. You can do that, but you lock yourself out of the other account - for automatic downloads and downloading purchases for 90 days. At least I think that is the way that this policy works and I think that must have been what you did - use another ID to download a past purchase.

  • Why isn't the internet working on my ipod?

    I've had my ipod touch 2nd gen 8 gb for quite a while now. The internet on the ipod has been working fine until right now. It was also working this morning. I am connected to my home wifi connection and it shows the wifi signal on the top left hand corner too. When I open up safari, it says "Safari could not open the pade because the server stopped responding." To attempt to solve the problem, I restarted my ipod, powered it off and back on, connecting to a different wifi provider but still nothing... Any solutions? :/

    - Try powering off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Do other devices successfull connect to the internet?

  • Why won't the App Store on my iPod touch stay open?

  • . I am new to IPods. I have a Classic 160GB and I can't figure out how to load my music videos to it. I have had no problem loading my music CD's but no go with the music videos I have. Please HELP. Thanks maxsdad

    Hello:
    I am new to IPods. I have a Classic 160GB and I can't figure out how to load Music Videos to iTunes or the IPod. I have had no problem loading my CD's to iTunes and to the IPod, but no go on the Music Videos.
    Please Help
    maxsdad

    B-Rock:
    Ok. Here's the results. I tried all the music videos I wanted to put onto the IPod and the results were:
    I was able to get good results with 2 full length music videos and 2 video singles(only 2 videos on each disk). For a total of 4 videos.
    I was able to encode 5 full length music videos, but the results were distorted (video and audio).
    I was unable to copy 2 full length videos due to error failures. 1 was a "No Title Found" error, the other was a "NAVDAT" error.
    I guess my next question is: Do you know of any other program(s) that I might try, to see if I can get good results with the videos that didn't work with Handbrake?
    Thanks again for all your help.

  • I can't find my music folder in my ipod. please help

    I synced all my folder music to Ipod classic, then I look to my Ipod classic but I can't find my music folder anywhere. Please help...

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Why won't the crop work when setting a wallpaper

         The new iOS is fine once you get used to it, but I'm rather annoyed with how I can't customize my wallpapers anymore.  I like to customize everything on my phone, especially the pictures that I see everytime I get on my phone, so when it automatically zooms in on the picture I chose, then doesn't accept the edits I try to set to make it work, I get aggrivated.  I don't want to have to choose which ever picture won't look bad zoomed in or not centered correctly; I want to pick whatever picture I want at the time and make it fit.
         Is there a temporary work around for this problem or is it something I'm stuck with until they do another update to the new iOS?
