Lost Loads Of Songs!
Hi guys,
I just tried adding a couple of new songs to my Ipod (I've got around 1700) anyway I just took my Ipod out of my Itunes Cable and only have 650!!
Where have all my songs gone? I've tried it again but it doesn't add any.
The songs on my Ipod are still showing up on Itunes so I don't know whats happened.
Can someone help me please?

Just reset the iPod and the songs should appear on the screen of the iPod.
# 2 Re: Lost Loads Of Songs!
Try this:
To reset iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector)
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
If you are still unable to reset your iPod, use only one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Menu button.
When you reset iPod all your music and files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost. Date and time is preserved (unless the iPod reset itself because it had no power and then was reconnected to power). Other customized settings, such as Bookmarks, On-The-Go Playlists, Shuffle, Backlight timer, and so forth are preserved from the last time the hard drive turned on.

Guess that is one solution, just not my first choice.

So you just broke your iPod because it wouldn't transfer all of your songs? Yes, that's a wonderful solution.
Anger management?

First thethe, and now this moron.
Is there any way that we can filter out these idiotic posters before they are allowed to waste our time like this?
# 9 Re: Lost Loads Of Songs!
Hmm, I don't think there is, but an effective method of removal could always the 12 gauge I have in my closet. :)

I like the way you think, Dismal.
# 11 Re: Lost Loads Of Songs!
I don't get why you're so upset with this guy's post.. Sometimes my iPod makes me want to smash it on the floor.

Wanting to do it and actually breaking a $250 piece of equipment are two completely seperate things. Go read thethe's post about his 60GB photo screwing up and you'll know what we're talking about.

Fair enough, but have you actually DONE it? No? Didn't think so. This idiot actually did.
Just my opinion, but if I had my way, you would need at least a working knowledge of how a computer works and is used before you would be allowed to buy and iPod. You would actually have to do a test before you could purchase it. That would get rid of a great deal of the posts on this board.
You would also need to do an English test before being allowed to be a member of any forum, just because I'm kind of a #### and can't stand people who refuse to use proper grammar and spelling on a message board. The only excuse for this is not having English as your first language.
