#Music rescue no ipods found update#

But after wasting an evening trying to figure this out, it worked for me and now I have music on my iPod again.Or, you simply want to move your entire iTunes library to a new computer and eliminate the risk of losing everything when you sync with it. This was not a perfect fix b/c I could only select by Artist, not by album or song, which is annoying b/c I have more music in iTunes than I can fit on my iPod, & some of it is by the same artist.

If that’s true for you to, then check the box and, in the menu below, select which artists you want to sync. Go to the ‘Music’ tab in the iPod menu and go to ‘Sync Music.’ When I did this, it was unchecked. Try this: With iPod and computer connected & iTunes open, under ‘Devices’ in the L.H. None of the above fixes worked either, although it is entertaining to read my iPod in French. Tried resetting, and then there was “No Content” at all on my iPod. Suddenly, my iPod stopped syncing music with iTunes. I had upgraded iTunes & updated firmware on my iPod touch. I am only sorry that I am one of the few that had an entire erase, as opposed to an error in display. Other than that, thank you to everyone, especially Griga, for providing answers and helping everyone. Though at least your negligence has at least not threatened health, it has certainly denied me of my right to property. Otherwise you might as well be selling lead toys. If your product is dysfunctional, pull it. It’s against the law, and Apple has no excuse as they cannot plead ignorance here. Not that I will get it, but I never appreciate being robbed. Even if this was indirect, they apparently know of this bug and they have neither truly fixed it, or pulled the iOS update. The information is simply NOT “hidden.”Īpple has effectively robbed money, time, and energy from me with this iOS update. But the fact is it erased my iPod touch, down to everything stored on it. Technically, a lawsuit could be done for damages, could it not? Not that it is worth it to me to buy a lawyer, nor can I afford one even for small-claims court.

Long story short, no amount of switch in language settings will bring back the content because Apple’s update robbed me of my property. But I hope I never have to go through this again!Īnd no, switching it from English to French, then English to Portuguese, then English to Italian, then English to German did not work. Had I known this tip in advance I would have tried it. I never had so many problems with this company as I’ve had in the 12mos since SJ passed. I just uncheked the sync in music, hit the sync button to truly remove the music then recheck the box and sync again. I try syncing, the summary bar moves up and at the end drops down? wtf? And oddly, Itunes shows my Ipod having all my music, the sync box is checked as well as playlists I sync daily. Since I hadn’t made any changes, I chose no or cancel (can’t quite recall the wording). The odd thing was, right before this occured, in iTunes a message popped up stating something like ‘”settings changed on *ipod touch name* would you like to sync” I’m now resyncing over 4000 songs because I too got the no content thing. Really EF’n disappointed that this is the 3rd time this has happened to my ipod touch 4th gen since the release of ios6. Hat tip to TechCrunch for finding the sync solution. This is an interesting bug and it certainly isn’t effecting everyone who updates to iOS 4.2.1, there doesn’t seem to be any particular iPhone or iPod touch that is effected either. If your music and media library have not reappeared then try the process again, it should work.

Launch the iPod app, your music should appear.

Select Music and start playing a song from iTunes.

Disconnect your iPhone or iPod from your computer and then reconnect it again.

Here’s the original fix for the “No Content” bug: what you do to make your music and media content reappear:

Thank you to Griga for the iOS based solution! No syncing required with this method. Your music has returned, navigate back to Language settings and revert back to English (or your default).Relaunch the iPod app and wait for the iPod library to update.Change your Language to another option, for example if your default is English, change it to Francais.Tap on “Settings” and then on “General” and then on “International”.
