Every time I try to download songs to my IPod, I get this error message:

“ITunes cannot add any more songs to IPod 'Owner’s IPod because it already contains all the songs in your ITunes library.”

What happened?

_Does_ it already contain all the songs in your iTunes library?

Does your iTunes library on your computer look normal?

Have you tried resetting the iPod?

The IPod is completely blank, the Library looks normal, and I’ve restored the IPod several times.

Yesterday, I almost accidentally deleted my Music library; when it gave me a choice between moving it to the Recycle Bin and moving it to the Media Folder, I chose the latter. Now it looks like my Library might be in ICloud.
