so I updated my mac, but still saying it can't find lots of songs.

Today when I retried it also started saying "can't connrect to server 'localhost'" no idea what that is....but it will no longer let me sync ipod!!

I cleaned mac (with clean my mac) also deleted cache and logged in and out of wifi....nothing working.

I even tried a VPN in cse that helped, but nothing so far.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Ouch.

Suspect the root cause of this issue are related to CleanMyMac aka " BrickMyMac "

Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS,  is an invitation for disaster. 

Certain Applications maybe available on the Apple Apps Store - this only means the Developer is prepared to pay Apple a portion on each sale.

What the Application may do to the computer is up to the User to check this out before purchase

Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions 

1 - Disk Cleaner 

This will include CleanMyMac , aka “ BrickMyMac “

Read some of the posting and arrive at your own conclusions.

Specific to CleanMyMac aka “ BrickMyMac “

The steps in #1 below is predicated on the Offending  Application has been Removed as per the Developers Specific Instruction 

# 1 Some Contributors suggest restarting in Recovery Mode and choosing to Reinstall the Operating System over  the existing installation. 

This may or may not replace elements of the Entire Operating System including the Home Folder ( User Account )  and replace any corrupted or removed elements of the Operating System and make thing right.

#2 - Then there are Other Contributors ( like myself ) would suggest  from this link Use Disk Utility to erase a Mac with Apple silicon.

For Intel computer >> Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac followed by How to reinstall macOS

Thereafter to start from scratch and install all Required Application directly from the Apple Apps Store or Directly from the Developer.

If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate things back as this will probably Re-Introduce the existing  issue that existed when the TM Backup was made 

The current stable version of Ventura is 13.4

The current issue may or may not be related to running Ventura 13.1.1

Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support (CA)

What's new in the updates for macOS Ventura - Apple Support (CA)

It may in fact be required

Then have a few suggestions ;

1 - Have the computer evaluated by the Professionals who have the Special Hardware Software and Expertise to diagnose the issue and offer possible solutions

2 - Make an Appointment at the Apple Genius Bar and have them evaluate the computer

Keep us posted, time allowing
