Q: Recently did a sync (laptop and ipad)... now many ipad songs seem to be corrupted- are greyed out with a red circle to the right. can't do anything except delete em.  Afraid to re-sync-- have lost about 40 songs so far.

I am not at all sure what happened... Windows 7 and IPAD 2.  Never had a problem before.  Now if I try to select a specific song to play (under songs as my selection / defining criteria) I can't-- ipad will grey it out.  It does however, happen to other songs listed as well.  Have lost about 40 of my 275 songs so far this week, and have only used the music setting 3 times.  Originally it was only files I converted that were originally in the Windows media format and converted 2 years ago when I got the IPAD, but it is now happening to songs I bought on Itunes. 

 

I am afraid to re-sync with my laptop as I don't want to lose my songs from there or corrupt my laptop as well....

 

Sadly I am  not that well versed in this stuff, but have been able to get along fine with syncing thus far (2 years).

 

Help!! 

iPad 2
