although I don't understand half of what you said.. but I'm guessing your getting a no content problem..and at the moment their isn't any real permanent solution to this...what I've had to do is de-sync all my apps, reboot phone, and then you will see that the songs will appear again. and then re-sync your apps to your device. I've already had to do this processes twice and it's worked..but really there isn't any permanent solution to this problem yet.

deauthorize your iTunes account from your computer and then reautorize it. Then try syncing.

Deauthorizing doesn't help. There is one proven solution that is widely accepted, but it's a PAIN IN THE ***. I did it, and it worked great.
1. Close iTunes. Fine the iTunes folder in My Pictures. Rename it to something else such as "iTunes Backup".
2. Find a place to download iTunes 7.7, or, to be more specific, 7.7.0.43. While that's downloading, uninstall your current version of iTunes (if you just try using the install wizard, it gives you an error message because you have a more recent version).
3. Use the install wizard and make sure that the content folder is set as what it was before you renamed it.
3. After it's installed, BEFORE STARTING ITUNES, rename the iTunes folder you renamed earlier to its original name.
4. Start iTunes. It should have your whole library if you did it right.
5. Go to the Settings app on your ipod/iphone. Navigate to General>Reset, and select Erase All Content And Settings. You will get the Apple logo and a progress bar below it. This part took me 3 or 4 hours, so I reccomend doing it while it's charging, then going to sleep, going out, watching a movie, etc.
6. (Optional) Restore your ipod/iphone to your preferred firmware version (2.0.2 works great) using iTunes. (Since you reset content and settings, I'm not sure if this is needed, but you can if you want to be extra safe)
7. Jailbreak and Sync your ipod/iphone; doesn't matter which comes first.
You're done.
Note: On a Mac, there are some files you have to delete before you uninstall, but I'm a PC guy and don't know what those are. I can look that up later and post back here if anybody wants.

If that works, great.
But I have a much easier suggestion if you don't wanna try all of that. Simply SSH in and delete the iTunes_Control folder.If you like or found helpful anything I have said, please click that nice little Thanks button!
