All my songs and videos gone after app transfer to my laptop (iOS 5.0)

All my songs (about 1800 songs/12GB) and videos (10gb) have disappeared while two of my apps, Asphalt 6 and Real Racing 2 were being transferred from my iPod to my laptop. I guess they were being transferred since they have been updated and I haven't synced my ipod into my laptop for a while. But today while it was trasferring, it said that I'm running out of storage continuously and later on I saw that the transfer was done, but my songs and videos were gone! And my last backup was like when the iOS first came out, so it would mean nothing to restore from backup right now.
I can see all of the songs and videos that were on the iPod still on iTunes, but when i click on them, it shows the exclamation mark which means that they have been disappeared or something... Any help please?

The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes or files of any kind you've added to the iPod whilst using it as a hard disk or album artwork. Or sometimes when the iPod data base has become corrupt.
There will always be a few MBs of used space under "other" but if it's in GBs it's unusually large. This often happens when the iPod data base becomes corrupt.
If the iPod is enabled for disk use, you can look at the folders on the iPod through Explorer or Finder (on a Mac) and delete anything you don't want.
If it's a corruption of the iPod database (as seems likely here) it will probably need to be restored, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.
Then reload the music from iTunes.

You can't do this yourself; if desired, you can ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it, but they probably won't.

Pix and Videos gone after update - need help please.

Hi all,
I upgraded to the new OS2 and loved it... no problems there. When I tried to connect and pull pictures off via my PC, I got a message Blackberry Desktop software could not connect. I tried it multiple times after restarting the Playbook but would not connect. It connected and advised I needed to upgrade my software which I did, but when I started the Playbook after the install it was like it was brandnew out of the box. Had to go through the tutorial and then I was shocked to find all my pictures and videos were gone. I don'r care about the videos but had some really important (to me at least) pictures I wanted off of it.
Sooooo.... any chance of recovering those or does the updates just "Blow" everything away? I will never use my Playbook to take any pictures or video of anything again and guess I learned a painful lesson.
Thanks for ANY input you might be able to provide.

Same thing happened to me. RIM <Inappropriate Content Removed>
this one up.

Plug your iPod into your computer and resync your songs back on.

Songs and video gone from 5G iPod, games and photos remain

I hook my iPod up to two computers regularly, at home and at work. Because of this, I don't do any auto-synching. Last night, I disconnected my iPod from my home computer without trouble. When I connected it to my iMac at work, however, the songs and videos disappeared. iTunes asked me to name and synch up the iPod, which it never has before.
The songs are still there, apparently, as the capacity indicator shows 8.3GB of "Other" space being used along with the 31.6MB of Photos that I can actually see. There is no indication of Game space used, although I do have one game on there that I can play.
Resetting the iPod doesn't work. I don't want to try a restore, because I'd rather not have to upload all the content from my home computer to the iPod again, losing all of my Star and Audio Level settings, which I only control on the iPod. Anyone know how I can convince the iPod that Other is actually Music and Videos?

Sounds like the directory holding the music has been erased. Odd that it still had some photos. An undelete/unformat software might be able to rebuild most of your files from "free" sections of the disc that haven't yet had anything new written into them. If you can recover the files to the point that they are taking up space on the iPod's drive (or they can be copied to another drive) there are other posts that help with rebuilding them into a library.
There probably are some suitable free tools out there if you can wade through all the "free" recovery tools that are only free up until the point of any actual recovery.... Otherwise shell out a little cash or wait until you can be reunited with your backup.

All bought titles and albums gone after upgrading I Tunes

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Can't get all purchased songs and videos to transfer to new ipod

I just had to trade in my year-old 80 GB Video ipod for a 'new' one due to battery failure. Erg. After syncing (sp?) my itunes library to the new device I noticed that not everything transferred and it still won't transfer when I try to do it individually. For example I have all 3 seasons of Lost and random episodes did not get transferred to the ipod. When I tried to transfer the missing tracks from my itunes library to the ipod IT WON'T LET ME!!! help.

AHA! I went into my ipod settings in my itunes account and just had to change the setting to 'transfer all episodes'. Duh. For some reason the default was set to 'all unwatched tv shows' which is weird b/c they've all been watched. A LOT! But hooray! It's fixed now

i have just purchased my new ipad and I want to transfer my iPod library of music and videos to the iPad,how do I do this easily,seems to be a basic neccessity

Is your iPod synced with an iTunes library on your Mac or PC?
If so, is your iPad also synced to the same Mac/PC?
iTunes allows you to share music and videos between both your iPod and your iPad.

Photos and videos gone after ios5 update

After updating to ios 5 and doing a restore from my backup all my videos and photos that I took using the ipad are gone from my ipad. I did a full backup before starting the new update so I expected they would be there. Maybe I'm missing something.

I found this and did it myself and it worked perfectly!

Songs and videos all disappear after sync

Since updating to the new OS, sometimes when I sync my iPod touch, all the music and videos disappear. I then have to restore and it take a long time as I have a 64GB touch and LOTS of music. It's irritating to go to listen to some music and the entire library is missing. Just started with the new OS. Any suggestions?

Mine just had this problem. I read one of the other discussions and they said it was most likely caused by Genius. Either way, I just added a song to my iPod that wasn't already on there and ta da! All music and vids were back!

1st Gen iPhone - ALL songs and videos no longer there. POOF! No sync.

I have not listened to music or watched videos on my 1st gen iPhone in about 2 months. Little did I know, ALL the songs and ALL the videos have disappeared. Gone Poof. I have not synced in a couple of months so it wasn't a result of a new OS. Maybe it's just getting old but has this happened to anyone else? I don't know where they went or when it happened. Gremlins? I am now afraid to reload/sync for fear I will lose pix and contacts. Just want to know if this spontaneously happened to anyone else???

Hey Larry,
I went ahead and did a "restore" and everything was back to normal. It did take a while, though, as it wiped out then re-copied over 7Gigs of data to the phone. It was a hassle, but all is OK. I'm still concerned, though. I also spoke with a Genius at the Apple store who had never seen this, and thought it was a problem with the "file type" in iTunes, but i checked and movies were still "movie" filetype. He suggested MANUALLY checking/adjusting every file, but that is rediculous and there were hundreds of songs and videos!! Anywho, on my iPhone the date outside of the iPod items (music, videos, podcasts, etc.) was not effected, and all is back to normal after a lengthy "restore." Still looking for a "why" on this one...

My parent's IPad is SUPER outdated and I'm trying to buy an app for my brother for Christmas. However, the computer that was connected to the IPAD, we no longer have. So is there any way I can update it on my mac without erasing all the photos and videos?
