IPod nano content wiped out when I charged my battery on computer. Any way of retrieving tunes?

IPOd Nano content, including all my tunes, was wiped out after I charged the battery on my computer. Any way of retrieving the content?

Isn't the content that was stored on the Nano still in your iTunes library? If so, simply resync it back over to your device as usual.
If it's no longer in iTunes, you'll need to either redownload the content from the iTunes or rerip this music into iTunes.

Yes it comes with a syncing cable that you can connect to your PC's USB ports to charge or you can connect it to an Apple wall adapater (sold seperately).

Sorry, unless she backup up the new phone before or is using iCloud to save the photos, the photos are gone.

Howdy Lumagofe,
I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
All the very best,
Sterling

IPod classic content wiped out

I've searched endlessly for a previous discussion/solution. I've always had my ipod programmed manually (on Windows and Mac's) as I've never had my own computer (I'm poor and I travel a lot). I haven't figured out how to back it up to my external hard drive. I had been using it with my friends Mac. At some point the songs stopped playing unless it was through iTunes. The content appeared on the iPod screen but nothing would play. Then, catastrophe! Not sure what my friend did (improper ejection?) but all the music content was wiped out entirely. Says "no music" and says "111 GB Free." Also wiped out videos but photos remain. Is the content still hiding somewhere?? Anyway to recover it? Obviously for the future I intend to do do it proper and get a laptop to auto sync and back up and all that good stuff. But I appreciate the help for recovery!!

No advice? Must be bad news.

A virus wiped out everything on my laptop. Is there any way to get my iTunes music library back? I never backed it up. Thanks

A virus wiped out everything on my laptop. I am wondering if there is any way to get my iTunes library back? I didn't back it up with anything. My kids have iPods and between them all, not everything is on them. Or, am I stuck with what is on the iPods? Thanks for any info you can give me.

Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content (note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time). You can also do this from an iOS device.
For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
You'll need to repeat the process for each iTunes Store account through which you purchased anything.
Once you get things back, I highly recommend that you make a backup and keep it current. Content can be removed from the iTunes Store at any time with no warning, which would render it unavailable for redownloading.
Regards.

I updated my software on my ipad, and it wiped out all my calendar entries. Is there a way to retrieve them? My planner is my life and I am feeling totally lost!!!!!

Please Help!! When I updated my Ipad2 it wiped out all of my calendar entries. Is there a way to retrieve them? I have looked in Icloud and itunes and am not finding the calendar there, as it comes on the ipad and is not an app.

Were you syncing calendar events over the air with your iCloud account or syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?
If your planner is your life, not a good idea to depend on one device for your calendar events. They should be available on your computer as well along with the data included with your computer's backup.

HT1689 i have a balance left on an itunes gift card but had to create a new account when i got an iphone- is there any way of retrieving that unused balance?

i have credit left on an itune gift card - that used to just show up wheniturned my computeron- but ihad tocreate a new account wheni got an iphone_ is there anyway toretrive that unused balance?/

You can't transfer gift card credits from one account to another. You'll have to sign in using the old account on your iPhone to use the credit balance. =)

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

See:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

Video iPod Nano doesn't work when plugged in anymore

As of recently, whenever I plug my Video iPod Nano into my Hi-Fi the screen locks up. The music still plays through the Hi-Fi, and I can control the volume via the unit however the screen completely is frozen, and unresponsive to any movement on the clicker. It worked fine before, and this now a recent happening, and I have a feeling the latest update to the iPod Nano knocked it out.

I'm not not sure why this question is flagged as "answered".
I'm experiencing exactly the same behavior. If my nano (3G) is put into my HiFi while in play mode, it will continue playing through the HiFi, but the nano screen will freeze and its controls will become unresponsive. Only the HiFi volume can be controlled via the HiFi top buttons. Ditto for the remote - only the volume controls function (although the HiFi green LED responds to all remote commands as normal).
If the nano is inserted into the HiFi in menu mode, it just remains unresponsive. When taken out of the HiFi dock, it will invariably remain unresponsive for 30-40 seconds, then suddenly light up and return to normal.
In fact, my nano (3G) has always acted this annoying way with our HiFi - which continues to work flawlessly (extra menues and all) with the sundry older iPod models that we own.
Yes, I have tried resetting and restoring the nano (now at firmware version 1.1) and the HiFi no avail.
I'm curious to learn whether anyone has actually gotten a nano (3G) to work properly with a HiFi.
P.S. Great product the HiFi - can't for the good of me figure out why Apple discontinued it... It's truly adding insult to injury if this thing of beauty no longer works properly with the newer iPods.
