New itunes wiped ipod of all music

Okay, so... I got a new computer, which has the new iTunes. So I just wanted to add some music to my ipod, EXCEPT when I plugged it in, ALL SEEMED fine with it, I had my music on there (I even made sure my preferences said, Prevent iPods and other devices from automatically syncing.) So, I add some new music onto my ipod and ALL OF A SUDDEN, after I disconnect and unplug it from my computer, my iPod MAGICALLY has NOTHING ON IT. Everything is gone. What the F***? Anyone else have this problem?

See the first section of Corrupt iPod classic. If the media files aren't visible in the hidden folders then it may still be possible to use an unerase/undelete or other file recovery tool.

  • New iTunes doesn't see all music in iTunes folder

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 9.1.1.12. Since the upgrade, I notice that it only shows a portion of the files in the iTunes folder.
    I can see them when I open the folder in Windows Explorer.
    I haven't/don't receive an error message.
    How can I correct this?

    From Germany with not perfect English:
    I had similar problem. Files that were not transferred had either no file-ending (.tif and .jpg-files without these endings are not synct) or a wrong ending (.pdf for example).
    And the Apple-Hotline told me, a next iPod-software-update would allow a better sorting photos on the iPod. (Actually you can not use folders in folders, and all Photoes are sorted by date; a little help may be a count-number at the beginning of the file-name: 01.... 02.... 03... This helps, however it is not a good work for so many photos as you have.)

    thanks for the reply.  guess i'll have to do that.  apple, not really happy with what you've done with this latest update.  have not been able to enjoy my music in my car since the update.  most of us dont mind changes that progress timely, but this was much more than just a progression.  this was a complete change.  and not a good one, at all.  thanks to the two people that replied.  appreciate it.

  • Why is the new itunes not picking up my music  it shows them and yet says it can not find them

    why is the new itunes not picking up my music  it shows them and yet says it can not find them

    the ipod forum is very good entertainment. i remember reading it last christmas day. lots of folk blaming apple for ruining their families christmas by intentionally providing ipods that didn't work. i knew apple was pretty big i didn't know it could ruin so many xmas celebrations.

  • I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one. 
    On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
    What am I doing wrong?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • How do I switch my 6th generation over to my new iTunes account and put all my songs from my iPhone onto it?

    How do I switch my 6th generation over to my new iTunes account and put all my songs from my iPhone onto it?

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

    I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
    Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • How do I sync my old ipod to my "new" iTunes library without losing the music I already have loaded onto my iPod?

    Hi, so I got my new computer loaded up with iTunes and I want to be able to move my music from my old iPod to my new iTunes library without losing any of the music I already have placed on the iPod. How would I do this? And please I'm not too savvy with the new iTunes layout and such so if you could make this easy in layman's terms that would be great.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased all songs in the iTunes Store, plug your iPod to your Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to transfer purchases.
    If you didn't purchase any song or you have non-purchased songs from the iTunes Store, you have to use an application to transfer the songs to iTunes. Here is a list of applications you can use for that > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

  • ITunes does not sync all music on 4s with new MAC

    My daughter has an iPhone 4s that was sync-ed with her Windows PC. She recently got a new Macbook Pro. We added all her music to the new MAC and then tried to sync via "sync all checked songs" and iTunes is missing many songs. We then tried to sync by selecting artists and such and let it wipe all music. Once it was wiped we tried to sync fresh again and it still missed many songs. It sync partial albums. She is able to drag and drop manually to correct the missed songs, but would prefer to fix this so she can sync normally in the future. What can we do to get this fixed? I really dont want to do a restore and start from scratch...
    Thanks

    I´ve tried every possible solution listed, those that have worked for others...nothing has worked. My library has about 2777 songs of which at first only 1370 loaded. After syncing w/o music, which deleted all music from my iPhone, I then selected Sync Music again and synced...well this time only 391 songs were added!!! It skipped the other 1400 I already had in! I´ve come to notice that these 391 songs are the ones purchased directly on the iTunes Store, but previously I had ALL my CD´s ripped and loaded to my iPhone.
    I don´t know if this has something to do with the new iTunes version, but please, please, someone give me some light! I don´t want to go and convert all 2400 songs from MP3 to AAC..!! It´s not practical!
    Thanks in advance for your comments.

  • Moved Library to new computer - can't access all music on IPOD

    Hi,
    I apologize in advance if this exact issue has already been discussed.
    I recently migrated all my data to a new laptop. I was successful in moving my music files over and re-installing the IPOD/I-Tunes software. Now, only 50% of my Music Library will download to my IPOD. The music that won't come across is mostly stuff that I purchased via I-Tunes.
    What should I do?
    thanks!

    Have you played each track at least once within iTunes before you try and load the track to your iPod? If you haven't played the tracks once, try doing that and then see if they'll load; they may not be correctly authorized.
    Hope this helps.

  • Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What do i do?

    I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What can I do?

    I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.

  • ITunes just del-synced all music on IPod :(

    Due to the fact that I use another program to put music on my Ipod (Anapod Explorer) I am not using Itunes to manage my mp3 collection on the Ipod. However, I think Itunes is very suitable to manage my pod/vodcasts. I just synced my movies and podcasts > and Itunes just deleted all music while the checkbox for "Synchronise music" was (and still is) unchecked.. Sigh... All my music is gone... Thanks Itunes..
    IPod Video U2 edition   Windows XP   ITunes 7.0.2.16

    Can you still play the Music which is not sync?
    it could be that you put it in another folder so itunes can't find it an because of this can't sync it.

  • Old iTunes deleted, new iTunes doesn't have all of my music, can I copy music from my iPhone to iTunes without syncing

    Help, computer returned from being fixed, everything has been deleted. Can you import music from iPhone 4 into new iTunes (old iTunes deleted) without syncing phone.

    My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files.  I have not had to reinstall iTunes software.  The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music.  I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
    I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
    The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
    Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

  • New itunes how to sync all my apps from my ipod

    my have a new computer because my old one broke and i need to sync all my apps from my ipod touch to my new itunes library. how can i done so?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - The connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Then restore the iPod for that backup.
    This will retain your app data.
