30GB ipod erased all my music and videos

I was trying to load some videos to my 30GB ipod classic but what happend is that it started to erased all my music & videos. Can I get them all back if they are not in my Library?

If you autosync this iPod, and the music/video was not on the library you connected to, this is why it erased the information from your iPod. There is no way to retrieve it.
P.S. There is no 30 GB iPod Classic. Do you perhaps have a 5th generation iPod?

Re- sync the phone with the computer it was originally synced with.

My parent's IPad is SUPER outdated and I'm trying to buy an app for my brother for Christmas.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?

i have already try the copy/paste thing with the ID of the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" it didn't change a thing. each time I relaunched Itunes, the ID is the first I have in the MAC.
I have more than 5 000 files of music. I don't want to recreate one by one all my playlits.
Many thnaks for your answers.

You can sync iphone with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer. There is no way around this.
Put everything on one computer and sync from there.
BTW, you posted in the Home Share forum. Your question seems to have nothing to do with home share.

Why does a ringtone sync want to remove all my music and video

I downloaed an app to make a ringtone from my music on my iphone 4
I made the ringtone and got it onto the desktop of my laptop then into the itunes ringtones folder but if i try to then sync it onto the iphone i am prompted that it will remove all the music and video from the iphone.
What setting do i have here that won't allow me to add a ringtone sync without clearing my iphone?
If its not a setting how do i get around it?

Thanks very much
I've just realised what a nugget I've been for not just trying that last night.
I drag and drop all my music and video so why not drag and drop this also.
I would be merciless in my teasing of someone for this very thing so feel free to give it to me loads.

You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
- Make this your syncing computer by:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
- Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

When i plug my ipod up, itunes says it has all the music and videos, but when i unplug it to listen to them, it says it has nothing on it

I just had to reover my Ipod original and now im moving all of my music and videos back onto it, and when i have it plugged into Itunes, everything shows up on the ipod. when i unplug it though, it says i have no videos, music, etc. help? I don't want to lose this thing, it was too expensive.

Hello kittypie,
You may need to restore your iPod to factory defaults.

Delete content, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?

iPod deletes all music and videos, I synced it with iTunes, but after some time it deletes again.

To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

My ipod is not syncing music and videos

my ipod is not syncing music and videos

mine did that to so i restored it and it fixed it now i have music and videos on my ipod, but keep in mind restoring it will erase everything on it so make sure everything is synced to the computer hope that helps:):)

Help: iTunes wants to delete all my music and videos off of my iPhone!

I usually keep the option to manually manage music and videos on my iPhone. I only use 1 pc to transfer music and movies to and from my iPhone. Recently for some reason when I launched iTunes, an error message kept poping up repeatedly saying "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved." I fixed the error message by adjusting the user access privileges to my music folder.
Now my music library is completely empty in iTunes, but that shouldn't be a problem because I manually manage my music and videos. However, when I checked the iPhone page in iTunes, the checkbox for manually manage music and videos is unchecked.
So I went to go check the check box so that I can continue to add some more music and videos to my iPhone, however a message box pops up saying:
"The iPhone "my iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
I have about 12 gigs worth of music and videos which I have carefully hand picked over a period of about 3 months and now iTunes wants to delete all of it because it thinks I want to "sync with another library". I only hope someone can understand how frustrating this is for me. All I want to do is continue to be able to add music and videos to my iPhone without having to erase months worth of work putting the current music I have on there. Can anyone help me?

Thanks for your reply. I don't keep all of my music in the iTunes' designated music folder. I don't like the way iTunes reorganizes my songs and I keep all my music in my own self organized music folders as I don't use iTunes as my primary media application. Not to mention allot of my files come from all different corners of my computer's hard drive. It would literally take months to go through over 20 gigs of media files to pick out the songs I have in my iPhone library to rebuild an iTunes library. Like i said, I don't even use iTunes other than to transfer files to my iPhone. I thought the purpose of manually managing the files was so you don't have to sync it with the iTunes library but now it won't give my that option without requiring me to delete everything on my phone I worked so hard on.
What I don't understand is logically or technically why iTunes HAS to delete all the content off of my iphone. Who's decision in the Apple's software engineering department was to require the one's iPhone to be erased if someone loses their iTunes library? Its frustrating because it makes no sense and I feel as if the software is punishing me for reasons I don't understand by threatening to delete all my content off my phone. Is there absolutely no way to transfer my music to my iPhone without deleting everything currently on and completely rebuilding my music library from scratch?

I sync my purchase from store to ipod now all my music and games are gone why did this happen and how doi get them back?

i sync my purchases to my ipod now all my music is gone and my games are gone too how can i get them back?

You most likely synced your iPod to a different iTunes then you previously synced it with. You won't be able to get all of your music back unfortunately unless you had it backed up.
Sorry!

How Do I Include all my Music and Videos?

I use a mid 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks; iTunes 12.1.2.27. I have some of my music and videos on iTunes; I have other music and videos playing on VLC; and I some videos on some other player. How can I play all my videos and all my music on iTunes?

Drag the media files to the library in the open iTunes application window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. Some file types won't play in iTunes natively; if you need to convert them, use a product such as MPEG Streamclip.
