After restoring my iPod a lot of the music is gone.

Today my iPod froze, wouldn't respond to anything I did. I had to restore it so I backed it up first. After restoring it, I loaded the backed up data onto the iPod but a lot of music that was on my iPod was gone. I didn't have the music on my computer, is it gone for good. I really need that music. Please help.

You should back up your music to an external drive/dvd/flash drive/etc.
Your ipod back up on itunes does not include your music, as it is designed to be synced with your computer - the music should be on the computer.

If you did not back it up, it is likely gone.

After syncing my Ipod 4th gen all the music disapears?

After syncing my Ipod Touch 4th gen all the music just disapears can anyone help?

Just make sure that the 'Sync Music' box is checkmarked in the Music tab in iTunes!

I just restored my iPod Touch and all the music is grayed out! Why? and how do I restore it?

We had an iPod Touch stolen recently but were fortunate enough to recover it! Locator DOES work. We are trying to restore setting but all the restored music it grayed out! I can't figure out why or how to restore it. Any suggestions?

That happens sometimes:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

After restoring my ipod touch multiple times it still goes to the connect to itunes screen, freezes then goes to a white screen

Ok so i have restored my iPod touch multiple times the restore is "successful" my iPod touch 2g goes to the connect to iTunes screen then it just freezes. After about one minute it goes to a white screen until it dies. Any ideas?

If it does it after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then yo have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I found my old classic ipod after 5 years and I wanted all the music from it , and it ended up restoring it and everything is now gone :( is there anyway I can get them back ??

I found my old classic ipod after 5 years and I wanted all the music from it , and I plugged it onto my computer and it ended up deleting everything how can or can I retreve them ?

The Restore erases the iPod's hard drive, so the song files are gone.
It is like an external hard drive (if you set the iPod to Enable disk use), so standard data recovery utilities may (?) allow you to recover erased data, like you might from a regular external hard drive.

I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

There's no music in my device (ipod touch) after restoring content because of a software issue. music is available in my laptop's cloud though. how do i restore music in my device?

there's no music in my device (ipod touch) after restoring content because of a software issue. music is available in my laptop's cloud though. how do i restore music in my device?

hi! an error message showed on my device last week and Apple support helped me restore the software on my device. Syncing went well and all my apps were available after. However, when I looked at my music in my device, it did not contain anything. The songs were in Itunes on my laptop and when I tried to play them they did not play. But, it says music is available for my account in the cloud. When I switched to the cloud, I was able to play my music already. But everytime I synced, the music from the cloud are not transferred to my device. Most of the music that I have are from other sources. How do I download those again to my device? I tried what I did before which was to copy the song from my laptop then edit paste it to iTunes but this did not work like before when automatically it becomes available on my device.
pls help. thanks!

After restoring my ipod, nothing shows up when I sync it back up.

After restoring my ipod, nothing shows up when I sync it back up - why?

Have you double checked to make sure content is still configured to sync to your iPod via its Music, Podcasts,Photos, etc., configuration tabs in iTunes?
To access these tabs, plug your iPod in and select it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. Over to the right should be multiple tabs for the different kinds of content you can sync to the Nano. See this article for more information and assistance.
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Make sure that you also don't have the Manually manage music option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab if you want your iPod to sync with iTunes instead manually adding and removing content from the device.

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting some of them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

HT1339 how do i restore my ipod if i forgot the passcode (ipod touch 4th gen.)

how can i restore my ipod if i forgot the passcode

If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
Follow the instructions for putting the device in recovery mode > iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

I bought a lot at an auction and it contained an ipod shuffle. I'm not sure what gen it is. I plugged in headphones and really like a lot of the music. Much of it is live recordings of DC gogo music which I'm a fan of. Is there a way Can I back it up? Thx

I bought a lot at an auction in Crumpton Maryland and a dresser drawer contained an ipod shuffle. I'm not sure what gen it is. I plugged in headphones and really like a lot of the music. Much of it is live recordings of DC gogo music which I'm a fan of. Is there a way Can I back it up? When I plug it into my macbook pro the songs are all in grey tone (not bold). I tried looking thru options but can't seem to figure anything out that works.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

If the music that is currently on the iPod is not your music, it would be inappropriate to discuss how to transfer it to your computer in Apple's discussion forum.

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?
