All files deleted off iPod...

Ok so i got an 80GB iPod and I spent about two hours or so loading all the music on the device. I got new Cd's and i put them in the itunes library. Now i ended up unchecking all of the other Cd's to put just the new ones on instead of waiting for all the cds to load again. what ended up happening is that all the files got deleted off my iPod. Do i just have to leave them all checked in iTunes? Any help would be great...
iPod 80GB   Windows XP  

I tried that
and updating
now all I get on my ipod is a folder with the exclamation mark on it... which im guessing means something is now missing off my ipod software wise.
iPod doesnt even initialize in iTunes anymore
I guess that means its time to take it back :/
I still get the autoplay box when i plug this in. shrug
When I go to restore I get a firmware error
and it wont let me update at all.

  • Music randomly deleted off iPod

    So my computer that I used primarily got stolen so I'm using my old computer that barely has any music on it. I set my ipod up to use it on my old computer and selected it for manual everything so nothing would get deleted. I went to sync a couple new songs and manually synced them. In turn, almost everything got erased. In iTunes, on the iPod menu, it says everything is still there but it's not showing up on my iPod. I'm freaking out because there was like 7000+ songs on iPod and now I'm down to about 200 or so actually on my iPod and don't know what to do!!!!!
    Help please!!!! Has anyone else encountered this? How do I fix it? Is there any way I can get them back?
    It's not like I can just sync my iPod with iTunes. I'll lose a lot of music.

  • Computer crashed?  will all be lost off ipod...

    If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
    If you want to try and retrieve the songs from your iPod there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    There are also a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Some but not all of them will retrieve videos as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

    As long as all of the songs are in iTunes, you will be fine. You can restore the iPod, then reload everything from iTunes...

  • All my songs got deleted off ipod touch 4g and are not syncing back. How do I fix this?

    READ THE WHOLE THING. I went to download a Taylor Swift CD to my ipod. I imported it like usual then hit sync. It didnt work. I tried importing it again and syncing it didnt work. So in the top menu where it says music, summary, ipod etc, I clicked on music. The box where it said sync songs was not checked so I checked it a pop up came up so I hit ok. Needless to say all my songs EXCEPT the Taylor Swift ones are not on my ipod! I have tried everthing to get the songs back.  The funny thing is when I go to library all my songs are in it but when I g to songs it only says there 16... Please reply to this question... I wont my songs back...

  • Acrhived files copied off ipod have CRC errors

    Hey Everyone,
    Looked everywhere for someone else having this problem, but cant seem to find it.
    Basically I use my ipod to transport large files between work and home as well as music listening (duh)
    Anyway, these files are normally sent as compressed archives (mostly .rar). When I go to unpack them after copying them off the ipod they have crc errors, so the files in the archive are stuffed.
    Now, IT IS DEFINITELY THE IPOD CAUSING THIS. please dont give any advice that makes you think its the pc causing it. because it's not.
    I have tried copying files off/on the ipod from many pcs, and they all get the CRC problems. Ive also updated the ipods firmware, and done factory reset to wipe it totally clear.
    Ive tried other archiving/packing the files on different pcs and using different archiving formats.
    Oh, also, I can seem to move small files(under 100MB) off/on with no problems, and it plays music/video without any problems at all.
    Anyone have any suggestions for why this might be happening?
    (please dont accuse me of piracy, I work with large digital media, and yes, I do it on a PC too).

    Here is an article stating that a windows formatted ipod has a file size limit of 4gb, because of the FAT32 file system. Could that be your problem?

  • All CDs deleted from iPod but still in iTunes library. help?

    So i imported some more CDs to my iTunes and it wouldn't let me drag and drop it to sync. Nothing happened whenever i did that. I ended up pressing sync and it deleted all of my CDs from my iPod 5th generation. they're still in my library, but I have no clue how to get them back on my iPod. i keep dragging them and dropping them but nothing is happening. I also restored a backup, but it was still the same. I'm getting frustrated because the CDs account for most of my music on my iPod. Any help would be much appreciated!

  • All songs deleted on iPod mini but they are all still on iTunes

  • All files on new iPod are grayed out when connected and viewed in iTune 7.6

    I just bought a new 80GB iPod classic. I have been able to get everything loaded and it works fine (I have to get used to the new interface but that's OK). What is odd is that when I click on "music" on the now fully loaded iPod contents list of some 1,500 songs, all of then a grayed out and I cannot do any sort of renaming/re-arranging/deletion whatsoever. No doubt this is a simple setting that I am just not hip to. It did ask me to update to iPod software 1.1.1 when I put it in and I did.
    Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    Theo

    Sounds like your iPod is in auto-sync mode, which greys out the contents and won't let you change things. That's normal since you're expected to make such changes to your iTunes library and re-sync your iPod to capture the changes.
    If you want to manage the contents directly on the iPod, you need to select the option "Manually manage music and video", found on the general iPod summary when you connect to iTunes.

  • I-tunes copying all files each time ipod is connected

    These are my current settings for sync ( checked) :
    Sync only checked songs and videos
    Enable disk use
    Now, each time I connect ipod, the disk is getting cleared and ipod again copies all the songs right from scratch. Just imagine this going on for 50 Gb+ data, each time I connect my ipod.
    Am I doing anything wrong here?

    A reset won't delete data from the ipod.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    A restore will completely blank everything. Since itune's copying everything over each time you sync, though, I assumed all your content was safe on the PC, so restoring (wiping the ipod clean to factory settings) wouldn't "lose" anything.

  • Content deleted off ipod

    i plugged my ipod into the computer, and it deleted all my content ( i didnt know that at the time - i wasnt paying attention). now when i plug it in again, i only have my photos, and 3 gigs of what it calls "other". i have no idea what this "other" could be. now i cant redownload my music.

    Hi,
    That much "other" is usually corrupt data, to fix it you need to restore and resynch.
    Good luck,
