All my music dissappeared, I am not a dumb or non technical person, read me

I have been using my Ipod 40gb for over a year with no problems. THe only thing I did out of the ordinary was set up my Grandparents Ipod photo and load a bunch of cds on it that they wanted to listen too this past week. I go to plug in my own ipod tonight and all the music is gone and the drive says 37.11gb free, I had over 20gb of songs on the ipod and it is set to manual management. Not a terrible loss for me, I can reload all the music and retag the tracks I fixed in the ipod over the last year. But *** would cause this considering I did not update it or format it or change anything? I was planning on adding a new album which I just added to my now empty Ipod. I am also curious if I have to worry about this happening again?
I know no one else had access to it or altered it in any way. It was just on my charger on the desk like always when I am not using it. Very confusing that all my music would just randomly dissappear with the ipod showing no sign of malfunction.

Have your tried to do a Reset?

My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available. they appear to be lost.

my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available. I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth. I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not. So what do I use so that when i lose data on my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

My laptop died, how do I access the music I downloaded on there? I'm not sure that sharing was set up on it. Is there a way to recover all that music? (I'm not very technically savvy!)

check out this post by Zevoneer.

I have spent probably a few hundred dollars on movies, music and apps on itunes. I have only ever downloaded this on my iPhone. I plugged my iphone into a laptop and now all my music and videos are not showing up on available downloads. WHAT DO I DO?!

All of my music is gone. I have no idea how to get it back and Im worried because it isnt showing up on available downloads.

Isn't iTunes 10.5 r 9 a beta release for developers? If that's the case then isn't there a special web site for developers to discuss issues (and they are not supposed to discuss them on the public forum)? If you're not a developer and have this through unofficial channels then I'm not sure you can expect full functionality.

I recently downloaded the latest update for my Ipod Touch and now all the music I had downloaded (not from Itunes)....can I restore those songs now that there were 350 of them and they are gone? Thanks

I recently downloaded the latest update for my Ipod touch. When I finished all the music that was downloaded to it was gone. I really need help from any one that knows how to restore music - not bought from Itunes - to my Ipod touch. Thank you very much

Per Rysz' suggestion, configure accordingly:

I upgraded to iOS 5 and everything deleted. I went to iTunes, went to the Purchased tab, and got all my music back. But not my movies.

I upgraded to iOS 5 and all the music had gone. But when I went on to iTunes, onto the 'Purchased' tab, I got all the music back from iCloud. But my movie wasn't listed. It was 'Paul' and it cost £10. When I look it up on iTunes, if I want it back it says I have to pay £10 again!!!! I am currently talking to Apple Live Chat Support and she is saying to write this up. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is correct.
You only get one download of movies. It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
Did you fail to transfer your movie to your computer before updating?

HT1386 All of music from iTunes is not loading on my new iPad when I sync What am I doing wrong?

All of my music is not loading on my iPad when I attempt to sync? What am I doing wrong?

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you need to get them from where you got them before.

HT1751 I foolishly tried to set up two libraries for two diff. ipods. Now my original library is changed and all the music I purchased is not listing.   In purchased I see 906 songs - but I cannot get them to show up as a list - is there help out there?

I tried to set up two libaries so my two ipods could sync different kinds of music. This wiped out my original Itunes - I have been trying to get it back to the way it was. I have is backed up on Simple Save but do not want to plug that aback in since I am afraid it will then take up the new situation instead of allowing me to put the data on simple save back to the computer for Itunes.   I want to show my 908 songs that I have purchased and I cannot seem to do this... It shows in purchased= as 0-8 - but I cannot get them to list.   What am I doing wrong. I know I should have left it alone and never attempted something I know nothing about~ Thanks

Bought a new computer, transferred all my music. Itunes will not let me sync my ipod because it says I have 2 computers.

I purchased a new computer and transferred all my itunes music by copying the music and transferring to new computer. When I try to sync my ipod, itunes
says that I already have another computer. The other computer no longer exists. How do I rid the identity of the old computer?

If the Erase and Sync option does appear when this prompt comes up, restore the Nano to factory settings and then resync all your content back over to it from your new iTunes library. This process will allow the iPod to associate itself with the new library.

My itunes match subscription will be expiring soon. Will I lose all my music, as they are threatening, if I choose not to subscribe again?

My itunes match subscription will be expiring soon. Will I lose all my music if I choose not to subscribe again?

Hi,
If all your music is in your itunes library on your computer, you will not lose that music.
If you do not have the music on your computer and stream the music you will lose all your music except for previous itunes purchases. Likewise you will no longer have access to match music.

Ovi Music Sync - do NOT sync all "My Music" folder...

I am using Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 with my Nokia X6. After installing, I wanted to select a Music folder to by sync'ed with my X6, and I do NOT want to sync all files from Windows "My Music" folder.
Under "Sync Option" / Music I can add a folder to be sync'ed.
But pleeeeaaase - How can I disable automatic synchronization of all "My Music" files????
The only choice I have is to say "do only sync the following playlists" - but I want to say "do only sync the following FOLDER...
Any ideas? Is this not possible??
Thanks, Martin

I removed the "my music" folder, but still I have all songs from this folder in OVI Music.
I want to completely get rid of all indexed music, and only have OVI watch a specific folder...
