All my tunes lost when iTunes 10 installed

When I installed iTunes 10 a couple of months ago, all the music on my iPhone 3GS disappeared. Previously the tunes were available on the phone (along with podcasts) in what looked like an iPod app (originally all the music was on an iPod). After the new OS was installed, the iPod app disappeared and all the music and podcasts with it. Instead there is an app called Music, but it's empty - and when I try to sync nothing happens. Can anyone help. I'm so sad without access to music on the go. (I also have an iPad and I'm avoiding syncing that to my laptop since losing my music... so it still has the iPod app with music, but sooner or later I'll need to update it.
Help - any ideas would be very welcome. Thanks.
Kate

Did you reformat when re-installing? In this case -without a backup- your music is lost.
If you didn't reformat your harddisk take a closer look at ./Users/YourUserName/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
There should be a lot of folders that contain all your tracks.

    All of the data should be on your computer, simply sync it back.
    If the update was done via iTunes on the computer, the first step in the process is a backup of the device.

  • All credit was lost when i reset my ipod touch i can i get it back

    all credit was lost from my account when i reset my ipod touch how can i get it back

    Resetting your ipod would have no effect on your balance.
    The balance is on the account, not the device.
    Check your purchase history to see if something was purchased.
    Check you computer and see if the balance is there.

    In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

  • Can I use all the tunes purchased with itunes if I buy a new ipod?

    Thinking of upgrading 60G model to 60G model with video. Would I be able to add my current library straight onto the new ipod?

    Yes. My iPod 5th gen (video) was already Windows formatted out of the box, so I just connected to iTunes and uploaded the songs from the library (Macs can read/write to a Windows iPod). Automatic sync is the default transfer method, so all your library will load onto the iPod when you first connect.

  • Form field validation: All required data lost when clicking browser-back-button!

    Hi folks,
    I have a big problem using the validation text  field components of Spry when the user must click the browser back button (or clicking a history.back()-Link) because he has  entered a wrong CAPTCHA-code!
    Right now, all the data - only in the required fields - not in the optional  fields!!! - is lost and the user has to enter all data once  again;-(
    Does anybody know why only the data in the  required fields is lost? Is there a nice workaround?
    I really  appreciate a quick answer:-)
    Kind regards from cloudy Germany

    rememberFormInputs('frmlogin', 'input-');
    'frmlogin' should be the id of page, not the name. so on your <form> tag, add the id="frmlogin"
    remove the
    // overload alert
    function alert(str) {
         var el = document.getElementById('alert');
         if (el) {
              el.value += str+"\r\n";
    Its really bad practice to overwrite the alert. and inside the rememberFormInputs remove these lines:
    alert('old value remembered: '+old_value);
    alert('setCookie: '+name + ' = '+value);
    and it should work

    Hi.
    Anyone encountered the problem of outlook crashing on startup every time I install itunes ? (any version)
    Previously I have managed to get Outlook back (and all my precious contacts)by doing a system restore,(ie. About 8 Times) but this time even that doesn't work.
    I'm fed up and confused.

  • Why are all my tabs lost when I close my session?

    Recently got a new computer and downloaded Firefox, but it isn't like the version I'm used to - there's no tab groups, and when I close my session I lose all the tabs I had open. I have Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox v 6.0.2 - is that the wrong version? Also, I tried to find a setting to save tabs in the Options menu, but didn't see anything.

    Why in HELL didn't Firefox tell us about this ridiculous "new" way to restore previously opened tabs?? Good Lord, give us the info window again, or at least have the option to put a 'button' to click to restore.

  • Registry settings for burning CDs/DVDs missing when Itunes installed

    I have recently had to reinstall ITunes following a computer crash. I am unable to burn to CD - when I start up ITunes I am told that the "registry settings are missing" and am told to reinstall, which I have done without success. I have not loaded any other CD/DVD burning software, and can burn CDs using other programmes. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Quicktime won't work on IE when Itunes installed and vise versa

    I can't view Quicktime movies on Internet Explorer unless I install the standalone quicktime installation. But then I can't run Itunes, becuase it says quicktime isn't installed. If I install Itunes with quicktime, then the videos in IE stop working. I've tried uninstalling both. And installing each separately in different orders to try to get this to work. I do get one error each time quicktime is installed. [Quicktime for windows] [there is a problem with this windows installer package a program required for this install to complete could not be run]. It installs anyway. I have not been able to figure out what program is missing, nor find any solutions to that error and am trying to avoid a complete reinstall of windows.
    Any ideas?

  • How do I get my e-mail inbox e-mails back that were lost when I installed the new upgrade ?

    A week ago , I got a new upgrade to Firefox . The first time I ran it , my e-mail account was fine . The next time I turned it on , all of the e-mails in my inbox had been deleted . Today , there was another upgrade to Firefox . So I thought , great maybe they fixed the problem . When I turned on the newest , all of the e-mails in my inbox were gone again . I can't find any settings in the internet tools that say delete e-mails on closing .

    Most such cases happen because of a shortage (even if temporary) of free disk space on your hard drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition. The preference is overwritten, but not the message data itself.
    If this happened, simply re-enter the account setup info, and then be sure to DECLINE any prompt to Import. When the accounts are again set up, Mail can rediscover the existing mailboxes and account folders.

    I did this with my ipod nano and it worked just fine. But with my wife's ipod nano, I can't find the music folder in her ipod when I open it up by double-clicking on "My computer". I can see a contacts folder and a couple of others ("calendar" as I recall" and something else), but no music folder that I can copy.
    Any suggestions, anyone???

  • HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

    Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

    What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
    Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

  • My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library ....

    My computer crashed and the Tech people had to completely erase everything on my computer. I am reinstalling it all and I lost my itunes library. Does anyone know if there is a way that I can connect my ipod to the computer and not lose my library? I have about 2000 songs in total!!
    HELP ME!!
    Thanks!

    Ipod syncing is not one way. You just have to know what to do...
    I can see you use windows. Connect ipod to pc, but don't install or dont open itunes - dont alow itunes to sync automaticly). Then open explorer, enable hidden files, open your ipod (as you would any disc) open hidden file with strange names and copy all of them on your new hard drive. Then drag all this strange-named files in your itunes...woooo...now those strange names become your songs...it is magick
    I you won't i can send you step by step guide...
    Take care.
