All of my songs are GONE after i updated my Nano to 1.2!!!!

well last night i connected my nano to my computer, then started up itunes nd i get a msg to update it to version 7.0. So i installed it then it asks me to upgrade to version 1.2 for the ipod. so i'm like WHy not.
after the firmware for the ipod has been updated, i disconnected the cable, i went through my ipod and i noticed it asking me which language i wanted, so i scrolled down to english. then i went through my songs n next thing i know, everything is GONE.
i connected my nano back to the comp, nothing shows up on Itunes either. But when i went on My Computer to check my ipod, it does show how much space my songs have taken up!
so it may seem like the songs are still on my ipod but its just not showing anywhere... i tried to look through the folder MUSIC on my ipod, but nothing is there, however when i looked in the folder Artwork, theres a few big random files :

or should i just.. reformat it? thank you

Can anybody explain this or help me to find out whre all of my songs went. Thanks

i just updated my ipod and now all of my songs are gone. how do i get them back?

You can get iTunes purchases back by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

all of my songs are gone and when i try to sync again the sync is 2 seconds long and nothing happens plus all of my photos from my computer synced to my phone and i cant delete them and i dont have neough storage PLEASE HELP ABOUT TO CRY

1. Have you applied sync settings for music to be synced to the iPhpne?
2. Photos that are synced to the iPhone cannot be deleted directly from the iPhone
To delete photos and videos from your device
To delete synced photos and videos

All my apps and music are gone after i updated to 5.0.1

i did back up my ipodtouch before i updated it. all my musics and apps are gone and only thing it backed up is my pics, contacts, and some other stuff. is there anyway i can get my apps and musics back?

You said you did a backup...
iCloud backup or iTunes backup?
Also, two suggestions for next time:
Software updates can be done right from your device, under Settings > General > Software Update if you have iOS 5 or later. This usually prevents a lot of problems users typically run in to when updating in iTunes.
When updating in iTunes, even though your restore may seem complete, it is still restoring your apps, music, etc. Please be sure that it is absolutely complete before unplugging.

After updating and installing an icloud update for my 4th gen itouch, itunes crashed and doesnt recognize my new iphone, or any of my previous devices. All of my songs are gone too. How do I restore my itunes back to the way it was?

Please Help. Has anyone else experienced this crash? I spoke to support, and they hinted that this might be a common problem.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

I had to buy a new computer and just loaded iTunes. All my old songs are gone. Can I load them back in from my iPod?

my old system crashed and the disk with my itunes library was lost. I've loaded iTunes on my new computer. How can I recreate my songs? Can they be loaded to the computer disk from my iPod nano?

Important: The first time you connect iPod nano to a computer that it’s not synced with, a message asks if you want to sync songs automatically. If you accept, all songs, audiobooks, and other content are erased from iPod nano and replaced with songs and other items from that computer.You can prevent iPod nano from syncing when you connect it to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.
Turn off automatic syncing for iPod nano:
In the iTunes Summary tab, deselect “Open iTunes when this iPod is connected,” and then click Apply.
If you turn off automatic syncing, you can still sync by clicking the Sync button.
Transferring purchased content to another computer
Content that you purchase in iTunes on one computer can be transferred from iPod nano to an iTunes library on another computer. The other computer must be authorized to play content from your iTunes Store account.
Authorize another computer:
Open iTunes on the other computer and choose Store > Authorize This Computer.mm
Transfer purchased content to another computer:
1 Open iTunes on the other computer and choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
2 Connect iPod nano to the newly authorized computer.
3 In iTunes, choose File > Transfer Purchases from iPod.

All old e-mails are gone after update

After updating my Gen. 1 iPhone to 2.0 today, I noticed that all the e-mail messages that were on the phone were gone. Inbox, Sent, all of them. Is anybody else experiencing this? I haven't yet tried sending an e-mail to see if my phone is having the same sending issues many of you seem to be having....

I contacted Apple Support to ask for a solution. During a couple of days I received several phone calls asking for info of my different devices and configurations. They didn't have an explanation for my problem and only can recover e-mails for one week ago and. They decide to report to engineering to see what happened and recover the rest.
Meanwhile, after 3 days, my Mail program start to download ALL my mail again. 5000 unreaded e-mails in my inbox. The same way they disappeared they returned. No explanation, no moves, no clicks, nothing. IPhone and iPad sync perfectly.
Two days after that (weekend) Apple Support has called me again (this morning). And that's the strangest part, they have bad news for me because they (nor support neither engineers) cannot recover my lost e-mails!!! Then, I've told them my e-mail has returned and they didn't know it. My problem was solved but Apple Support didn't have a clue why or when.
Happy end but my confidence in iCloud Service has decreased a lot. I've been using my mac.com adress for more than 10 years (most of them paying around 100$) and I didn't expect that kind of surprises and unknwoledge from Apple.

I downloaded iTunes and synced my iPod Touch - ALL of my songs are GONE!

What do I do? I heard that Apple will give you one time to redownload all purchased songs - how do I go about doing this?

You contact the iTunes store. Start here and select the appropriate topic:
Apple - Support - iTunes
It sounds like you synced to a "new" computer. Apple mar or may not allow a free redownload.

All songs are gone. Can I get them back?

Hey everyone! O.K. My step-daughter was here for the summer, She got a nano for her b-day and I put all of my songs on her iPod nano. Then she went back to her Mom's and she pluged it into her friends computer(which had iTunes but no songs). A ballon poped up that asked if she wanted to update to new library and she ticked yes. So now, of course, all of her songs are gone. Does anyone know if we can get them back without using my computer(She's 4 hours away)? Please Help!

If you're desperate, check out this post.

If those songs originally on the iPod were overwritten with new songs, it's probably a lost cause.

All my Garage Band songs are gone in the app after I uploaded to iCloud.

All my Garage Band songs are gone in the app after I uploaded to iCloud. Where can I retrieve the songs? iCloud doesn't show any Garage Band folder backup. Help please!!!

Is your GarageBand version up to date? If not, upgrade to the latest version. also, you coud try to reset GarageBand to the factory settings. That brought my iCloud projects back.
Open the "Settings" app on your iPad and scroll down to the applications. Open the GarageBand settings and set "Reset GarageBand" to on.
BTW: If there are network problems it sometimes may take a very long time, before the song is downloaded from the cloud again. That is why I never upload the original to iCloud - I duplicate the song and share only a copy to iCloud. Once I am sure the upload has been successful and the cloud version is working I delete the original.

All my songs are gone!! Help please.

So I'm on vacation kind of for a month and I brought my iPod with me and the CD that has the iTunes software thing on it so I couldd install it on the computer here so I could download more songs or whatever. But after I installed iTunes, my iPod was totally refeshed and all my songs are gone. I'm pretty sure I could get my songs back from my own computer at home, but I wont be back for more than a month. Is there any way I can get my old playlist back without having to buy them all again?

If you linked your Shuffle to an iTunes with only a few or completely different songs it will have erased your original iPod song list. You will need to connect to your original PC to get them back. iPod Shuffle: FAQ
