Backed up iPod, but it didn't back up my music

i backed up my ipod this afternoon ready to update the software, i havent actually used it ages and its never been updated, so made sure i followed everything to the letter, after updating the ipod, i resorted from the saved back up, but when i checked the ipod later it didnt have any music on it, and it seems all my music has been whipped off and not backed up, please tell me i can get it all back as i had pretty much every album ive even own saved on there and dont have the cds anymore

You are out of luck for non-Tunes purchases. The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My iPod camera won't work. The shutter doesn't open at all. I backed up and restored my iPod but it didn't make it work. Now I'm so mad and confused. Please help.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Can I get my data back after I restored my iPod but I didn't back it up?

Can I get my data back after I restored my iPod but I didn't back it up?

Unless you uploaded data to Dropbox or some other cloud based storage app or you created a back up, there is no way to retrieve the data. Sorry!

My itunes is syncing my ipod, but not changing/adding any of the music in my library. Help?!

My ipod connects to my itunes and it even goes through the syncing process, but it isn't adding any of the new music in my library! My settings mean that all my library is supposed to be synced, but it isn't putting new music on my ipod. Anyone know any way to fix this, please?

Any restrictions set up in Settings/General/'Restrictions? If yes, disable them.

I have an ipad and an iPod and a Dell Desktop PC. I have music on my iPod but the old computer I had my music library on is broken. Can I transfer from my iPod to my PC?

I have an iPod, an ipad and a Dell PC. My old PC which had my music library on, has broken. How do I transfer the contents of my ipod on to my new computer?

The iPad is not a computer, it cannot replace one, and it cannot sync music or media to other devices.
You need to keep a computer around if you want to sync ther Classic and Nano. It may also be useful if you ever need to backup the iPad in case a restore is necessarry.

I've lost my iPod Touch but i didn't achive the mobile.me. How can I find the location?

I've lost my iPod Touch but i didn't achive the mobile.me. How can I find the location? It's a 4th generation iPod but I didn't sync the mobile.me in my iPod. I've lost it in a cab in Brazil, in the city of Curitiba, if some brazillian can help me..I would really appreciate!
I don't now how to do..I have all my trip photos and also some stuff from work.
I would be really really happy to know the location or to know something that I cand do to get it back! Thanks.

By looking for it. If you have activated FaceTime or some other app that will make a sound when you activate the app (Call with FaceTime or Skype) that will help. Otherwise ther is nothing special you can do. Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report it to the police in case someone turns it in.

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?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

TS4006 I was able to get a location on my stolen MBP but I didn't get the email notification in time to log into to iCloud to view the location, it is only viewable for 24 hours. Does anybody know how to get that info back? I've been on the phone w/Apple

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get in touch with iCloud support directly? All iCloud support roads lead to CPU tech support. My stolen MBP finally came online and gave a location but I didn't check my email for a couple days, was sick, and iCloud only displays location map for 24 hours. Desperatly trying to regain the location info. I live in a small town so location info might actually lead to the recovery of my baby.

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

Not true at all.
You only buy the right to your own personal use.
You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
This is illegal. There is no doubt about it

I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 8.0.2 and now it wont turn on it just says to connect to itunes and when i do the only option it gives me is to restore iphone because it is in "recovery mode". It says it will delete all my media but i didn't do a back up and i don't want to lose my photos, what should i do? (I never used iCloud to back them up either).

If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

I put my new iPhone into iTunes for the first time, and chose to back it up to the iTunes i had on my iPod, but that made all my contacts on my sim card disappear, how can i get these contacts back?

The computer that I originally used with my ipod touch is dead, so I am now synching with another computer. I had to restore the software of the ipod, I am able to drop and drag my tunes back to the ipod but not my purchased apps.
