Deleted all my music from my ipod. how do i recover it?

I wanted to load all my music from my ipod on to my computer and I think I deleted it from my ipod. its gone.... nowhere to be found.

You should manage all your music in your iTunes library and sync some or all of it to your iPod - you should also maintain a backup of your library to safeguard against computer/hard disc issues or other failures.  An iPod is not designed or suitable as a data storage device.  There are methods to retrieve media from an iPod (some of which require the use of third party tools), but if your music is neither on your computer nor on your iPod then it is gone.  The exceptions to this are prior iTunes Store purchases, which you may be able to download again, or having an existing iTunes Match subscription which would allow you to retrieve your library content from Apple's cloud services.  Obviously any other music that you own can be re-imported from the original source, including your CDs and - in most cases - previous digital purchases from Amazon, Google Play, etc.

    I'm tired of all my songs from my IPOD touch.  I want to delete all the music from it.  How do I do it?

    Go into iTunes and hit Restore. It will blat the Touch.

    Slightly less radical would be to uncheck the "Sync Music" button on the Music tab or choose new songs to sync to it

    If these playlists are still on your iPod, check out this older thread on how to export playlists from your iPod via iTunes.

    Follow the instructions here or here; the first set of instructions may require a power source other than a computer's USB port, so you should have one of these before proceeding. Your iPod is a fourth generation model.

  • ITunes deleted all my music from my iPod, but they still show up when I plug in the iPod.

    Hi!
    I had my iPhone 4S plugged into my computer, and I was listening to the music on my phone from the music library on my phone through iTunes. Well, after the phone got disconnected, I plugged it back in, and I was unable to play any of the songs on my iPod. I figured it was a glitch, so I unplugged and plugged it back in, but still, the same thing happened. Then I checked my iPhone, and found that only 24 songs remained, all of which could be played just fine, and all of which I had downloaded directly to my phone from the iTunes app on my phone. However, whenever I plug in my phone, all of the songs show up, but when I try to click on any of the non-24 that are on my phone, I get that exclamation point.
    Is there a way to fix this? Or is the only option to readd all the songs?
    Thank you!

    Also, what causes this, so I can avoid it in the future?

  • How can I restore all the music from my iPod touch to a new iTunes/computer?

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen running on iOS6, a computer running on Windows 7, and iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (newest as updated today).
    Basically my laptop got destroyed beyond repair, the laptop that my iPod was synched to.
    I have iTunes now on another computer, how can I get my music from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer? Even getting it onto the computer will do at this point, as I don't want to have to download/rip CDs to get my entire music collection back.
    When my iPod is plugged in I can click on 'transfer purchases' but this only restores the apps to iTunes.
    When I had my old iPod classic, and was using an older version of iTunes, when I plugged my iPod into a new iTunes it said something along the lines of 'there is music on this iPod that is not currently in your iTunes, would you like to transfer to iTunes?' But there is no option like this now, I don't know if it's because its a different and newer iPod, or because a newer version of iTunes.
    Please tell me there's a way to copy all my music from my iPod to my computer, and preferably straight into iTunes so I don't have to input all the info again.
    Don'tcha just miss the old 'copy and paste music' mp3 players you had as a kid? *sighs at how complicated technology got*

  • How can I delete all the music from my iPhone and reinstall it?

    I am trying to delete all the music from my iPhone 5 and reinstall it.  The names of some of the albums and the artists did not import correctly from my CDs.  I went back into iTunes and made corrections, synced my phone and no changes were made to the music on my phone.  And two of the albums (I only have albums, not individual songs) are duplicated on the phone, though they are not in my iTunes library. 
    I have gone into iTunes, selected the device at the top right corner, selected all the music that showed up in the window - gone to the Edit menu, selected "all" and then "delete."  The list of tracks disappears from the device list.  I then synced the phone again, and the albums are still on the phone.  What am I missing, please?  I've even shut the phone down and restarted it, synced it again, but nothing changes. 
    Help, please?

    The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

  • How do I delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch?

    I'm giving my iPod touch to my grandson and want to delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch. These have been synched from Mobile Me (.Mac). I've unchecked the synch contact box in the setting section of iTunes, but the contacts do not get deleted. (Also, I want to be careful not to accidentally delete them from my .Mac contact list in the process.) I successfully removed my music and photos in this manner, but the contacts are not being deleted. Advice would be appreciated.

    Connect the Touch to iTunes and click the Restore button. After the Touch is erased and the OS is re-loaded, you'll have the option to load your last backup or set it up as a new iPod (which is what you want).
    Alternatively, you can simply use the built-in utility. On the Touch go to Settings/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. That may actually take longer than Restoring though.

  • HT1848 How do I tranfers playlist and all my music from my IPOD Touch to my pc?

    How do I tranfer playlist and all my music from my Ipod Touch to my pc?

    Simply select only the Music that you want to sync to the iPad in iTunes. I assume that you auto sync.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it does not start on its own. Assuming that you do auto sync, let the process complete. Click on your iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Music Tab in the iTunes window on the right side. Click on all of the albums, playlist, artists, - whatever - that you want to sync to the iPad, uncheck the music that you do not want to sync, make sure that the Sync Music heading is selected - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
