Deleted all my songs

Yesterday, I turned on the computer, and BAM, all my songs were totally GONE. I only had about half of what I had in the "my music" folder. So, I loaded the ones I already had in the folder back into iTunes thinking that it was all okay and I just had to load it all back in again, not a big deal. But, nope. Logged on again today and everything was gone again! I have no idea what is happening and it is SO FRUSTRATING.

sounds like failing hardware to me.

I think i deleted all my songs...

ok. well, I'm using XP home edition or whatever, and there's multiple users on one computer (multiple files etc.) mind you, i have itunes on both accounts, (for some reason) one with alll of my songs, and another with just one movie trailer. I accidentally transfered my files or something and deleted all my songs from my ipod.. i reeeeally don't want to get all the CDs i imported from into my ipod.. I have a 4GB ipod mini, like the first kind, and i use itunes version 6.
is there any way at all to get all of my songs back?
dell Windows XP if you have an answer, please pleeeease answer now. =)

rayychii,
Does the iTunes under the other user still have all the music?
If so, all you need to do is log back in under the user with all the music, and then connect the iPod.
It should allow you to sync the iPod with that user's iTunes Library at that point.
Hope this helps,

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

I deleted all my songs off my hard drive and I went to download them again, and i can't, is this normal?

I deleted all my songs because for some reason they were all duplicated on my list, so i had to listen to every one of them twice so I didn't want to have the same problem when I redownloaded it.
I'm new to the digital era so you can only download the songs you pay for once? This isn't a joke right?

I recently update my iTunes and it deleted all my songs. I was able to get some back via iCloud but I can't seem to sync my old playlist. Any suggestions??

I want to delete all the songs with broken links at once

I lost a file with a lot of songs on it and it can't be retrieved. How can I delete all the song titles with broken links at once without having to delete 500 songs one at a time?

One way to identify the broken links in your library is to create this set of playlists:
Lost & Found playlists
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. They can be deleted with CTRL+A then SHIFT+DELETE.
Or use iTunes Folder Watch and enable its option to check for dead tracks on startup.
If you have any Apple devices that could hold the lost media see this user tip.
Finally, while I'm handing out advice, see this backup tip to avoid this problem again.

If i deauthorize all computers will it delete all my songs currently on my computer??

If i deauthorize all computers will it delete all my songs currenty on my library?

Back them up anyway. Other things, such as hard drive failures, can.

Deleted All My Songs And I Want New Ones On But It Wont Update

Ok Well,
i Deleted all my songs on porpose and Then i Put New Songs Into Music On Itunes And Then I Pluged My Ipod In and i went to music on my ipod and all my old songs are still there then i pluged it in again and then it comes up with ''DO NOT DISCONNECT'' and it being like that for a good two hours
Help!!!

If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes version 7 or later, connect the iPod and when you see the summary screen, uncheck the box marked "enable disk use".
If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, right click on the iPod in the source list, select options and uncheck the same box.
In future your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

How to delete all duplicate songs at once

how to delete all duplicate songs at once

If you mean the songs on your iTunes, you can follow this guide to delete the duplicate songs on your iTunes library. Hope it helps. Contact me if you have any other question.

What if i removed itunes from my pc, would i delete all my songs??

What if i removed itunes from my pc, would i delete all my songs??

Normally no, removing iTunes does not normally delete the track files themselves. That said, it would be wise to make a backup of any tracks you've purchased from the iTunes Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, just in case something goes wrong.

Itunes has deleted all my songs from ipod

Hi, I recently tried to update my ipod which had 1,780 tunes on it. My itunes has a library of 2,500 tunes. When I tried to listen to my ipod later it transpired that I had only one tune on it. Itunes had deleted all my songs, my itrip entries, playlists, everything. I have Windows XP and a 4G 40GB ipod.

Sorry I've been offline for a while. I updated iTunes and the new songs were added in the new one. There was a dialogue box that came up saying something like "songs not saved to library you don't have authorization". I clicked on the box. Checked library and all songs are there but not on ipod. Have updated all ipod software too.
Just noticed that I have some songs in C drive and some on D. My main itunes is in D.

Ipod updating and deleting all my songs

hi
i have a ipod 30gb video now i have had it for a while now 2 months or so it recently asked me if i wanted to update my ipod i said no since i heard it would delete all my songs so one day i plug in my ipod and it just updates it and deletes all my songs without asking me or anything has anyone else had this happen? I think a couple of thigns are wrong with this. First of all surely there is a way to update it without deleting all your music
itunes should ask you about the update and inform you that the update will delete all your songs
i know i probably should have kept a backup of my music but i didnt expect it to just delete all my music without asking i dont have much disk space i so deleted my music when i put it on my ipod so has anyone else had something like this happen?

Your post is a little confusing, assuming that you use the word "update" as in update the software and not update the songs.
Updating the iPod software does not delete the contents. The iPod software cannot be updated without you first running the iPod updater and clicking on "update". I does not do it itself.
How do you transfer songs from iTunes to the iPod? Automatically or manually?

How to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

How to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

HT1351 My iphone was disconnected during a sinc and now has songs that are grey with a red circle and sqare in the middle of it. None of these songs play. tried deleting all the songs and re sincing but to no avail???

my iphone was disconnected during a sink and now many songs are grey and have a red circle with a red square in the middle, they will not play

Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.
