Deleted my library from my ipod...

I just deleted my entire library from my ipod!!! Let me explain-- I am living in Colorado for the ski season and I tried to put my ipod/itunes onto my laptop here so I could put new music on it. When I plugged the cord into the port, itunes came up and the message said,"This ipod has a library on another computer would you like to delete it and use this one?" I clicked yes, thinking it would just let me install my library onto my ipod and put all the itunes library on my laptop computer. But it deleted all my files from my ipod completely and all my cds, etc. are at home in Indiana!!! Is there ANY WAY I can get them back onto my ipod? I have tried the recover4all thing, didn't work... Or maybe I don't know how to use it?!? I can't imagine a day on the slopes without my ipod!! HELP!!

The songs are gone. If you want to try some data recovery software (like the one you mentioned), there a post here that mentions some.

Maybe someone at home can burn your iTunes library to CD or DVD, send them to you and you can then import them into your iTunes on the laptop and back onto your iPod?

  • Itunes deleted my library from my ipod. now i only have new purchases. how can I get my whole library back onto my ipod?

    I just transferred itunes to a new computer. When I plugged in my ipod, I was asked if I wanted to erase my old library and put the new on on. I said yes because my whole library is on this computer. Now that it's done with the sync, I only have the three albums that I just purchased and all of the rest is gone. How can I sync my whole music library back onto this device?

    If the lost music and photos are no longer accessible by or on your iPod, on your PC, or in another backup somewhere, you are out of luck.  You can download most iTunes purchases again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more information and assistance.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to redownload or rerip them from their original source.
    For the future, you may want to consider backing up your iTunes library and/or PC.

  • Every time I try and delete an album from my ipod using itunes but doing so manually as was suggested, it is also deleted from the itunes library that i have set up.  How do I just delete albums from my ipod and not loose them from my pc itunes library?

    I have an extensive itunes library on my pc.  I want to delete albums from my ipod but still keep them in my itunes library.  Everytime I try to delete by right clicking on the album and choosing delete, I also loose the album from itunes.  I have just gotten an old iphone and put just classical and jazz on the iphone and want to delete those albums from my ipod but alas I will be loosing them from the iphone as well as soon as I sync with itunes in the future.  I put settings into manual manage music but still the albums go off itunes.  Any suggestions?

    I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Can you restore a deleted IM message from an ipod touch?

    Hello, my daughter has received some bullying text on her ipod via Skype IM chat which she has deleted but I now need to show them to the school.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to retrieve deleted IM messages from the ipod (4th gen)? I have checked my PC to see if Skype has 'sync and stored it' but it hasn't. Many thanks.

    Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select Include Voice Memos followed by selecting Apply and a sync.  An iTunes playlist will be created where your voice memos will be available on your computer and any new voice memos will be transferred to your iTunes library automatically when syncing.

  • If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    Thank you
    I realize they are separate
    I will do music match so that all of my songs are in ICloud
    Do I need to keep the library on my PC or can I download whatever playlists I want stored on the device at that time.
    Example: I have almost 1G of Christmas Music - because it is on my PC in my llibrary they sync to my ipod touch every time - i really want those stored somewhere else so they do not sync [or take space on my pc] with exception to one month per year.
    I am thinking I can create space on my PC and Touch by storing songs on icloud that i do not listen to regularly; I am also thinking I can request songs by playlist to download to my touch or PC
    Is that a clearer question or am I just confusing myself??

  • How do I transfer my music library from my iPod to my Itunes?

    Last night I opened up my Itunes to add more music to my iPod, only to find that it somehow deleted almost all the music from my library and even managed to add in a free U2 album. (???) The music is still in my Itunes Media folder, and thankfully all my songs and playlists are still on the Ipod itself, as it didn't automatically sync with my Itunes. However, for some reason I cannot access the Itunes library I directly had before this one-- only libraries that I had months from now.
    Is there any way that I can transfer all the songs from my Itunes, including the playlists and song "play count" (both of which are very important to me), directly from my Ipod to my Itunes? Or simply replace all the info on my current Itunes library with the one on my Ipod?
    Thank you very much for your time!

  • HT1320 How do I delete an audiobook from an iPod nano?

    How do I delete an audiobook from an iPod nano?

    Hi Krietemeyer23,
    If you are syncing your audiobooks from your iTunes Library, you should be able to remove them from there (or set them not to sync), and the next time you sync your iPod they should be removed.

  • HT1848 how do i delete audio books from my iPod nano 5th generation

    How do I delete audio books from my iPod Nano 5th generation. Have deleted from iTunes library & chose sync but it is still on my iPod.

    What you do is this; the next time your ipod is jacked to the USB port on you computer and it shows under "Devices" in your Itunes library. click on that folder (your ipod) and it will have eight folders above the Ipod's state.
    That was step one; step two is once you see this bar above the ipod's state in the Ipod's folder under "devices" scroll down the horizontal bar until you see audiobooks
    Itune's is very user friendly and will give you the option to pick and choose or pick all. to get the audio books off your ipod pick and choose the audio books you want on you're ipod

  • How do I delete a song from my ipod?

    how do I delete a song from my ipod?

    How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
    If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. Highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard, or right click and choose either Clear or Delete, depending on which version of iTunes you are using.
    If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
    To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
    To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

    Hi FWFFP,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will explain how to get music onto your new computer.  I'd personally recommend the option of copying the iTunes library from your current computer to an external drive, because it creates a backup for you as well:
