Everything got deleted after I updated my ipod to version 5.0.1. What can I do?

Ok, so I had to use a different computer than I did before because that one is totalled (both are pc's). I am positive I was signed in to my itunes account. So after I did the update the ipod was TOTALLY wiped clean, itunes didn't even recognize it as "David ipod" anymore, it now said 'new ipod". I'm completely clueless as to what happened, I read that itunes makes a backup before updating but I dont know how to find it. Any help will be very appreciated

This article explains what happens when you do the update on other than your syncing computer.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
Basically, itmes like music, apps themselves and some other suff is not part of the backup so after the update they can't be sunced from the iTunes library since they are not in the iTunes library.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT1349 some of my songs got deleted when i updated my ipod

    Some of my songs got deleted when i updated my ipod

    This is rediculous!!! What type of "UPDATE" erases EVERYTHING when it fails?????? I just "Updated" my iTouch, it couldn't backup because I don't have 60 Gigs on my computer (and I'm sure no one else in MAC land does either! ) It updated the software, i gues failed... looked like it worked, then said it's returning to factory settings, found an old back up from three onths ago, then wiped my iTouch IN THAT ORDER. Oh, well my name is still on the iTouch. THANKS APPLE FOR NOTHING!
    Are they going to recover my iTouch's data?????? This is rediculous!!! What lousy software iTunes is with lousy programmers making it!

  • History got deleted after firefox update 14, keeps repeating

    I updated my Firefox Browser v 13 to v 14. However, after this my history got deleted without my deleting it. So I had to manually type each letter of my favourite sites.
    But this problem keeps recurring. For example, I might visit gmail.com many times to appear on my most visited list; but after some time, the history will get deleted, and once again I will have to reenter each word of my site.

  • My movie got deleted because I updated my iPod Touch & can't get it back. Help.

    Yesterday I decided to update my 4 generation iPod Touch, before I updated it I synced all my stuff I had in my iPod that I haven't synced yet onto my iTunes library, but my movie didn't get synced and I didn't know that so I updated it anyways. After I updated it, I wanted to get all my music, TV shows, podcasts, the movie I mentioned & apps back. Then I realized I didn't sync my movie into my iTunes library and I don't know how to get it back. I went to the iTunes store on my iPod & I saw this section called "Purchased" so I thought all the stuff I have bought in the iTunes store would be there, but it only appeared the TV shows & music I've bought, not the movie. I need some help please :l

    You can contact iTunes and explain what happens and then may allow aa redownload.  Unlike for apps and music (some countires only)  a redownload is not guaranteed.

  • HT203128 My iPad is not being detected by iTunes after I updated to the latest version of iTunes.  What should I do?

    After updating to the new version of iTunes, my iPad 2 is not being detected when I tried to sync.  Any solutions?

    A few things to try. Any one or a combo mayhelp
    Reset your iPad.
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. Then plug it back in and see if it is seen now.
    Try a different USB port
    Reboot your computer
    If you have a PC:
    If that doesn't fix it, go into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, apple Mobile device service, apple application support.

  • Help - after NG6 update cannot print to HP 4600dn color laser - what can I do?

    I was always able to print easily from my Galaxy S4 to my local lan networked HP 4600dn.  I still can from my Note 3 which is at NC4 update.
    I'm guessing when the Note 3 is forced to update I won't be able to print to the HP 4600dn from it either.  Was that ability intentionally removed to force me to use cloud printing or pay for extra apps?  I see Google and HP are really pushing that.  I'm not crazy about my personal documents going onto the cloud and then back to my printer so that option is a no go for me.  I don't see where I can make any changes to the printer compatibility on my S4.  Thank you if you can help me fix this.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:

  • After I updated my Ipod to the software 4.2.1 my wi-fi no longer works. How do I fix this?

    After I updated my Ipod to version 4.2 my wi-fi no longer works. I've tried syncing it but it hasn't worked. Can someone help me?

    That is sort of normal since the article also says:
    "If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on or off after attempting these steps, contact Apple or your wireless carrier for additional assistance."
    Thus an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    If you have been regularly syncing/backing up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud, you may try restoring it from the last backup.

    Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

    Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

    How do I get all of my apps back after I update my ipod touch, the warning box says they will all be removed from the ipod during the update process? Thank you , I am new to this

    You should be transferring all apps purchased on the ipod to your computer regularly, especially before any update.
    If you have failed to do this, then do so now.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You then sync them to the ipod from your computer.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
