Everything On My ipod (nano) has been deleted... HELP!

I have an ipod nano 4th generation. I connected it into the computer to add some more songs, but when itunes started up, it said that itunes could not reconize my ipod. So i clicked "ok". And my ipod didnt show up. So then i went down to the right hand corner and safely removed my ipod by useing the "safely remove harware" thing. But when i looked at my ipod, it said 0 songs 0 movies etc.
After that i plugged it back into the computer, and all the almost all space was still taken up, 96.4 MB with photos and 6.26 GB with "other" stuff.
I know i can restore it but unfortunatly, most of my songs are not backed up on itunes. Because i have just moved and had to switch computers and i dont want to lose it all.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!! What should i do to get my songs, video etc back??
(I hope im posting this in the right place)

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

Ipod nano has been in recovery process for over 11 hours

My ipod nano wouldnt update to my itunes, saying something like my playlists were not there anymore? Well. they are, and working as far as i know.

It connected my ipod, then said "ipod is in recovery mode, it cannot be used by itunes. It will come up on itune source panel when finished."
It hasnt poped up yet, and im just wondering wether to disconnect my ipod... or what is this normal? i mean 11 hours is a LONG time

Ipod nano has been washed

My "wonderful" 12 yr old son left his ipod nano in his jeans pocket (in a leather case) and it got washed! It turns on when plugged into the pc and works normal, but when he unplugs it from the pc it turns off. Is the stupid thing salvagible or does he have to suck it up and get over spending his own hard-earned money on junk?

Can you help me, please?
My daughter's iPod fell in a water bowl and now it
is frozen.She tried plugging it to the computer to
charge it and then she pressed menu and center at
the same time and all it does is light up the screen
for a few seconds. Just a white screen. Then it goes
off.
It's out of warranty.
Someone suggested to open it and use a hair dryer at
low speed to dry it. We don't know how to open the
iPod.
Can you help?
IF it's out of warranty it must be a 1st Gen nano.

The answer has been found for "ipod nano has been detected but can not be identified properly."

After MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS of troubleshooting this problem (for days) another poster fixed her problem in a discussion she had started. It immdeiately fixed mine too. Instead of only uninstalling iTunes, uninstall EVERY Apple program on your computer. Go to Control Panel/Add-Remove programs. In the list of programs, click the "Publisher" column at the top to sort by publisher name. Then uninstall ALL of the Apple programs, including Bonjour, Application Support, Apple Applcation Support, etc. (They will all come back when you reinstall iTunes.)
Restart your computer, then reinstall iTunes. Like magic my Nano was repsonding like the good old days. It is happily staying connected and charging right now.
Please pass it on!

I have tried everythng on the help page on apple
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

My iphone 5 has been deleting my calendar. This is the third time- now it deletes my contacts, notes and reminders as well. Why is it doing this, and how can I restore everything?

My iPhone 5s has been deleting my calendar. First time, just the calendar, then next time the calendar and contacts, then yesterday, calendar, contacts, notes and reminders. The phone is only 6 months old or so and is on iOS 7.1.2 (although I need to update it- but have to do some storage management first...)
I have looked at my calendar in my icloud account and it is a week or so out of date, even though it supposedly backed up from my phone on Friday. I am becoming very frustrated by this. Am I doing something wrong? Advice would be much appreciated. In the past I have deleted my icloud account from my phone and then re-signed in, as well as sharing my calendar with myself to restore it, and it works eventually.

Sorry I misstyped- it is an iphone 4s.

Uninstalled Roboform and everything has been deleted except for the icon in my launchpad.

I just uninstalled Roboform from my mac and all has been deleted except for the roboform icon in Launchpad, drag & drop does not work so am at a loss as to how to get rid of it. All icons in the Applications folder along with all files have gone but this one persists.
Anyone out there any ideas. The Robofrom site and faq's have nothing on it and contacting them is fraught with setting up user & password so not going there.
Thanks to all who may respond.

Simply drag the icon to the trash and empty the trash.
Cheers

My photoshop won't open, it says that the preferences file has been deleted. What do I do?

I was just working in my photoshop with no problems, I had just downloaded a free trial pluggin (Filter Forge) but that wasn't working, so I tried to close photoshop to re open it and it wasn't responding so I had to force quit it, and when I went to reopen it this box pops up..... "Could not initialize photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)" I looked up how to fix this and I went under the library on my MAC to try and find the preferences file to move it because they said that would help, well I forgot.....the file has somehow been deleted. My other option that I haven't tried yet is to open photoshop and do the shortcut keys that resets everything but Im nervous to do that because I don't know what will get reset. Any help will be awesome I have several projects Im working on and need to finish!
Thanks

If you have not saved your custom presets for some time you should naturally lose those when opening with cmd-alt-shift pressed and selecting to "delete settings file" – but you can consider this a learning experience.
Apart from the presets you also need to set your Preferences (Interface, Performance, …) again after that if you had in any way changed them from the default settings.

All my firefox sync data has been deleted and I don't know why. Any way to restore it??

I had alot of bookmarks and passwords on my firefox sync. However, I rebooted my computer a few days ago and now when I clicked on "Merge sync data" my data still does not appear and it seems like everything has been deleted. Can I restore this data?

I have tried restoring it but it only shows dates for the last 5 days which doesn't help. I rebooted my computer (formatted hard drive and reinstalled windows) a few days ago so any backup files in my computer are gone. I thought that there are backup copies made on the Firefox server but obviously I was wrong!
I don't see the point of Firefox sync if you can't view your bookmarks etc online and if there aren't backups made on the server.

Ipod classic has been wiped. cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again.

Ipod classic has been wiped saying 'no music'etc.
Cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again. Ocassionally Itunes freezes when I plug in the Ipod.

Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

Not Charge
- See:

iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
