Had to reformat my computer today, lost 3000 tracks I had on it, any affect on my play

My PC picked up a virus today which wiped out my Windows. I lost all 3000 tracks on my PC. I loaded these onto my Zen Touch 40 GB. when I reinstall the Creative software, and connect my player, will anything get deleted from my player?
Just worried, I already lost these from my PC, I'll have to destoy something if I lose them from my player.
One more thing, are there any software applications that will allow me to copy the songs on my player back to my computer?
Thanks!

ShetenshiSenshi, here is what you should do to transfer tracks in your MP3 player back to your PC:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
- Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
- Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

  • After I had to reformat my computer I lost all the songs from my library.

    After I had to reformat my hard drive I lost all of the songs from my library. All of the cds that I had loaded to my computer previously were also wiped clean. I had of course put them on my ipod so I was wondering if there was a way I could get all of that music back onto my computer.

    Using iTunes your iTunes Music Store songs can be transferred back to computer. For other songs you have to use another program. Many are available online or in some stores.

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • I had to format my main computer and lost all of my itunes music

    Recently, I had to re-format my main computer, I lost all of my iTunes music, most of it is on my iPad.  How do I transfer this music from my iPad to my current iTunes.  I really don't want to have to copy a couple of 1000 CDs again.

    Once you have the tracks recovered, you might also consider iTunes March. There is a cost involved ($24.99/yr), and it isn't without it's ... shall we quirks? ... but it is a very convenient way to manage music tracks on iOS devices.

    Do you memeber the complete wording of the error message?
    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I had a guy reformat my computer and he is unable to get my bookmarks back. What do I do?

    I don't have any of my bookmarks and the guy who worked on my computer said he knew what he was doing and I paid him a lot of money. Is there a way that I can get my bookmarks back?
    I have had FireFox for years and the guy who built my computer put it on. If I need a password or log in information I have no idea what it is.
    I appreciate any help I can get. There will be no way I can recreate most of them.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    Go to the person who reformatted your computer. Ask if he made a backup file for your bookmarks. If he did, get that file, and import that file into firefox.
    If he did not make a backup file, there is nothing you can do to recover the bookmarks. Formats wipe everything (everything) off the harddrive, and off the top of my head i do not think firefox makes any online backups.
    The silver lining is that most websites have a "Forgot your password/username?" button on the log-in page, and you can use that to recover/remember/rebuild your passwords and usernames for most websites.

    So you have all you music on the iPhone, right? and you want to transfer FROM the iPhone TO the computer?
    You can't do that with iTunes as far as i know, but you could probably get by that going through "this computer" or something.. I'm not sure, but technically it should be possible.
    good luck!

  • I reformatted my computer and now I'm trying to re-sync my iPhone.

    I just reformatted my computer and now I'm trying to re-sync my iPhone to my new iTunes library. When i try sync it, it tries to sync my new library on top of my old iPhone library instead of replacing it. So it's trying to add another 20GB on top of my old 25GB library. Why isn't it just erasing all the stuff i don't have anymore like it usually does?

    the issue that i think you are encountering is the "device was synced once before" to an account. now your resyncing the device under technically a different account (granted it was a upgrade or clean install to win7 most likely win said do a clean install) things changed and account relationships (pointers changed) causing duplication.
    you could manually delete the duplicates in one of two ways.
    directly on the iphone or with the settings I had mentioned (go to itunes - file - display duplicates)
    but I would most likely try and take them off the iphone instead.
    here is a thought, let us assume that you have itunes open....and your in your music library.
    from the space and duplication issue
    can you create a new folder on your desktop.... then drag x number of songs to the folder (technically creating a back up copy)..... then litterally go back to itunes and physically delete the copy (moving it to trash - two step process - delete from playlist - delete from library) freeing up "space as it were"  to get you past the   space issue your encountering when you attemp to sync.
    techmically this would give you a back up of songs, but reduce the number of songs being syncd
    then you could, connect the device with the reduction of songs accross the boad (itunes)
    it would possibly get you to the point where you could do a sync and not run into any issues (thats a goal here)
    if you got to that point
    you could then disconnect the phone, you would readd the folder that you created on your desktop to itunes
    you could the eliminate the duplicates (from the library and ideally have one set of songs) to sync with checkmarks to your phone when you reconnected.
    And you are correct. step 2 would cause songs to be lost
    you would loose the 500 off of the phone, thats why option two was a concern (loosing the 500 songs)
