All music gone after update

After updating yesterday I clicked on iTunes and all my music is gone. No playlist. This happened a few weeks ago while using the old version. I took the laptop into the Geeks and they were able to find my music on my backup drive. They said they could not help me today because of the new update. I don't understand why this keeps happening. I have had iTunes for a while now and never had a proble.

You know, I had the same exact problem. Updated my phone to 4.2 and left the house went to play music and it was all gone!!! I was so upset! Turned it off and on, Reset it, re-synced, and still the same problem. All the music showed up while synced but not with iPhone alone. Until!!! While it was synced I played a couple of the songs that appeared to be still in my iphone library. I then gave up thinking i would just have to restore to factory settings and just start over. but one last try and shock of all shocks my music reappeared! Dont know if it was just a fluke but I wanted to share the info in case there is something more to it. Good luck Iphone users! I hope you find some relief from your problems as I have

All music gone after update to 4.2 !

After i updated to 4.2 Nothing shows up when I load the ipod app. It just says " no content".
It will take me awhile to re-download my playlists and 300 songs.

Music and Videos are gone after charging Ipod Touch 4th gen battery

The battery had completly died on my Ipod touch. Once it was fully charged, I unplugged it from the wall and turned it on, but all of my videos and music were gone!! However, my apps and photos were still there as well as my settings. What caused this?

Yes it did come 70% charged but I charged it, then drained it to charge it from 0% to 100%
the problem is from 0% it took 1 hour and 4 minutes 43 seconds to be fully charged to 100%
This doesn't seem normal as apple says it takes 4 hours.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect to your computer and sync
- Restore from backup

Help. I can't update iPod Touch 1st gen from ios 2.1.2 to 3.1.1; already paid for it.

Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.

Yes, I have contacted them. They are who told me to try a few of the "fixes". They actually said they had never heard of this error, or any problems relating to his download. Also, when I was talking to them, they came here to this forum to find the answer...:/ This is why I am asking here. I was hoping someone had an idea I hadn't tried already.
Thanks.

Mail crashes after updating iPod touch 2g

I just updated my iPod touch 2g. Now Mail crashes after starting it! It opens for just a few seconds and than closes itselves. But it shows me that i've got new messanges at the icon.
Please Help me!!!
Thanks

Try doing a restore - then setup as a new iPod. You will not have the same layout, but all your content will be the same. All I can think of is that something got corrupt and the only way to fix that is a restore - setup as new iPod.
Hope this helps.

After updating ipod touch to iOS 5 it doesn't connect to itunes (or computer) any more.

After updating my ipod touch 4G to iOS 5 it doesn't connect to itunes (or my computer) at all.
itunes shows an error. I can't turn it on or off either. i can only see the black screen with the apple while it's (aparently) working.
my itunes is the latest version, that shouldn't be the problem.
can anyone help me?!

The updating on the iPod only is a feature of iOS 5. yu first have to connect to your syncing computer and upadate to iOS 5. After that you can do subsequent updating via wifi without a computer.

Recovering music library after restoring iPod Touch

My uncle bought a used iPod Touch, which came with a bunch of music on it. At some point, it froze on him, and he restarted it, and then restored it. At that point, he lost all that music. He is hoping to get it back. I told him that the music is probably still on the drive but is just not showing up in iTunes. I've tried to rescue it using Disk Utility, but his iPod Touch doesn't even show up in my Disk Utility. Any ideas, or is he out of luck?

"He has no legal right to any music that was on the ipod when he bought it. He should not have the music in the first place."
That's not necessarily true. Music from CDs and the iTunes store is one thing, but now all music comes from those sources. There is a lot of music that is freely shared, royalty free, and not bound by any copyright or publishing, because that is how the musicians responsible for it want their music to be treated.
But regardless of the legality of the songs, if recovering files is an absolute impossibility on an iPod Touch, then you just helped me decide not to buy one. Thanks for the insight. I'll let my uncle know .

Lost data after update IPOD Touch

Hello folks,
i just updated my IPOD touch and i lost all my data, i would like to know if there is a way to have back all the data
thank you

If you have a backup with the data then restore from backup:
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
otherwise:
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

Updating iPod Touch Software Version and Apps saved game data

When I transfer my apps from iPod touch to iTunes will it also moved the saved game data like in Zombie Cafe, Amateur Surgeon 2 so on and so fort? Because I want to update my software version...

No. Transferring the app to the computer only transfers the app itself. not app data. App dat is stored in the iPod backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the a sync and of an update. Therefore, I would do one last sync of the iPod before restoring and ensure that the backup gets made. You can check by going to the Devices tab in iTunes' Preferences and looking at the date of the backup. Also, make sure your apps are in your iTunes library since the apps themselves are not in the backup but are synced to the iPod at the end of the update.

I Can't access the iTunes music store after updating to the newest version of iTunes

I know this sounds like a newbie question, but I have been using iTunes for over five years now. I recently updated to the newest version of iTunes (10.5 I think) and ever since that I have not been able to access the iTunes store. It has been over a week now and I am really confused. The status bar will just freeze and then it will disappear when I click to go on the store. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and that hasn't worked. Not sure what to do. Thanks for any suggestions.

I've got the same problem, and have reinstalled my entire system and haven't installed any Anti Virus or Spyware programs yet, and still can't get into the stores.
When I wrote last week to tech support they couldn't help me via email, and to me that I might need to go to the fee based support to get this resolved.
Does anyone have a phone number to tech support that's free to get this fixed?
