How can I recover my lost iPod library?

I went out running with my third generation iPod today and about half-way through the thing locked up on me. I just ignored it--keeping it in the unlocked position--and proceeded with my run only to discover that my entire library had been erased. At some point it appears the thing shut off and then started up again, but I didn't realize that it might be capable of erasing everything as it jiggled around in my pocket. Does anyone know how this might have happened--so I can prevent it from ocurring again--and how (gulp) I might be able to recover my files. Is that even possible?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  • How can i recover my lost ipod touch 4th generation even if the battery is dead?

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • HT4914 I had 1235 songs on my iPad 3 I subscribed to iTunes Match and it deleted all of my songs except for 79 that I had purchased from iTunes Store. How can I recover my lost songs???

    I had 1235 songs on my iPad 3 I subscribed to iTunes Match and it deleted all of my songs except for 79 that I had purchased from iTunes Store. How can I recover my lost songs???

    Hi,
    If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?

  • I resently upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, but the information in my address book did not transfer.  How can I recover the lost information?

    I upgraded to Snow Loepard OS.  But not all the information in the address book was transfered.  How can I recover the lost information from my old address book?

    No I did not make a copy of my address book. 
    Some information was moved over, many did not.
    I do not see a pattern.
    I think all the info is still on the hard drive, I just don't know how to recover it.

  • How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

    How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

    If you mean you lost the passcode for your iPhone, you cannot recover it.  You can reset it by attaching the iPhone to your computer with iTunes and restore the iPhone from the most recent backup.  That removes the passcode.
    If iTunes does not recognize the iPhone or let you restore, attach in recovery mode by starting iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end of the cable.  iTunes should then ask if you want to restore.

    How can you find your lost ipod

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • HT1689 How can I find a Lost Ipod?

    How can I find a lost Ipod? I believe that I had the app on it to locate it.

    If you had Find My activated on the iPod, and registered it in iCloud's Find My Phone, then login to iCloud, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up.  If it is turned off, battery is dead, not connected to the internet, or been found and wiped clean it will not show and you will not be able to find it.

  • HT201303 how can i recover my lost iphone which does not have tracker

  • HT1689 How can I locate a lost iPod touch?

    How can I locate a lost iPod touch?

    If you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID.  Then click the FindMyiPod icon.  This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
    Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

  • How can I locate my lost iPod Touch if my location was off and user ID was changed?

    I lost 3 Apple devices during house break in. How can I locate my lost Apple devices if my location was turn off,
    without "Find My Phone" apps and user ID was changed. The 3 devices are iPod Touch, iPad 2 and iPhone 3gs.
    I had made a Police Report and was told that I can request to get information to track my devices upon WIFI or
    internet connection. I hope "APPLE" team will help me to track my devices with IP locations, GPS, built in compass,
    or quickly send directions, updated informations and mobile data to find out and coordinates them.
    Given point will also help the police to capture them.
    Awaiting your reply.
    Thank you. Rgd,

    There is no Apple here, just users like you and me. Apple does not provide nor have that information, as far as I know, but if police needs that information, they have a legal way of contacting Apple. If I were you I would avoid trusting Internet forum, assessable by anyone with your personal information.
