I downloaded iTunes and synced my iPod Touch - ALL of my songs are GONE!

What do I do? I heard that Apple will give you one time to redownload all purchased songs - how do I go about doing this?

You contact the iTunes store.  Start here and select the appropriate topic:
Apple - Support - iTunes
It sounds like you synced to a "new" computer.  Apple mar or may not allow a free redownload.

  • HT1349 I have a new pc . I downloaded I tunes and signed in using my original name and passwod when I try to backup and sync my iPod touch iTunes wants to delete a items on my iPod touch! It never did that on my old pc. Old pc has broken hard drive

    My old pc quit working. Got a brand new pc and downloaded iTunes to backup my iPod touch. I got a message the iTunes will delete everything off my ipodtouch. I do not want all my songs deleted or my aps. So I had to stop sync and canceled my iPods update. How can I use my my new pc with latest iTunes safely so it won't delete my songs and aps on my iPod touch?

    The iPod Touch should be similar to an iPad.  See if this article helps:  <How to Sync an iPad With a New Computer - eHow.com>
    Another article appears to go a little further:  <How to Sync an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch with a new computer>.

  • On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

    On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

  • All of my apps are in iTunes AND on my iPod Touch. in iTunes it the checkbox next to sync apps is UNchecked. should i check the box and have to reorganize all my apps or leave it "un-synced"?

    all of my apps are in iTunes AND on my iPod Touch. in iTunes, under my iPod, the checkbox next to 'sync apps' (in the Apps page under my iPod) is Unchecked. if I check it, all my apps will be all over the place and I will waste hours trying to get it back to the way it was. I don't really have a reason to check the box but I don't know. should I check the box and have to reorganize all my apps or leave it "un-synced"?
    by "un-synced" I mean how it is on my iPod and iTunes at the same time but its not synced
    this happened b/c I had to make a new user acct on my only [Windows 7] computer and when i clicked transfer purchases, this happened.
    any help would be greatly appreciated
    And as you can see ( besides my problem here) i am out of dropbox space. it would be nice if you can click http://db.tt/TQiPs59V to make an acct to give me and you more space

    You should ALWAYS make sure that everything is on your computer and backed up, most especially before any update. The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
    If you have failed to do this, then you need to redownload:

    It sounds like you need to set it up, and that makes sense because you said that its a new iPod. Just go through the steps of setting up a new iPod and you should be good.

  • Can I use a friend's computer to log in to my iTunes and sync my iPod without messing up their iTunes account?

    The laptop I previously used to sync my iPod will no longer turn on. Is it possible to use a friend's computer and go on my iTunes and sync my iPod? She already has an iTunes account, so will it mess up her music and data?

    i just updated my ipod and now all of my songs are gone. how do i get them back?

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • I ripped a new CD to iTunes and backed up to the cloud. The songs are already on my iPhone 4S, but I can't get them on my iPad. I already connected the iPad to my laptop and selected "Sync with the iPad over Wi-Fi". On the iPad I forced a Sync. Help!

    I have another computer that a virus may have taken over and I cannot log into it anymore.  I just downloaded Itunes on a new computer but most of my songs are not on there.  Is there a way to still access or find those songs?  Remotely or another way?  Or do I need to take it to a tech to get my files off of my hard drive?

    Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
    Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
    That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.
    For a backup strategy see this User Tip.

    1. Have you applied sync settings for music to be synced to the iPhpne?
    2. Photos that are synced to the iPhone cannot be deleted directly from the iPhone

  • Since downloading iTunes 10.5, my iPod Touch gets hung up syncing.

    I installed iTunes 10.5 and then tried to sync my iPod Touch, but the syncing is getting stuck right at the beginning.  It has been starting to back up my Touch now for about 1 hour, when usually syncing takes about 5 minutes.  I tried to do a system restore, but was not able to access iTunes at all, so had to download the iTunes off of the website in order to even get back in to iTunes, but still had same problem with syncing as the first time.
