I have lost all of my songs on itunes but there still on my ipod?

okayy..i dont know wat happened . I was on my computer earlier today listening to podcasts and a cd my friend gave me. Then my mum wanted onto my computer so i unplugged it(its a laptop by the way) and gave it to her...it ran out of battery and when i switched itunes back on all of my music had disappeared. Was this anything to do with the battery running out?
I clicked on transfer files when i plugged my iPod back in and since i have only bought 2 songs from itunes. Only two songs came up in my library. Now i still have 700 or something songs on my iPod nano(first edition) but only 2 songs on my iTunes.
Does anybody know how i can get the songs from my iPod onto my iTunes??
because its really bugging me
please help
if you want to reply to me by email..reply to [email protected]
thanks

The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Lost All of My Songs in iTunes but NOT in my iPod

My computer crashed recently and I had to re-install Windows. I wound up losing all of my songs in iTunes but I still have them on my iPod. (I have not connected my iPod to the computer as of yet.) Is there a way to get the songs back from iTunes or to upload from the iPod to iTunes? Thanks, Terry

This topic is covered several times a day. First off, you need to develop a back-up strategy so this doesnt happen to you again. Relying on your iPod or computer is not smart. Next time, Burn your library onto a Data DVD or CD, or invest in an external hard drive. THey have come down in price a lot.
Anyway, you can download a third party program, such as YamiPod or CopyPod, both free, that will allow you to rip your iPod onto your iTunes. There is also another way, but is a bit more involved. Here is the article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Actually, Read Zevoneer's post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3850372&#3850372
He explains everything perfectly and it will really help you out.
Good Luck and Back up now, and back up oftenn,

Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

Connect phone to computer.
Select Restore.
Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.
Also, try reading the User's Guide as it answers questions like this.

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

I have lost all artwork since the recent upgrade, is there a way to refresh the 160gb classic ?

You'll have to restore the iPod to factory settings. Then sync all your content from your iTunes library back over to it.

You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

I have Windows XP, and when trying to burn an iTunes playlist to an Audio CD, I get a message saying "Disc burner or Software not found". I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes, but I still can't burn to disc. Any suggestions?

I have lost all of my songs on my Ipod touch. My computer that contains the Itunes library keeps freezing. How do I move my songs from my old computer to my new computer. Keep in mind that when I synced my ipod on my new computer I now have no songs on

My computer is old and keeps freezing up. I need to get my Itune purchases to a new computer. I messed up and synced my Ipod with my new computer before I moved my library over. Now my Ipod has no songs on it and the songs are frozen in my old computer. Is there anyway to get my songs onto my new computer and have my Ipod touch sync with my new computer. Or have I lost all of my songs? HELP

Songs purchased from iTunes Store?

HT5278 I have lost all of the songs I had on my iphone 4s how do I get them back.

I have lost all my songs that i had on my iphone can i get them back?

Assuming they are in your iTunes library, sync them back to your phone. If they aren't, you can redownload any music purchased from the iTunes store for free (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), but you will have to re-import music from other sources to your iTunes library then sync it back to your phone.

HT1766 i have recieved a new apple 4s phone and have a nana when i have tried to add other songs on my nana i have lost all of my songs that were already been downloaded little nervous about sync my phone is their a easier way?

I have just bought a iphone 4s and i own a Nano, my concerns are i have tried to sync my nano before and have lost all my music that i previously put on when i tried to add new songs to it is their a easier way to do this to my new phone without losing all the music off of my Nano again ...

You can only sync with one iTuns library/computer. It sounds like the Nano was previously synced to another computer/library.
Just make sure that you also ways sync to the same computer/iTunes library.
If you want to switch your syncing computer/library see:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

I have lost all of my music on itunes.

I have aton of music on itunes and now nothing shows up when I open itunes. Help!

What you have on your computer is an iTunes library, not an account. Your "account" that relates to iTunes is your Apple ID. The distinction is important, because you can sign in with your Apple ID to the iTunes Store, and re-download most previous purchases from the iTunes Store, at no cost. From the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.
Syncing with iTunes generally goes one way, from the computer's iTunes library to iPod. You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library.
I have lost all of my Music, books from my ITunes account on this new computer.
NOTE: If that new computer once had all of your content in its iTunes library at some point, and then you "lost" it for some reason, the media files may still be on the computer.
Look in your user home folder's Music folder. In the Music folder, look in
/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/ - For song files, organized by Artist and Album.
/iTunes/iTunes Media/Books/ - For books, etc...
If those iTunes media files are already there, but not in your current iTunes library, you can add them to your current iTunes library.
