okay never ever plug your ipod into your friends itunes list. The computer then thinks that you want to sync your friends songs on your ipod, and delete all the existing songs on your ipod and replace them with your friends songs. when you plug in your ipod to a different itunes library, a message will pop up and say something like: the songs on your ipod are linked to a different itunes library, do you want to sync the files on this library and erase all your existing files? ---and you should say NO OR CANCEL, or else all your songs will be deleted and now you might have to download all your songs back. It has happened to me before when i got a new computer and i had to install itunes again and redownload my songs.

I plugged my iPod into my friends computer and her iTunes synced to my iPod
I plugged my iPod. Into my friends iTunes and now I can't find my camera roll
- Because it sounds like you restored your iPod either to factory settings/new iPod or from a backup that was on that computer.
- You have to restore your iPod from a backup of your iPod. For how see:
iOS: How to back up
- If the photos are not in a backup then
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

I plugged my iPod into my dads computer and everything got erased. Is there a way I can restore my iPod?
Plug it back into the computer you normally sync to and resync the content.

My computer hard drive fried on Friday. They are not able to retrieve the data. Have i lost everything that was not a download?
Can i plug in my iPod into the new computer (once I install iTunes and authorize the computer) and move my files to the new system from the iPod, or will my iPod be wiped out?
I believe I need to set up manual update, rather than automatic to prevent this, but other than that, I am a bit lost.
Thank you.try this from Turing

My phone just ran out of battery so i plugged it into my friends laptop to charge it. It has now gone to a screen with an ipod plug and itunes logo with a message saying that it needs to be restored. When plugging it into my laptop it recognises my phone and I can view the pictures on it...however itunes does not. Is there anyway i can restore it without having to go back to factory settings!?
Pressing Restore will restore it to factory settings, that's true. But, after the restore, you can choose to "Restore from Backup" to recover all of your data.

I wish to transfer all the music on my ipod (synced with my home computer) to my itunes on my work computer. Is this possible? I am concerned if I plug my ipod into the work computer, which has itunes but no music content, that it will automatically sync and wipe all the content from ipod. Can anyone advise?
Only if you use a third-party utility such as Phone to PC and only if you use the same Apple ID for your other computer.

I plugged my iPod in at my friends to charge and it synced about 1/2 of a gigabyte of photos to my library. I deleted the photos but it still shows that I have tons of storage taken up by photos. I have an 8 gb iPod and storage was an issue as it is. Any help?????
I've tried all those things it says to do, and nothing works.

i have an ipod touch.
i had 300 odd songs on. i do not have the songs on my laptop. i wanted to add the songs without getting rid of the currnet ones.
without knowing , i just synced my ipod as usuall and my old songs were deleted. is there anyway in the world i could get those songs back ?!
i am devistated! those songs bought me so many memories ! please help asap !!! x
hannah xThe iPod is not a storage device, all songs should reside on a computer and you can only sync to one machine. However, if these songs were purchased from iTunes you can reload them (see link). If not, and you have no backup, then they are gone.

While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpected arror occured before my data was restored and now Itunes will not recognise my Ipod. My Ipod is also not seen as a device in My Computer but asks me to install drivers. What can I do?
- First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode:

- Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
- If the other computer works and yours does not see:

So i just got a new Iphone 5s 64 GB. I plugged it into my friends computer and pressed sync with this device only as opposed to sync with other devices and now I can't sync my music from my personal laptop..Is there any way around this?? I'm using Mavericks and newest version of Itunes
Also, I can sync my apps from my laptop but not my music so i'm really confused.. Help pleaseI have the same problem. I bought a 3rd party software (tunejack) and it allowed me to transfer my songs to my new pc. Now I can't play them because I am not authorized. It says I am but then it says im not.
