I synced my ipod onto itunes and all of my music was erased?

I had more music on my itunes than i had on my ipod, i was going to download all of my muisc to my iPod and when i hit sync, all the music that was on my iPod replaced everything on my iTunes. so now all of my music is gone besides the few i had on my iPod, and im scared to plug my iPhone in to Itunes because i dont want the music on there to be deleted as well. How do i get all my music back

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  USe your backup copy to put everything on the new computer, then sync.

  • I accidently synced my ipod to itunes and all musics are gone

    I recently used other program called copytrans manager to transfer musics to my ipod
    and yesterday I don't know why I did it, but I hit the backup button, assuming that will save my musics files too,
    and hit the sync! but I felt weird so I canceled the sessions as soon as the syncing process was ongoing.
    However, after that, I clicked music file on my ipod to listen to music and
    musics kept skipping to the next one and finally all of them are gone and I only have
    2 musics which I purchased in itunes store. and in my playlists, sopt mark in the circle was shown right next to the title of the music.
    my ipod is 5th generation and I was about to update mine to 7.02, I think? and I am using the latest itunes.
    I used to have about 900 songs in my ipod and my itunes has only 400 out of 900. so....
    Is there any way that I can recover my ipod? like is there any time machine?
    please help me please!! I am desperate now!!!

    Thank you for all the supports and answers.
    But I have a new problem here.
    I connected my ipod to my mac and turned on the itunes.
    And I still haven't done anything to my ipod. (haven't re-synced or tried to fix my problem. my situation is same as my original post says,)
    I clicked 'my ipod's music'section on itunes' sidebar.
    And surprisingly, all my old music are still there, but with some greyed titles.
    What do i have to do? I don't want my situation to get any worse.
    What is needed if I want my musics back?
    Help me please!

  • My husband recently tried to sync my ipod to itunes and in the process he managed to loose all the photos I had stored on the ipod.  When I go to my pictures folder on my (Dell) laptop there is now a folder called ipod photo cache.  How do I view?

    My husband recently tried to sync my ipod to itunes and in the process he managed to loose all the photos I had stored on the ipod.  When I go to my pictures folder on my (Dell) laptop there is now a folder called ipod photo cache.  How do I view these files? They are now show as ITHMB files!

    Those photos taken or bumped photos should bi in the iPod's Camera Roll album
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Note however, that the the backup that had the photos may have been overwritten by a subsequent backup that did hot have the photos on the iPod.See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Have you looked on the computer? Maybe they were imported to the computer and then deleted from the iPod. Since the photos were not synced to the iPod they are not in the iPod Photo Cache folder .

    I just installed Lion yesterday, and am running iTunes 10.4.   First attempt to sync since upgrade.

    Yup,
    Me too...this is stupid, stupid, stupid. Just purchased my 200 (ish) mac and now I am told that my new Mac Book pro is not "authorized".
    Which if my 200 macs are authorized. Can someone please tell me???
    I "deauthorized" my old MBP and still told I cannot use my iPhone with iTunes.
    Interesting that my old $2500 MBP, my new $3000 MBP and my $500 iPhone all cannot work cuz of some pinhead's decision to use this assorization process.
    Yes I am very, very, very mad.

    Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

    While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

    I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!

    Had to get a new hard drive, of course lost all my music in itunes.  If I sync my ipod to itunes now will I lose my music on my ipod?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Upgraded iTunes and  all songs in music folder are duplicated

    Recently upgraded to iTunes 10.1.1.4 and all songs are now duplicated. Any idea why this happened and is there an easy way to get rid of the duplicates? When I opened iTunes after the upgrade, it acted as though it was a new installation-asking questions about finding song files.

    Something went wrong with the upgrade. itunes should not have asked about finding files on an upgrade.
    For duplicates in the itunes program, sort by Date Added. Figure out which group is valid - either the oldest or newest, and delete whichever group that isn't needed. You can highlight the first and then hold the shift key to highlight the last, so you can delete the group all at once.
    For duplicate on your hard drive, use Windows Explorer and Date Created/Modified the same way.

  • I opened my iTunes and most of my music was gone, it said "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top and had playlists from a few years ago (that I've long since deleted). How can I get my old library back?

    Please help!! About a week ago I opened my iTunes to find that all but 200 something of my songs were missing (I had 1,000 something the day before) and all of my current playlists were gone. They've been replaced by playlists that I had nearly four years ago and have long since deleted. It also says "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top. I am SO frustrated because everything is gone!!!

    Nevermind, once I posted this topic it gave me some helpful related topics on the side and I found my answer! Would have been nice if it could have given me those before I posted this!!! Anyway, if anyone else sees this and is having the problem, press and hold the Shift key while double clicking to open itunes on your desktop, then it will ask you to select a library and just choose the one with the most recent date!! (Use the Opt key instead of Shift for Mac users). I owe alot of thanks to the person on the board that helped me, been frustrated for DAYS!!! THANK YOU!

  • I woke up and ALL of my music was gone...???

    To start off, it's not from sync. I tried another forum and most insisted I did not sync the phone correctly. Truth is, I haven't bothered to sync it since probably October and my music was fine until I signed into the iTunes store. It downloaded one song and the rest dissapeared. The song I downloaded from iTunes shows up, but does not play. I know I will never buy anything from iTunes ever again, too much of a pain since I lost a lot of music that was purchased between October and now. Live and Learn.
    Is anyone else having this problem? What can I do to prevent it from happening again (was it from iTunes or just coincidence???) Ideas, input, suggestions??
    Any help appreciated.

    What you describe is an extremely unusual issue.
    It is not that unusual it just happened to me and now I'll have to go the work day with the free NPR podcasts I just downloaded. I have read a few threads about this happening. The real question is when does it become important enough for Apple to fix it? I really wanted my music today!

  • TS1717 I have logged onto Itunes and all my songs are greyed out and I cannot play any of them.

    I have paid for a year to have Itunes available on another computer but when I go in, all the songs are there but they seem to be greyed out and none of them will play.  I cant seem to find out what is wrong here.  I have checked my account and its all up to date.  I only have the two computers running on this scheme.  Any suggestions?  (I am not computer literate so please advise for a novice).  The main computer for Itunes is XP and the second computer is Windows 7.
