I've lost my music off my ipod classic. How do I restore it?

I've lost my music off my ipod classic. How do I go about restoring it, any ideas?

If the media is all in your computer's library use iTunes to restore the device. I was making the assumption that you hadn't since that is when people usually come for help.
Your qualifying iTunes purchases are available for download from iTunes in the Cloud. There is a subscription service called iTunes Match that can extend the ability to download on demand to your ripped music. iCloud is a cloud data service for iOS devices and Mac computers. You can't "save" your media to it.

  • My pc crashed. I got it back up and running but my itunes music library is gone.  I have the music on my ipod but am afraid to sync new music in case it deletes all my music off my ipod.  How do I get the music back onto my library but not delete of ipod?

    My pc had crashed several months ago.  I got it back up and running, however my itunes library with all the songs I purchased is gone.  I still have all songs on my ipod.  If I purchase new music from itunes and have it synced to my ipod will I lose all the music on my ipod?  Also is there a way that itunes can reinstall my music to my library?

  • How can you get the itunes app onto your computer so I'm able to get music off my ipod?, how can you get the itunes app onto your computer so I'm able to get music off my ipod?

    i got a new computer and im unable to get the itunes app on there to conect my ipod to it and get my music and pictures off of it. does anyone know how im able to download itunes on a laptop?

    Click Itunes at the top of this page and download it.
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Hello - I am trying to sync my ipod touch with itunes and I have done many times and now today I am getting error message 13019. I have listened to all the suggestions of how to fix it from apple and now I lost all my music off my ipod. HELP?

    Hello - I have been getting error message 13019 all afternoon and I have never had that before. I have listened to all the suggestions on this site and nothing has helped. And know I have lost all the music off my ipod (luckily it is still on itunes) I really need this figured out asap since I leave on vacation in 4 days! Please somebody help. I have never had so many issues

    When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.

  • I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

    I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • My 40gb can be played but Itunes says it is corrupt.  I want to get the music off the Ipod onto my new computer, old computer died which had all the data on it (crap on my behalf I know)  Anyone know how to do this?

    My hard drive is corrupt even though I can listen to the music on the Ipod.  Itunes says it is corrupt so obviously cannot read it properly.  You can hear the disk reader resetting every few seconds preventing the data recovery.
    We can see the track listings and playlists which we used for our wedding in 2005 and desperately want them back.
    Sadly we lost the hard drive that had Itunes on it with all our music which we dont have a back up of.
    Is there anyway it can be repaired and then we get the music off the Ipod and get it back on a new pc....and back it up of course?!!!

  • Getting music off of ipod

    Hi! My computer recently crashed and i lost all my music and i can not seem to find the cd i burned with all my music. I have been dying to update my ipod, but I am afraid I will loose all of my music already on there. My question, is there anyway i can get the music off my ipod onto my computer? And if so, how do I need to congfigure itunes to put my old music and my new music back on to my ipod. Please be kind, for i am not the smartest person when it comes to how ipods work.
    Thanks

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music 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 files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • How Do I Get My Music Off My Ipod Touch Cos My PC Blew Up!!

    I'm hoping someone can help me...
    My PC recently died on me so i lost all the data including my itunes library.
    Is there any way to get the music off my ipod touch? I've tried just exploring it in My Computer (Windows XP) but the ipod isn't showing up a drive...
    I've a couple of 3rd party freeware apps but they say that the ipod is not connected (but the ipod works ok itself)
    Can anyone help?

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to the iPod and iPhone. However there are a few third party utilities that are advertised as iPhone and iPod Touch compatible which can be used to retrieve the music files and playlists etc. Have a look at the web sites and help pages for these ones and see what you think or check the web for reviews:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • Taking music off my iPod

    Hi, hopefully somebody will be able to help me,
    I had to have the harddrive changed on my new computer and lost all of my information including my songs, because it always crashed before I was able to back them up. I was wondering if there is any way to take the music off my iPod Touch using iTunes. I know there are ways to do this without iTunes using third-party programs but I would like to refrain from that. The music I would like to remove from it was not purchased on iTunes but is from my own collection. All help is appreciated.

    better to do it as soon as possible, becaouse later it can be too late.

  • I had to reinstall iTunes and lost the library, so I used what I had on my hard drive, but I have much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes library. If I synch now will it delete all that extra music from my iPod?

    I recently had to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) and lost most of the library. I restored with what I had on my hard drive on the PC, but there is much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes current library. I'm worried that if I synch now it will delete the extra music from my iPod, some of which I don't have available to re-rip etc.. Will this happen, or is it safe to synch more content without losing from the iPod what is already there but not in my iTunes library on the PC?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
