IOS5 update has deleted my all Photos, Music and Video.

Hi,
Please help me. I have updated my iPod 4g with iOS5, while updating it asked me to sync/backup which i have taken already.
Once iOS5 got installed on iPod all the Photos, Audio and Video got deleted. Is there any way to get that lost data back to my iPod.

Sounds like you didn't have those sync options turned on in iTunes (on mac) when you updated.
If you have backed up prior to the update you should be able to restore your data. (restore from backup).
On iTunes go to preferences then devices to see a list of your recent backups before you begin.
Good Luck.

I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by itunes since I've done the update I've lost all my music and videos; also I've lost my USB drivers. What can I do to restore my 2nd Gen Ipod touch to factory?

I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by Itunes. Since I've done the update I've lost all my music, videos and icons. I also can't connect to any PC via the USB port. What can I do to restore my 2nd Generation Ipod Touch back to factory?

I also have a 2nd generation iPod and when the new version was being advertised on the home page, I clicked on it. And I saw that the update was compatible with iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation, iPad 1 and 2, and all the iPhones. But it wasn't compatible with iPod touch 2nd generation. So you downloaded an update which wasn't compatible with your iPod. I'm sorry.

How do I get more space to update my iPhone 4 to iOS7? I am currently on iOS 6.1.3 with 6.3 GB capacity, 1.4 GB available AFTER deleting all apps, photos, music, and videos, and I need 3.8 GB.

Update using iTunes on your computer. The space requirement does not apply because of how the process works via iTunes as opposed to over the air.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and videos and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

Help using ipod for photos, music, and video

Guys, I received an IPOD classic 80gig months ago with a college class that I took. I thought it was really neat at the time as I could watch the videos. However, now I'm so glad that it came free with the class and honestly can't understand how anyone can figure out how to operate it. I have photos, music, and videos that I would love to download to the IPOD and watch but after months of reading and rereading the IPOD features guide, I still have no clue how to do it? I'm a college graduate, made the Dean's list. Smart guy, doesn't seem to help me. The features guide will tell you to go to this folder, etc, BUT when I plug my IPOD in there are only like 4 folders that exist! Where are those folders that they are talking about?? I downloaded some photos on my computer into a folder, dragged and dropped them onto my ipod and when I turn the ipod on it says NO PHOTOS!! Same thing happened with my videos and my music? I have a relative in a nursing home who wants me to show her some family photos. I wanted to IPOD those photos and bring them to her. Can't figure it out! Audiobooks??? No way I'll ever figure out how to do that! Are you guys ALL BRAIN SCIENTISTS OR WHAT???

Thanks Neil, for trying to help me put. I actually figured out how to use the notes. I couldn't believe it worked. I was disappointed to see my notes "cut off" as I guess it has a 4000 character limit, I believe it is. Maybe I'll do a search for itunes software on google and try to figure it out. I don't know if the itunes software is free. You know, not for nothing Neil, but I'm suprised an IPOD classic costs over $250.00 and all they give you is a quick start guide. You have to go to the internet to find a copy of the features guide. That's like buying a new car and not getting an owners manual with it. Odd. Thanks again for trying to help me out.

Why does a ringtone sync want to remove all my music and video

I downloaed an app to make a ringtone from my music on my iphone 4
I made the ringtone and got it onto the desktop of my laptop then into the itunes ringtones folder but if i try to then sync it onto the iphone i am prompted that it will remove all the music and video from the iphone.
What setting do i have here that won't allow me to add a ringtone sync without clearing my iphone?
If its not a setting how do i get around it?

Thanks very much
I've just realised what a nugget I've been for not just trying that last night.
I drag and drop all my music and video so why not drag and drop this also.
I would be merciless in my teasing of someone for this very thing so feel free to give it to me loads.

Migrated with time machine. Had all programs, photos, music, etc. Today all photos, music and some programs disappeared. updated with the new software fix. Can I do the migration from time machine again?

I migrated from old machine with Leopard to new machine with Lion. After migration, I had all photos, music, applications, etc. This morning there is no music, no photos and missing programs. I have now downloaded the fix they put out yesterday. Can I simply redo a new migration from Time Machine to get those things back?

Monty,
If you used Migration Assistant what has probably occurred is it created another user account. Log out of your current account and see if there is another account, if so log into that one and see if your information is there.

Help: iTunes wants to delete all my music and videos off of my iPhone!

I usually keep the option to manually manage music and videos on my iPhone. I only use 1 pc to transfer music and movies to and from my iPhone. Recently for some reason when I launched iTunes, an error message kept poping up repeatedly saying "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved." I fixed the error message by adjusting the user access privileges to my music folder.
Now my music library is completely empty in iTunes, but that shouldn't be a problem because I manually manage my music and videos. However, when I checked the iPhone page in iTunes, the checkbox for manually manage music and videos is unchecked.
So I went to go check the check box so that I can continue to add some more music and videos to my iPhone, however a message box pops up saying:
"The iPhone "my iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
I have about 12 gigs worth of music and videos which I have carefully hand picked over a period of about 3 months and now iTunes wants to delete all of it because it thinks I want to "sync with another library". I only hope someone can understand how frustrating this is for me. All I want to do is continue to be able to add music and videos to my iPhone without having to erase months worth of work putting the current music I have on there. Can anyone help me?

Thanks for your reply. I don't keep all of my music in the iTunes' designated music folder. I don't like the way iTunes reorganizes my songs and I keep all my music in my own self organized music folders as I don't use iTunes as my primary media application. Not to mention allot of my files come from all different corners of my computer's hard drive. It would literally take months to go through over 20 gigs of media files to pick out the songs I have in my iPhone library to rebuild an iTunes library. Like i said, I don't even use iTunes other than to transfer files to my iPhone. I thought the purpose of manually managing the files was so you don't have to sync it with the iTunes library but now it won't give my that option without requiring me to delete everything on my phone I worked so hard on.
What I don't understand is logically or technically why iTunes HAS to delete all the content off of my iphone. Who's decision in the Apple's software engineering department was to require the one's iPhone to be erased if someone loses their iTunes library? Its frustrating because it makes no sense and I feel as if the software is punishing me for reasons I don't understand by threatening to delete all my content off my phone. Is there absolutely no way to transfer my music to my iPhone without deleting everything currently on and completely rebuilding my music library from scratch?

Delete content, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?

iPod deletes all music and videos, I synced it with iTunes, but after some time it deletes again.

To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

When i plug my ipod up, itunes says it has all the music and videos, but when i unplug it to listen to them, it says it has nothing on it

I just had to reover my Ipod original and now im moving all of my music and videos back onto it, and when i have it plugged into Itunes, everything shows up on the ipod. when i unplug it though, it says i have no videos, music, etc. help? I don't want to lose this thing, it was too expensive.

Hello kittypie,
You may need to restore your iPod to factory defaults.

How Do I Include all my Music and Videos?

I use a mid 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks; iTunes 12.1.2.27. I have some of my music and videos on iTunes; I have other music and videos playing on VLC; and I some videos on some other player. How can I play all my videos and all my music on iTunes?

Drag the media files to the library in the open iTunes application window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. Some file types won't play in iTunes natively; if you need to convert them, use a product such as MPEG Streamclip.

Itunes deleted most of my music and videos!

HELP!
I was watching a movie in my itunes last night. It froze so I re-started my computer then iTunes started re-opening. It started by "verifying" something and I stupdily stopped it. Once iTunes finally opened it had deleted all my movies and most of my music (about 40G worth of music...)
The other weird thing is that my HD still has the same amount of space used on it.
Can anyone help?
I'd rather not re-load all my CD's again

Had you not synced your iPod the user tip Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device might have been more useful, but there are links in there which should point you in the direction of your purchase history.
This migrate iTunes library post gives you an idea of what you should have done. For the future keep a backup of your library and never delete the old library until you've proved the new one is working properly on the new computer.
If you've not done too much with the drive on the old computer since you deleted the media, then an undelete tool might recover most of them. FreeRecover looks like a promising free tool for this... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted from the iTunes folder that has a good integrity score.
