Your music should be on your computer in itunes, and should be apart of the regularly backup you make of your computers files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Just sync it back to the ipod.
How did you get the music on the ipod in the first place?

    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.

    Do you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    A 1G can only go to 3.1.3
    A 3G only to 5.1.1

  • HT201210 Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! Someone please help.

    Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! I payed for a lot of my apps, and my photos are just too important. Someone please help!

    If rhe apps and photos are that important you made sure that you took the steps in order to keep them safe in an event like this didn't you?
    You did backup the iPad before you decided to update the iPad correct?
    And you did transfer all of your apps and other purchases  into iTunes before you decided to update correct?
    If you did, just restore the iPad and then restore from the backup at the end of fhe process and follow that with a sync with iTunes and you will lose nothing,
    Now if you didn't do any of the precautionary steps ....

    For the poster, try here if it is your problem.
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    HOwever, if you rerestored to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem then that points to hardware damaged caused by the water. Service is required.

    You can have one icloud account and a different itunes account on the phone. I have my icloud account and a shared itunes account. He does not have to use the new icloud account as is ID in itunes and app store. He can keep using the old one.

  • Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

    Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

    Depends on what the source of the music is (iTunes purchases, ripped CDs, etc.), and whether you are syncing to iTunes on a computer. As for simply sharing music directly from the iPhone to the iPod, no, you cannot.

  • I got busy over the new year and forgot to purchase Applecare for my iPhone.  30 days past purchase date is too late - right?

    Thanks Peter.  I thought about that and had discounted the idea but since I am only 30 minutes away from my A store, I think I'll give it a try. I can be charming specially when I wear clean jeans and a nice top. :-)

    Content acquired with an Apple ID is permanently tied to that ID.
    There is no reason to create a new Apple ID, frankly that will just create more issues.
    It is possible to load content from multiple Apple ID's onto a single device.  If the content is in the computer that the device syncs with, simply select the content and sync it.

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • IPod got erased, and now won't connect to computer

    I've had my Third Generation iPod for well over a year, and it's been fine up until this past month. It's been doing odd things, like freezing up and randomnly muting songs all month. When this has happened, I've just reset it, and it's gone back to normal. This morning, I started to play one of my playlists, and the iPod just flipped through the titles of each song, and then closed as if the playlist had finished. I tried resetting it, and all of my files got erased. When I tried to hook it up to my computer, the computer froze. The iPod still turns on, and seems to be working, but there are no files. iTunes and my computer won't recognise it, so what should I do? I've tried switching USB ports and restarted the iPod several times, even in disk mode. Nothing works. Out of curiosity, I went to the About menu on the iPod, and it says I only have 6 out of 20GB left. This was the amount that I had left when there were songs on it, but now there aren't. How can this be?

    no my ipod's not recognised by my computer or any other program on my computer. so the only thing i have'nt tried is restore-in my ipod as it doesnt appear in itunes at all and i dont no how else i could do it. i have tried to make it work on both my old computer and my brand new so therefore its not a disk drive problem and i cant fix that even if it was because it doesnt appear in the disk managment section either..
    _when i run a diagnostic this is what comes up._

  • Ipod Touch 5.1.1 update lock and volume buttons wont work.

    So I just updated my ipod touch 4G to the ios 5.1.1 version and ever since my volume and lock buttons aren't working/responding. The funny thing is, a lot of people are posting the same question but they get the same answer from the same person that says to hold the lock and home button when everybody specifally states that the lock and volume buttons aren't working so those answers are useless. I tried resetting all the settings to factory from the settings menu but still the same problem. What should I do? Is it a bug for every new updater?

    Try changing the DNS server on the iPod. See:
