Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music

I lost all my music and my itunes isnt reading that my ipod is hooked up to the computer

Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music
The answer to that is yes... Having the data on the device alone is a recipe for disappointment.

  • My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • If you're trying use your hotspot and connected to wifi on your iphone, does the wifi stop working and start using your data instead of staying connected to the wifi?

    Thanks for the quick response. What you have said makes sense but there is no rhyme or reason to he data used. I reset my cellular data counter to zero so both sent and received read zero. I was connected to wifi and let the phone to go into sleep mode. I waited about ten minutes and sent myself the same email four times, each with a 750 kb attachment. It was sent to my .me address so it was push mail on my phone. Sure enough I checked a minute later while bringing the phone out of sleep mode and checked the data. It showed just 10kb sent but 1mb received which just doesn't tally with the 4 x 750kb mails received. It just isn't making sense.
    He knows what you asked and has already answered it!
    I thought I had read where the iOS4 (or maybe just the iPhone 4) was supposed to be able to keep wifi connections alive while inactive. If the phone is sitting there on a charger with a wifi connection available, why use the 3G?

    thank you,

    To give you something, I need something too, like
    How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
    Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
    What do you see on the iPod screen?
    My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
    Have a nice day!

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • ITunes stopped working and now all of my apps for my iPhone and half of my music is gone. How do I get it all back?

    I've recently upgraded to an iPhone 5, I had just restored my old iPhone 4 to its original settings while listening to my music. When that was finished I plugged my new phone in and I had an error message pop up saying "iTunes has stopped working" and had to close it. When I reopened iTunes all of my apps for my phone were gone along with half of my music library. The only music I have left are the albums I have downloaded the rest is gone. I closed and reopened iTunes several times and got the same message each time.
    I have music and apps on the phone which will not transfer back to iTunes. All iTunes does is ask if I wan't to delete the music on my phone and sync with the library........ silly question really as half of the music in the library is gone!
    I have been using iTunes for many years now and this is the first time I have seen an error such as this. Can anyone tell me how to restore my library to the same as it was? I have fixed the "iTunes has stopped working" issue and would like my music and apps back.

    See this post.

  • Will someone tell me what happen to my play list and how I can restore or get it back!  Apparently, apple for the second time to screw up and delete all my music again!!!

    Just sync it from your iTunes library.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Firefox loads for approx. a week then stops working and has to be downloaded again

    For the past month or so when I try to get into Firefox it will not load. I will download Firefox and it will work for a few days and then stop working again and I have to re-download again. If this doesn't stop I will try another web browser.

    Are you using cleanup or security software that runs once a week that could be causing this?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • I hooked my ipod to a different computer and lost all my music files. Any way of getting them back?

    Hey, I haven't had a computer for a few months so I hooked up to another computer to get updates and while syncing on itunes I lost all of my music files. I can't find them on the computer or ipod. Anybody know if I can get them back?

    If the music was loaded from CDs then unfortunately not, unless you have access to the old computer or the CDs themselves.
    If the music was purchased from iTunes and your iPod is running the current version of the software then you can go into the iTunes app on the iPod and there is a purchased section where you can re-download music you have already purchased at no cost.

  • I updated my ipod and lose all my music

    how do i get my music back on my ipod lose it all.

    If you do have your iTunes content stored in a backup somewhere, on your iPod, or the hard drive it was originally on is no longer available, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases again via iCloud using the instructions in this link.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For all other non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to rerip or redownload them from their original source.
    For the future, consider making backups of your iTunes library or your entire PC.

  • I put some music on my ipod from a friends pc and then all my music got away and when i want to sync my ipod with my own music it deletes all the music i got by my friend how to avoid that

    well the story is in the title its very anoying please help me

    You have no legal right to any content you got from your friend, so we cannot help you here since you are performing an illegal act. You need to go out and buy your own copies of that music, either from the iTunes Store, another download store, or on CDs. Then you will be easily able to sync that music to your iPod.
    Otherwise, allow the iPod to be erased. You can then put on the music you legally own.
    Regards.

  • My ipod touch has stopped working and i bought alot of songs on it, how do i get them on itunes when i have newly downloaded it on my computer

    I was going to update the ipod touch to see if it would update the battery power, however it won't actually turn on now... and i have spent alot of money on songs and I want them back how can I get them?

    That's why it is recommended that you sync the device with iTunes regularly, to backup your content purchased on the mobile device.  iTunes music is purchased as a one time download, and it is up to the purchaser to make backups of their purchases.
    If you have not sync'd the iPod Touch and have no backup, and it won't even power up, I think you may just be out of luck.

  • My touchpad just randomely stopped working and i dont know why? can someone please help me.

    i was using a plug in mouse and now i cant use my touchpad even when the mouse is unplugged. i have a hp pavillion gseries. can someone please help me, i dont like carrying a mouse around with me everywhere i take my laptop.

    Well, if you updated to 8.2, then you are living in a different world than the rest of us. 8.1 was just released on Monday.
    Do you not have an iCloud or iTunes backup that you can restore to? Have you not been importing your photos to a photo library on your computer?
    Maybe you could start from the beginning and we can see if we can help. If you had to restore your device, and you have absolutely no backups, then, I'm afraid you are out of luck. However, if you have backups, or if you have been importing your photos on a regular basis, then probably most of your stuff can be recovered.
