ITunes 12 just deleted all my music on my iPod touch 5

I have and iPod touch 5 32 GB, running iOS 8.2. I plugged it into my computer running itunes 12. i added an album (which is what i do every once in a while. hey, i like to update my preference in music which I'm sure everyone else does.) so after it adds the music against each and every song theres the   sign indicating that that song isn't there on my iPod. i go through my list and sure enough, its there against all my songs. I don't sync my music, i manage it manually. i unplug my device and sure enough, there's nothing there. any solutions? i had about 2000 songs (i know it's not a lot but i have a very specific taste in music.) my only option seems to be painstakingly tracking down all my music again and adding it. why would iTunes do this? it's never done before.

Just create and new ID

  • When I sync my ipod classic with iTunes it deletes all the music on my ipod

    Hi everyone, I have an ipod classic 160GB and when I try to sync it with iTunes to put things like TV shows ect it deletes all the music off of my iPod (which is over 400 songs) so I have to put it all back on using another program and then when I try to use iTunes again it deletes everything. Sometimes when I put podcasts on it just deletes the music but not the podcasts, or it'll decide to the opposite. Recently it deleted all of my music and videos and just left the podcasts.
    Your help is greatly appreciated,
    thank you

    Hello qz0rz213,
    It would seem that iTunes has encountered or developed an issue in the process of trying to sync photos to your device. The best place to start would be removing the iPod Photo Cache (thus allowing for a new version to be created).
    Note: Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    If the issue is not resolved by removing the iPod Photo Cache, the following article goes into further steps that can both help you determine the source of this trouble and eliminate it.
    Symptoms
    In certain situations, iTunes may display an alert or may be unable to sync photos to an iPod or iOS device. Examples include:
    After updating iOS, iTunes displays an alert that there is not enough room to sync photos
    This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
    This article outlines steps to resolve these issues.

  • How do I delete all my music from my ipod touch?

    I'm tired of all my songs from my IPOD touch.  I want to delete all the music from it.  How do I do it?

    Go into iTunes and hit Restore. It will blat the Touch.

    Slightly less radical would be to uncheck the "Sync Music" button on the Music tab or choose new songs to sync to it

    i just bought a new iphone 4 and irecieved my itouch last christmas & it has ALL my songs on it which are not in my itunes so how can itransfer all my music rom my ipod touch to my iphone ?

    You have to move your songs on your iPod touch to iTunes, then synch your iPhone to that iTunes library.  No other way to do this

  • How do I delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch?

    I'm giving my iPod touch to my grandson and want to delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch. These have been synched from Mobile Me (.Mac). I've unchecked the synch contact box in the setting section of iTunes, but the contacts do not get deleted. (Also, I want to be careful not to accidentally delete them from my .Mac contact list in the process.) I successfully removed my music and photos in this manner, but the contacts are not being deleted. Advice would be appreciated.

    Connect the Touch to iTunes and click the Restore button. After the Touch is erased and the OS is re-loaded, you'll have the option to load your last backup or set it up as a new iPod (which is what you want).
    Alternatively, you can simply use the built-in utility. On the Touch go to Settings/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. That may actually take longer than Restoring though.

  • HT1848 How do I tranfers playlist and all my music from my IPOD Touch to my pc?

    How do I tranfer playlist and all my music from my Ipod Touch to my pc?

    Simply select only the Music that you want to sync to the iPad in iTunes. I assume that you auto sync.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it does not start on its own. Assuming that you do auto sync, let the process complete. Click on your iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Music Tab in the iTunes window on the right side. Click on all of the albums, playlist, artists, - whatever - that you want to sync to the iPad, uncheck the music that you do not want to sync, make sure that the Sync Music heading is selected - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    The content should have been copied from the old computer to the new computer or at the very least from the backup of the old computer.

  • Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone.

  • HT1351 I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....

    Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things.  You either sync or manually manage.
    Manually manage is drag and drop.
    Sync is when you select what you want and then sync.

  • How can I sync my iPad3 with my new computer's itunes without deleting all my music?

    When I try to sync my music from my iTunes to my iPad3, itunes says that it will delete all my music, movies, etc currently on my iPad with what I have on my current iTunes. I have music and movies on here from at least one other computer using the same Apple ID. I was able to just highlight and drag all my music to my iPad (which caused a lot of duplicates), but my itunes really just does not want to cooperate with my iPad. Everything I try to do it just wants to either delete what I already have or not work at all.

    You can sync your iOS device with a single iTunes Library. So if you sync your iPad with your present iTunes library all the music and videos would be deleted.
    You can always transfer the media from your old iTunes library to the new one if they are on different commuter using a USB drive and then add those media to the new iTunes library and sync your iPad then.

  • ITunes 7.0 erased deleted all the music on my ipod

    I can't find a way to ask this directly to iTunes since there is no contact email or phone, and I can't find it addressed in their support pages so I am trying to address it here. WHY does upgrading to iTunes 7.0 erase all the music on the ipod without any warning?
    It is not limited to a certain operating system, or type of iPod.
    I am one of the many people who encountered this:

    If you read these posts, we are not newbies - we know how to synch, update, backup, etc.
    Why does it happen, how can it be avoided?

    Hey T Smith,
    Just upgrading to the newest version of iTunes(7.1) should not change the contents of the iPod in any way.
    If you are changing the way the iPod is updated or updating with another computer that may erase the contents of the iPod. Before anything is erased from the iPod you will see a message like described in article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61675 .
    You can always leave the iPod in a Manual Mode which will not erase anything from the iPod but let you update the iPod with multiple computers.
    You can leave feedback for the iTunes application online here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
