ITUNES ERASED MY SONGS. PLEASE HELP

I had gotten some songs from Limewire and I wanted to put them in my dad's ipod mini because I lost my ipod at an airport.
When i opened itunes everything was erased-my (and my dad's) songs,music videos and playlists.Everything.
I plugged in the ipod and 3 options came up
Cancel
Erase and Sync
and Transfer purchaces
I pressed Tranfer purchases and my dad's ipod started to put the music that i bought into my itunes libraby.
I'm okay with that because most of my music was bought but my dad's music is still lost.
How can i find my dad's mucic?
Windows XP

ok the same thing happened to me i pluged in my ipod into my new laptop and i choose sync songs or whatever the option is and it erased all of my songs and i have no idea what to do

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy!

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
- Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
- reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

You could try repairing permissions with disk utility, I don't think you will have the option to repair the drive but you could verify it.
This may help you delete the files that DU made but did not remove when erasing the free space.

When you get your SL disk it will not have the iLife applications, that would have been on the second install disk that should have been with the computer. I forget which version of iLife you will need for SL but I think it is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iLife-Single-User-Mac/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1409607702&sr=8-1&keywords=apple+ilife+11
A search of the forums will confirm or deny this.
As to whether a clean install will cure your problem, i.e. partition the HDD and install I would expect it to be yes, but there are no guarantees it is an old machine.

Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod? If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G. If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1.

How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Try this repair for Keynote 6.2, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1
delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2
empty the trash: Finder > Empty Trash
3
Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4
when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
5
when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
6
install Keynote from the Mac App Store
let us know if this helped

Update your safari. Install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569
The itunes store relies on certain components of safari, regardless of if you use it or not.

What to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

what to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

Do you get any specific error messages? Double-check the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If both Macs are on the same network, enable homesharing, you can then import music from one to the other without affecting what's already on there.

Downloaded update on ipod on wifi 0.6 could not sync with computer as it did not recognise my ipod on itunes but could not download 0.6 off itunes it doesnt seem to be on itunes suggested web page, please help

downloaded itunes 0.6 on my ipod over wifi, however when connected to my computer it would not recognise my ipod and suggested i went to www.itunes .com/uk but could not find or download 6, so now cannot sync my ipod with itunes on my computer, please help cheers.

By wiping both iPhone and iPod and trying syncing with another computer I've come to the conclusion that something with MobileMe sync is the problem.
I can set up both to work fine with my Mac Pro and a new Mac Book Pro as long as I don't set up MobileMe syncing. As soon as I sync with MobileMe I start having problems, particularly with Calendar.
MobileMe seems to work fine computer to computer, until the iPhone/iPod get involved, then the MobileMe copy gets messed up. Version on computer seems to stay ok.
Not sure where to go from here... other than call Apple or go to the Apple Store.

My ipod keeps asking me to restore and when i do restore it just restarts and asks me to connect to itunes and starts again.please help its my sons bday and this is his present

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
