Lost all my music on IPhone 4

Hi all...I'll try to set the scene as quickly as possible
I originally used Itunes and Iphone on computer #1
I bought a new computer #2, and set up my old computer in my sons room
Computer #1 developed a problem with connecting to the internet, if I try it somehow stuffs up the router and prevents computer #1 from connecting, as computer #2 is my work computer I dont want to do that until I get someone to take a look at computer # 1
In the meantime I downloaded itunes onto computer 2 (my work pc), but I didnt transfer my music over from computer #1
Then I went overseas, I downloaded some free games via wifi, this somehow stuiffed up the earpeice on my iphone and I couldnt hear people talking to me. Searched for a solution and was told to reset factory settings and save my music etc 1st. To be on the safe side I transferred my itunes library from computer # 1 onto a USB drive
After I reset my settings all my apps/games appeared fine on my iphone, but no music! I tried pluggiong my iphone back into computer#1 where all the music is stored, but itunes says it cant work with iphone because it needs to download a new version of Itunes
I guess what Im really asking is how do I get Itunes on computer#2 to recognise and download the songs on the USB drive? I can see Itunes on the USB, but when I open it and go to LIBRARY/Music....all I see is about 7/8 of my songs...as well as a few other songs I dont recognise "Bob Acri?". But even those songs...I cant drag them over to the device (iphone)
Synching and transferring vis the file menu doesn seem, to be doing anything
totally stumped and sans_music please help

3rd paragraph should read
Computer #1 developed a problem with connecting to the internet, if I try it somehow stuffs up the router and prevents computer #2 from connecting

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy. Can anyone help

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

Lost all my music in my iphone after update

have a iphone 3G that i updated today.. lost all my music that was on my iphone(ipod) how do I get it back?
I am trying also to take the music from my ipod and import to iphone.. how can I do this.

try changing your appleID to whatever you were using when you were acessing the UK store. Then try to re-download the purchased music. I am not sure if re-downloading music works from the UK store, however. It might be US only. If this is the case, you will need to contact iTunes support.

I update my 3G iphone to the ISO 5.0 and now I lost all the music that I had downloaded from my CD's but i still have the muisc that i had purchased. how can i get my CD music on my phone?

for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
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.
for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

Why did you restore without transferring your music to your computer?
If you are in the U.S., then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get your music.

I just updated my iphone to the ios 5 system and I lost all my music, however i also just puchased an imac desktop today and somewhom i can not seem to find my music in my libray on itunes either!!!
Help!

Where did the content come from to begin with? It should all be in the iTunes library on your computer.
Did you fail to use some basic intelligence and ensure there was a backup of the device prior to updating it?

The hard drive on my laptop died, so i have lost all my music. It is saved on my iphone, is there any way to transfer it across onto my new laptop? Or does itunes keep a record of my purchases?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

I just updated my iphone, but have lost all my musics I purchased from itunes.

Depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download it for free : re-downloading. Otherwise, have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup that you can use to re-sync them to the iPhone ?

After updating the software on my iphone to 4s i lost all my music

I only download my music from my phone and have never had a computer to sync my music with. I recently just purchased a mac but it has all my sons music on it. So when I went to update my phone I lost all my music, I thought it had synced with my itunes but i guess not, is there any way i can retrieve my music without having to pay for it all over again?

The iphone is desigend to be sycned to a computer regularly. It said that it would delete everything when you updated.
If you have failed to bakup your music, not good, then redownload it:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

DId you fail to make sure that all of your music was on your computer before updating?
If so, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
