Ske7ch,
There's another alternative but I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn an important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
And it's only a matter of time before that will happen. Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
Anyways, that's the lecture. What's the other alternative?
Have a look at:

Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • I just got a new Macbook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and lost all my songs on my iPod.  How do I get them back?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and noticed all my songs didn't transfer, including the 6 new ones I just purchased.  I then brought it back to my PC to sync, and lost all my songs on my iPod.  I'm now receiving all kinds of weird messages that the name of my iPod is a duplicate and cannot be synced (no matter what I put in it).  During the process of loading it on my Mac., a bunch of odd emails were popping up to sync.  I just kept deleting and adding mine.  Is it corrupted? What have I done??? I am a personal trainer and live by my iPod.  Please help.

    Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
    Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
    If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
    In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
    Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
    Connect the iPod to the Mac
    Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
    Set it to Manually Manage Music
    Sync your selected songs in your library.
    Whern sync complete, Eject it
    Connect it to your Windows PC.
    Select the song in the library
    Sync it.
    It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
    Good luck!

  • Help, lost all the songs on my iPod when checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window.

    Help, I lost all the songs on my iPod when I deleted a few songs from my iTunes Library, checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window, and then tried to Autofill. Note that I do not purchase songs from iTunes, but rather I rip songs off my own cd's and then transfer the mp3 files to iTunes.  And after I transfer mp3 files from my pc to iTunes and then Autofill, I generally delete those files from my pc.
    I can still see the songs in my iTunes Library, but not on my iPod.  Is there a way that I can salvage them and get them back on my iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well you will have to wait to connect you ipod to the orignal computer and it will put all your songs back on to it.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and plugged it into itunes on my computer for teh first time. Only to discover my sister has obviously plugged hers into my itunes account and now I have lost all my photos and numbers. Please help me!!

    I have an iPhone 4 and plugged it into itunes on my computer for the first time. Only to discover my sister has obviously plugged hers into my itunes account and now I have lost all my photos and numbers. Please help me!!

    It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
    If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

  • Hello - I am trying to sync my ipod touch with itunes and I have done many times and now today I am getting error message 13019. I have listened to all the suggestions of how to fix it from apple and now I lost all my music off my ipod. HELP?

    Hello - I have been getting error message 13019 all afternoon and I have never had that before. I have listened to all the suggestions on this site and nothing has helped. And know I have lost all the music off my ipod (luckily it is still on itunes) I really need this figured out asap since I leave on vacation in 4 days! Please somebody help. I have never had so many issues

  • Cant see songs on my ipod. please help.

    Hello to all reading this, and thank you for lending me your time. first: please note that i did do all that i can (restoring, updating, formating, reseting, checking the discussions for s solution, asking friends, and so on) before handing my problem to the forum & my ipod is up-to-date with the latest version 1.4.1. Now, let me get straight to the point:
    1) A couple of weeks ago i updated my iTunes to the latest version (i think it was version 7 or 7.1, not completely sure). Everything was working fine, everything was going great but after a couple of days something that i have never seen before appeared, the most horrible message i have ever received from a software before popped infront of my eyes as my iTunes opened, "...your ipod appears to be corrupt...". At first i didnt take it seriously because i thought a little restoring and reconnecting will solve the problem but i was sooo wrong. I did all that i could have done, reconnect, restore, update, format, "chk" the "dsk" if you know what im saying. succesfully that problem was over when i succesfully fixed it after a series of different tries, everyday!
    2) By fixing the first problem i thought, "oh, now all i gotta do is just sync all my songs again and start doing what i do best, listen to my music, full time!". Again, i was wrong. So i left my ipod to sync all my songs then came back to it after a while with a joyful "ipod update complete" message infront of my face. And as i checked on my ipod on the sources list it was true, all my songs were on my ipod, then i also checked in the ipod itself via "My Computer" and found a series of some coded and some recognizable songs on it. When i disconnected my ipod though, the apple logo appeared and keeps on appearing as if i have reseted it and when i browse the ipod, i donnot see anything, it appears completely song free when iTunes says i am currently using 2.90 GB of my 3.77 GB with a list of all the songs on my ipod available and 45 MB of other, also windows says that 2.93 GB is used from my ipod. When i check the information on the "About" located in my ipod, it tells me that i have 0 songs, 87.3 MB capacity and 169 MB available.
    * please help me if you can, i will be very thankful because this problem has been driving me craaazy! i actually sit on the computer and try to fix it for a long time. oh, and my warranty = finished!

    The songs being "greyed out" indicate that your Nano is set to autosync with iTunes. If you wish to remain on autosync, then you will have to delete from iTunes first, then re-sync your Nano. If you wish to maintain the files in iTunes, then you will have to change your iPod preferences to manually manage.

    wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
    No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
    If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

  • Please help-i lost all my songs on my ipod

    Hi,

    i was listening to my ipod last night on my speakers, and this morning i have tried to listen to it again and all the songs have disappeared. my hard drive on my computer recently crashed and i had to download itunes again. i had plugged my ipod in it with no problems and listened to music after that but now evrything keeps telling me i have 3 songs on it( i don't even know what these songs are- i never loaded them on). I had a few photos on the ipod that are still there but no songs.
    Please help - where are my songs and can i get them back
    Thanks

  • I lost all my songs in my ipod Nano 6th gen. when attempting to transfer from old lybrary to new. Can I get them back?

    I lost all my old library in my ipod Nano 6th gen when trying to understand how to sync to new laptop. Can I get them back?

    If they are gone, then your question is answered.
    If you synced your ipod to a different computer, then the current content of the ipod would be erased.
    You cannot sync the music from the ipod to the computer.  It sync from the comptuer to the ipod.
    If the music is gone, then it is gone.
    Not sure how you think this didn't help you.
    Your music is only where you put it.  If you synced your ipod to another computer, erasing the ipod, then the music is not on the ipod any longer.
    Not sure what else you are looking for.

  • 80GB iPod Classic looks to have deleted all my songs after iTunes update - please help!!!

    I know there have been topics about this in the past, but I haven't found a solution to my particular case in any of them. So I'm sorry that this topic may seem redundant, but I really need help.
    I have an 80GB iPod classic I bought 5+ years ago. It has been running fine for months. After I downloaded and installed the new iTunes upgrade however, when I connected the iPod it gave me the message "iTunes cannot read the contents of .... iPod. Please restore etc". I really don't want to have to restore it and lose my music, as it is almost full of music, much of which is hard to find. I don't often back up my library (I know, I know), but I have one from a few months ago I can use if I really have to (it'll be better than starting completely over), but I don't know where that would be saved on my computer. My music isn't saved in another folder so simply restoring and putting the music back into my iPod isn't an option either.
    I am running Windows XP home edition if that helps with solutions.
    Please help me, I really don't want to have to start my music collection from scratch.

    I did a mistake

  • Updated iTunes and now can't remove songs from my iPod - please help

    I've updated iTunes to version 11.0.0.163 and have an iPod Nano 16gb 5th generation.
    In iTunes, I'm no longer able to manually select songs to remove them from my iPod - I can't even see the list of music that's on my iPod. The only option it gives me is to sync, and I don't want to do that. Before I upgraded iTunes, it was easy to move music between my iPod and iTunes, now I can't - what's happened?
    My iPod is full so I want to remove some music, not all of it. Any advice? Please help - I'm going round in circles!
    Thanks

    Ctrl + B for show Top Menu

    itunes will now look more like itunes 10.

    You may prefer to use the Music Sync page to select or deselect Playlists, Artists, Albums etc and click apply.
    Delete your files is enabled by ticking the Manualy manage music option on the Device Summary page. You may have to scroll down to find it

  • Lost all ability to connect to internet - Please Help!!

    This evening, opened my MBP 2010 and found that my networks will not connect to internet.  It says I'm connected to wifi but nothing will load, no apps that require network connection, safari, nothing.  Tried ethernet cable which says connected with DHCP when I'm looking at network prefs, but no connection of any kind.  I have a Verizon Fios router with Time Capsule (most recent version from Jan 2012) creating a separate network and a AEBS and Airport Express extending that network throughout the house.  No problems of any significance (that couldn't be solved with turning router on and off) in the past.  Of note, my wife's Macbook Air (which I'm typing this email on) is having NO problems connecting to either the Verizon network or the Airport network.  On my MBP, I get neither.  I have tried deleting the networks from Network Prefs and adding back but they just will not connect.  Is there a way to completely reset my network prefs and start over?  Do I need to do that?  How can I have one Macbook that connects to everything and another that can't connect to anything.  Both are running 10.7.4 and have similar software installed.  I tried booting in SAFE MODE and get the same results.  I even get the exclamation mark inside the wifi symbol on my menu bar for both of them.  WHAT THE HECK is going on??!!?  PLEASE HELP!!!

    OK, I understand that you can connect to the Verizon router using an Ethernet connection and wireless does not work.
    I also understand that you have deleted all of the network listings in System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced.
    Please check again to make sure that all of the listings are cleared out. Be sure to click OK and then Apply when you do this.
    Next, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
    Look for any listing with the name of the Verizon wireless network. Click on that listing to highlight it, then click the Delete key on your Mac.
    Then do the same for any of the wireless networks that are provided by the Apple devices.
    Close KeyChain Access and restart your Mac.
    See if you can log on to the Verizon wireless network now. You should be asked for the password to connect, if you successfully deleted the old networks and the listings for the password in KeyChain Access.
