Lost music..... replaced my ipod touch 2g for itouch 3g running iOS 5.1.1

I replaced my ipod touch 2g for a 3g and update it to iOS 5.1.1. I had no problem updating but I also discovered I lost some of my music from reseting my computer. Is there a way I can get my music back? also is there a way I can get my third-party music back?

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If the non-iTunes purchases are on the old iPod you can copy them to your computer by:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
and then sync them to your new iPod.

  • Recovering lost music using my ipod touch

    i run a multi-harddrive system. I lost the hardrive that had my music on it.
    All of my music still shows on itunes but when i try to play it, it says cant find file path.
    All of my music is still on my Ipod touch, but im afaid to connect it to my computer. Because all the music is gone.
    Is thier a way to recover all my music from my ipod????
    also what about the Back up that itunes, automatically does just before each sync?

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear you're having HD problems.
    To find out about retrieving your music from your Touch search posts by "Zevoneer" eg. here - [Click Here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0]
    The "Back Up" performed by iTunes is a little misleading, it actually only backs up preferences and settings but not you content.
    The lesson from this situation is not to trust all of your valuable music to only one HD, have at least one other HD back up (they are cheap these days) and periodically back up your music files to CD or DVD.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

  • My GameCenter scores update briefly and then revert to scores from the past.  This is happening on an iPad 2, an iPad Retina and on an iPod touch 5.  I'm running iOS 6.1.3 on all three.

    for the past week or so my Gamecenter leaderboard scores for several games get posted briefly for about 15-20 minutes, and then revert to older scores.  I've tried signing out and back in to GameCenter, but no chance.  I 've also rebooted, but  that doesn't help.  I usually play on an iPad 2, but also use an Pad 3, or an iPod touch 5.
    The GameCenter is just a useless app if it can't display proper scores. and I 'm way too old to try to restart these games from scratch.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I've received a lot of complains from my users recently. Scores are reverted to some old value with no reason. Apple technical support incident didn't work, they say it's not a code level question. Should be something wrong with gamecenter servers data sync. I would appreciate any advise, not sure how to move forward with the issue.

  • My computer broke and I lost my ipod touch at the same time. Then I put all of my new music on my nano. Then I found my ipod touch. How do I get the music from the ipod touch to the computer and also keep the music I bought for the nano?

    I have an ipod touch and an ipod nano. I also used to have a laptop but, it quit working and I no longer have it. I had all of my music on my laptop. So, I had to buy a new desktop. I lost my ipod touch at around the same time. I had all of my music on the ipod touch that was from my laptop. So in thye meantime I started using my nano more. I bought new songs on my desktop for my nano. Then I found my ipod touch. I would like to be able to keep both the somgs I have now on my ipod touch and the ones that I already bought on the desktop. What do I do?

    No.
    All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
    When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
    The same applies here.

    Thanks for answer

    If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery.  Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up.  If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

  • I bought games and music on my ipod touch and then bought a new mac, but i updated my ipod on the new mac and lost all of my games and music and they arent on my computer or my ipod touch:( The apps i bought are not on my old computer either!! please help

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

  • Can apple replace my ipod touch for free if its stops working

    can apple replace my ipod touch for free if its stops working, because i havn't had it even for one year yet.

    As long as it's under warranty (The warranty is 1 year unless you have AppleCare) they will replace it for free if the iPod had an issue that was not caused by you.
    Apple will replace an iPod that is still under warranty if it has a manufacturing defect. That's not the same thing.

  • I'm lost with my new "used" iPod touch 4th gen.  Just downloaded iOS 6; seems to be trying to access a WIFI signal but I have it hard wired into my MAC and I do not have WIFI.  Need iPod for dummies.

    On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

  • When buying an Ipod Touch,just for music, how do you gauge which capacity machine you need?

    When choosing an ipod touch just for music, how do you gauge which capacity you need?

    Well, you'll be able to see how much material you already have by looking at the bottom of the iTunes window (eg "2000 songs, 2GB" or whatever). Then you can gauge whether that represents about as much as you expect to have in the near future, with a little headroom, or if you think you will dramatically increase that amount, either through ripping CDs, or by purchasing downloads.
    Calculate a 4-minute song in AAC format / 256k as being 10MB. A 128k track would be around 5MB. Most MP3 tracks will generally be a little smaller for the same time length, but better to give yourself more room than you think you'll need.
    So for the 8GB iPod - 800 tracks at 256k, or 1600 at 128k.
    32GB: 3200 @ 256k or 6400 @ 128k.
    64GB: 6400 @ 256k or 13000 @ 128k.
    Current tracks from iTunes Store are 256kb/s. Bitrate for tracks you rip yourself are set using iTunes Preferences.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I recover lost  or missing music on my ipod touch

    How do I recover lost or missing music on my Ipod touch? Restoreing it did not work.

    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How do I organize the music on my iPod Touch?  When I am looking for an artist or album, they appear to not be there. However, if I look under genres, its showing up.

    I downloaded music onto my iPod Touch.  When I looked through my library on the iPod just to make sure they went through, some of my music were not showing up under the artist or even the album. However,  when I look under "genres", then my music shows up. 

    There is a native Netflix app on Apple TV. If you are attempting to use a VPN via MBP then that is not supported.
