Lost music/reverse sync

ok-so i deleted my morpheus shared music folder, and found out that itunes was using it as a root folder. now all my downloads are marked w/exclamation point and it sez original file/folder not found. the songs are still in the ipod (5.5g-80gvideo). how do i get them back into itunes and the hd in an hp/pc? and yes, i searched for this, tried the link and it does not open/link not found. not my night. please help. soon.

i found how to enable hidden folders on ipod to copy library to hard drive. all i have to do is, wait, wait, wait some more, and then drag/drop into library? will it ask if i want to replace files? will they be there and recognized by itunes? will i explode with the suspense?

HT204074 Lost Music on Sync operation.

I seem to have lost ALL of my music from my iPhone after a sync operation to my macbook pro. When I open the music icon on my phone, it is empty and states no music, playlists, albums or songs. Over 1100 songs gone. I did subscribe to iTunes match just prior to the sync but nothing is in my cloud under music. There is no music found on my computer either. In cyberspace I guess. Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any help.

Leave the iPod set on "Enable Disk Usage" or "Manual Update" whichever you choose and use a third party program to copy the ipod like yamipod http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499

Can i retrieve all my lost music after syncing to a new computer

just backed up my ipad to my new macbook and have lost all my music..help..devastated :/

If you synced to a new iTunes library that did not contain all of your music and didn't transfer the music first, then that would cause you to lose all of your music. You can only sync what is already in the iTunes library. If the library is empty when you sync, that erases your device.
But what puzzles me is that you should have gotten a message from iTunes alerting you that the contents would be erased if you synced the iPad. Did you get the message? If you did, did you ignore it and why would you ignore it if you did get it?
If the music was purchased from iTunes, you may be able to download much of it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Read this for more information.

If the music was imported from CD's and you no longer have the CD's or the old computer, there is no way to retrieve it.

Lost music when syncing

Can anyone tell me what happened when i synced my phone to my boyfriends computer to download a movie on Itunes and all my music in my IPOD app disappeared and got replaced by his music? Now I can't get my music back. Does anyone know how to get my music back?

Iphone will sync itunes content to one computer. If you sync to another, ti will erase the current content from iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
Your music should be on the computer with which you normally sync. Just sync it back to the iphone.

I am trying to recover lost music from my I tunes library, is there any way i can sync from my I pod to my I tunes?, i am trying to recover lost music from my I tunes library, is there any way i can sync from my I pod to my I tunes?

I an trying to recover lost music that was in my I tunes library.
I now have more music on my I pod nano and want to sync this collection back to the I tunes library. Is this possiable ?
If not, can anyone give me a hint, other than the ones on the I tunes tutorial ( none of these have worked ) how I can get my music back

Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
Good Luck

You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod.

If my ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account. I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
*I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding. You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum. Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music

Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music. Is there a way to recover my music?

Not if it isn't in your itunes library. If you sync with a new computer iTunes will delete all iTunes media (such as music) from your phone and replace it with whatever media is in the new iTunes library. Sounds like that's what happened.

Lost my music after sync

Lost music after sync

Did you confirm that you have checked Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings?

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

Lost music library on ipod; how to sync it back from music library?

tried clicking "transfer purchases" under device but that did not work. also couldn't manually move titles from library to device icon on the left while ipod was connected
how can I get my music back on the ipod from the library?
many thanks

Same way you got it there in the first place.
Either select the music to sync or manually manage the music.

my music wont sync on my new laptop because it is synced with another laptop, this laptop is now broken and i cant access it, is there anyway of fixing this without my music getting lost

Ideally you would copy your itunes media library from your old laptop to your new laptop.

Reverse syncing iphone playlists

I was running windows with 2 harddrives. One with my OS and some applications including itunes. My second harddrive was for storage which is where I kept my itunes music folder.
My OS harddrive crashed and I lost the itunes settings including all of the playlists. However, I was still able to keep my music because it was on my second harddrive.
My question is if there is a way to copy the playlists from my iphone to my itunes. Right now I just have itunes with a bunch of music and no playlists. I want to be able to reverse sync my iphone playlists to appear on itunes.
One issue I am running into is if I allow itunes to sync music it will delete the current playlists I have on the phone which I do not want to do obviously.

I have discovered that the issue with unchecked playlists syncing on the iPhone is caused by the weird fact that iPhone sync will add any/all playlist the items you have synced appear in.
I realize this is an old post, but in case you haven't solved this there is a workaround -- for all music-only smart playlists, add the criteria "Kind Does Not Contain Video" (use the "Kind" criteria, not "Video Kind"). You can still have smart playlists for your videos, and obviously you would leave that criteria out. Only the music smart playlists need this, and it seems to affect all iPods going back several iTunes revisions.

Got new iPod, deleted iTunes, lost music

My friend recently got a new iPod (and turned the old one in for a discount). My friend's new iPod would not sync with old iTunes, so she tried to upgrade it. For some reason it wouldn't. In frustration, she deleted iTunes from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Now she realizes that iTunes is gone and her iPod is empty. Is all of her music gone forever? Or 1) is there a remaining library of music or 2) does the iTunes store allow you to download your purchased music again? Thank you for any assistance!

Hi, the music files should still be on the PC. Here is an article on finding lost music.
