Music gone after update

I had music on my Ipod that was stored on my old computer.  I updated my ipod from a different computer.  Now all my music is gone.  My old computer still works but it won't recognize my ipod.  Any suggestions?
thanks,

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or              
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Also see:

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
NOTE:
You will have to backup the iPod to the old computer and then restore from backup since you can only sync with one computer and the updating computer is now your syncing computer

  • All music gone after update

    After updating yesterday I clicked on iTunes and all my music is gone. No playlist. This happened a few weeks ago while using the old version. I took the laptop into the Geeks and they were able to find my music on my backup drive. They said they could not help me today because of the new update. I don't understand why this keeps happening. I have had iTunes for a while now and never had a proble.

    You know, I had the same exact problem. Updated my phone to 4.2 and left the house went to play music and it was all gone!!! I was so upset! Turned it off and on, Reset it, re-synced, and still the same problem. All the music showed up while synced but not with iPhone alone. Until!!! While it was synced I played a couple of the songs that appeared to be still in my iphone library. I then gave up thinking i would just have to restore to factory settings and just start over. but one last try and shock of all shocks my music reappeared! Dont know if it was just a fluke but I wanted to share the info in case there is something more to it. Good luck Iphone users! I hope you find some relief from your problems as I have

  • All music gone after update to 4.2 !

    After i updated to 4.2 Nothing shows up when I load the ipod app. It just says " no content".
    It will take me awhile to re-download my playlists and 300 songs.

  • All ipad Music gone after update to ios5 please advise

    Did a backup before and restore after and ZERO songs. Dreadful please advise

    Restore from the backup you make of your computer because you have such valuable things on it.  I ripped my vinyl 15 years ago and the first thing I did was buy backup drives and kept them in a separate part of the house.

  • Apps gone after update

    Apps gone after update iPot toch touch to 5.0.1

    My guess is that the apps were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you did the update.  Apps )and ther items like music)are nt in the backu that iTunes makes as the first step of the backup.
    To redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Can you help?

    Why don't you want to follow up with your previous thread?
    It'll be confusing when you started multiple threads linking to the issue.
    Sorry, I haven't posted here much so I'm not familiar with the protocols. I just thought it would be less confusing to make this a separate issue. I linked them to avoid duplicating info on my config & h/w

  • HT5706 photos on screen saver gone after update of apple tv

    photos on screen saver gone after update of apple tv

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
    See This
    If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
    When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.

  • TV, Movie, and Podcast Favorites Gone after Update?

    Has anyone else noticed their "Favorites" gone after updating to the latest software? I did also unplug and do some traveling over the weekend so I'm not sure what exactly caused it but I had to add all my favorites again. I suspect the update did it. Did this happen to anyone else?

    same problem here!!!!!

I saw the song it was on my computer. Then i clickd on my computer again sync. Then it was gone. And now i cant find it or download it. I just dont understand what is happening.
    Sorry for my bad grammar.

    Hello ErikErvik
    Check out your music folder on your computer. If your downloaded songs are there, you can drag them into iTunes or your can revert the iTunes database file before the update the update.

  • Pictures gone after update to 925

    Some of my pictures are completely gone after the latest update. They are not found from my pictures nor from onedrive even though all photos have been uploaded automatically. Is there any way to restore the photos?

    Hi jane222222222,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    Aside from the photos, are there any other files affected by this issue (like videos, music, apps, etc.)? Was it the Lumia Black SW update that has just been installed in the phone?
    If you're able to sync the phone's files to a PC via Windows Phone app for desktop prior to this issue, you can just sync them back to your Lumia 925. You can also directly transfer the photos back to the phone via Windows Explorer.
    Unless a backup via OneDrive or Windows Phone app for desktop is created, the deleted photos can no longer be restored. I suggest that you enable all Backup options under Settings to prevent data loss in the future.
    Let us know if you need further help. 

  • Cannot restore music/apps after Update to phone

    Hi. Really hope someone can help here. Don't think I have a severe problem, at least hope not. Nutshell:
    -Started Update about 3 hours ago.
    -After update, got error message stating problem, needed to restore to back-up.
    -Thankfully I had backed up the device just prior to update, and just checked, I still have all of my data on HD
    -When trying to restore, I kept getting error message, asking me to repeat the process, and phone is completely bricked at this point
    -Saw message stating this is frequently caused by anti-virus/firewall, so disabled AV/Firewall, restore again, successfully
    -Phone no longer a brick, but ALL data is gone, like a brand new phone, not a good thing
    -I can see all of my apps/music in my itunes library, as well as my hard drive, but can not find a way to get the data back to my iphone.
    -Tried syncing (haven't tried restoring yet, wanted to do a little research first) no success, no drag and drop, etc... very stupid imo, how can you not be able to drag and drop?! anyway...
    So, need help getting my data back to my phone, music and apps.
    Again, your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hi all. Just in case you end up searching this thread, the answer was so stupid and should have been obvious... man, Apple is really screwing things up that should be easy. Anyway, here is the dumb answer, and yep, maybe it is me who is dumb, but we all miss the obvious, (who hasn't last keys lately???) it should have been a super easy fix.
    Ok, I never had an issue with syncing prior to this, default settings worked fine, and I am not someone who uses iTunes for anything other than this required use for updates and back-ups. So, I had/have very little interaction and knowledge of iTunes.
    When looking at the GUI, clicking on your iphone or other device, you immediately see the summary page. I never noticed the tabs on the inner frame of the window, with the info/apps/music/etc subtabs. I always browsed my libraries by the main tabs on the left side.
    Then, after all of this crud yesterday, I did find them. After the update, for some reason, they were all unchecked, all music, apps, frikking so stupid!! When you go into the page, you have to re-check the box to sync, something I had never had to do before. Then, as with most preference set-ups, I cycled through the pages, checked the boxes, tried to sync after, and it still didn't work...
    Well, the genius coders here decided that the only way to make these changes 'sticky' was to click 'apply' on EACH SEPARATE TAB!!! You have to do each 1 by itself: music sync check then APPLY, apps sync check then APPLY, you get it..
    Again, thanks SO MUCH Apple for another update with Unacceptable major flaws, so simple I was always looking tons deeper. Steve Jobs, Get your team back on point, this is getting to be a major mess..
    Hope this helps others.

  • Facebook and Twitter tap to post gone after updating to ios 7

    Hey guys,
    I noticed that the tap to post widget has gone from the notification center after updating to iOS 7. Anyone else noticed this? And if so, will it be available in the future?

    You're not alone, I'm missing them too. It's a shame, I used the share widget to update my Facebook status more frequently than I used the Facebook app. I'm hoping it's just a burried setting somewhere that I'm missing.
