My ipod deleted all my movies and music

ok i was syncing my itouch and it came up with this message that it couldnt find the itouch so i unplugged it and hooked it back up. when i went to the summary page on itunes, it shows that all my songs and movies were deleted and was replaced with the orange section (other). now i have no room to put movies but only songs. do i have to restore my ipod to get my space back or do i have to just deal with it. also if i have to restore my ipod will i have to pay for it since my itouch is a 1st gen.

my problem is similar to this but my ipod touch was not hooked up to a computer, i did not sync it, it just randomly deleted all my music and videos. All my apps and pictures are still on it. When it is hooked up to itunes, the capacity bar full with my "music", but it lists it as other. This has happened once before, and i would really appreciate if this problem could be resolved.

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • My ipod deleted all my notes and I REALLY need them back! How can I get them back!?

    For some reason my ipod touch 5 deleted all my notes and all the mail in my inbox its all gone. I do not have the iOS 6.1 update though. So I dont know how this could have happened. I have not backed up my ipod to my computer since I got it because thats not how I use it. But my sisters ipod 4 also for some reason had my notes downloaded onto hers? And she has recently backed up her ipod on the computer. But once the notes on mine were deleted so were hers. But since she has recently backed hers up maybe I can restore the to her ipod then to mine. If so how would I do this? I really need those notes back they were REALLY important! Thanks!

    Your only hope is restoring from the bakup of your sister's iPod. For how see the restoring topic of:

  • Syncing ipad resulted in deleting almost all aps, movies and music !

    yesterday i wanted to sync my ipad (before upgrading my ipad to ios4) but my computer didn't recognize my ipad anymore. By means of online help i found that restarting the ipodservice (service running in the background on my XP computer) and a computer restart may resolve the problem, and it did! the ipad was recognized again and signaled that there were items that were not yet synced on my ipad. my previous syncs worked quite well and itunes is set at syncing all apps, some music and some photos.
    However after i pressed sync in itunes, he started to sync AND DELETE almost all (75% of them, even ibooks) my apps i had on my ipad, including all movies, podcasts and music!!! I'm now left with some (seems random) apps and photos and no way to get them back as itunes also has the same set of apps (wonder how this happened!) unless by reinstalling them all again from the apple store (supposed i even know which apps are gone...).
    Huge disappointment: i thougt my ipad was reliable, itunes for sure is NOT !!!

    I encountered a similar problem, I was trying to copy some videos and one specific file wouldn't copy, it was arriving on the iPad with 0 bytes.
    Here's some things I did... Eventually I got it on there:
    Make sure the video file is successfully imported into iTunes (Can you play it from within iTunes?). It may be that the original file has moved and so it cannot be found - or did not import properly.
    Try renaming the file to something shorter then reimporting to iTunes - this helps if it gets mixed up about the state of a specific file - as it effectively treats it as a new file.
    Make sure there is enough space on the iPad (look at the size bar within iTunes before you sync). I had to delete a couple of other movies to make room.
    After doing all these steps (especially the second one), for me I was able to get it synced successfully.
    Good luck!

  • HT4437 How do I get my Air Play to access my two WD Share Space and my booklive duo?. Able to access with PS3 but not Apple TV Ver 3.  Have all my movies and music on it and do not want to have a computer on for it.

    I had bought two Network Drives so I could watch my own movies anywhere in my house and clear up the clutter of all the DVDs, Blurays and CDs, Works greate with the PS3,  Bought the Apple TV version 3 because it was smaller and resently bought the IPAD 3 and have the IPHONE 4S and other apple products.
    My wish is to access my Network drives with the Apple TV - I have herd of Jailbreaking it (Not Avalible from where I can tell for the Version3) - but why didn't Apple ever think of accessing a Network drive and is their a work around for this?   Should I just shutup  and wait till Jail Breaking is avalible for the Version 3?.
    Thank you for any help

    I'm sure they did think of it, but quickly discarded the idea because of the horrendous user experience this causes.

  • TS1424 I bought a tv series but when I play it it says that my URL is not supported by server. All my movies and music plays, but not my tv shows.

  • Movie "Margin Call" will not download error 8008 or -50. all other movies and music will download without a problem.

    any ideas? i've tried shutting down the AV and Apple firewall with no luck.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • How Do I Back Up Movies And Music I Download?

    I usually will download Movies and Music onto my Mac and then sync it up with my iPad and iPod. How do I make sure all my Movies and Music are backed-up from my Mac? Does Time Machine back this stuff up? Thanks!

    Yes, Time Machine will back this up to an external drive. You can also copy your iTunes folder to an external drive to back it up.

  • Movies and Music on Two Computers

    Recently, I got a new computer, but I still want to keep all the movies and music from my old iTunes on my ipod. Unfortunately, itunes prevents me from putting two movies on my ipod from two different computers. I find this extremely unfair seeing as how I purchased all the movies myself. Is there any way I can fix this?
    I was also wondering if there was a way to make all my music from my old computer that i've bought show up on my new computer

    No. That explains how to set up to manually sync so that you can put content on ipod from two different computers:
    From the article:
    "When in manual mode, to add songs or playlists drag them from iTunes to the iPod icon in the sidebar."
    and
    "If you want to keep the music library on iPod, but copy songs or playlists from the music library on the second computer, click Cancel to this dialog box, and then set iPod to manual mode."
    Your other question:
    ""I was also wondering if there was a way to make all my music from my old computer that i've bought show up on my new computer "
    Not unless you have moved it there. Itunes does not keep up with your purchased music for you. Once you purchase it, it is you responsibility to keep up with it - just like a cd you purchase from the store. You can copy the music from one hard drive to the other.
