My ipod lost all of my songs

my ipod lost all of the information for all the songs i had on my ipod... the songs are there because it is an 8g 4th generation ipod, but says it only has 4g of memory left... i had plugged it into my computer, but it wasn't registering, so i pulled it out, but after i had pulled it out it said it had registered... when i plugged it back in, my songs and playlists were gone... my memory still says it only has 4g left while if the songs were actually deleted, there would be 8g memory left... i don't want to reload all of my songs to my ipod... is there a way i can get my songs back without having to format my ipod and start over?

The only way to fix it is to restore your iPod to the original settings. Just get it going before you go to bed, and it'll be done in the morning.

  • I have lost all of my songs on my Ipod touch.  My computer that contains the Itunes library keeps freezing.  How do I move my songs from my old computer to my new computer.  Keep in mind that when I synced my ipod on my new computer I now have no songs on

    My computer is old and keeps freezing up.  I need to get my Itune purchases to a new computer.  I messed up and synced my Ipod with my new computer before I moved my library over.  Now my Ipod has no songs on it and the songs are frozen in my old computer.  Is there anyway to get my songs onto my new computer and have my Ipod touch sync with my new computer.  Or have I lost all of my songs?  HELP

  • I suddenly lost all but 1 song (lost 1000  songs) tonight!

    I suddenly lost all but 1 song (lost 1000+ songs and a number of videos!) tonight! My ipod touch died so I went and charged it. A few hrs later I went to turn on some music but all but one song was gone! What can I do?? I am away from home for a few days, so I can not hook it up to itunes. Will everything go back on once I do? Or is there something I can do now? Has this happened suddenly to anyone before?!?!?

    Things like that can happen when the battery dies,  If you are in the USA and have the latest iOS you can redownload iTunes purchases on the iPod via iCloud beta.  Otherwise, you will have to wait and sync/restore your iPod when you get home.

    If you are in the USA (is that Pearland, Texas), with iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

    MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.6
    Your signature lists both, Mac and iOS device - are you asking about GarageBand on your Mac or your iPhone/iPad?
    If you are asking about the upgrade from GarageBand '11 to GarageBand 10.0 on your Mac, the old GarageBand version should still be installed. The installer will have moved GarageBand '11 to a separate folder "GarageBand 6.0.5" in your Applications folder. Open this folder and click "GarageBand".  Does this version still see your old projects?  If not, type ".band" into the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. Does that sfind your missing projects?
    If you are asking about GarageBand on iPad/iPhone, there it is not possible to restore the previous version after you upgraded. And I do not see, how this upgrade could have deleted your projects. Have they completely vanished, or can you not open them any longer? If your projects have vanished, restore your device from your backup: See:  iCloud: Backup and restore overview

  • I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive.  Can I get another copy from Apple?

    I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive.  Can I get another copy from Apple?

    Quite possibly, at least assuming you are based in the US. Install the latest build of iTunes, sign into the iTunes Store and click the Purchased entry in the Quck Links panel. Here in the UK I only get tabs fro Apps and Books but, if I understand correctly, you should also get a tab for Music. Click on the Not in My Library button and you should be able to download your purchases again.

    in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

  • Lost all my starred songs!

    Hey HotSweat- Are these your tracks here: amar_dillon starred
    If those aren't already restored after logging out and logging back in (try this first), just click on that link above.
    Then press "Ctrl+A" or "Cmd+A" (depending on if you're on a Windows or a Mac). Then right click on the tracks, and click on "Star". They will all be back in your Starred folder again. 

  • Connected Ipod lost all playlists, songs in itunes and on ipod

    I connected my video ipod to my computer, not for the first time, and all my songs and playlists were erased from my ipod and, in my itunes library, I lost all my playlists, recently purchased songs, and recently played folder. Why? How can I retrieve my playlists? How can I prevent this from happening again? Jeannine

    Weird.
    While there's plenty of things that could change the playback speed in iTunes, I don't know of anything that could change the speed of playback on the iPod itself.
    Maybe you've had a stroke. Might want to see a doctor about that.

  • Library Lost - Please HeIp I tried updating my old ipod & now all 10,000 songs in my library have an ! next to them and I get the error message "song " " could not be used because the original file could not be found" on every song I try to play

    Please help - this morning I tried updating one of my old ipods for my wife (this ipod hasn't been updated in 2-3 years).  I plugged it into my pc, it was recognized and the software updated.  I created a new playlist and tied to sync the ipod.  This ipod had never been used on this pc/itunes since the pc is only 2 years old.  When I tried to sync the ipod it stated that it would have to erase all the old songs on the ipod prior to syncing.  I clicked ok and it proceeded to wipe out the old ipod and sync the new playlist (~1000 songs).  When the sync was complete there were only 6 songs from the new playlist (all purchased this morning from itunes) on the ipod and to my horror all ~10,000 song on my pc in itunes now have a ! next to them.  Only my recent purchases from itunes do not.  When I click on a song with the ! I get the error message "the song " " could not be used because the original file could not be found."  How do I correct this issue - I am scared to hook my ipads or other ipods to my pc for fear of losing everything?!?!?  I spent 100s of hours burning the 10,000 songs from my cd collection and do not want to have to do it again. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Lost All of My Songs in iTunes but NOT in my iPod

    My computer crashed recently and I had to re-install Windows. I wound up losing all of my songs in iTunes but I still have them on my iPod. (I have not connected my iPod to the computer as of yet.) Is there a way to get the songs back from iTunes or to upload from the iPod to iTunes? Thanks, Terry

    This topic is covered several times a day. First off, you need to develop a back-up strategy so this doesnt happen to you again. Relying on your iPod or computer is not smart. Next time, Burn your library onto a Data DVD or CD, or invest in an external hard drive. THey have come down in price a lot.
    Anyway, you can download a third party program, such as YamiPod or CopyPod, both free, that will allow you to rip your iPod onto your iTunes. There is also another way, but is a bit more involved. Here is the article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
