My Ipod touch powered off on its own, when I turned back on, my 4000 songs were gone. Why?

Hi. Today I was preparing to use my Ipod Touch when all on it's own, it powered off. When I restarted it, it came back on and I noticed that some of the setting's(date & time) were no longer as they had been when I previously set them. Other settings were not changed and they were as I had set them. The worst thing of all that was changed was 4000 of my songs were not on the device. I do not know what happened to them. Can some one help me with answers for the device powering off on it's own, having to redo some setting's, while other settings were fine, and last but not least, 4000 of my songs were no longer on the device.
Please help me and I thank you in advance.

I think that unless someone professional knows how to do a recovery, I may be screwed. Unfortunately, I did not have any connection with Itunes. I bought the IPod Touch from a local seller. I bought the unit mostly because of the 4000 songs that were on it.(yes I sat with the unit for a hour or so jumping from one song to another. I felt even better about the purchase due to the seller having the same likes with regards to music. When the lost songs first occurred, I immediately started wondering if the seller had tricked me some how. I may never know. Hey I have one more question. When a IPod has 4000 songs on it then that means a large portion of the original GB has been used correct? My capacity was 29.6 GBs with only 2.3 GBs left in availability. So if the songs took up the 29GBs and then the songs are deleted or lost, don't it mean that the 29.6GBs goes back to Availability?

My iPhone 4 (16 gig) is powering off on its own at random intervals when I'm using it.

My iphone 4 seems to have develpoed a power issue where it goes off while I'm using it...and if I leave it the screen will come back on, on its own even pulling up the screen to turn the phone off. The phone is 9 months old.

Will the reset you're referring to take all that's on my iphone 4 off of it. Erasing contacts, apps and such?
It has no effect on data or settings. You can do it every minute without any detriment.
Even if that were not true (which it is) you should have the confidence provided by having backups of all your important data. Your expression of worry indicates that you are not doing this. I don't know how you sleep nights....

I have had my ipod touch for almost 2 years. When i turn ipod on it just has a white screen! nothing will show. i have restored it. i have tried everything help!

Ny ipod touch will not do anything. it just has a white screen on it. plz help!

- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
- If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The Firefox menu opens on its own when idle and know one is using the computer. Why?

I have three windows 7 x64 computers with Firefox 5 as the default browser. Firefox is always open, and usually the active window. I've noticed with 5 that the Firefox menu will pop open on its own. My computer will have the screen dimmed or blacked-out from the idle timer, then from the corner of my eye I see it activate and and the Firefox menu is open. Since then I've actually seen it open on it's own when I wasn't using the system. Keeps making me think someone has logged into my computer and was doing stuff. And before anyone asks, all AV is up to date and scanned daily, and no has remote access to any of these computers. Thanks.

Seems like your Computer is Haunted :-P just kidding..

Turned off my iPhone and when it turned back on some settings were changed, why? Also, album art work not showing up on my iPhone even when it shows up in iTunes

I turned off my phone using the home key and the top button (an apple customer service personnell told me to do this if it started to act up) and when i turned it back on some of my settings were changed. I don't remember how everything was set up, so now I have to try and go searching for things that are wrong. Also, my iMessage and FaceTime accounts said that they aren't verified...they were before i turned my phone off.
Another thing is, is that the album artwork isn't showing up on my iphone, but its in the "get info" section on itunes. AND many times the artwork isn't showing up on itunes...like songs purchased from itunes. This is extremely aggravating. Can someone please please please help me?!

Hello. My iPod touch 2nd gen suddenly stopped and won't turn back on.

It didn't got wet ( checked the sign). I have tried EVERYTHING from soft reset to hard reset ( Plug the device with iTunes opened and keep Menu button and Power button pressed for at least 30 seconds, up to two minutes, for at least 3 times ) . This happened somehwere in the middle of month May, today I tried those things. When i plug it in to charge up the bottom side gets warm ( maybe the battery). The device is out of warranty ( 2 years old ).
I want to find if there is anything else to try or just go to a workshop and see if it is from inside. Thanks in advance.

Try here.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar oa an Apple store. The appointment is free.

My ipod classic ran out of battery, when I turned it back on all my songs were gone. How can I recover them on a windows vista computer? Also, the itunes on my vista does not have all my original songs. Please help

My Ipod Classic died because it ran out of battery. Finally, today when I was able to plug it into my computer to
charge it, all my music was gone. It did not show up on the Itunes nor was it present on my Ipod. Which freaked
me out. I dont know what to do because I do have Itunes but all the music I had on my Ipod was from my
first computer, which I no longer have because it was stolen. However, on my Itunes it says my Ipod
has 14.27 GB used and 13.55 FREE. So I just want to know how to get my music back on to my Ipod
and that it shows up in Itunes again. I have a Windows Vista so if anyone knows instructions it would
be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried:
- Resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring your iPod via iTunes. First restore from backup and if problems persist restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly what should I do

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly, sometimes turning itself back on automatically but sometimes staying off, i have tried a system restore but has no effect, what should I do?

Do you have a case on the iPhone? Did you accidentally drop it or damage it in anyway?
You could try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new device, as shown here -> iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Is it normal for your iPod touch 4th gen screen to come off on its own?

So I have had my iPod touch for a while now. I understand that things get old and fall apart eventually, but what confuses me is how does the screen come off on its own? I noticed it a few weeks ago when I was reading a book that some light was able to come out from the top area of the screen where the camera is located. I started to investigate about it and turns out the the top area of the iPod had came loose. A few days later I noticed that it started to get worse. It started to allow me to see the components on the inside. Then my screen turned off not allowing my to turn it back on when I later found out that one of the cables that connect the screen had came lose and popped off the connection for it. What should I do? Please help me and tell me what I should do to fix it.

"Do you have any duct tape?" Seriously, no it shouldn't come off, contact your Apple genius bar and get it fixed. Good luck.

Ipod doesn't switch off on its own

Hello,
I have a black Ipod 60GB and it doesn't switch off on its own. I know that the old Ipods will switch off on their own if you are not using it for more than a couple of minutes. So I thought the 5th generation would do that as well but mine doesn't and it's really annoying. Does anyone know if 5th generation Ipod should do that? And if yes, in which part of the menu can I set that option?
Thanks.

Why do you think it should cost exactly the same everywhere?

Try a restore. If that does not work, you probably have a hardware issue.
