Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!
Hours and Hours of renaming, adding cover photos and so on have been for nothing. Itunes cannot find the files since they're not in the library at all!
I still have the music on my computer but don't want to add it as it is, as I have spent a lot of time "fixing" it! PLEASE HELP!

Did you use spotlight to search? (I'm assuming you have a Mac as given above despite this thread being in the Windows forum). How long have you used iTunes on this computer? Is there a backup to your library, perhaps an only copy of it on a machine you've "retired". Is the media present in the media folder? (Yes, you've answered that earlier.) If so then the media files should have absorbed all the tag changes that you made and reimporting the media into a new library might not be a complete disaster, though playlists, playcounts, ratings etc. would be irretrievably lost.

HT1848 I tried the above recommendations but my music did not transfer from my ipod touch to my new pc. there are over 465 songs and music videos I purchased on itunes that will be lost if I can not get this rectified. Need additional help on this..

How do I transfer my content on my ipod touch to a new pc. My old pc crashed and the ipod does not recognize the reboot. Content includes old music cds that I got rid of and itunes purchases that I could not transfer to my new pc, (ALL PAID FOR). I've been unable to sync because I do not want to lose over 465 songs and videos. Please help.

HT1459 my screen has gone black from my ipod touch but its still on and sounds?

My ipod was recently fixed because the screen was cracked then like two days later i drop my ipod but the fall wasnt even that bad when i check to see if my ipod is ok i notice that my screen is all blac but my music was still playing i tried iMessaging myself throuch my sisters ipod and it sounded i also tried facetimeing myself and my screen was all black but My sisters ipod saw me perfectly i also noticed my ipod was making very weird noises during the face time. i tried charging it but nothing happend. My sleep button doesnt wor either. Please help me!!!!!

Hello susilovesyou1,
I would be concerned too if my iPod touch only displayed a black screen. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience and issue like this:
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, try to reset the iPod touch while it is connected to power.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

My music and videos disappeared from my iPod touch!!! :(

I just realized today that I've lost all my music and videos (movies, podcasts, etc.) from my iPod! I haven't connected it to our computer in quite a while, I've just been charging it with a wall-plug.
I did go onto wireless internet at the airport last week, but I don't know if that would have corrupted it?
The problem is, I can't re-load all the music and videos back onto my iPod, because the USB ports on my laptop aren't working, and that's where my iTunes are... Is there another way to transfer my iTunes content to somebody else's computer? Burning my songs on CD's isn't an option - i have 1500 songs, and I've been able to fit about 20 on a CD....
HELP please!!!

yes, same here.. my apps are still there, but music and videos are gone...
please, can anybody help?? i can't put the music back onto my iPod, because my usb ports aren't working... what can i do???

How can I see in the itunes library what music has been added to my ipod touch?

I have got a large library of music in itunes and have added some albums to my new ipod touch.
I want to put some more music on the touch, but I don't know what I have added so far. Is their some easy way of seeing or finding out?
Thanks

Why not use AAC instead of Apple lossless?
I can't accept the loss of quality. It's something of an affliction, I know , but I'd be aware that the quality was less than maximum. Besides I frequently plug it into one of my very nice stereo systems, where I'd be more likely to notice.
But no idea about a web page listing your library.
This script -> Make A Text List, will "write an alphabetical list of your choice of the Albums, Artists, Composers, Genres, or Song Names in iTunes to a text file."
Whether it's a text file or HTML, can I search it or at least view if when I'm in music store? That I think is the real challenge here.

My music has been wiped from my Ipod !!!! help :(

I have just got a new computer and downloaded the latest version of iTunes. This all went well until I plugged my iPod in and tried syncing my iPod's music over but it didn't sync it deleted my music off my iPod.

Pls help I didn't buy any of my music via the Itunes store insted I got them from cd's, I also don't know where the cd's are
Hope you can help!

My ipod touch has been really gritty and slow the past few months and im planning in getting a new touch. But ive manually installed music onto it from random computers but i want keep my recent music. I have around 2,000 songs.
So is there a way to extract all that? I dont really care about my videos, apps, or pic's.

For everything else (music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?

Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?
My PC got a virus and I had to reinstall windows from scratch so I lost most of my music. I had a backup program that died in the middle of it so only half came back. the only place that I have all the songs is on the ipod. if I let it sinc it will loose the half that I do not have.
Any ideas on which direction I should go?

If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.

Can you restore an iTunes Library from an iPod Touch??

I had a hard drive crash on my PC and lost my iTunes Library. Can I recreate it from my iPod Touch? My fear is that I'll connect my iPod and everything will be erased. I have not yet downloaded new iTunes s/w.

Open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" and choose Ok before connecting your device.

Once you have recovered everything from the iPod and your iTunes library has been rebuilt it will be safe to sync again.
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Retrieving everything from my iPod Touch

Ok, i've searched these forums to know how to retrieve
my itunes library, without any decent answer.
My hdd crashed, a bad thing, but i was a lucky guy and retrieved all 'my documents'
now, with a full speed, steady and fresh Windows xp professional,
i came across the problem of 2500 songs being in my back-up of documents, which i want
to have in my library too ofcourse.
I can't sync my ipod...no fun
here are 2 positive things :
my iPod Touch's still got all songs
i found some library files from my back-up documents (might be library back-up?)
how can i get my songs back without trouble?
Thx in advance!
this is the second time that i post this...itunes recognises my ipod as 'iPod Touch' while the name used to be 'Ollii's iPod Touch', which actually still is the name of my iPod if i look it up on the device itself..
i might just need to get everything copied from my ipod touch to my library (really, everything)

Is there something wrong with the new update that keeps disconnecting my internet from my iPod touch 5g?

My home wifi has been disconnected from my iPod touch once again. It happened once yesterday morning and again this morning. After reattempting to connect again and again to the internet yesterday, it finally worked. But now I have the same problem.
I mean, my laptop has no internet connection issues whatsoever. So, I know it's not my internet's fault. And my iPod is practically brand new as well, so I'm assuming there's nothing wrong with it. Therefore, I'm not intending to bring it into the Apple store to have it checked out.
My last guess is that maybe it's some kind of glitch with the latest update? Are any other iPod touch 5g users who are experiencing the same problem?

You are not giving us enough information. A singe move can easiy take more than one GB. Ehne you click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes on the computer a colored bargraph will show the discribution of storage used on the iPod. What does that show? If the "other" category is greater than about 1 GB you can restore yu iPod, sometimes to factory defaults/new iPod is required, to get it to its normal of about 1/2 GB.

I lost all my purchased music that i bought on my ipod touch, how do i get them back?

You should have transferred them to your computer regularly and included them in your backup copy of your computer.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.
