Pc format...ipod containing songs..........cant it be synced again without losing data?

my pc was formatted . i lost my songs on pc but there are there on my ipod..if i connect it to the pc now..will my ipod also get formatted

The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

    "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" I do not wish to use as iPhone anymore, just an iPod is there a way to use again without inserting a sim card? There is a hardware fault but this is confined to the internal sim card receivers and purely the parts related to the sim card there are no other hardware faults! I've tried dfu mode and a restore and cant find anything related to this anywhere on the internet, thanks for any help in advance, Bobby

    iPhones require a SIM card, that card does not need to be active.

    You need to copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

  • How to sync music on my Itouch without losing data/songs?

    I have read plenty of answers saying to allow a transfer or move all the music from old computer to new one. I don't have that option. My old computer is dead, I tried to get this new one before it died but I wasn't able to. Now I'm afraid that by syncing my ipod with my new computer I'll lose everything... which I'd rather not.
    Please help, thanks.

  • Any way to repair a corrupt ipod without losing data?

    I've only had my ipod nano a few months and apparently for some reason it has now corrupted, meaning that I have to restore it and thereby lose all my songs. Does anyone know of any way that I can fix this problem without losing the data? Or can anyone recommend a service provider that can help?

    You don't say which OS your iPod was formatted on. It may not be a hopeless situation if the iPod is recognized as a removeable drive in (say) Windows Explorer.

  • How can I sync my ipod without losing data?

    I bought my ipod around half a year ago and had it synced and everything to my Mac for school. The school took my computer for summer and i backed up the files onto my external harddrive. But i have bought songs and apps on my ipod touch which is no longer connected to any itunes library.
    How can i sync this ipod with a itunes library without losing everything on my ipod??
    (note: the computer i am using now is a windows, with an itunes library that also has music bought on it)

    Tough spot if you want Apple only SW, no idea where you can get where you want without some decent 3rd party SW, which as a rule outshines Apple's SW by light years.

  • Updating ipod on fresh Windows install without losing data?

    Hey guys.
    I have an 80gb iPod Classic, and my iTunes had about 72gb worth of data in the playlist. Recently I had to reformat my system drive and do a fresh Windows install, and as such my iTunes playlist obviously got wiped. If I readd everything that was on my iPod into the playlist, will iTunes try to wipe my iPod and transfer everything over again, or will it recognize that the files are exactly the same and only copy the new files over that weren't originally on it?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different 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. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Once the iPod is in manual mode you can add to it without losing any content but you will have to drag it from the library yourself: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    However once you are safely connected you can copy content from the iPod to iTunes. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    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

  • I have a library on my Ipod Classic and a different one on iTunes.  How can I sync both without losing any files?

    I think I may have deleted the original library a while back.  Since then, I have been collecting new files.  Now that I sat down to sync, I am unable to load new files at all.  Is there maybe a way to upload library on ipod into itunes library and then reload all back onto ipod?
    I don't want to lose any of it! Help!

    You'll want to extract all the content that is currently on the iPod and copy it back over into your new iTunes library.  Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and restore your iPod to factory settings and then sync away as restoring the iPod will allow it to sync with the new iTunes library.

  • HT1296 I bought a new computer and I want to sync my iPod Touch with the new computer without losing data.

    I bought a new computer and want to use the new computer to sync data with my iPod touch.  I understand that you can only sync a device with one computer at a time.  This if fine because I don't care to sync my iPod with the old computer anymore.  How do I set up my new computer to be the computer that syncs with my iPod touch from now on, without losing any data?

    You don't.
    When you sync to a different computer it erases the content from the ipod and replaces it with the data from the new computer.
    Just copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one, then sync
