PLEASE HELP I LOST 10 000+ SONGS!!!!

i just posted in another thread sorry i couldnt start a new one a second ago. anyway...
my computer froze up & went styupid about 1/2 hr ago & when i restarted my ipod has been wiped!!! ive lost 10 000 songs! please tell me i can get them back!
ive tried restarting the ipod with select/menu button, didnt do anything. whenn use the ipod itself it says i have no songs or videos but my photos have stayed on there. also when i try to restore it on the computer it says i have 10Gb left which leads me to believe the songs are still on there & something just went wrong. please help it will take me years to get all these songs some were from very rare albums.

Most of your sources are illegal; friends, LimeWire, etc... Anyhow, try first updating your iPod's firmware; iPod Updater - Version 1.1.1. If that doesn't work, restore your iPod with that same updater. Restoring your iPod will erase all the files on your iPod. You'll have to put all the files on your iPod back on your computer. Check out the following programs...
PodUtil
YamiPod
Both will rip files from your iPod, and place them in a specified folder on your computer.

  • Please help-i lost all my songs on my ipod

    Hi,
    I have an ipod photo which i have had for nearly two years. I had over 400 songs in it.
    i was listening to my ipod last night on my speakers, and this morning i have tried to listen to it again and all the songs have disappeared. my hard drive on my computer recently crashed and i had to download itunes again. i had plugged my ipod in it with no problems and listened to music after that but now evrything keeps telling me i have 3 songs on it( i don't even know what these songs are- i never loaded them on). I had a few photos on the ipod that are still there but no songs.
    Please help - where are my songs and can i get them back
    Thanks

  • HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

    My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

  • Please help ive lost my phone, Please help ive lost my phone, Please help ive lost my phone, Please help ive lost my phone, Please help ive lost my phone

    Please help me i've lost my phone as it was off when i lost it as it was flat, Please help. I was never registered with iTunes.

    You did not accidentally "back up" your phone. A backup is the process of making a copy of the data on a device for use in data recovery. What you did was "restore" to your phone a backup that had been previously made of someone else's device.
    You need to force the phone into recovery mode (google is your friend) and restore it as a NEW device. Then either restore it from YOUR backup, or set it up as a new phone.

    Look in Windows Explorer, Music Library, My Music, iTunes, iTunes Media, Music which is where your library should be located. If it isn't there make sure you have the first two items on the advanced tab of the preferences ticked, then on the file menu select Library and Organise Library which should put all music remaining on your PC into the iTunes library. 
    Alternatively, if you can find where the music has become relocated to, move it into the automaticall 'add to iTunes' folder within itunes Media and it should then go back into your library.

  • URGENT PLEASE HELP: iTunes Will Play Songs With No Sound.

    Hello all. I recently did the following and significantly screwed up my iTunes:
    -Tried to move my directory to an external hard drive.
    -This didn't work, so I then had to reload my iTunes.
    -I did this by doing the standard copying the .xml library file to the desktop, deleting the old library files and importing the new .xml into the iTunes.
    -However, I now have music in my iTunes, but when I click on files, they'll play but with no sound. No exclamation point comes up next to them to signal they're missing, but just no sound.
    -Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest iTunes. Still nothing.
    I also tried dragging a random song into iTunes to see whether it was just a directory mix-up still, but no dice. Right now, the directory for my iTunes is Macintosh HD:Users:name:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music.
    Please help!!!!

    Well, that could be, but before thinking of an hardware issue, first check all possible software settings.
    Try this:
    In System Preferences>Sound there are two volume sliders.
    Set the Output volume about halfway. Now move the Alert volume slider just a little bit. This normally will invoke the Mac to play the selected alert sound.
    Still no sound?
    Can you connect a headphone to the PB?
    If yes, does it have sound?

  • Please help I lost all my messages from E71

    I have a big problem with my NOKIA E71
    This is the second time I lost all my messages  and my Mail Box.
    The story is : when I was chatting using MSN messenger on my E71
    The connections failed   many times so I restarted my E71, suddenly after restart
    I did not find any messages or any emails in my Inbox and Mailbox , the second problem is the design of lock on E71 screen was changed to white circle  form however before that it has a rectangular form.
    Is the problem with the software or with my card memory because I used to save all my massages on memory card?
    Please help me   
    Notice : I had upgraded my E71 software to the version 300.21.012 from
     3 months ago.
     thanks

    My E71  also experienced the same problem. It lost all text messages, emails and some folders on the memory card. Will someone from Nokia please tell us what is happening.

  • PLEASE HELP  I lost my phone. My new SIM is here. I also have a new laptop that my old phone was never connected to. Is there anyway I can retrieve my old contacts?

    Please help. I lost my i phone 4 and have now received my new SIM. My friend has kindly lent me her old i phone 3 until I get another phone. The problem is that I got a new laptop at Christmas and never connected my old phone to it before I lost it.
    Ive downloaded i tunes onto the new laptop and connected the i phone 3 but all the info from my old phone is not there (numbers, music etc)
    Is there anyway I can retrieve the info and transfer it to the i p hone 3?

    Look. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat yourself. The answer is the same.  The only way you're going to find it is by getting up off your backside and looking for it.  Why you're so concerned, I'm not sure. If you find it, you will just have to turn it (or the replacement) over to the insurance company. Unless it's your intent to commit fraud...

    I have managed to load songs onto the ipod.
    It did play a couple of times but since then when you go to play any song the screen comes up with an apple symbol. Please help. I hope this isn't a dumb question.

    See if these help.
    iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
    Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.

    You have encountered the symptoms of iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. Treat the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program, such as MP3 Validator, and then they usually add to iTunes without further problem.

  • Please help, Im lost

    Hi,
    I previously posted about having 3 ipods for my kids. Here is my problem, which I have read the posts and cannot figure out what to do in my own ignorance.
    My son has a nano, no problems whatsoever. My twins just got shuffles two days ago.
    Shuffles do not show up AT ALL, nothing, nada. My impression was that I did not need to install the cd that came with them since I have itunes etc. Maybe that is the problem? Oldest son is worried his files will be lost if I reinstall from new cds.
    Looking at our ipod files, all that is showing is nano. When I plug nano into the usb it shows up, shuffles do not show at all.
    What the heck do I do, I have twins who are waiting and losing patience on not being able to use their new ipods.
    Please someone help me?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Thanks,
    I called Apple, they had me do the msconfig, try every usb port I have restart, reset retry everything to no avail. I find it virtually impossible that 2 new shuffles are no good, but even Apple gave up and told me to send them back!
    I just reinstalled the itunes, BUT left the serial number for the nano on it when I reinstalled.
    I restarted the computer and nothing with the shuffles is working, still.
    Im really mad now, since I have twins over my shoulder waiting for the past three days to use their brand new shuffles, when their brother plugs in nano in the same usb it works fine.
    Thanks for your suggestions, but im more lost than ever. My last question is this, if I send them back, should I just go ahead and pay the difference and get them nanos? I hate to, since they are only 10 and the likelihood of them losing them is quite large, but what am I going to do? Plus I highly doubt that my ten year olds would listen to more than 120 songs.
    thanks again!!

  • Please Help! Lost all Desktop Icons, Finder won't open & Cant shut off iMac

    Hi Mac Users,
    I need some serious help please and thank you --- my iMac with Mac OS X 10.5.6 has lost all its desktop icons, I can't open my finder (i've tried relaunching and rebooting my computer, which won't even do a hard shut off).  I can open apps on my dock and that is about it. 
    I did read in another discussion to delete the preference file, but I can't get access to the library?!?  And I also read to try doing a disk repair from the install disk and when I insert the disk into my iMac I don't get a pop-up window asking what i'd like to do and since the finder does not open I have to way to even start the disk up to attempt to do a disk repair???? 
    Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.
    Sincerly,
    desperate iMac kt1611

    When you tried to do a disk repair from the instal disk, did you actually boot from the instal disk?  You should.
    Have you read the manual that came with your iMac and followed the appropriate steps?
