Please HELP!! I've lost all my music on my IPOD.

Here is a brief history of what happened. I bought a new PC (Windows Vista) and downloaded itunes. HOwever my music only appeared while my IPOD was connected. So I wanted to see if the music was stored on my old compter and it wasn't. So by connecting my IPOD to my new computer again, on the Summary page i clicked that itunes automaticly opens when my ipod is connected. Afterwards a message appeared asking if i wanted these changes applied - i said yes - then all my music on my ipod and itunes erased. Is there any way I can get this back - is it stored somewhere? Unfortuanately i didn't back up as Im only realizing that I could as I go searching for support! The name of the IPOD appearing on itunes has also now changed. What can I do??? PLEASE help.

I have a similar problem - purchased a new laptop as my old one was damaged.
I have a n ipod classic with 6500 songs/videos/photos.
finally downloaded itunes onto it and when ipod plugged into usb then my ipod is recognised and all the material appears in my folder, but not in the itunes folder, this is ok as it still plays on the computer while the ipod is connected, all was well for a couple of weeks and i've downloaded and copied other music onto it successfully. yesterday i disconnected the ipod to play in the car and all the material had disappeared! as it's not backed up i thought i must have deleted it somehow and panicked as you do!
when i plug the ipod back in, the material magically reappears in my music folder, but as soon as it's disconnected it's gone from the ipod.
anyone tell me how i get it back on to the ipod?

  • My 3rd gen ipod nano is not being read by itunes when I plug it into my mac laptop.  It says "no name" on the mac screen, I lost all my music on the ipod itself.

    My 3rd gen iPod nano is not being read by my iTunes on my mac.  When going to sync, the mac screen says "no name". Also I believe I lost all the music on the iPod.  When turned on it says "Welcome" as if it is new.  I tried to copy all my music into the "no name" folder and then sync.  The iPod said it was "syncing".

    So does iTunes see the iPod or not?  I couldn't quite understand from your post as you said it wasn't, but then said that the iPod was syncing...

  • Lost all my music on my iPod Touch - is there any way I can get it back?

    Hi, for the first time I recently updated my iPod touch through my PC. All works fine apart from I've lost all my music that I've downloaded over the past year. Does anyone happen to know what I need to do to get it back or if it's actually possible? Am thinking I may have lost all my music.

    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

    For other music you will have to get it from where you originally obtained it.

  • PLEASE HELP! I lost all of my pictures of my baby :(((((

    I tried to restore an old copy of iphoto and when I did it deleted all of my pictures both the new and old. I saved the old restore copy to my desktop then when I tried opening it to import the pictures I wanted, the thumbnails wouldn't show up. I restarted my computer and when I did EVERYTHING all my old and new pictures are gone. PLEASE HELP. All of the pictures of my baby were there. I will be devastated if they are gone forever. PLEASE!!! I've since then tried to restoring to my latest backups within the last two days and all of my pictures are still gone. Can anyone help?

    Let me start by saying that I did not say I did "everything." I stayed exactly what I did and said "everything" meaning all of my old and new pictures were gone. I'll admit I did freak out a bit but that is only because I thought I had lost the pictures of my baby. No need to be rude.
    Now with that being said, I also want to say thank you. Last night when I searched in finder and got to the iPhoto folder, there was nothing in it. However, I just did what you said by scanning through "All Images" in finder and when I located one of the baby pictures and clicked on the iPhoto folder from which it came, all of my old photos suddenly popped up as though they were never gone.
    So thank you a million times over!! I very much appreciate it! :)

  • HELP: Lost all my music and my ipod does not show up in I-Tunes.

    Okay, my Ipod was stuck on Do Not Disconnect. I rebooted it by hold menu and middle button. Well now the problem is that all my music is gone. I hooked it up to the computer so I could sync it again in itunes thinking that the music would reappear. But i can't do that cause my ipod isn't showing up in I-tunes. I double checked to make sure it's plugged up, but nothing? How do I get I-tunes and the computer to recogize my i-pod.
    PLEAS HELP

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

    Still no joy, see these.

Also this is in my playlists
    So how do I fix this?

    Your iPhone has enough storage for iOS 8.  Your iPad may have enough too so before doing anything you may want to just wait and try to upgrade and see if you get a prompt saying you don't have enough storage.  If you don't, if all of your music is in your iTunes library on your computer, one option would be to delete all the music off your iPad, then update it to iOS 8 and sync all your music back to your iPad when it's done.  To delete all the music, you would go to Settings>General>Usage, tap on music in the apps list, then tap Edit and tap next to All Music.
    Here's an article about how to prepare for the iOS update: http://osxdaily.com/2014/09/07/prepare-ios-8-update/.

  • PLEASE HELP! I lost all my e-mails!

    I am a new PowerBook owner and am still learning about my computer. I have and e-mail issue. I just deleted an e-mail account in my mail program because I no longer need it as it is now forwarded to a new address. When I deleted the account, it deleted all of the e-mails in my in box, sent folder, etc. Some of these e-mails were very important!! How can I get them back? Why would the mail program do this?

    Before deleting an account in Tiger Mail, the following warning message is provided:
    Are you sure you want to remove the (account type here) account “XXXXXXXXXX”?
    This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Copies of messages on the mail server, if they exist, are not affected.
    This is usually ignored or not completely understood but is based on the Mail.app filing structure so now the long winded answer for the reason.
    Many other email clients utilize a single large database file which is not dependent on individual account and associated mailbox filing. When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) is created in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail using the Finder. For POP type accounts, the following mailbox (mbox) folders are created within the account named folder when the function is used by the account: INBOX.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox and Junk.mbox (when Junk mail is set to automatic). The mbox folders within the account named folder represent the account named mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (when Junk mail is set to automatic) in the Mail.app mailboxes drawer.
    When deleting an account in Mail, the account named folder at Home > Library > Mail is deleted at that time and as the warning message indicates, the associated account mailboxes within the account named folder are also deleted. You must select OK after the warning message appears.
    It would be preferable for the account named folder to be moved to the hard drive Trash can which requires an additional step to delete but this is not what occurs.
    To have any hope of recovering your data, you need to immediately stop using your system and then purchase a copy of a recovery tool such as Tech Tool Pro (Micromat) or Data Rescue (Prosoft Engineering), both of which have data recovery tools. I've not used Data Rescue, but I've seen reports that it recovers files that the others cannot, so it might be your best hope. The chances generally aren't really good even so, but short of sending your drive to a data recovery service (expensive), such utilities are your only hope.
    Note that the more you use your system before you attempt recovery, the more likely it is that the system will overwrite the sections of the drive where the data you want to recover is stored, rendering it unrecoverable by any means. You should therefore stop using the system completely until you get and try to use one of the file recovery tools.
    This also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a regular backup of the Mail folder and other important data.

  • Lost all my music on my iPod touch. Now I can't reload it from my computer because it states that it is in the cloud. How do I get my music back on my iPod touch so I can listen when I'm out of wifi range.

    I was trying to fix the "ghost" songs on my ipod touch 4th generation today. Somehow I ended up deleting all my songs from the touch. Now when I try to get them back from my computer it states that they have to be downloaded from the icloud first. Don't know how to do this or why I can't just drag and drop the music from the computer back onto my ipod touch.

    Follow the instructions here:
