Songs are all gone from Ipod

My Ipod model number is MB263LL. I have not used my ipod for awhile and it seems that all of my downloaded songs are gone. I bought some songs from the Itune store and they are not in my Ipod for use. What could have happened? Please advise?

If you "wiped" the computer, the music will obviously no longer be there. If you then reinstalled iTunes and synced your iPod, it would have synced to an empty iTunes library, any songs on the iPod would be erased (because there are no songs in the iTunes library you synced to).
If you purchased songs from the iTunes Store, they may (?) allow you to re-download songs based on your purchase history. I say "may" because you are responsible for making backups of your downloaded songs, and they are not required to allow a second download (it's not a feature of the iTunes Store that you can re-download previously purchased songs). Note: There is a command under +File > Library > Back Up to Disc+ to help with doing a backup, even if you don't have a second hard drive to use for the backup.
You can contact iTunes Store support by following one of the topic links here
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/
until you get to a link that says "Still need help?" with a +Contact Us+ button. Through this link, you can send an email and explain your situation. They may reset the songs you previously purchased (minus any songs that are no longer available), and the songs can be downloaded again through iTunes.

My songs are all gone from my library.... but still scattered files on my computer... how can this be fixed?

I have 12000 songs and I can see some of them still scattered on some old files I have (transfered from old computers in files like "New Music" and such). Just about 4 days ago, all the songs are gone from ONLY my library when I restarted my computer. So it sounds like a corrupted file linking the songs but I dont know which one it would be.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967 May be of assistance in this case.

OMG Help notes are all gone from outlook and i phone I can't get them back

I havent synced my iphone in a long time. I used to have an itouch (gave it to my son) and everytime I synced it on itunes it was replacing what was on my itouch in outlook onto my iphone getting rid of the recent stuff it was a mess. I have had some stuff going on and i thought i should sync now since imp stuff going on. well I deleted what was in outlook hoping to just put what was on my iphone into outlook but it deleted everything i had in it on both phone and outlook except for what was actually added on phone not even the stuff I have typed in from older messages to update like all my blood pressures recently it is all gone, I am ready to freak out is there anyway to undo a sync or a delete and put it back on my phone, help please

You could just restore your Outlook PST file from the latest backup of your computer. This will not bring back what was on your phone.
This is what sync does. If you delete i in one place, it will delete it all the way down the line. If it were to bring it back from the phone after you told it you didn't want it anymore in outlook, what would be the point?

I just upgraded my to iOS5 but my songs are all gone. Anyway to fix this?

I tried to upgrade and I have back up my iPod but I still lost all my songs. Anyway to fix this?

No, the install of iOS 5 deletes almost all content... You will need to sync back with iTunes for your songs and Playlists.
Good Luck - Hope this Helps

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a thrid-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- The try syncing. If you synced last time with this computer you should not a have a problem.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

First of all, GarageBand iOS allows for only one tempo and there is no Merge Song feature.
What you can do.
Switch between the songs and copy-paste the individual Tracks. You can also Merge Tracks if you run into the 8 Track limitation.
Hope that helps

That usually means that you previously synced your iPhone to a different computer. An iPhone can only sync to one computer. If you try to sync to a different one the iTunes content on the phone will be replaced by the contents of the new computer.

Try:

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

HOW DO I GET MY SONGS BACK TO ITUNES FROM IPOD?

I recently had an incident with my Macbook which lead me to erase and reinstall Leopard. Obviously everything whats erased including my itunes songs. All of those songs are still on my iPod, so how do i transfer them back into my iTunes? I have the same login info and account. Shouldnt it recognize my iPod and allow me to just drag the songs back in? Help is much needed... thank you to all!

1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync 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.
Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to 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. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

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
4). 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.
5). 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 was using my notes earlier today and now for some reason they are all gone. How does this happen and is there anything I can do to get them back, the new ones also that haven't been synced.
