While backing up iPod Touch, all songs are deleted. How do I get them back?

*I am really confused. REALLY confused. I was downloading a new update for my iPod touch and I go to look at my songs and NONE of them are there. NONE. How do I get them back? I have iTunes downloaded on a couple of computers, so my songs are kind of scattered, but they load onto all computers when I charge. Someone please help me!*

Installing an OS (particularly major updates like iOS 4) sometimes means that your iPod is erased and its up to you to re-load it from whatever sources you used to load it in the first place. So, you cannot retrieve files that we removed from your iPod during the OS installation -- you'll need to go back to each of the computers you loaded music from.

All songs are gone. Can I get them back?

Hey everyone! O.K. My step-daughter was here for the summer, She got a nano for her b-day and I put all of my songs on her iPod nano. Then she went back to her Mom's and she pluged it into her friends computer(which had iTunes but no songs). A ballon poped up that asked if she wanted to update to new library and she ticked yes. So now, of course, all of her songs are gone. Does anyone know if we can get them back without using my computer(She's 4 hours away)? Please Help!

If you're desperate, check out this post.

If those songs originally on the iPod were overwritten with new songs, it's probably a lost cause.

My computer crashed and all songs were lost, how do I get them back?

My Dell computer crashed, and I lost my songs in my library. When I plugged it back in, only the purchased songs were put back in the library. How can I put all of the songs on my iPod Touch back into my iTunes library? Please help me! Thank you so much!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use this to put everything back.
The music sync is one way -computer to ipod. The exception is itunes music.

The built in apps on my ipod touch 4g were erased. How do i get them back?

- They can't be deleted. However, some can be hidden by Restrictions. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions
- Have you tried using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find them
- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

My back button, print, and address bar are missing how do I get them back?

tool bar went missing for unknown reason, no back button, no print button no address bar or bookmarks.

''My back button, print, and address bar are missing''
Use "Alt" to make sure the menu bar is visible, then View > Toolbars > ... -- make sure that the Navigation bar is checkmarked, if tabs on top is confusing uncheck that, if you want to see menus and title bar make sure menu bar is check-marked.
If things don't stay put on the toolbars then

I synced my iPod to a new music folder and now all of my games (Klondike, Vortex, etc) are gone - how do I get them back? Please help! Thanks!

Aren't those the default games that come with the iPod Classic? If so, they won't be in your iTunes library, but only on your iPod Classic itself as they are built in the iPod's software.

HI guys

thx for help !!!!!

Which photos? If the missing photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time. Synced photos are not in the backup that iTunes makes.

This is asked and answered often. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature.

Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

You can get iTunes purchases back by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

I opened iPhoto and it opened as if i just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back?

I opened iPhoto and it opened as if I just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back? Luckily for the most part, I backed up photos on my flash drive, but I had just imported dozens of pictures from my phone. I reopen iPhoto soon after and the prompt asking how I would like to start iPhoto and all came up. I selected what brought me to the iPhoto I open up to every day only without any pictures.

Are you in the correct account that contains the iPhoto Library?
Did you ever move your iPhoto Library to an external drive? If so, and you disconnect this drive, iPhoto will create a new blank one in the pictures folder.
Check your computer to see if the "iPhoto Library" was accidently moved to the trash.
If you still can't locate your images, launch finder, and select "all images" in the source column. This will display all images on your computer. Be carefull not to delete, move or modify the images you see in this manner, as it will cause issues with good iPhoto Libraries, however it may help us locate where the images are.
Once you locate an image, click it once, then in the top menu bar, select "view / show path". This will display it's location along the bottom of the finder window.
Once you know where the image is, this should help you launch iPhoto to the correct library.

I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

Well, when you restore your ipad, there is really no way to get the information back. The reason you restore it i to get all of the information off of it. Why did you restore it if you wanted to keep the info?
Aa far as I know, there is no way to un-restore any device. But, you can put the info back onto the device if it was on your computer, etc.
Sorry...
