Why did I lose my music when I download and sync a movie

We're new to ipods and itunes. We had a couple songs on our ipod and wanted to get a movie. It took us awhile to figure out how to sync it, but when we did, we got a message that said it would clear out our other libraries. I should have kept the exact message, but I didn't. I figured, OK, we'll just resync for the music again and went ahead. After resyncing after the movie, I was charged again for the music.
Now, my son bought new music and synced it, but lost the movie we downloaded. Why does it do that and how can I avoid it?

    Why did I lose my old documents on Pages and Numbers when I updated my computer. I didnt need a new version. I have been using the same hand outs for 8 years. Some I can see, some say you cant open unless you buy numbers.....again

    The old version of iWork should still be on your computer.
    Check in Applications (Command-Shift-A) for an iWork '09 folder.

  • Why did all my data erase when i downloaded iOs6?

    All my data was erase when i downloaded the ios6. All my apps, notes, email e.t.c. and no where did it say it was going to do that. On the last software update it didn't but, on this one it did.
    Is that supposed to happen? is here a way to get everything back?

  • Why did I lose my apps when I synced with my laptop?

    as per above

    Thanks for the responses thus far. Some more details:
    - It was the laptop I synced with the first time I loaded the iPad with music... but that was several months ago and I have not synced since
    - the iTunes account is the same (I think) on both of them (but am having trouble checking - is there an easy way? in "General" I cannot find it)
    - all apps were purchased with my account; now all are gone, including The Economist, Figaro, a few kids games, ...even the iBook reader!
    any ideas? I can re-install everything, not a big deal, but it is a real pain if this keeps happening!
    thanks in advance for any ideas

  • Why did I lose my sound when I updated to 6.1?

    I just updated my iPad and now the sound control is not there

    No, it is not happening to a lot of people.
    Those that are smart enough to backup their important data regularly have no issues at all.
    For what silly reason would anyone attempt an update on their device without first ensuring a backup of all the important data on the device existed?
    For what silly reason would any intelligent person rely on a device so easily lost/stolen or damaged as sole storage of important data?
    Stop being a silly person... take responsibility for ensuring that YOUR data is safe, secure, and backed up.  It is no one's fault but the user if they lose data.

  • Why did I lose my applications when updating to new version?

    I have just updated to the latest version for my iPad. Lost all applications. In fact it has taken my iPhone4 applications and put it on the iPad. WHY????????????? Please help. Thanks

    You can sync the apps back to the iPad if they are in iTunes on your computer.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes - If you auto sync, let the process complete.
    Click on the iPad name on the left sidebar of iTunes under the devices heading.
    Click on the Apps Tab at the top of the iTunes window on the right.
    Click on each app that you want to sync to the device - uncheck each app that you do not want to sync
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.
    iTunes will now remember the iPad's configuration for the next time that you sync. Do the same thing with your iPhone - iTunes will remember that configuration as well.
    You can always download apps again at no charge (if all else fails) as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.

  • Why did I lose 2000  songs when I got this new computer?

    All songs lost except purchased itunes. i had at least 2000 songs

    Did you move your library from the old one?  Like moving furniture when you move house, it will not magically transfer without action on your part.  Most things are only on the computer, not somewhere out in Internet land somewhere.  Purchases do appear but not because they are transferring but because you are connecting to the Store and have automatic downloads activated which will download any available purchases you have made to any computer you own.

  • Why did I lose my iPhoto when upgrading to Mavericks.  I have a mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro

    My version of iPhoto is not working after upgrading to Mavericks OS

    I have the exact same issue. Mid 2010 MBP. I ran software update before the upgrade, ran the upgrade, no longer have iLife / iWork (Garage Band, Pages etc) all gone.
    All I can think to do is dig out my disks which are burried away with the box.
    Ive upgraded the through Lion, Leopard etc and this has not happened. Also, JRE/JDK uninstalled itself so I had to reinstall that and Netbeans.
    All in all a pretty crap update. Losing iPhoto is a pain in the neck and really should not have happened. I have an email out with App Store support. I am not paying £10+ to re-download something I already technically own!

  • When I downloaded Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 I lost all my Bookmarks. I went back to using the older version and get the message that it is no longer supported or covered by virus protection. Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

    Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • Why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

    why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

    Because ipod touch will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another wil erase the current content.
    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    You can redownload apps:

  • HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

    Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

    What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
    Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.
