Why have all the songs been deleted when upgraded software

Hi my daughters both have an ipod touch which they got for Christmas. They've both tried to update the software this week and both despite backing up their songs have lost both songs and apps. Why is this and what can we do?

Music, inported videos and some other items are not part of the backup. The get synced from your iTunes library at the conclusion of an update. My guess is that the music were not in their iTunes libraries. For want a backup contains see:

Why are some of my purchased songs cutting off when I play them on my iPod but play fine on iTunes on my laptop?

Here's a question that's been bugging me for years, and I'm trying - again - to find an answer. I have a couple dozen songs purchased off the iTunes Store that are clipped then I play the on my iPod (4th or 5th generation; sorry that I can't remember). They cut off in exactly the same places. Re-syncing never helps. The songs all play just fine on iTunes on my laptop.
What's going on? How do I fix it? Thanks in advance!

Try deleting them from the iPod and redownloading them directly to the iPod
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Next:
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT203167 I have purchased numerous songs from itunes and most of them are no longer in my library. A fwe of them I even re-purchased. I have 5 shared computers, but are still shared. However, some of the songs I purchased recently on this computer. SO NOT

Itunes use to be so easy, but now it's always so difficult and I can't find about 75% of my purchases.
I'm so done with Itunes! Anyone know how to get back my music?

Sure.
Open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links, and redownload them.

Full ipod mini... how do i make it so I can still have all my songs on ...

how do i make it so that I can have all my songs on itunes, but only have some of them on my ipod?
there are those blue boxes with ticks in them, do they have anything to do with it?
thanks
xx

I the blue box is uncehcked and you open iTunes prefs -> iPod and select Update only checked songs, only songs with a check in front will get updated onto the iPod.
I only use the checkmarks for stuff like Christmas songs and such I only want rarely on the iPod.
If your library is too large to fit on the iPod, iTunes will create a playlist for you.
Here's how I do it instead.
Create a Smart Playlist.
Make it Match Rules;
My rating is not one star.
Not heard in last 3 days.
Limit it to 3700 MB (for a 4 GB mini).
Open iTunes prefs -> iPod and select Auto update only this playlist.
Also, deselect Enable disk use.
When you want to change the music on the iPod, simply open the Smart playlist, select all the songs on it (ctrl A) and press delete.
They will all go away and it will fill up again. (It's a Smart Playlist)
Then connect the iPod to update it.
When listening, if there are songs you do not like, rate them one star and they will not get put back onto the iPod.

Why wont all my songs on itunes go to my phone?

i have about 900 songs on itunes. when i sync my phone only about 90 songs show in my phone. why wont the rest of the songs show up?

This link provides the location where your iTunes media folder is located.
Deleting the iTunes app does not touch your iTunes media folder.
Once found, you need to select the location at iTunes > Preferences under the Advanced tab.

Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes?, Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes?

Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes? I thought the purpose of purchasing from itunes when you have icloud is that you don't have to download each song/album that you want to hear. I get like 5-10 songs from the last two albums i have downloaded, but not the entire album.

Are you talking about iTunes Match? If so, you don't have to download entire albums, all you have to do is play the songs you want to hear.
If you're asking why you have to download the music at all rather than just playing it from iCloud, the music has to be stored locally on your device, either in permanent or cache memory, in order for your device to play it.

I have all my songs in my iTunes library on the computer, but when I press the button to sync it, it doesn't put the songs on my iPhone. I have songs from my iPod on here too. How do I get it to put the songs on my iPhone?

HT1386 I cannot sync my iPod with the Playlists that I want. For example, I have all the songs in my classical Playlist checked but it doesn't appear in my iPod after syncing. Also I don't get an opportunity to review sync options.

Hello Jefflo64,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with syncing music to your iPod. For issues like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPod.
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPod by unchecking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply," then checking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply" again.
You can find the syncing steps in the following article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

HT4972 why dont I have an update facility on my ipad

Why dont I have an update facility on my ipad

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom

Hi
-I have organized all my songs in iTunes ,deleted unwanted songs and updated the album artwork but it has not changed them in my iTunes media folder location in my C Drive.
How do I update it there so it is the same as my iTunes now so i can back it all up?
Thankyou.

I solved my problem. Here's how:
1. Right click iTunes and click properties from the "Windows 8 Desktop" (or if you want to call it the 7 desktop thats fine too)
2. Select the compatibility tab.
3. Set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and click apply.
4. Open iTunes, sign into iTunes store, Turn on iTunes Match, Add your computer.
5. Close Program
6. Restart Computer

By 'purchased items' do you mean the Purchased link under Quick Links in the store ? If you do then do other songs that you've purchased appear there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ?

When ever I connect my IPhone 5 to my computer over 400 songs have to be syncronised, why? I have no new songs in my library.

Do you have Genius enabled with your iTunes library on your computer with iTunes? If so, updated Genius data for the songs is being updated on your iPhone.
