Will all of my Music be gone off of my Ipod?

My brother bought a new computer because the old one broke , I think he has some data from the old computer though. I did not purchase anything from Itunes , I just have my music from Winamp. If I press transfer purchases from a New Itunes program , Will it have all of my music? Or will it delete it all?
I have a Third Generation Ipod Nano 8gb. If it'll delete everything , Is there something that will make me be able to transfer my music to Itunes???

*I did not purchase anything from Itunes,,,,,,,, If I press transfer purchases from a New Itunes program , Will it have all of my music?*
If you haven't any iTunes purchases on the iPod then Transfer Purchases isn't relevant to your situation. Transfer purchases won't transfer any other material than files from the iTunes Store.
*Is there something that will make me be able to transfer my music to Itunes???*
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update 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. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our 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
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
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
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, 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. 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.

I had to get a new computer an i want to get all of my music and photos off of my ipod onto the new itunes that i had to download on my new computer...how do i do that?

All of my music is gone from itunes and backup will not work. Help!

I opened my computer yesterday and everything was fine, except for itunes.. all of my music was gone. There's nothing in my music folders and my back up CDs aren't working!! Help!!!

Well there is malware going around that turns Windows users files invisible.
Your burned cd's are likely just fine, thats write protected media so malware can't do anything to that, but it can disable your cd drive or do something to Windows to make your files not appear.
So if your capable you can boot off a "recovery cd" access those invisible files on the boot drive or recover them directly off the boot drive using software that read's the 1's and 0's of the files themselves (not what Windows says as it won't be running) and transfer them to a external drive.
Windows will then have to be reinstalled to remove the malware completely.
Your backup cd's are safe I'm pretty sure. Good thing you backed up.
So until you get your Windows fixed, there really isn't anything we can do for you.
Good Luck

Have you checked to see if the media files are still on the computer? See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use that to put everything back

Plug it into iTunes, Control-click on the iPod in the left frame and select "Restore from backup." Should put it back like new.

this also happen with my iPhone 4.. I've used the same laptop for both and same iTunes account x

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

HT1430 If I reset my iPhone 4s will all my pictures , music & apps be deleted ?

If I reset my iPhone 4s will all my pictures music & apps be deleted ?

No.
Reset is very similar to rebooting your computer.
Restore will erase everything as will erase all content and settings

All Of My Music Is Gone- And Nowhere To Be Found

I just tried to open my iTunes this morning, only to find all of my music was gone. I tried doing a Finder search for aritst names, then titles, then for Mp4 formatted files which came up with only 38 of my 1256 songs. Anyone know what could have happened? I've put the songs i found back into my iTunes but does anyone have any idea where the other files could be? Or how I could get back at least the songs I purchased from iTunes?

Weird that a search isn't finding it. Are these located on an external hdd?
You might could try rebuilding your library:

Otherwise, the iTunes team may be able to make an exception and let you redownload your music. Can't say for sure, however. Email them here:

I switched to iCloud and all of my music is gone

I switched to iCloud and all of my music is gone and itunes is empty!!!! Also problems with calendar

Here's my problem - somewhat same topic I think. My kids on their devices have inadvertantly up until about a year ago purchased music with an email address I had briefly. A lot of it... And in past years I, on our itunes account have changed my email address as employment or the need arose.
The problem here is that the primary itunes account [email protected] for example, is what I setup all our devices to use itunes-icloud service yesterday that touts "access ALL of your music from your devices anywhere, anytime". OK. That's not true. It ONLY shows with the icloud icon in all of our devices the music either burned manually or associated with the itunes account we are logged into ([email protected]) Anything purchased from any of 3 other or more addresses (which none of us use or even have access to anylonger) are just not accessable.
I thought this was FINALLY going to be the ultimate sync across devices without wasting storage space needlessly.
What the heck?? I can't consolidate the accounts (the sensible approach here) and I can't see anyway to "alias" those to associate with the [email protected] or anything remotely making this a single library.
So...
I'm PAYING for a service that says I can get to all my music. NOPE. It DOES NOT DO THIS!!!
How about letting me add them to my appleID when managing my ID from apple.com? Nope. Doesn't work either. That's shortsighted Apple!! Come on!

I moved my music from the c drive to the d drive. All of my music is in itunes but my ipod won't sync with itunes. The syncing process is taking much longer than usual too. I left my ipod over night to sync and it didnt finish. Fails to sync every time.

I have just updated to iTunes 11. Now ALL my downloaded music has gone, and only plays when I'm connected to the internet.

NOT HAPPY. I've Just upgraded to iTunes 11 on a MBP 15" 2009 model, OS 10.8.2 I use my computer all over the place with NO internet and cannot access the HUNDREDS of tracks I've purchased and downloaded and been playing for years. How can I access them WITHOUT having to download the all again, using up my internet for HOURS and gobbling up my BANDWIDTH again! Also, I am NOT INTERESTED in streaming my music, as most places I use my computer, I have very limited, or no internet. Not Happy!!!
PLEASE someone give me an easy low-cost answer to getting access to my music again.
Alternatively, is there a way to go back to the previous iTunes?
Steve

Is the music actualy gone from your hard drive ?
If it is still there then under Preferences, Advanced Preferences is the iTunes Media folder location pointed in the right place? If not click on Change and repoint it to your files.
To Stop seeing all the icloud streaming versions again in Preferences, Store and uncheck the Show iTunes in the cloud purchases.
Hope this helps

I've just updated my ipod and all of my music has gone. how can i get it back?

I've just updated my ipod touch, all the music has gone. How do i get them back?

Just try resyncing it from your iTunes library.
If it was not in your iTunes library when you did the update it is gone.

I just updated my iTunes and now ALL of my music is gone what happened and how do I fix it ASAP?

Litterly 15 Mins ago all of my music was present. I - in fact - just finished using it to play a song. Then I got a window that popped up saying that my iTunes is in need of an update. So I update it then it said it was all up to snuff...
So I go back into my iTunes to continue using it
but now It's ALL GONE!!!!
what happened and how to I fix it ASAP???
---because this is like 80g's of music man, I spent Months - MONTHS ripping all my cd's and formating EVERYTHING NICELY into iTunes just to have the work poof disapear?
come on!

But I do back up everything, as much as I am able...
However, it seems to me I've got to shift everything back into iTunes - Again.
if this is the norm, I would like to see - for others because now I know! - a little warning
"Hi, We're iTunes, and you need an update. So please update, just let it be known however, then when you do - we'll delete your catalog and any playlists. Thanks for using iTunes"
something like that, because now I've gotta re-load everything back... bolics I say bolics.

Will all of my Music be gone off of my Ipod?
