My iPod just deleted all its songs itself! But when I plug it in the space is used but no songs! I used my iPod daily and am trying to get all the songs on it but its gonna take ages can anyone help?

Why not use iTunes to restore the iPod to its factory settings, then re-synch it ?



EDIT - I myself did suffer the same problem with my Classic - the tracks all disappeared, although the space was still being used. iTunes could not repair the iPod, giving some meaningless error code. So out of desperation I went into "My Computer", right clicked on the icon for the iPod ( it shows up as a drive ) and selected "Format". This left me with a blank iPod. When I relaunched iTunes it detected the corrupt iPod once again, but successfully repaired it. I then clicked "Sync", and all my tracks were loaded back into the iPod. Took ages to do, but it worked . . . .

How do you do that?

Please see the edit to my post - as is usual with me, I remembered more info about a nanosecond after clicking "post"

First port of call would be to the iPod screen in iTunes, where you'll find a repair option . . .

Thanks! i use realplayer with all my songs and have changed to another computer, not the one it happened on. Will it work?

A quick Google yielded this program, which may do the task you require :

But you must have been using iTunes with your iPod? iPod's don;t support realplayer....

Thanks my computer's dodgy so i hope it works
