Help! My computer just erased all the files from my iPod!

They’re still all in my iTunes library. How do I restore them to my device?

1. I wish I knew but good luck saving your files.

Update: I had forgotten about an old Mac Mini that had my whole library on it, or most of...thank you for your post! I am reunited with awesome music I thought gone forever. Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo!

2. First, make a duplicate of your itunes folder

3. Is there a "Sync" option under your iPod in iTunes?

Haven't used iTunes for over 10 tears (it rearranged the location of all my music files), but I seem to recall "syncing".

4. I was trying to sync new purchases to my device when

I noticed there were no longer any files on it.

6. Does it have to do with manual or automatic sync?? If you originally manually managed the songs

and switched it to auto it would resync to match only the iPod playlists in iTunes.

At any rate you can just redo it in iTunes.
