Help, major itunes trouble!!!?

Question

well, i had an ipod(and still have it) for a couple months now. i haven't had any trouble with downloading music/updating my ipod, until today. i went to go on itunes, and it came up, however, the songs i had in it before aren't in it! i don't know why they aren't, and i don't really know what do do. i still have the songs, from limewire, but i don't have them on itunes. my ipod still has the music on there. do i reload the songs on itunes? if i do that, will i have double of every song on my ipod? i'm afraid to even plug it into the computer, because i don't want all of my music to disappear completely. what should i do? anyone that is familiar with itunes, please answer!

Answer 1

when in the itunes store, click Store, on the top menu, and click check for purposes. idk if this will help, but it's worth a try.

Answer 2

this also happened 2 me. do not be afraid to plug in ur ipod, it will automatically put the songs into iTunes. Other than that if u imported the songs onto itunes there will be a folder in My Music that will have ur iTunes library in folders.

Answer 3

you can try a system restore to the day that it actually started acting up. Otherwise, you can try just leaving iTunes the way it is (without any songs in your library) and download a program called music rescue. It can rip all or any of the songs from your ipod onto your computer (helpful!) If you do that, just put your songs into a folder and then from there, to iTunes. hope that helps! :P
