My computer recently went crap on me so i took it to get fixed and they had to delete everything - so i knew when i plugged in my ipod again all my songs would
be deleted that were on my computer ... BUT I also purchase a lot of music from itunes & I plugged in my ipod all I had was 19 songs out of over 170 + paid
songs from itunes ... Where the heck are these songs
Does anyone know how i can retrieve them

When you plug it in you will only get back the ones you paid for. In itunes, go under the Store drop down menu and click authorize computer. It'll ask you
to log in. Maybe that'll work?

You could have downloaded a program like idump before reconnecting your ipod and it would have saved your songs from the ipod to the computer.

Since your computer was reformatted, iTunes sees it as a new computer. You have to authorize it...you get up to 5 authorizations, so you don't really have
to worry about it.

I'm having a similar problem. I also just had to get my computer fixed. The guy did save my songs but I had to reload Itunes and when I connect my ipod the
none of my playlists and things come up. My ipod is recognized as being connected but it says something about it being synced to another Itunes library and
none of my playlists are displayed.

if you dont have the original files in your computer anymore, and theyre not on your ipod, the only thing you can do is email apple and ask if theyll restore
your purchases to your new computer. They might, they might not..it just depends on who you talk to
