Unfortunately, my favorite songs were just deleted accidently from iPod touch by someone I don't know, so that I cannot share them with my friend.
How can I recover deleted iPod music instantly?
Maybe you can easily undelete iPod lost songs, if you know where you got these songs or who you have shared them with. And as is known, iPod music comes from iTunes store, iCloud, other family members or computer.
Therefore, there should be four methods that can undelete iPod lost music.
While your iPod music is saved on iTunes library or computer, please open iTunes to sync music from computer to iPod touch.
With iCloud, you can store and access all of the music you purchase in the iTunes Store on all of your devices. And we know that previously purchased content will appear within the purchased section of the iTunes app as long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID used to purchase the content. So when iPod music lost, you can try to recover iPod lost music from iCloud with Apple ID.
Step 1: Sign in to iCloud service with Apple ID. Go to Settings - iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID and the password.
Step 2: Launch the iTunes app iTunes Store from your device's Home screen. Then tab Purchased and select Not on This iPod.
Step 3: You will see all music purchased by you but not on device currently. Select the artist you want to download songs from. (There are no songs listed there because I have not purchased music in iTunes Store.)
Step 4: Tap Download All button to download all purchased music. Or you can select a specific song you want to download by clicking the iCloud icon next to it.
With Family Sharing on iPod, we can share purchased content with other members of family. Whenever a family member buys a new song or album, everyone else can download and enjoy it. So if you other members of your family have ever purchased the same songs your iPod lost, or they have downloaded your iPod music, now you can download iPod songs from other family members again.
To download songs purchased by other members of your family, go to iTunes Store, tap More - Purchased, then choose a family member.
If you have iTunes backup of iPod music, or above methods are not available for you, you can recover iPod lost music with iOS data recovery tool by yourself.
For example, iOS Data Genius can do iPod music recovery no matter you have iTunes backup or not.
When you have iTunes backup, please follow steps below to undelete iPod lost songs.
Step 1: Install and run iOS Data Genius on Windows computer.
Step 2: Choose Recover from iTunes Backup File on the top of iOS Data Genius screen.
Step 3: Select iTunes backup file for your iPod and tap Start Scan button.
Step 4: Click Videos folder on the left side of new screen, and preview deleted music on the right.
Step 5: Tick the music you want to recover, and tap Recover button.
Step 6: Browse a folder to save music on computer.
Step 7: Sync music on computer to iPod with iTunes after you get following message.
However, if you cannot sure whether you have iPod iTunes backup, please choose Recover from iOS Device after running iOS Data Genius, and scan iOS device. Then follow the operations same to "Recover from iTunes Backup File".
