My 120gb ipod randomly deleted all my music on it. Unfortunately, because my mac crashed about 6 months ago and I've only just got it fixed, I haven't got all my songs on my itunes to just load it all up again. However though, I strangely still have files which I loaded onto it's hard drive and it is indicating that I only have 20gb of space left, which is the exact amount I had when all of the songs were on it. Any help?

You Itunes purchases have to be restored to the hard drive as well. Otherwise you will have to repurchase them. Itunes doesn't allow you to copy your purchased songs from your Ipod into the library on your hard drive. You can play them from Ipod as long as you enter you Itunes account information. Make sure your Ipod is set to manually manage music or you will wipe out the songs.
