I accidently synced my ipod to itunes and all musics are gone

I recently used other program called copytrans manager to transfer musics to my ipod

and yesterday I don't know why I did it, but I hit the backup button, assuming that will save my musics files too,

and hit the sync! but I felt weird so I canceled the sessions as soon as the syncing process was ongoing.

However, after that, I clicked music file on my ipod to listen to music and

musics kept skipping to the next one and finally all of them are gone and I only have

2 musics which I purchased in itunes store. and in my playlists, sopt mark in the circle was shown right next to the title of the music.

my ipod is 5th generation and I was about to update mine to 7.02, I think? and I am using the latest itunes.

I used to have about 900 songs in my ipod and my itunes has only 400 out of 900. so....

Is there any way that I can recover my ipod? like is there any time machine?

please help me please!! I am desperate now!!!

If the music was not on your computer iTunes, then it's gone.

Only music from iTunes purchases can be transferred to computer iTunes.

I suspect that there's a reason why Copytrans Manager is not available from Apple's iTunes Store. Your iPod may well be jailbroke and, if that is the case, no one here can help you.

Maybe by one of the programs listed here:

Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities

However, the actual song files might not exist on the iPod (only the titles) so the non-iTunes purchases may have to be reimported into your iTunes library. From a Time Machine backup would be fine.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
