All songs are erased when connecting Ipod Nano to PC.

It happened a few times now since the last few months, so last momnth I uppdated all softwares and installed the latest Itune. But it happened again last night. All songs got erased as soon as I plugged in my Ipod Nano to update or add new songs. Anyone experience that, what can it be.

Ok that does not help my case, but I may give you some guide lines regarding your nano that won't register to your PC, try resetting your nano and installing the latest software, including the latest itunes.

Where did you get your music from, is it all in your iTunes? If so I'm not sure why its doing that, but if you got your music from multiple computers for instance you need to be on manual mode, otherwise if theres nothing in your itunes library when you sync the ipod it will replace anything on the ipod with whats in your itunes

Ok not sure what you mean, I did have to restore it It's my daughter's ipod)at work on my computer, added a few songs to see if it works, so it worked, gave it to her and she strted using it at home on the home computer and synched her ipod with Itunes to download her songs, was good for a few weeks and then last week she connected the usb cable to put more songs, that's when she lost everything and Itunes said to use the Ipod updater.... again!!!
So do you mean that I she has to be on manual mode at home, since I initally put some music on my work computer???

If you enable disk mode in the iPod's settings it should follow to each computer, if not you need to make sure to enable manual mode on each computer its on, or it will erase the contents of the iPod and replace it with the contents of the iTunes library every time you sync.

It happened again, as we plug the nano, itunes ejects it on its owns and erases all the songs.
What's wrong??
We have updated to the latest softwares already.
