Today, I got a new computer because my old one crashed, deleting all music, photos, and documents. I still had all my music on my iPod though, and went to sync it to the new computer. By accident, my younger brother pulled the cord out before it was done, deleting all 3,000 songs forever. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my computer stopped working. Me, the technology challenged one, decided to do a system recovery on it hoping that I could make it better. Turns out, system recovery means deleting all the files off the computer including family photos, music and assignments and starting fresh. FML
Today, my parents got me a new computer for my birthday. They also took the liberty of throwing out my old computer, with 8 years of photos, videos, music, documents, emails, and bookmarks on it. But that's okay, I had a backup. They threw that out too. FML
Today, my computer crashed and lost all of its data while I was making a back up. FML
Today, I deleted a load of junk that was messing up my mother's computer. I don't know how I'm going to tell her I accidentally wiped out all of her wedding photos. FML
Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML
Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML
Today, I lost two terabytes' worth of photos to a friend's incompetence. He said he could save me some money and fix my slow computer for free. He ended up wiping the hard drive, and along with it, my photography portfolio from the last five years. FML
Today, I bought a new iPod to replace my old one which decided to stop working. After purchasing my new nano iPod, I decided to bang my old iPod on the desk very hard because it was useless. It started working again. FML
Today, I woke up to find out that my phone, which contained all of my pictures and videos from the past year, had completely crashed. Despite trying everything, I couldn't recover any of the data, even from the cloud backup. All those memories, gone forever. FML
Today, I was colouring countries on a map on my computer whilst listening to music. I was almost done when, whilst swinging my legs to the beat, my leg caught on the computer’s power cord and pulled it out. I was so caught up in the job I hadn’t saved in a while, so all my progress went up in digital smoke. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

invest in an external hard drive for backing your stuff up.

Why don't you just cry like a little whiny baby about it. There's so many people that actually have crappy lives like little kids who don't have families, or people that get hit by drunk drivers and don't have any legs, and your crying over unimportant music. At least you have a new computer you can download more music on. In fact, it's your fault because you didn't think to back up your data from your computer in advance. All computers will fail eventually. I seriously think fmylife needs to have a button that says, "Quit being a little whiny bitch, you'll get over it!"

dude if you bought all those songs from iTunes or any of the songs you can email iTunes support and complain your computer crashed or you got a new one or something like your case just tell them and they will let you re download all the songs for free again. not lying either they let my girlfriend and her step dad do it.

really? just go to an electronics store and tell them that it crashed, they can take out the hard drive and copy everything over to the new one.

whenever you sync your iPod/iPhone to a new computer with iTunes it can transfer all your puchased music to the new iTunes, even if they are not saved as hard drive file format. they cam just be iPod mode songs.

I'm not sure about iPods, but you can sync iPhones & computers, so I imagine you'd be able to do it with an iPod too.

That sucks about losing your music! We lost everything on my old computer (but it still works) and I just recently found a site called Picasso from google and every single picture was restored even stuff from over 5 years ago that I totally forgot about! It's free!!

#97 is right. I'm pretty sure u pressed sync with this computer so it deleted all ur songs.. it was not ur brother. so don't blame it on him. In the meantime, I am certain you are a teenager and get your songs illegally instead of getting a job and paying for them. so you deserve it anyway.
