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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

FAKE because you cant transfer stuff from an ipod to a computer//so you cantput your songs on another computer

its not fake because if you have real player you can also transfer songs from ipod to computer... also if you bought your songs from itunes im sure you can get them back from the itunes store

it doesn't matter if he downloaded them legally or not, it's just that he spent time collecting those songs and files and then in a swipe they're all gone. itunes doesn't let you get back tv programs. i've had all of my stuff deleted once before.

Wow guys. It's simple. All you have to do is connect your ipod, go to 'my computer'. click on the ipod drive. tell it to show all hidden files. find the folder labeled 'music'. it'll have a bunch of weird letters for folders. just copy all of those into itunes and itunes will know how to label them all! and voila, you have an "ipod sync"

YDI for not asking pretty much any computer literate guy about it who would have simply booted into a live linux CD and recovered everything kthx.

they make external drives for a reason. YDI for not having a back up!

I've done this before and I've NEVER lost even ONE FILE. I had a bunch of corrupted ones. You sure your bro didn't play with magnets?

only a couple of songs should have been deleted, not the whole playlist. Anyways, FYL

ibimmer you are wrong. when you plug your iPod into a new or restored computer, and it does not recognize the information on your iPod, it will ask you if you want to transfer the info to your computer. YMI for not being a true iPod/ iPhone owner. btw, I'm only 13.
