How to reset myiPod classic

My ipod classic keeps shutting off. The apple logo is shown on the main screen. Wait sometime 5 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes it eventually comes back on. This time there was a message to reconnect my ipod to my computer, which I did. But then I lost all the songs I had on the ipod. I use it for music only. When I went to re-install all the music i have on iTunes on my primary desktop computer it only loaded some of them.

I would like to know how I can get all the songs in itunes onto my ipod.

Thanks

Ken

If it had to reset, you might need to change the sync settings again: Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes on your computer - Apple Support


If you've already told it to Sync All and it's giving the same results, then you might need to download the songs to your computer again*

*You can check this upfront by going to your iTunes library. Anything with this little cloud icon is not downloaded, but is available to do so. If a song is not downloaded to your computer, it will not sync to the iPod.


Let me know If you run into any more specific problems. :)
