First my music folder deleted all it's contents and i couldn't even open the folder which last i had plugged it in all my music was there and worked fine. Now no computer will even read the hard drive at all which has my pictures, music (maybe?), documents? This HAS to be fixed!?

Run Recuva on the Pc and pray...
There should never be a 'HAS to be fixed", absolutely everything important HAS to be backed up. A backup is another copy thats stored on another device. All drives fail eventually and you need to be prepared. The more backup copies you have, the safer the data is. I even keep copies of my family pics and videos in my sisters basement in case my house burns down.

Hi there jekim1990,
This is really unpleasant.
I would agree with popatim and say that you need to use some data recovery tool: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1644496/lost-data-recovery.html
After that, it may be a good idea to test the drive, as it may be failing: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
Observe the SMART report and look for reallocated/pending/uncorrectable sectors.
Let us know how this goes,
