Help! Having a problem getting music off of ipod onto new itunes

My old laptop had a itunes downloaded on it, but I recently got a new laptop and i just downloaded itunes onto the new laptop. The problem I am facing is that I can not figure out how to get the music i already have on my ipod onto the itunes i just downloaded. HELP

You are having problems because iTunes is not designed to work that way. Syncing is one way, computer to device. Copy the whole iTunes folder from your old laptop or your backup (you do have one, don't you?) to the same location on the new one. If you no longer have the old laptop you will have to use third party software to copy just media files, then rebuild all yoru playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. by hand.
Any items you purchased from Apple can be downloaded to iTunes from the iTunes store again, if that feature is available in your ocuntry.

Computer died. Now have new one. Need to get music off of ipods onto new compouter. How?

Old computer died. New computer, Installed iTunes on Windows 7. Have iPods in family. Want to get music back from iPods onto computer. Can't figure it ouit. Should not be this hard. Did manage to get purchased downloaded apps. Just can't get music. Any way to do this?
So far, apple help *****. They want money. Docs don't seem to say how to do it. iTunes just wants to wipe out iPod and replace current contents with nothing.

Launch iTunes on the new computer.
From the menu bar at the top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer
Connect the iPod to the computer.
From the iTunes menu bar click File / Transfer Purchases From....

This is a message letting all Windows itunes users how to put music from any ipod onto their itunes, or other music player. Many people are annoyed when itunes doesn't let them put music from an ipod, thats not registered with their computer, into their itunes. I found that it is possible. First, you must open Search from the start menu and make sure your ipod is connected to your computer. Next, set the search prefrences to search for hidden files and tell it to search for music(on the ipod). Once you begin the search, you will be shown all the hidden music files that are on your ipod. After the search, just drag the files to itunes and they'll import.*

My hard drive crashed and I lost everything on it, including my music, however, I have most of it on my ipod. I got a new computer and loaded up itunes but it doesnt recognize my ipod when I connect it. Is there a way to get the music off of my ipod onto my new computer WITHOUT erasing everything?

you can try to download and install a 3rd party software on your new pc, use it to do the transfer ..

Getting music off of Ipod onto Itunes using iDump

My hard drive recently crashed so all my music and videos are gone but all it's all on my Ipod. I read about the program iDump that allows you to transfer the stuff on your Ipod onto Itunes but I'm not very technical and couldn't figure out how to us it. Can anyone give me simple directions on how to do that please?

iDump does work but it takes a while to import each song individually from the music file.

I did not sync music properly to computer from iphone3. have new iphone4. how can i get music off old phone onto new one. new phone all set up. help

I did not sync my iphone3 music to my computer. Thought I did it properly but did not. New at this stuff. Now my IT person installed and configured my new iphone4 and my music is on old phone. Anyway to get it to new phone. Help.:)

Set up your new phone as if it were the old one. Settings, mail, mobile me, same email same password that you used on old phone. You can still sync the old phone to iTunes library. You may have to click on picture of phone on the left & click on back up iPhone. You'll see songs, contacts & calendar downloading in apple slot at the top. When done connect new phone. Authorize computer put in apple ID when that screen comes up & that should allow both phones to share the library. If you use the same ID the same information will be on both phones.

Getting music off of ipod

Hi! My computer recently crashed and i lost all my music and i can not seem to find the cd i burned with all my music. I have been dying to update my ipod, but I am afraid I will loose all of my music already on there. My question, is there anyway i can get the music off my ipod onto my computer? And if so, how do I need to congfigure itunes to put my old music and my new music back on to my ipod. Please be kind, for i am not the smartest person when it comes to how ipods work.
Thanks

You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

WHAT SHOULD I DO

Use the backup of your computer and put the songs back on. If these are iTunes songs you can download them again on your computer and sync the nano.
