Help Please! Syncing from my ipod touch

I've connected my ipod to my computer as per and it's synced all the purchases i've made on my ipod to my computer, but just at the end it gives an error message and lo and behold i've lost about 1000 songs. Not sure where, or which ones, but my numbers are down. My playlists have gone and there are now only 2 songs in the 'purchased on ipod' playlist when there should be about 100. The songs that are in my library now seem to be really outdated - i mean that it's only saying that i've played them a couple of times, when this is not the case. I have all the purchase histories for my music on itunes, so i suppose i can get these back from apple if neccessary, but thought i'd see if anyone was any the wiser first! And also was curious to know if anyone knew how to get in touch with apple...?
Thanks!
Amy

*I have all the purchase histories for my music on itunes, so i suppose i can get these back from apple if neccessary*
The policy on iTunes purchases is that (apart from Apps) you can only download them once and if they are lost you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support
You could also see if this page helps locate anything that was previously on your computer that you can no longer find in your library: iTunes Music Store: Finding missing music and video downloads

What is synced from my iPod touch to iTunes when I transfer purchases?

I clicked to go ahead with updating software for iPod Touch (4th gen), but got a warning that I should first transfer all purchased items from iPod to iTunes Library. I don't know that much about iPod, so I would appreciate an answer: what does this mean? I see that when I look at the iPod part of iTunes sidebar there is a category called "Purchased," and in it are various items, all of them PDFs I think, that were not purchased but just saved attachments from emails, which show up in the iBooks app. However I have purchased a few apps for the iTouch. Will I lose my PDFs if I don't drag them into somewhere in the upper Library section of the iTunes window? But where, then? The categories are only Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Apps and Radio. These files are none of the above.
(My actual, real purchases-- i.e., a few apps, are already in iTunes' Library>Apps section so I assume these are not the purchases referred to in the download warning.)

- Here is how you transfer iTunes purchases from your iPod to your computer:

- You can also redownload app at no additional cost. See:

- If the PDFs are in your iTunes library on your computer you will not loose them when updating.

I am trying to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. Please help me..

I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion. use your backup copy to put everything back.

My old laptop crashed and I need to restore my iTunes music and movies to my new laptop from my iPod Touch. Help please. Thanks!

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB

doesn't download videos
I seen so many of these post for windows users.
Try my little "trick" (must be running iOS 4.3 or better)
Download the app "Download Manager Lite" (FREE) or "Download Manager" Full ($ 1.99 USD)
After downloading, transfer it to iTunes
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
After transferring, Go to your iDevice (on itunes), to the apps page, scroll down, you can add/save videos and/or files.
Click on "Add", find the folder of which your movies are being downloaded. Its much faster than syncing from itunes.
You can do the wi-fi transfer, the best part is that you don't have to be connected to the same wi-fi.
You will get 2 different URLs you need to type on your computer. Type the Web URL not the ftp URL. After that, you should have access to the app, without the need of itunes.
Click on Add, find the folder of where your movies are stored, faster than syncing with iTunes.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

I installed itunes 10.5 in my PC to sync with my ipod touch $G but it's giving me error message that itunes could not connect to itunes store..."make sure network is active and try again." I'm connected to internet though so I don't understand please help!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
The ipod is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase 3rd party software to extract other content ( not supported by Apple).

How do I transfer a voice memo from my Ipod touch to my windows 8 PC please?

Hi its pretty simple. So
*First download the latest iTunes version and install it on the PC.
*Plug in your Apple Device to your PC
*The iTunes window will automatically pop up when you have connected your device, if it doesnt happen , open iTunes manually.
*Choose Your device and there it would show you the "Summary","Apps", "Music","Movies" etc etc..
*Go to Music and click on the option "Sync Music"
*When you tick that option , the other options would be enabled.They are the "Entire Library", "Selected Playlists...", "include music videos", "include voice memos".
*Tick only "Include voice memos"
*Now it should start syncing and show you a separate folder saying Voice Memos on the Left side where all your other folders are there on itunes page.
*You can access those audio files by going to the C:_Users*_My Music_iTunes_iTunes media_Voice Memos!!
NOTE: IF THOSE VOICE MEMOS DONT GET TRANSFERRED TO YOUR PC , THEN IN YOUR DEVICE , NAME ALL YOUR VOICE MEMOS AND THEN TRY THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN.
NO NEED TO BE DOWNLOADING THE ITUNES AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Hope this helps You
