Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content

One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

How can I take my music off my ipod and onto my mac

is there a program to take music from your ipod and put it on to your apple computer?

If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
A selection of iPod/iPhone to iTunes utilities:
Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

Basically, the computer thinks the music is 'lost'. Follow the prompts and try to locate it. It should navigate to the files and redraw the links which should make that pop up go away

Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

What, no backup. Download Yamipod on your computer?

iTunes sync is one way from your computer to your iOS device.
You will need a third party software such as TouchCopy to do that.

How can I get my music off my nano and into my itunes library?

We did an erase/install on our imac and forgot to back up the itunes library. Thankfully my music is on my ipod, but how do I get it back into my library?

You can try some 3rd party utilities like those above. Your mileage may vary.
Officially, there is no way to get music off your iPod and onto your computer. Sync is 1 way only.

How can I save text messages to my Mac and will that reduce "Other" in storage?

I have hundreds (or more) of text messages on my iPhone 5 that for personal reasons, I want to save. There are far too many to do screenshots. I want to save them to my MacBook Pro Retina in a readable and printable format. The reason is that I read that text messages can cause the "Other" storage to be higher. My "Other" is over 6 GB on a 16 GB iphone. Therefore I want to save texts, print them, and delete from phone.
First question: Is it true that text messages contribute to the size of "Other"?
Second question: How can I save texts to Mac in readable format so they could be printed?
Third question: How in the world do I delete all these texts from my iPhone efficiently? Is there a way to "mass delete"?
When you are answering this, perhaps it is noteworthy that:
(a) I've had an iPhone since a 3G in 2009, and the texts I want to save have been accumulating since then.
(b) My "Other" has gradually gotten larger over the years.
(c) I sync with itunes regularly.
(d) I've never had any problems with an iphone or with my data.
(e) I've restored from backup only three times, when I upgraded to the iphone 4, 4S, and 5.
I want to get this "Other" cleared up before I upgrade to the iphone 5S.
Thank you.

You can select to export a folder to save as a .mbox file. This file would need to be imported if you wanted to view the messages.
Select mailbox (folder)
Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Export Mailbox...
You might also want to check out the demo for EagleFiler by the author for SpamSieve. You could view and search the messages archived in EagleFiler.

Regarding Mail being slow....
Is it only Mail that is slow? How much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility to find available space.

How to I extract my music from an iPod and add it to the library if it's not linked to the original ID anymore?

I have an ipod previously linked someone else's account. We used to share the library and they used to update my iPod for me. Now I have my own ID and laptop with iTunes. How to I extract my music from the iPod and add it to the library ? At present, I cannot do it because I am not authorised on the account the music was orginally purchased on - but I have my iPod still.
Is there anyway for me to extract the music files from my iPod and download them into my new iTunes library and using my own Apple ID?
Help! I paid for most of this stuff but they left with their computer and now I can't even update my iPod!
Thanks

Unless you want to learn more than most of us want to know about being a good geek, you'll need a third-party software utility to do that. CopyTrans worked well for me when I moved songs from an old iPod to a new computer for a friend.
So 1.) set up your (PC?) computer with iTunes, 2.) get something like CopyTrans which imports the stuff from your iPod to iTunes on your computer, 3.) make sure all the files from your iPod got copied, and then 4.) set iTunes to be the Mother Ship, which will then write all your old and future stuff to your iPod.
Make sure you've 5.) tested a backup strategy for your iTunes library going forward, because Apple would prefer you'd buy everything again from them. iTunes no longer has a good, native backup utility.
