New hard drive: iPod touch contacts to Outlook?

We use Windows Vista; my wife's iPod Touch was syncing just fine with Outlook (for Calendar and Contacts). Our hard drive died, so got a new one. I thought I had been regularly backing up the Outlook .pst files, but the ones that I found on my external backup drive were older than I thought they should have been.
Thus: is there a way to "transfer" the contacts (and calendar, if possible) entries from the iPod Touch to a newly installed Outlook (remember that our hard drive died)? I would think there would be, as when you enter Contacts directly into the iPod Touch and sync, I think those sync "back" to Outlook (i.e. it's a 2-way street for Calendar and Contacts).
Thanks (hope the ? makes sense)

you might find pointers in this post by Zevoneer.
good luck !

Moved library to new hard drive, iPod no longer communicates

Ok, I am computer savy but know next to nothing about iTunes as I don't use it, but my wife does use it. However, my wife is not computer savy.
My wife's old hard drive started dying (on a Dell laptop), so we bought a new one and moved all her files over. However, she now has 2 problems:
(1) She cannot use any of the old music files. I read around online, and I have discovered that we need to consolidate the old files from the old HD into a flash drive using the iTunes consolidate library function. Then they can be imported to the new library on the new computer. This is doable as the old drive is not yet completely dead.
(2) However, she has since purchased/downloaded new songs out of the iTunes store onto the new HD, and thus I need to keep the new HD's library intact or we'll lose the files. *Now the big problem: her iPod will not connect to the new iTunes library.* I assume this is because iPods sync with a particular library, not a particular computer, and the library of the old computer was not properly transferred. Thus there is a new library, that contains songs we don't want to lose, but we can't connect the iPod.
Please help! How do we transfer the old "library" settings that allow the iPod to be synced without completely deleting the existing library on the new hard drive?
Thanks.
OS is Windows 7 and new HD's iTunes version is 10.0.0.68.

How did you go about this move?
The correct way to do it is
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you still have the original library it might be worth trying again.

New Hard Drive- Ipod not recognized anymore

I just have a quick question about my new nano so if anyone has any idea then that would be a big help.
My MacBook was having problems last week and I had to have a new Hard Drive installed in it. Now none of my programs are set up anymore and nothing is installed. My ipod doesn't have an installation disk with it and the first time I plugged it into my computer I registered it, named it and put songs on it. Now when I plug it into my computer with the new hard drive it says that i cannot move or copy songs onto it because I am not authorized on this computer. Anyone have idea idea what I could do? I have the case with the serial number still if that will do anything but I've been having a lot of problems this week because nothing is installed anymore on my computer. Thanks!

*My ipod doesn't have an installation disk with it and the first time I plugged it into my computer I registered it, named it and put songs on it.*
You don't need a disc you just need to download and install the latest iTunes: Get the latest iPod software updates.
*Now when I plug it into my computer with the new hard drive it says that i cannot move or copy songs onto it because I am not authorized on this computer.*
Have you reauthorised your computer since you installed the new hard drive? If your system crashes or you reinstall your operating system without deauthorising iTunes first, you lock out one of your 5 authorisations. If you haven't already done so, you need to authorise you computer again to play your purchases: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

How can I transfer outlook data from Ipod to new hard drive?

My hard drive had to be replaced last week. Although my music was backed up by Norton 360, my Outlook contacts and calendar were not backed up. How can I transfer my data from my Ipod to my new hard drive? I am running Windowa XP, if that matters. Will a sync to Itunes destroy all my data on my Ipod?

You would need to enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

How can I restore my iPod touch data to a new hard drive when the old one crashed

My computer crashed and I want to put the contents of my iPod Touch back on the new hard drive. How do I do this without accidentally Syncing and copying over my data? The vast majorioty of the music on my iPod is my own from DCs I own.

You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync. To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

thank you for the tip.
Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
Thanks again for the help.

New Hard Drive -- Now I can't work on iPod Touch

Recently my Windows computer crashed and burned, and I had to install a new hard drive and reinstall the operating system. Now when I plug in my 1st generation iPod Touch and go to the Apps tab, it shows my four screens with apps, but they are faint and I can't click on them to move them around or anything.
I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and synched my Touch, and all seemed to go well.
How do I rectify this? Thanks!

This completely *****. iTunes lists none of my music, although the music is on my iPod. When I click on the sync button, it starts to sync -- for about 5 seconds -- and does nothing. So I had to manually import all of my music from my hard drive into iTunes, but it still won't sync. Same thing with videos and photos.

New hard drive and old ipod touch...I want my music back :{

Also I am not the brightest with computer so please dumb it down for me...lol!!!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just this reason.
Use your backup copy to put evefrything back on your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy , not ggod, then you can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases.
In some countries you can redownload some purchases:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Old ipod Touch, new hard drive on old computer

My laptop recently crashed and I was unable to get a backup of my music.
It was taken away and a new hard drive was put in, now it's fine.
Here's the problem. My music's still on my ipod, is there any way to get it back on my computer through the ipod?
If not is there at least a way I can put new music on the ipod without deleting the music I had on it before?

Hi,
There are lots of applications for this task available, just Google.
This question has been answered many times on this forum e.g see this post from [Zevoneer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8618988&#8618988]

New Computer, old iPod Touch; will contacts, calendars, and bookmarks sync?

I just got a new hard drive for my MacBook and reinstalled all the applications and things, so I lost my Address Book contacts and my iCal calendars, but I have them all stored on my iPod touch. If i sync my iPod with my computer, will I lose these things, or will they sync over to the computer?
Also, will the bookmarks I have on my iPod sync?

There's an option under "Info" in the iPod's syncing information where you can replace everything on the iPod with what's on the computer. Don't click that, and you should be fine.

HT1329 Hi All - My hard drive failed and I am trying to move all my music from my ipod to the new hard drive. I am operating on Win 7 64 bit. Can anyone help please?

Hi All,
My hard drive crashed and is no longer usable. I just installed a new drive however, I am not finding any way to export my recorded CD's from the Ipod touch to the new hard drive. Can anyone help please? I thought by enabling syc with Ipod woudl do it but to no avail.
Thanks

I used a 3rd party program called copytrans http://www.copytrans.net/ that is not free to move my library from my ipod to my itunes library when I had to start from scratch. After that happened I started backing up my music that purchased from the itunes store to a dvd so I would always have it if things went south. Now I always backup my purchased digital music to an optical disc just in case plus everythng else I have is on retail cd's so I can just rebuild my library from scratch again if I have to. You should also regularly back up your itunes media folder to another disc so your entire library will be backed up just in case you should lose your program drive.
