Aging music fan wiped IPOD  when installing itunes onto new laptop on xp

I have just bought a high end sony vio with duo intel running windows xp. I installed itunes and when I synched the ipod I wiped all my tunes.
BUT my ipod still shows about 20% space on memory used so I am pretty sure the songs are still there
Does anyone know how to recover the songs and provide a simple step by step guide on how to do it?
Your help much appreciated
sony viao   Windows XP   intel duo t2400

Since you have a new computer with (presumably) no songs on it, it was doing exactly what you told it to do. You probably clicked Yes at the box below.
You can try www.yamipod.com and see if it can get the songs off your iPod. Not sure if it will work though.

  • Cannot install itunes on new laptop

    Cannot install itunes on new laptop, even when security software is disabled.  Downloads fine, goes through install and then says it can't install on my system.  I have admin priviledges and already have Quicktime running.  Help!  I have itunes already running beautifully on 3 other computers and an ipod touch with home sharing - but my new laptop just won't intall itunes.  Can anyone help?

    Many thanks. Quite often with the 0x800736B3 on the iTunes install, there seems to be an 0x8007000b in play for Windows Update.
    Let's try the following document first:
    [Windows Update error 8007000b|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-error- 8007000b]
    Next head to Windows Update and try stocking back on Windows Updates again. If you're a long way behind (sometimes this has been going on for months for people), you may need to do it in several batches. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
    After you're stocked back up on Windows Updates, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
    (If you can't get Windows Updates to install, post back to let us know the error codes you've been getting on the most recent attempts at updates. Sometimes things are in such a snarl that we have to try a few different measures with them.)

  • Missing all audiobooks when installing itunes on new computer

    My old laptop broke and I installed iTunes onto my new laptop but none of my audiobooks are there. My music, tv shows, etc. are all there...but no audiobooks.

    Restore them from a backup, or put the old computer's internal drive in an enclosure and copy them off, or click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for a free redownload of them.

  • Install itunes on new laptop w/o losing old songs- cant backup songs tho!

    Please can anyone help?! I have to figure this out by tomorrow!! :o
    Cliffsnotes: _Want itunes on new laptop. Dont want to lose songs on ipod. Can't backup songs because itunes is gone from old computer. Halp plz?_
    Details: I have an ipod touch. I think my dad accidentally deleted some of the software that is required to run itunes so now it won't open, or recognize the ipod when its connected to the computer. When I click on the itunes icon (which is still on my desktop) to try to open it, I get an error message that reads:
    "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install itunes again."
    I would do this however I just got a new laptop and want to move all my programs including itunes onto it instead. If I try to just connect the ipod to the new laptop and download the newest version of itunes, I'm afraid it will delete my old songs already on the ipod. I know people have had this concern before but the answer is always to back up your songs first. How am I supposed to do this if the itunes is deleted/won't open on my old computer?
    *Your help is so so appreciated*!!!

    What you really want is the files, not the music really, just the system files so that when you reinstall iTunes you can replace the system files with the ones you backed up, thus saving your settings from your previous installation. As for the music, after you reinstall, you can backup your music from your iPod before you sync it to the new iTunes installation, that way it insures you not to lose all your music. I deleted half my music by accident from in my iTunes Music hard drive that I have separately so as to be able to keep all my music in case of a computer crash, which we both know is a drawback of having a Windows-based PC. Where you want to go is first go to Edit then Preferences then Devices and make sure you have Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically checked, then you can rest assured that you won't lose the music already on the iPod. Then you go to File then Library then Back Up To Disc. This is of course after you have iTunes reinstalled. Just save the system folders with all the system settings from your documents/music/iTunes section. Then uninstall and reinstall. Then transfer the backed up system files back to that folder and overwrite the new files that were created.

  • Can't download iTunes onto new laptop

    I have just bought a new laptop & have been trying to install iTunes without any success. Every time I try, the install process gets as far as 21% or 15MB and stops. It just doesn't go any further. I have iTunes on my desktop & have never had any problems, although, saying that, my desktop runs on XP - my laptop is Vista. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I NEED to have it on both!!! BTW, I have tried disabling my firewall, just while it installs, but this doesn't help.

    To save messing around, how about downloading the latest iTunes on your desktop, then copying it across to you laptop via a memory stick or network connection?

    Make sure you select save when downloading.

    If the content in your iTunes library was all purchased or downloaded from iTunes, you can download those items again for free as long as they are still available in the iTunes Store. Please use the attached article as a guide for downloading your past purchases.

  • Trouble downloading itunes onto new laptop

    Hi guys, I've been trying to download iTunes onto a new HP Pavillion g6 notebook with Windows 7 Home premium.
    It never seems to work and the main dialog box I get says
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    Also another dialog box says
    Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2 (Windows error 2)
    I'm wondering what I need to do now?
    Thank you for any help

    Where do you typically find the library.xml file? I cannot seem to find it on my old hard drive. I have looked under iTunes. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

  • How do i transfer all my music from my ipod to 4gen to my new laptop so i can put it on my new ipod 5th gen

    Having trouble trying to get all my music transferd from my ipod to my laptop to put it on my new ipod 5gen that i just bought... Tried syncing it to itunes and it didnot work... Can anyone help?? Email me at [email protected] please....

    The way I had to transfer my music from my 4th Gen. to 5th Gen. ipod touch was and still is iCloud. Look up iCloud and how you use it. You'll need to Download iCloud onto your Labtop(Log in, follow the steps ect.). Make Sure To Activate iCloud on you're 4th and 5th Gen. In both Ipod settings.(Just a note this was my personal way of doing this. There is other ways im sure, just sharing my way hope it works.

  • Installing iTunes to new laptop

    My iPod touch wants me to connect to iTunes before I can access anything on it, but iTunes wants me to plug in my passcode on my iPod. I can't do that, however, because my iPod is not allowing me to do anything until I connect to iTunes, which I can't do because I can't log in to iTunes until my passcode is entered in my iPod.It is a continuous cycle of non-access.

    Place the iPOd in recovery mode and then retore via iTunes. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
