See this -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then you should backup (at least monthly) your computer.

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
Pasted from another thread
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
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.

I had to have the hard drive replaced on my computer and i lost all my iTunes data and I hadn't backed up my music. can I still transfer music from my iPod to a new iTunes?
Music Rescue also works as far as restoring your playlists etc. I've used it twice, you can use the Quick Recover mode, but have to click continue trial (something like that) allot, cp. to purchase option. Otherwise diesel is right as far as restoring via your purchase history.

If I installed Itunes and music on a PC that died --- can I download/import the music on my IPOD to a new ITunes account?
Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

I got a new itunes account on my new computer. My ipod has all the music from my previous account. I would like to transfer the music from my ipod to my new account. Is this possible?
Hello hevcheer,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

Purchases cannot be transferred from account to account.
Best of luck,

How can I get my music from my ipod to my new mac book air??
I bought a new macbook and can not figure out how to move my music from my ipod to the new computer?
Hi.
You will need some sort of third-party software to 'drag' your music out of your iPod.
In order to make sure people don't use their iPods as giant portable disks to share 1000's of songs, they haven't made a function to extract your music from the device.
As said, you'll need some sort of software to do so.
I hope this was helpful. -

Message was edited by: christophorus2890Hi There
You can only transfer purchased music from your iPod to iTunes using iTunes. However there are third party utilities that you can use to retrieve your music, just do a google search or have a look on http://www.versiontracker.com
Hope this helps

Can I bring the music from my ipod to my new computer?
My old computer crashed and I lost everything. When I plug my ipod in to my new computer it ask if I want to replace the music on my ipod with the music on my new computer (right now there is no music on here). Is there a way I can bring my music from my ipod to my new computer? 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.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
PodPlus Windows Only
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive on Windows and retrieving your songs 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. -
I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync. How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer. The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.
One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. -
How can i sync my music from my iPod into a new computer because my old one is dead
I bought the macbook air and want to sync my music from my ipod into itunes. Of course its not letting me because it says if I want to sync it will erase everything. Is there anything I can do so I could keep all my music and still sync? I no longer have access to my old computer because it completely died on me.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases -
i had my ipod synced to one computer. Then that computer died. i want to add more music from another computer, but i dont want to lose my music now. how can i do this?
No. Music only syncs one way - computer to iPod. You would need to use a third-party utility to transfer music from the iPod to the iTunes Library such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac

My old computer crashed with my entire iTunes library. It was not backed up and now my only music library is on an older iPod Nano. Is there a way of getting my music from my iPod to my computer so that I can then get my music onto my iPhone 4S?
Thank you,You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to your iTunes library. Then, you can sync the iPod and iPhone to that iTunes library.
NOTE: For any previous song purchases from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. You need to be signed in using the same Apple ID used for purchasing. -
How can I transfer my music from an Ipod to my new MAC? My old computer broke.
My old computer broke. I got a new MAC Book PRO. I have all may music in an Ipod classic. Can I recover my music to my new MAc?
Does the old hard drive still work? You can buy an external hard drive case and transfer data to your new Macbook Pro and recover your itunes libary. As far as i'm aware, Apple have not created software or allow you to move music from ipod to Mac.
