Computer back up failed... how do I get my tunes from iPod to computer?

STUPID BEST BUY.... what a TERRIBLE place.
Long story short, my computer died thanks to these idiots and they replaced the motherboard. After ASSURING me they would NOT re-format the hard drive, they did anyway. I did do a back up before sending the computer in, but now I can't get my iTunes from my iPod back onto the computer. iTunes won't (or can't) see the songs in my backup, and it won't let me restore the backup off my external hard drive back into iTunes. (I had to re-download iTunes once I got my computer back.)
So my question is, is there anyway to load the songs off my iPod back into iTunes? I REALLY don't want to go back through 300 cd's and re-rip the songs... and most of the cd's I got rid of anyway!

How do i get my music from ipod onto new computer when old computer died

my old computer died unexpectedly and now i have a new one ...how do i get my music from ipod to itunes...i don't want to lose it since i have already paid for it...

1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). 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.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Copy the songs to a computer that is running iTunes, add those new tracks to the current library, and then synch those tracts to the iPod.

What are the models of each computer? Open System Preferences in the Utilities folder. Report what you see displayed as the Model Identifier for each computer you have. Or, if you know what Firewire ports look like just check the ports for each computer. They would also be shown it the user manuals for each computer.

How do i get my itunes from my old computer to my new computer so that I can sync my iphone

1. I had my iphone 4 synced with my old computer.
     I have a new computer and want my iphone to sync with this computer.
     I am not interested in any music syncing
     I do not want to overwrite anything on my iphone
     I want the information eg apps that appear when I sync on my old computer to work exactly the same on the new computer.
     I do not want a new library.
2. I have tried to backup my phone on my old computer and i receive the message."iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Bronwyn's iphone" because the backup could not be saved on the computer."
     To try to resolve this I have removed most photos, I am unable to remove one
               I have transferred all audio recordings
               I have over 200gb of space on the computer.
3. At one time I received the following messge The information on the iPhone 'Bronwyn's iPhone is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
Merge info - merges the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account.
"Replace Info" replaced theinformation on this iPhone with the information from this user account.
     Then the clickable choices .
This box has not reappeared.
3. I am absolutely fed up trying to find a solution.
This should not be this difficult.
I welcome any and all help
but I do ask please provide simply easy to follow steps.
May thanks
Bronwyn

You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
