you can't recover iOS crypted backup password, for security purposes. your backup is useless. sorry.
if you still have your old iPhone, make a new back-up

Desperate - computer crashed - want to import music

Help, my computer crashed 1.5 yrs ago and got a new one. Lost itunes with the crash. I have not updated or downloaded any new music into my ipod since then. Is there a way to import my music from my ipod into itunes library again? I really don't want to have to download all my CDs again - it would take forever. Please help if you know anything definitive.

No problem. Look here: http://ipodtips-tricks.blogspot.com/2008/10/howto-transfer-music-from-ipodto-itu nes.html
My additional advice:
The music is in bulk in "ipod control" hidden folder. If you want to put the songs in order on your HDD, then go to iTunes-Edit-Preferences-Advanced-"Keep itunes media folder organized".
After that you'll have all your music on your hard drive sorted and ready to move wherever you want.
Another way - use third party software, that can copy any song from ipod and back. But those programs often fail, because iTunes changes faster.

Computer crashed, want to restore apps to itunes without losing data

My computer, which is a Dell Inspiron laptop running Vista, crashed and I had to replace the entire hard drive. I even had to reinstall Itunes. I have some of my music on my Ipod touch, some on the kid's ipod nano and some (mostly holiday music) not on either ipod. I have quite a lot of apps on my ipod touch, and I am unsure how I can get back to synchronizing again without losing my apps and especially without losing the data I have saved (on my ipod touch) for certain apps (grocery lists, etc.) Also, will I lose my calendar data and my contacts? Please please tell me it won't be so. I am not even sure what else I need to worry about losing. I've been going crazy with this whole hard drive thing this week. Thanks for any advice.

If you search this forum for "ipod to computer," you will find posts which may help. You may also find some assistance in the iPod manual -

Old Hard drive crashed, need to transfer music from iPod to new computer

Hello. My old hard drive crashed and I bought a new computer. Unfortunately I did not back up any files from my old computer and lost all files including iTunes music. All I have is the music from my iPod. I would like some help or if anyone knows anything about how to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer. I guess my new computer is not the original authentic one in the itunes system and will not let me exchange music from my iPod to new computer. I would appreciate help if anyone has ideas. Thank bunches.

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update 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. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD 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 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. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
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. 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.

As you may have already found out that while we can transfer music from iTunes to an iPod, we cannot transfer music from iPod to iTunes.
You need to move your music from your iPod to your new iTunes and one of the ways that you can do this is with the help of a third party software.
Please read [*_This Discussion Thread_*|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10570955#10570955] and pay particular attention to the post from Zevoneer. In his post all available software is listed which you can use to accomplish what you want. Most of the software is free. Good Luck.

Old computer crashed & have to put music from iPod to new computer.HELP?

Our old Desktop computer crashed, finaly have a new computer, but am unsure hoe to transfer all content (music, games, movies & photos) from iPod classic to new computer.
Our last computer run on Windows XP & the new one is Vista, have already down loaded new version of iTunes to new computer, but don't want to plug in iPod, just yet. Don't want to loose all our music (over 2000 songs ) Some are from the iTunes store & some are from our CD colletion, which took ages to put on computer. I also have over 200 photos that were on old computer & is on iPod that I would like to transfer to new computer. Have also purchased movies from iPod Lounge (not iTunes) & am hoping that I will be able to transfer these as well. I have searched & have found several different ways you can do this, but am still unsure of the whole process. If anyone out there has had this issue,a bit of guidence would be appreciated. Thanks

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
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 and iPodRobot.
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.

IMac Hard Drive Crashed - Need to get music from iPod to new hard drive

The 250GB hard drive on my iMac crashed - totally fried. It's been replaced and the operating system and software reinstalled. The problem - I have 22GB of music on my iPod (5G, 60GB) that I'd like to get back onto the computer. All music is legal - ripped from my library of 500+ CD's. The iPod is already set to manual updates and for use as a disc drive.
Someone please tell me there's a way to do this without having to rip all 500 CD's again...

Check this link for lots of solutions for that:

If they are songs you purchased plug your iPod in and in iTunes select "File > Transfer Purchased Music From iPod".

Harddrive on old laptop crashed can i transfer music on iPod to new hard

So unluckily my hard drive on my old lap top crashed and I wasn't able to back up any of my music before it crashed. Is there any way to use my iPod that has all my music to transfer it onto my new laptop??
I'm using Windows Vista and I have the latest updates for iTunes and my iPod classic.

I have exactly the same problem! The data was on an external hard drive, which seems to have lost nearly all of it while backing up the laptop's hard drive. I really don't want to have to input 560 CDs again one by one.

Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities

HT201269 I have lost my iphone and had it blocked but want to restore the data onto a new device when I get one is this possible ?

My phone was stolen but I am pretty sure it was recently 'backed up' to the cloud when I updated the software how can I find out ?

I got no idea how you can lose iTunes account. Your purchases will be there as long as it's still available.
There is no transfer purchases option in iPad. You can transfer purchases when you connect to computer iTunes where you usually sync.

Automatic stop play(music) on itouch or newer ipod?

Hello,
I have used ipod on gigs for backing tracks from my seqeunces,etc...
I was wondering if the itouch will allow you to set the song list(s) up to
play one song at a time? Similar to the playlists in itunes?
I've been using an older ibook lately and it would be nice to have something more portable.
I sometimes forget to pause a song at the end and it moves to the next.
Thanks for any insight.

Been awhile since you posted this, so maybe you figured it out. The problem sounds like your songs were (accidentally) tagged as "Skip When Shuffling", and if your iPod is in shuffle mode it will only play one song. To fix this, go into iTunes, select all songs in your library, select "Get Info" and then select the Options tab, then un-check the "Skip When Shuffling" option. You'll have to re-sync your iPod to update its contents (or if you manually manage, you can do this directly on the iPod contents in addition to your library).

My computer crashed and once restored I could only sync purchased content. I dont want to lose my non-ITunes puchased content. What can I do?

My computer crashed and once restored I could only sync "purchased content". I dont want to lose over 500 songs. My ITunes file now only contained the "purchased content" items. My Ipod Touch still contains all the original music. HELP!! How can I download music from my IPod Touch and somehow get it into my computer (ITunes Lirbary)...... Can I down load my content to a computer that does not have ITunes installed?

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to copy content (including non-iTunes purchased content) from your iPod back to your PC.
