Hello la chefesse,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

    If you've updated your iTunes to 10.3 you should be able to use the new iCloud feature to download them again

  • Can I retrieve deleted contacts from Address book

    Can I retrieve deleted contacts from address book on my mac or contact list on my iphone?

    Yes if you have been backing up using Time Machine it should be pretty simple. If you haven't been backing up then they're gone.

  • I can't retrieve my photos from an ipod back up on to my new ipod

    i can't retrieve my photos from an ipod back up on to my new ipod

    Have the photos been taken with the iPad or have the photos been synced to the iPad Air? Photos synced with iTunes to iOS devices cannot be synced back. See this link:  iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
    If the photos have been synced to the iPad Air, you need an external app as JimHDK recommended. Or mail the photos, which will be tedious. To delete them from the iPad after transferring them, sync again with iTunes, but select no folders to sync.
    If the photos have been taken with the iPad Camera, you can connect the iPad Air to your Mac using a USB cable and then to launch Image Capture or iPhoto to transfer the photos. But that will not transfer synced photos.

  • I can't retrieve my contacts from the cloud.  I don't have options listed on the instructions to "download"

    My phone died and I am trying to retrieve my contacts from the cloud. I can see them in my Cloud app on my new phone, but I don't have the option to download or "start" as the instructions indicate.  I don't have a phone to transfer to, so somehow need to retrieve them.

       Your post is kind of confusing. You have a new phone and don't have a phone to transfer to?? With the phone that died. If that phone was using Verizon Cloud to back up. Then when you activating Verizon Cloud on the new phone, one of the steps would ask, do you want to transfer from old phone to new phone?
    If you had nothing backed up with Verizon Cloud on the old phone there would be nothing to restore to the new phone.
    When activating Verizon Cloud on the new phone, only what is currently showing on the new phone will be able to be backed up, along with what is added in the future.

  • Computer crashed - can I retrieve past purchases?

    My computer crashed. Is there a way to retrieve my already purchased downloads?
    Thanks Cathy

    Hi, Cathy.
    If the purchases are on your iPod, you can make use of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
    Other than that your options are limited.
    Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
    That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
    Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!
    P.S.
    If you want to get a bit of a "bigger picture" on back-ups, you might want to make yourself a cup of tea and have a look at this article on the PC World web site and this Microsoft support page .

  • HT1335 my hard drive crashed can i get the music from my ipod (windows)

    does anyone know how to get the music off my old ipod to my new computer?

    Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized and duplicated by turingtest2 in the document: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
