Computer crashed had to reinstall windows how do i get my music off iphone back on to itunes

after reinstalling windows obviously itunes is empty and my songs are on iphone. any surgestions?

The 5 authorized COMPUTERS has NOTHING to do with ipods.
Itunes will allow up to 5 computers to be authorized to play pre-itunes+ music. When you reach the limit of 5 COMPUTERS, then you can de-authorize them all, then authorize the active ones again.
You can sync as many ipods as you like to a computer.
In the future, it is a good idea to de-authorize before re-installing your os or getting rid of a computer.

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

  • I have changed computers and my Ipod wants to esase contend and sinc.  I don't have the music on the new computer thats on the ipod. How do i get the music off the ipod onto the computer. Tried a few things no joy. Help

    I have changed computer and my ipos wants to erase and sync to an empty list on the new computer.  i don't have the music thats currently on the ipod on the computer.  How do I get it across?  Tried through drive directory but it does not recognise all the music. My old lap top is dead, cant even boot it up.  Itunes was one of the things I didnt rescue..  Any suggestions?

    You'll need the help of some sort of third party software such as CopyTrans or Phone to PC.
    Google for other possibilities.

  • How to I get my apps off iphone/ipad and into itunes without syncing?

    I had my computer crash and recently restored it. I transferred my music back in via a hard drive and now that I am about to resync my phone, I either have to erase the phone with what is in iTunes, or erase what is in itunes with the phone. I have different info in both, so can I pull my contact info and apps off the phone into itunes so when itunes erases the phone, everything is back on?
    Or, do I have to erase itunes with phone info and then just reload music from hard drive?
    During the crash, I bought an ipad and synced it to a different computer so will need to sync it to this one instead and I have a few apps/podcasts/movies on it as well so don’t want to erase them and may have to do the same thing.
    Thanks!

    All apps on your iPhone and iPad should be in your iTunes library on your computer, which should be included with your computer's backup per the instructions included with this link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    With Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for each device's sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app with either device, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync the device with iTunes after doing so.
    If the apps on each device are different, with your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Repeat this for your iPad - Transfer Purchaes From - the name of your iPad.
    Then you will need to select Sync Apps under the Apps tab making sure all apps on the connected device are selected below. This will not prevent the device from being erased of all iTunes content with the first sync.
    If all apps on either device were in your iTunes library and your iTunes library was backed up per the instructions included with the link provided and restored from said backup, no iTunes content on either device would be erased with the first sync with iTunes.

  • I have a new laptop. How do I get my music off my ipod touch into itunes? It wants to sync and destroy months of work. Thanks

    I have a new laptop. My iPod touch was synced to itunes on my old laptop. Now that I have my new laptop I can't get the music from my Ipod into the new itunes. So, when it wants to sync it wants to delete all of my songs and replace them with what is in itunes now. How do I get my months of work collating music onto my new laptop so I can add more?

  • Ibook crashed, bought new Dell PC, how can I get my music off my ipod?

    My ibook recently crashed and I bought a new Dell PC with Windows Vista installed. When I plug my ipod in, a message comes up saying that I need to reformat my ipod for Windows but by doing this, all of my songs and videos will be deleted.
    Any suggestions? Ideally, I want to reformat my ipod for Windows without losing any songs or videos.
    Dell E520    

    Unfortunately your new Windows PC cannot natively read the contents of your Mac formatted iPod.
    This is because Windows cannot read the HFS+ file system that a Mac uses.
    If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.
    XPlay2 will also allow the transfer of music from iPod to computer.
    Once you've done that, you can reformat the iPod by restoring it on your PC.

  • My old computer crashed, my new one won't let me get my music off my iphone or put new music on it.

    So i had my iphone connected to my old computer.  It crashed.  However i had my work computer that i was going to use.  My work computer is connected to my ipad.  I can plug my iphone into my work computer and see everyting on it but i can't copy all my music onto my work computer or put new music from my workcomputer onto my iphone.  My Itunes on my work computer is authorized as well.  HELP pleae! Thanks!

    If you bought your music from iTunes, right click on your iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases".
    For all music you did not buy via the iTunes store, you'll have to use 3rd party software like Touchcopy for example.

    You should have a backup but if not you will need to transfer the contents before you sync or it will be erased.
    Transfer music purchased from iTunes

    For other music you will require a 3rd party program

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

    First try this:
    - Go on iTunes computer
    - plug in the iPod
    - authorize your device from store/authorize
    - iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
    This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud.
