If the photos were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView

Computer crashed. sync ipod to new itunes but threatens to erase! pls reply

Hi,
my computer crashed and everything has been wiped.
So i download new itunes, and sync my ipod but threatens to erase all my files.
This computer runs on Windows XP and my ipod is an ipod touch.
Is there any way to get all my music & videos onto my computer or straight onto itunes?
There's just alot of music and videos that i can't just download them all again!

Welcome to AD!
My advice is to use a 3rd-party ipod manager program to get everything off the ipod.

My daughters computer crashed, got new one. Trying to transfer ipod to new computer only does some of content tells me I need to aurtherize computer my wife shared itunes with daughter that ipod is gone now and dont have password.

Trying to transfer ipod to new computer. It is telling me to autharize computer. Had another ipod on same account, it gone now. Don't have password or any info about it. What do I do?

The password is for your iTunes account. Not for your old iPod. Enter your Email and password will give you access to all the music you bought from iTunes. If you forget it then I dont know how to help you there guess your SOL.

Computer crash - transfer music from iPod to new computer?

My computer crashed and now my music is only on my iPod. How can I transfer it back into iTunes?
iPod Shuffle

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the 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. When your iPod appears in iTunes enable it for disk use, this is required for most if not all the utilities listed below so they can access the files: Using your iPod as a storage drive
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is also manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Windows Vista so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location mention for instance but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward but check for ones that work are advertised to work specifically with the shuffle. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
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 in case you have problems again. 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.

My old computer crashed, i have a new computer, is there anyway to transfer the itunes library from my iphone to my new computer?

Help! My old computer crashed, and I have a bunch of music that I don't have on cd any longer, is there anyway to move the library I have on my iPhone now to my new computer I just bought?

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.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
As for you own music and contents, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Computer crashed, we got a new computer but our ipod touchs are synced with the old one how do i get our stuff on to the new computer without losing it on our ipods

Our computer crashed last week. We just bought a new one last night and installed a iTunes on to the computer. How do we transfer what we have on our iPods on to the new computer without losing anything

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

Old computer crashed; loaded iTunes to new computer, won't sync my iPod

The computer I initially set up my 60g iPod video crashed (windows based). I loaded iTunes on my new computer (also windows based) and even entered my iPod serial number. When I plug it into the USB port, iTunes recognizes the iPod (with my name) and even shows all the songs and videos on the screen, but they are in faded gray and I can't highlight them or upload them into iTunes. When the iPod is first plugged in, I get the message about the iPod being authorized on another computer and can set it up on the new one, but then it would remove the entire contents and update with the new library which has nothing in it.
Is there any way to upload my iPod contents into the newly loaded iTunes on my new computer? I got an iTouch for X-Mas and I am hoping that when I load that software, it will recognize my older iPod's music library and upload it. Of course, this won't matter if I can't get my old stuff into me new iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated.

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

My computer died suddenly. Can I transfer Ipod to New Comput

Hi!
My computer died all of a sudden and all my music (files, programs etc.) are gone. Gone. Gone. No backups for music. I bought a new Toshiba laptop and just downloaded iTunes. But now what am I supposed to do? My iPod mini has about 400 songs in it. If I connect my iPod mini to my new computer/iTunes, what would happen? Would my iPod mini and new iTunes (zero songs) try to synchronize? Would I lose all my music in my iPod? Is there any way to transfer music from my iPod mini to my new iTune library? B/c my computer died all of a sudden, I just didn't have time to transfer music files to iPod mini hard drive(? or whatever it is that we need to do when we want to transfer music to a new computer.) Please help me!

My computer crashed and got a new hard drive. I synced my Ipod to the new computer and i lost all my photos. Is there a way i can get them back. I do not know if my cloud worked.??

My computer crash and i got a new Hard Drive. I synced my Ipod to my Itunes and then lost all my photos that were on my ipod. I do not know if my cloud backed it up. Is there any way i can get my pictures back??????

- If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
- If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
- If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream. You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

Computer crash -- Moving iPod music to new computer

My old computer crashed and I had to reformat the harddrive. How do I move the 3200 songs back from my iPod to iTunes?
Thanks

If you are using 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.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), 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 can be messy.
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.
Another free program is Pod Player.

Cannot transfer ipod to new computer

I have a new computer trying to import my ipod playlist to it. It keeps coming up saying that some music cannot be transferred. Also, on the left side of itunes, "devices" is not coming up so I don't know if it is actually reconizing my ipod shuffle. Please help. I have tried to hook it up to different USB ports and turning my shuffle on and off.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
iTunes will not let you copy songs from the iPod to computer for copyright reasons (to prevent music theft)
Here are some other options...

Moving music from pc (crashed) based ipod to new imac

I haven't found this exact situation on the forums, so I hope someone can help.
I have a windows-based ipod mini. My windows machine crashed and the only place I have all of my music is on my ipod.
I am ordering a new imac next week and can't wait to move over! Now, how do I get my music from my pc based ipod onto my new imac. From what I've read, the first thing I will have to do is reformat my ipod to the mac which will erase all of my music.
Is there a way to authorize my new machine, connect my windows-based ipod, transfer music over, and then reformat it to a mac ipod?
If not, is there another way? Perhaps hook my ipod to my husbands Dell laptop. Back all my music up to Cd's and then hook up to new mac and let it reformat (erase) my music off my ipod. Then reload music via the backup cd's? Would this work? Thanks for any help. I do not want to mess this up as I have a pretty big library on my ipod.

please understand that Mac computer can read iPod formatted on a PC i.e. FAT32 but not the other way round, for how to do the transfer from iPod to Mac, please read the following

Computer crashed no ipod backup of purchased items. How to get them back?

My old computer crashed. Before I did I copied my iTunes folder onto my portable hard drive, but I did not make a backup through iTunes, just by copying and pasting using Windows. My ipod is only an 8GB and is not large enough to hold all of the items in my purchased folder. So I can't back up and transfer using my iPod. The only way to access my old hard drive is to use this thing that lets me view it as an external on my new computer. So going back and forth with a little bit of files is not a possibility.
I want to everything to my new computer, but I only have the backup on my hard drive, iTunes seems like the only way to import my music is to go folder by folder, but the items in the purchased folder are all hidden.
Did I completely lose everything I downloaded, or is there a way to get it back? I copied my old itunes folder onto my new computer, but it won't even let my try to use my old libraries that were actually backed up using iTunes. It's going to take forever to go folder by folder to put my music back onto my iTunes, and if all the purchased files are hidden then how could I possibly get them off of my external?

Ok. I sort of figured it out. iTunes had my up-to-date itunes folder hidden under a bunch of other folders, and with all of my purchased files only in this one place. Once I found the file that had all of the information it was fine, I was able to copy everything into itunes on my new computer. It just took forever to find because itunes thought it was being tricky by putting the folders in a weird spot.
There was no purchased folder though, so all of my purchased files are no longer under that part of itunes, which is frustrating.
