Computer hard drive messed up plz HELP!!!

the hard drive on my computer messed up somehow and had to get it replaced, now EVERYTHING from itunes is gone but i still have it on my ipod is there anything i can do to get it back onto my computer???
  Windows XP  

Haha I wish I could remember! I'm looking for it right now...
EDIT: It's a checkbox option when you're looking at your iPod summary in iTunes... the very first one. There's no way to check it if your iPod isn't plugged in....
I would say this:
close itunes and plug in your iPod and un whatever program you were told to use to transfer music back onto your PC. If iTunes opens and begins to update your iPod, I'm sorry, but really, it's the same as not trying.
Good luck.

    Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

    Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
    Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

    If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
    This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

    Hi Perilman,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that all of your iTunes media is on an external hard drive and you would like to move that media onto your new Windows computer hard drive. The following article has step by step instructions for this specifically. Part 5 in the External drive section is probably what is going to be most relevant to you.

  • How can I save photos that I have modified in Photoshop Elements to my computer hard drive?

    How can I save photos that I have modified in Photoshop Elements to my computer hard drive folders?

    When finished editing click File->Save/Save As and you can either overwrite the original file or rename it and save as new file keeping original intact.
    You can find more info on saving and various settings here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f89cffc612e28adab65-7 fda.html#WS287f927bd30d4b1f89cffc612e28adab65-7fd7

  • My computer hard-drive died and I lost the programs I purchased and installed via download.

    My computer hard-drive died and I lost the programs I purchased and installed via download.. Can I somehow re-download what I have already paid for? I am an unemployed student and can in no way afford to buy these programs for A THIRD TIME.
    I absolutely, positively NEED the Adobe Creative Suite in order to do my homework (I'm a web and graphic design student). I can not be without these programs!

    Yes, there are downloads available.  You should check you Adobe account online as there might be links provided there.  Your serial numbers will be needed for activation, and they might also be found there.
    Since you did not identify a particular version here are general links to all available...
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.  Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

    Since you lost the installation(s) without deactivating them first you probably should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations so that you have the two available to you in case you want to have a backup installation on another machine.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

    Hey,
    I am sorry but Acrobat 7 is not at all compatible with Windows 8. For this, you will need to upgrade your Adobe Acrobat version.

  • I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location.  Select the location of your on external hard drive. 

  • I have a macbook pro and time capsule.  Computer hard drive is full and I would like to expand wirelessly.

    I have read many forums that note an external hard drive can be connected to a time capsule, but it sound like that is just a way to expand the time capsule and not the computer hard drive.  The reason I would prefer a wireless option is to keep the laptop portable around the house (we have apple t.v. and home theater system that syncs wirelessly to itunes).  Wireless would allow use of any device even with the hard drive not being hard connected to the laptop.  Are there any options out there or am I just misunderstanding what happens when connecting a hard drive to the time capsule.
    I am not concerned about speed, but would hope any solution would still allow back up to the time capsule.
    Thanks!!

    You cannot expand the computer's hard drive by connecting an external drive to a Time Capsule. All that does is provide separate external storage. It will not expand the size of your computer's drive. To do that you have to buy a larger hard drive for the computer. Or you can buy an external drive then copy files you don't need to the external drive and erase them on your internal drive.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB

    How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB? I am slightly learning disabled and have been unable to figure out how to add and or update. Thnaks

    If the songs are in iTunes and the iPod is set to sync automatically, the songs should already be on the iPod; if they aren't, follow the instructions in this article and post back with any error messages.
    If the iPod is set to sync manually, drag the songs onto the iPod in the iTunes source list.

  • How to copy catalog from external hard drive to computer hard drive to use smart previews when not connected to external hard drive?

    I am very new to LR5. I have LR5 set up so that my catalog and photos are on an external hard drive. I found out that when not connected to the hard drive, LR5 cannot find my catalog, therefore, I cannot do any editing in smart previews unless connected to the external hard drive. How can I fix this issue so that I can edit photos without being connected to the external hard drive. Is there a way of copying the catalog off the hard drive on the computer hard drive or do I need to reestablish a new catalog using LR5? Does the catalog always need to be loaded on the hard drive? Thank you in advance.

    Yes that is correct. The LR catalog must be on the computers internal drive. Then when you have Smart Previews enabled you can edit image without having the drive they are on connected. Then when you connect that drive the images will be updated.
    Just COPY those 4 folders over to your internal drive to a folder called Lightroom Catalog that you create. Then Open LR and go to the File menu item and select Open Catalog. Browse to the folder you created called Lightroom Catalog and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file and click Open. Once Lightroom restarts open the preferences, Edit>Preferences, and on the General Tab in the Default Catalog section make sure "When starting up use this catalog:" area lists where you have copied those folders. Something like Macintosh HD/Wherever you created that folder/That folder name/Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat.
