Computer reinstalled - itunes ipod reinstall help???

Hi everyone, first post here and I'm after help, not the best of starts eh. Anyway I'm Steven from Manchester in the UK and have got a 5th Gen iPod, which is also my first ever iPod
Anyway, onto my problem. I had a major problem with my PC on Sunday and finally got it sorted on Tuesday. I lost my 1st HDD so lost iTunes and my iPod installation as well as all my files. Luckily for me though I had backed up my music and videos on my 2nd HDD, but sadly I hadnt backed up the library.
Just wondering if there is a way of reinstalling iTunes so that it'll recgonise my songs and videos and not wipe them first, or will I have to just create all playlists etc again?
2nd question is, that I've now misplaced my iPod CD so am unsure of how to install it. Can I download the install software again? If so then where from?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out in anyway

I'm not sure what you mean by "Just wondering if there is a way of reinstalling iTunes so that it'll recgonise my songs and videos and not wipe them first, or will I have to just create all playlists etc again?"
I'm assuming you are referring to your iPod being wiped on connection to your new iTunes. Have a look here for preventing your iPod being updated: "How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93779
You don't need to install your iPod but for future use, you'll get the iPod Updater software here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060110.html

HT1211 When uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes does not help in coverting movies

From the Advanced menu, choosing Create iPod or iPhone Version,"Converting..." did not appear. Unstall and reinstall iTunes does not help. What else can i do to convert the movies so that i can download to my iphone?

See this on how to back up your music to removeable media, such as CD or DVD:
Backing up your music files in iTunes
It's a very good idea to do this, but know that uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes will not affect the music stored on your computer.

0X is a Windows Error. Take the time to look over on the right under the "More Like This" and look for ones that have the green checkmark as being solved. You should find answers there.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

My computer nor my Itunes doesn't recognize my Ipod touch when I plug it in. I have already tried restarting my Ipod and uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes but it hasn't worked. Help please???!?!?!?

Try:

Next try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod/cable problem or a computer problem

Itunes/ipod updating HELP!

whenever i plug my ipod into the computer it updates my ipod, however once that update is done if i change a setting and hit sync or apply nothing happens..itunes say it is updating but my ipod doesn't respond and it says that it is updating for a good minute or so then i get an error message. the error message says that the ipod cannot be synced, the required disk cannot be found.
how can i get this to work so that i can update my ipod?
also..if you uninstall your itunes then reinstall it will you lose all of your songs? if you can help me PLEASE do..i can't get anything to work.

Why can't you set it to manually update?
Connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Set it to manually manage music. Click OK.
Why doesn't that work?

I have a ton of music on my laptop itunes and can't load it!! I don't think I should have to delete anything from the ipod..HELP!!

THanks.

How do I get Video files from my computer to my Ipod? Help Please, Urgent!

How do I get video files that I already have on my computer into Itunes and onto my Ipod???

Assuming the video files are in the correct format for iPod, all you need to do is add them to your iTunes library then sync the iPod. Under the file menu in iTunes is an option the add a file or folder to the library.

ITunes/iPod sync help needed!

So I have a 2nd gen iPod touch, and I buy all my music straight off of iTunes app. My old Mac computer (Let's call it Mac1) had all of my songs that I had bought on there prior to when we replaced it (may 2011). Then, we got Mac2. I can't put my songs that I bought after May 2011 onto Mac2, because it will only let me delete my ENTIRE library on my iPod (which has all of my purchased music on it). I don't want to lose those songs that I spent my money on. How do I make my iPod sync to a new computer and get the iPod's songs onto the computer?

Just transfer the iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You may also be able to redownload the music( and apps) by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Some of its required files are missing please reinstall Itunes!! HELP

Ok I have updated to ITUNES 7.5 and now quick time and Itunes both do not work. Both have been reinstalled and uninstalled countless times, after trying the fixes listed in the discussions,nothing works. If anyone can email the solution to this enigma I would be most appreciative.

The software required for communication with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to reinstall the iPod's software.

I've reinstalled twice! Still getting same message. Run Windows XP

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies. The notes below the box include tips on removing troublesome components.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
