Crashed pc, how to recover song lists?

My w2000 pc crashed - if the IPOD is connected on USB when it boots, the PC crashes. This time I could not get the system to recover. I installed a new version of w2000 on the second hard drive. I can see all the files on the original C drive. It looks like I need to reformat the C drive before I can make it boot again. How can I save the itunes library on that drive so that I can use it with a new itunes installation?
Thanks.

I usually recommend 2 to most people yamipod and podutil. Since you will have a blank iTUnes, Id recommend podutil. You can use there trail version to copy EVERYTHING off the ipod, songs with there ratings and playcounts, and playlist.
Heres the link http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php

How to recover song that are "lost", itunes can't find them even though I have downloaded and played them before

Does anyone know how to recover songs that itunes has "lost"?
I downloaded them, synced my ipod, songs were added and I was able to play them.
On a recent sync the songs are suddenly "not found" according to itunes. I can't locate them in the itunes folder, so I have no idea where itune put them. BTW-this is not the first time itunes stored songs in a random directory...... Since itune can't find them, they were deleted from my ipod

Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

How to recover songs that were deleted

How do I recover songs that were deleted from itunes library and itunes acount and coputuer.

If the songs were purchased using your Apple ID on iTunes, simply open iTunes, click on the iTunes Store, then click "Purchased" on the right side and you can re-download from there.
If the songs were not purchased using your Apple ID on iTunes, recover them from your latest computer backup.

How to recover songs on iPOD

I sync my IPOD with my home desktop, and have loaded lots of songs over last year. My desktop crashed, and have no hope of recovering that..is there a way I can load new MP3 thru iTunes and not lose the songs already on my iPOD?

1). 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.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. 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: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). 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.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, 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: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

COMPUTER CRASHED! how to recover lost library??

my computer crashed, wiping out everything! I re-installed/downloaded iTunes but all songs from previous library LOST. how do i recover them?

Well the few that you don't have on your iPod may be lost for good. You might be able to write to Apple and convince them to allow you to redownload them if you explain your situation. As to the rest...

How to recover contacts list on iphone 4 after updating to ios 7.0.4

After I updated my iphone 4 to ios 7.0.4 not only has my phone lagged terribly, but almost a week since the update my contacts list completely vanished. How can I fix that issue without further damage

So, I guess my iPhone upgraded without me being aware. But nevertheless I am now running iOS 7.0.4.
I've noticed the last few days that I'm encountering sporadic contact disappearance. I'll get a text, the notification shows their name, maybe a few minutes later i'll go to read the full message and now no name, just a number. I'll look and ALL my contacts are gone. the conversation screen has nothing but numbers and the favorites under phone are just numbers. Search can still work by name though so the phone "knows" that joe is 555-5555, but is not showing the connection.
TEMPORARY WORKING FIX:
Turning off contacts in my icloud settings and choosing to delete the contacts on my phone, then re-enabling contacts will pull them all back down for me. This of course takes about 5-10 minutes for everything to sync back to the phone.
I've tried restarting the phone.
I've tried resetting the phone.
I don't feel like wasting my time with a backup unless I can downgrade to something before 7.0.4 as it is obvioiusly buggy.
I am NOT going to set up as a new phone until this becomes a much bigger problem.
I hope this offers insight to others encountering this bug. My mother has had this happen on her phone as well. Please comment at least if you experience this. the more people that have it, the less chance apple can play it off as an isolated event on my phone.

App - REMOTE - How to organize song list?

I am using the app from apple called: Remote. It lets you connect to your itunes on ur desktop from your ipod touch and control the songs/volume over wifi. I haven't used it in a few weeks.. but I could of sworn last time I used it, it would show the songs in alphabetical order.. Now its not working and I am unable to figure it out.
There are 2 methods that I use to get it in alphabetical order.. 1 is an easy way and 2 is the long way. The first way bugged out on me and is what I am needing help with:
1) When you open Remote, there is a MORE option in bottom right hand corner.. and then you just select the songs tab and it shows all the songs. But now its not in alphabetical order =(
2) Open Remote, click ARTISTS option and then click ALBUMS and again click SONGS and THAT shows them in alphabetical order..
Anyone able to help me get step 1 to work? Sorry for long post, just wanted to hit all the details

I'm fairly new here, but I believe itunes will put it in the proper folder if you label it properly. If you have 2 songs from 2 different sources, and you want them in the same album by the same artist, make sure they have the exact same artist name and album name, and make sure under 'preferences' that you elect to have itunes organize your music files. The rest should be automatic.

ITunes top songs lists, calculation?

Does anyone know how iTunes "top songs" lists are calculated? Obviously they measure downloads, but over what time?
Also, there's one listing on the "portal" page of my country's iTunes store, but when I click it, songs are listed in another order. When checking the web site (with top songs by country), there's still another list. Why the differences, and which one is correct?
A related question: is it possible to see the number of downloads for a certain song?
Thanks!

Slightly more automated method:
Drag in the new song titles from the Store.
File > Display Duplicates.
Sort by Date Added. All the ones that are dupes and have a Buy button will now be together. Click the first, hold Shift, click the last to highlight the whole row, then Delete.
File > Display All. At this point, the remianing ones with a Buy button are known not to be dupes.
Since they are still sorted by Date Added, all the remaining ones with the Buy button will be together, and you can buy them!
Try this out with 8 or 10 new songs, including some that you know you already have and some that you don't. Give it a test before you do 200 songs.
Let me know!

Recovering iTunes Song List (iTunes Library.xml not updated)

How do I recover the iTunes library song list? My computer recently crashed, so I had to get this new one. The old hard drive is working fine. I just need the song list to be able to identify the songs that I have yet to copy unto my iPod (I arrange the library by 'Date Added'). Since my music files are located in a variety of places, it would be very difficult for me to locate each without being guided by the list.
For some weird reason, the iTunes Library.xml is not updated. It's still dated 2009, so that fix goes out the window, I guess.
Thanks in advance.

try if the suggestions in this thread help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168081&tstart=0.
