Thanks a lot!
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content 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
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from an iPod. A few are advertised as iPod Touch compatible, here are some you can begin your research with:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

Computer Hard Drive Crashed - Need to Transfer from IPod to New Computer
The hard drive died on my old PC as I was transferring files to the new PC. Most data made it but my daughter's ITunes was not one of the things that made it. Fortunately the tunes all still exist on her IPod. How do I transfer them on to the new computer and ensure the music all makes it? She has a combination of music purchased from ITunes and music from CDs. Her IPod is an older mono screen model but I believe we had ITunes 6.x or later on the old machine if that makes a difference.
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. 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

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.

Installed iTunes on laptop, hooked up my iPod & tried to drag and drop music into library, but it will not allow files to come over.

Need to transfer from iPod to iTunes after storing iTunes on external drive
Hello,
Question: How do I safely transfer the library from the iPod tp iTunes?
Background: I tried to move my iTunes to a LaCie external hard drive and now my music library is not showing up on iTunes. The complete music library is on my iPod and I would like to know how to copy it back to iTunes.
Currently when I attach the iPod to the computer it gives me an error message that the iPod is connected to a different library.
Some more details:
- When I opened iTunes again after attempting to transfer it to the external hard drive there was a brief set up and then the purchased songs were transfered and those songs are the only ones showing up now on the computer's iTunes.
- I did change the settings under preferences to move iTunes to the D drive (the external hard drive).
- I also tried consolidating the library. It only showed the purchased songs.
How do I safely transfer the library from the iPod tp iTunes?

Hard Drive Crash - How to Copy from iPOD to new computer
My hard drive crashed and is dead, with over 3000 files of songs in my iPOD library. Can I use my iPOD, which still has the library, to copy those files to a new hard drive recently installed? How? If I just synch with the new version, will I lose anything from the iPOD? (Novice here).

External drive died- need to get two ipod contents back
My wife's and my daughter's iTunes libraries were kept on the external drive because of the space issue with my MacBook Pro. It seems to have died and won't power up. Is there a way of getting their respective iPod contents back into new libraries once I have a new drive and/or create ones under their log in accounts ?

External Drive crashed-how to restore from Time Machine?
I've been using TM to back up my internal, as well as an external drive. The external has been acting a bit flaky the past week or so, and I think it just bit the dust. How do I go about just restoring the data that was on it to a new external HD? I don't want to affect the internal HD at all. TIA.
Do not use exactly the same name for the new drive. Once your replacement drive is properly formatted, connected, and mounted, turn TM off and just open a Finder window and +Enter Time Machine.+ Navigate to the last backup before the old drive died, and select your computer name in the Finder's sidebar.
That should produce a list of folders representing both the internal and external drives. Select the external and click the "gear" icon in the Finder sidebar. Select +Restore <item> to ...+ and you'll get a prompt where you can select the new drive as the destination. The restore will, of course, take a while.
Be warned that when your turn TM back on, it will back-up everything on the new drive, so it will be lengthy and take a lot of room on your TM drive. You cannot prevent this, unfortunately. -

I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. My photos on the devices get wiped out when I sync to iPhoto since I deleted all the albums. But when I sync to my hard drive (where I maintained the album structure) the photos are copied to my iPad but lose all the hierarchy and folder structure. Now I have to scroll through thousands of photos to try to find the one I'm looking for. Before I sync any more devices I want to know the following: 1) can I restore the album structure on my iPad by using the photo cache? 2) is there a way to sync both new iPhoto albums AND pictures in the folders in my hard drive? And 3) how can I keep the photo hierarchy structure from my hard drive intact on my devices?

Don't do that.
Copy /Photos/Photo library/ to the external.
Hold Option and launch iPhoto.
Select Choose library and select the Photo library you copied to the external. -

External drive, one PC, one Mac, one iPod.
I have been looking through these forums and have gotten some useful information. However, I am still not clear on this. Here is my situation:
I have one 80gb iPod classic I just purchased. I have all my music on an external FAT32 drive. I have two computers. One is Vista and the other is an iBook. I would like to be able to plug my external drive into either machine and fire up iTunes and sync my ipod. Now, i've learned that if I first sync it on one machine and then go to the other to sync it, it will erase all my songs and reload them based on whats in the current library. It wouldn't be a problem if it just looked at the songs and then synced up any changes, however this does not appear to be what happens.
Is there any way to move my external drive from one machine to another with my ipod and use autosync without having to reload all the songs every single time? I understand I can use manually manage my files but I would rather sync because of podcasts and so on. Also, if manually managing files do play counts get updated?
Surely someone else has been in this situation before. Thanks guys.I don't know anything to help with this but I do know that playcounts do not update from iPod to iTunes when manual transferring.

How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folders within the artist folder and itunes moves the track/s whenever i try and load selected music to my ipod/iphone. I've tried to find some sort of preference to prevent this, but no joy? What am I missing?
Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.
