Game Retrieval from iPod 5G

Hi,
I downloaded a game to my iPod from iTunes, but shortly after my computer started malfunctioning and I had to restore it to its factory condition to get rid of the problem. So now the game is in iPod only and I am wondering whether there is a way to upload it to my iTunes.
Is there anything I can do? I didn't back my iPod data anywhere else and was able to transfer all my music to iTunes with the help of 3rd party software.
Sony VAIO Windows XP iPod 5G 30GB

I would reccomend contacting apple.
Last I knew, they let you re-download you music once per year.

PC Crashed, No Back-up of music, is there any way to retrieve from ipod

I just posted another one regarding same problem. I restored pc, but had to reinstall iTunes, now when I try to plug in my ipod, iTunes says that my ipod is synced with another iTunes library, and asks if I want to sync with this one, but if I do, it erases everything?
It is not listed in my computer either? When I click cancel, my ipod appears in itunes, but I cannot copy or do anything to any of the songs there?
Please help, any help is GREATLY appriciated...

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". When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, 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
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store 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 content from other 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 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 also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the 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. 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.

Windows computer hard drive failed, data lost and not backed up. all music and pictures on ipod, much music from cd's entered into itunes years ago. How do I retrieve from ipod onto new computer hard drive?

windows computer hard drive failed; data lost. have new blank hard drive. Can I load ipod music and photos back onto new hard drive?

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 we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4

how can we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4??

Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing the content. If you want to transfer the game data as well, perform a backup and restore.

I cannot download pay games, only free games. My ipod was bought from Amazon uk on a uk credit card but we live in Spain. How do I complete a purchase?

When we try to download a PAY game onto the ipod touch a message comes up, your purchase could not be completed. I bought the ipod from Amazon UK on our UK credit card but we live and use in Spain. How can I get PAY downloads?

Location of Purchase, and method of purchase of the device is not important.
You have to make sure the Apple ID you are using in the device has a payment method associated with it that is from the Country or Region the Apple ID is set to.
Check in Settings->iTunes & App Store->Apple ID->View Apple ID->Country/Region and make sure you have a credit card for that Country/Region set under Payment Information
You can only legally buy content from the Apple Store of the country you are physically in.

How do I get games for my ipod classic? the clickwheel toolbar has gone from itunes!

I used to be able to buy games for my ipod classic by clicking on apps then clickwheel games, this option has dissapeared from itunes, does this mean I can't get them anymore? or can I get them some other way?

Hmmm. I see. It appears they have removed the Click Wheel Games altogether. I can't find any documentation regarding its removal.
Perhaps you should give Support a call and see what they say.

Retrieve photos from iPod

Recently my MacBook's hard drive failed, and I lost all of my information...I now have a new computer, but still am missing my photos. However, they are all on my iPod. When I tried to plug it in and retrieve I was having trouble figuring out a way to import the photos back into iPhoto. If this is possible, I would love to know how to do it.

If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:

iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows

How to retrieve music from ipod without syncing it

So my computer was messed up and I'm missing a bunch of music so i was needing to get the music files back. I have them on my ipod but i cant view them in itunes unless i sync the ipod which would erase the songs not on the computer and defeat the purpose of what i'm trying to do. I have the 'manually manage music' option checked and when i open up my ipod file from my computer it doesn't have the music files only pictures and stuff. I know it's possible to get the music without erasing it but i forget how and its really annoying, so how would i do so?

Here is the way about how to recover music from iPod
Assuming you're using a Windows 7 or 8 computer here.
Go to the start menu > type in hidd > open 'Show Hidden Files and Folders' > check the circle in that says Show hidden files, folders, and drives. > Click apply.
Now plug your iPod in. Go to Computer > click on eg. 'Azrielrain's ipo (H:)' or whatever shows up that looks like that > iPod_Control > Music > The files underneath that.
Now in those files will be mp3 or mp3 variants of your music, they will NOT however have the original names given to them. You can copy the files to your desktop, or music folder. That is pretty much the closest you'll get to being able to salvage your music from your iPod. Or you can use Data Recovery to help you recover your iPod music.
