Computer Crashed- trying to get songs onto new iTunes

My computer crashed a few weeks ago. I am trying to get the songs I purchased on my "old" computer that are now only on my iPod onto my "new" computer. I somehow was only able to transfer 3 songs that I had bought. I don't know how I could only transfer 3 and not the rest. Please help!

Were the songs all purchased from a single Store account or from more than one. If the songs were purchased under different accounts then you would need to authorise the computer for each one. Failing that there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists (including purchases) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

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

Cant Synch CD songs onto new computer

Got a new computer, have music from CDs I put on my Ipod. Cant synch them onto my new computer's Itunes, only the ones I bought off there directly. How can I get my CD songs onto Itunes from my Ipod?

You copy them from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer.
The ipod is not a backup device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases.

Computer destroyed .. how to get purchases onto new computer

I'm pretty much computer illiterate except for surfing the internet and using Word.
I purchased several songs from itunes onto a computer which was destroyed (fire). I have a new computer (Latitude with Windows XP) and although I see all my old purchases listed when i look up my account, I don't know how to get them onto my new computer.
Can someone help me? Thanks.

Click here and fill out the form to ask for a free redownload; if your request isn't granted, you need to purchase the songs again to get them back.
Apple pays the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.

Need help getting music onto new computer.

I was curious if anyone knows how to get music from my 60 GB 5th Gen iPod onto my new computer. My old computer crashed, so all that I have is my music on my iPod, and I need to find a way to get my music onto my new PC. I figured I could just plug it into my new computer and that i'd be good to go, but apparently I was wrong. I've researched it a bit and all that I can find is confusing software that is going to cost me more money. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
For more on the new function in iTunes 7 look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: 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 again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

Old computer died, how do I get songs to new computer? HELP!!

My old computer's hard drive died. I am trying to hook my iPod up to my new computer to get my music onto the new computer's iTunes. The directions in the Applie help section don't work b/c they assume I can use my old computer to help with the transition. How do I do this without losing all my music?
HP Windows XP

Try one of these;
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
post back with results.

How to get songs onto new PC

Alright, my old PC completely crashed, with my iTunes and everything on it. I've got my iPod mini now (with my Mac) but the problem is I have no clue how to get all my songs from my iPod onto my computer. I don't want to have to load all of the songs from my CDs and rebuy them from Apple again... and I don't know if I'll be able to access my old PC again. Is there anyway to get my iPod mini songs onto the Mac?

Getting sites onto new computer

I just installed AbodCS6 Master Suite onto my new computer.
What's the best way to get my Dreamweaver sites onto the new computer so I can manage them?
(Do I copy and paste all the files from my old computer or download the site on my new computer)?
And is there a good way to keep everything synced if I want to be able to manage the site from two different computers or am I better off removing my old Dreamweaver CS6 installation?
Thanks

DropBox???
I work on sites from at least 3 computers all the time. The site files are all stored on dropbox so that a change on one system changes them all. I maintain sync carefully by keeping and storing ftp logs and work records.
I also run CS5, CS6 and CC on the same machine. As long as the site definitions are the same the local files will always be the same, only site sync may be a problem because CS6 will not have the same site sync info as CC.
I highly recommend that you invest in a file comparison program. I'm Mac based and I use DiffMerge ($20) and it's great for a double check on the files in question.
I've submitted feature requests to maintain site sync through Creative Cloud. Maybe that will show up in the future.

How do i get libaray onto new computer permenantly?

I recently got a new laptop and i was wondering how i could get my ipod classic library off my ipod and onto the computer. Please any help is appreciated.

So you want to copy your library from your iPod to the new PC rather than transfer your library from one PC to another?
Transferring from one PC to another is actually easier to do if you have an external drive or network connection between the two PCs and you need extra software to copy from your iPod if you want all your counts, ratings and playlists to be be transferred.
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

New Computer, want to upload songs onto new computer

I just bought a new I-MAC and want to get all of my music onto the new computer, but when I hookup my i-pod, it says I can only sync with one computer and I have already done this on another computer(it is a PC that has recently died). I have heard about "rippers" but there has to be an easier way to do this. I am sure I'm not the first one to encounter this, and I have looked for a way to fix this but haven't been able to find one...I am still learning the Mac operating system.
Thanks for the help

Apple doesn't support the transferring of music from your iPod to your iTunes. Only iTunes to iPod. So to do this you will need to download a third party program that will help copy your music from your iPod back to your computer, or there are a couple manual methods you can check out.

Personally I was in the exact position you are, I used Senuti to take the music off my Pc formated iPod and put it on my new Mac. It was easy, worked perfect, took me about an hour to get it off and reload it all back to my iPod. Saved me a lot of time and headaches, Good Luck

Any suggestions would be great! I have seen programs I can purchase but figure there has to be a simpler way.
THANKS!!
