HELP! I can't transfer my purchased music to my ipod

After purchasing a new pc and transfering my songs over via an external hard drive, I can't transfer new music that I purchased to my ipod. I purchased the new music with the new pc and a recently loaded version of iTunes via the website.
When I try to update my ipod with my new music I get a message that says my newly purchased songs are linked to a different library. How did I goof this up....buh.
Any help would really be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Rick,
First thing to do is confirm that your new computer has been authorized to play the purchased music.
And if it's not too late, you'll want to deauthorize the old one.
And the message you're getting is most likely that your iPod is connected to a different library. If you have successfully transferred all your music (including the purchased music) to your new computer, you can safely let iTunes link your iPod to this iPod.
Any further questions, post back.

How can i transfer non purchased music from my iPod classic to iTunes?

Recently, my laptop died and geek squad was unable to extract files from hard drive. How do I transfer non purchased music (burned cd's) from my ipod classic to itunes on my new laptop? Apple customer support suggested I engage support communities to find out about 3rd party software (not apple) that can accomplish this. Does anyone know of where I can find such software? Please and thank you

Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

How do you transfer NON purchased music from iPod Nano to itunes library? I have icloud.

My mac is authorized for my ipod touch but I can't transfer non purchased songs from my ipod to my itunes library.

My old macbook was stolen a month ago and I just got a new one. My new macbook is authorized for my itunes account, but my ipod touch is only able to transfer purchased songs. Whenever I try to transfer data from my ipod, itunes claims my computer isn't authorized and the transfer stops. What can I do to transfer my music?

An iPod Touch is not a backup/storage device. You should have been maintaining a backup of your personal data on an external HDD using Time Machine or other backup software of your choice.
However, there are ways to "recover" the music:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
Once you have recovered the music I strongly suggest you purchase an external HDD and start using Time Machine to keep a backup of your personal data.

With your iPod connected to your computer and iTunes running, select your iPod form the left pane, click the File menu in top bar, from there select "transfer purchases from iPod"
