Help! New pc how to NOT loose my songs

Hi my ever so lovely son crashed my pc by posting small toys into the cd drives (nice one son) because of this my pc had to be wiped of everything and new drivers installed. I have obviously just now loaded i tunes again is there any way that when I now sync my ipod I can save the songs already on there? I didnt manage to save anything from the pc before it crashed and burned.
Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance Kate x

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 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. Also when using a lot of the utilities 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 iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's 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, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
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 in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

My last computer crashed and it had all my songs and i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back

ok so my last computer crashed and it had all my songs and that day i got a new ipod how do i get those songs back thast i paid for?

If the songs are not on an iPod or a computer (didn't you have a backup of your computer files?) you are probably out of luck since you only get one download of music from the iTunes store and it is up to you to back them up. However, the Itunes store may allow a redownload if you explain what happened. Go to the following and select the appropriate topic to contact them.

i just bought a new iphone, how do i get my songs fron itunes onto the new phone? when i log into itunes, none of my songs are there...

Are you saying your iTunes doesn not have your songs? If not, where would they be? If on an older iphone, then they should have gotten there via itunes and itunes has them.

I just got a new computer how do i transfer my songs from my old computer

i need help! i just got a new computer, how to i transfer all my songs from my old itunes on to my new itunes?

New computer - how do i get my songs from my ipod to transfer???

I had to get a new computer and need to get all my songs from my nano over to the new computer library. i was able to see the options to transfer my purchased songs but that was only 21 out of several hundred still on my nano.
anyone please help, thanks.

For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
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), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

New library, old Ipod. How to not loose all Ipod content......

Hi,
I had to format my computer and lost all data. I thought I would just sync my Ipod from Ipod to computer and be done with it.
Well, it didn't work. For some reason I can't seem to get the songs from my iPod in my iTunes library.
Another thought was to just pull the songs from the Ipod onto my computer and then from there into my Itunes library, but I only see 4 folders (foto's, notes, etc) i can't see the MP3's Any reason why.
Hope anyone can help me with this.

Ipod: 30G video

Need Help new Nano mp3 player, not really sure how to use it

I cant get any music on the player, im using morpheus downloaded files, is this a problem or is there a way for me to reformat them or what. Im new to this so i really have no idea what to do. Thanks.

What format are the files in? As far as I can see Morpheus is a P2P file sharing program, not a specific file format so it depends on which files you download. The Nano will play mp3 and wma files.
As long as they are one of these types of file you should be able to download them to your PC and then drag'n'drop them onto your Nano using Windows Explorer.

How can I sync my iPhone with a new iTunes library and not loose apps?

Up until a few days ago I was syncing my iPhone with my PC notebook. Long story short, the machine crashed and I had to re-install. luckily I had a backup of all of the music from my iTunes library which is now hosted on my Mac Mini, but I didn't have a copy of my apps (why iTunes keeps these files outside of the folder I kept my library in I don't know).
Now I'm syncing music and video with my Mac Mini, but when I select that I want to sync apps I get the message that everything on the phone will be deleted.. Is there a way to back up the apps so I can add them to the library and sync them back to the phone without losing them?

I had the same issue with a withdrawn app. Just copy all the .app files from the old directory to somewhere on the new machine, then drag them onto the Application menu item on the left hand side and iTunes will import them as long as you've already registered iTunes for the same account.
Job done! Worked a treat for me - including the app that wasn't available any more.....

HELP- New VI function does not seem to work in Built Application

My Application is designed to coordinate several (16) separate test stations from one control. The test stations can run independently. I have a Test Manager application that launches independently running Test Runner VIs when the user has selected a test to run and the conditions to run it with. There can be 0 to 16 Test Runner VIs running at any given time. Each Test Runner VI uses the same template Test Runner.VI code but is given a unique Name based on a randomly generated GUID. I use a sequence of the New VI function, VI.FP.Open and VI.Run VI to create the VI based upon the template, give it a unique name and then launch it to run independently. See JPG fragment attached.
This design works perfectly well when used in the LabView 2010 development environment. But it does not work when I build the Test Manager as an EXE application. There are no errors generated, but the new VI is not launched and I think that one of the functions in the sequence never returns. I am not sure if the New VI is created or not.
Does anyone know how to modify this so that New VIs can be created, uniquely named and launched, that will work properly no matter whether the creating VI is running in either development (for debugging) or as a built application?
Does the sequence New VI function, VI.FP.Open and VI.Run VI work when used in a Built application? Is there some other method that will work to serve this need?
Is there a function in LabView that will launch an exe file like WinExec does? Perhaps I can use that.
THANKS MUCH for any advice.
Solved!

Are you using any paths in your VI?
I do see the Application Directory in the image you posted. Do you have other paths?
Do you use the same computer that you developed with to run the executable?
You can create indicators for the paths and confirm that they are okay. Do you automatically close the front panel when closing the application?
If so, you can disable that portion of the code, re-build the code and look at the paths and any error message.

Syncing iPhone (how to not loose data?)

I have just reinitialized my disk I was using to sync to my iphone, and completely reinstalled a fresh system. Now I'm trying to get my iphone data off my phone (like contacts) and onto my computer, how do I do this without loosing them? Can I sync my mac with my iphone and have the new mac get the iphone data and have none of it deleted off the phone?
If I loose this data off the phone I will have lost a great many things I need.

Yes, you can. Make sure that your address book and calendar have at least one new entry in them.
When you sync the iPhone for the first time it will prompt you to either override the iPhone or Merge the information. Select merge.

HELP- new laptop- how do i transfer my existing tunes onto my new laptop?

Hi Guys,
I have 800 tunes saved in the Library on my old laptop and have brought a new laptop. I want to transfer my existing tracks onto the new computer. Could someone explain how to do this or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
Jen

It's easy.
I'm assuming you know how to get your two notebooks onto the network, and make them accessible to each other by sharing folders.
Goto old notebook itunes, goto your iTunes settings and check to see where iTunes keeps your music. It could be in your 'My Music'. This is also where iTunes keeps the Library database. Regardless, confirm the location because you will need to SHARE this folder on your network.
Goto NEW notebook itunes. 2 things need to happen here.
(1) In your iTunes settings, make sure you tell itunes to manage your music (which means it will copy any songs you add to the library to a local central location on your NEW notebook).
(2) Import your ITUNES Library from OLD notebook. The import command is found in the FILE menu. Remember - you will need to browse over the network to your SHARED Folder sitting on the OLD notebook. Once iTunes imports the library, it should also be copying all the songs over the network to your new notebook. I would highly recommend not doing this over a wireless network.
Simple.

Help: new MSI 970a-g46 not booting.

hello.
i searched this forum before posting but couldn't find a solution that worked, so i thought i'd post my issue and see if y'all could help. basically, after installing the mobo and all the parts, powering on the machine does nothing but spin the fans and illuminate phase 1 CPU light for a split second. then nothing. no beeps, no further activity.
i just purchased brand new:
MSI 970A-G46
AMD FX 8-Core
Ballistix 4GB DDR3 PC3-12800 (1 stick)
Diablotek EVO ATX midtower.
and i'm using these my old parts:
Themaltake Purepower 500 ATX 12V 2.0
Gigabyte G Force 8 Series (GV-NX86S256H) graphics card
an IDE PCI card (where my 160gb maxtor with the OS connects)
two SATA drives seagate 500GB and a WD 2TB
up untill i shut down my old system to build this one, everything was working fine.
after reading the forum, i've tried moving my RAM from slot 2 to each other slot. trying to boot each time had same result.
i tried to reseat the CPU chip, but went no further than taking the fan off and making sure the CPU pins were not visible. then pushed down on the fan with some force while i put it back. trying to boot had the same result.
i've tried to clear the CMOS, but honestly not sure if i did it right. moved the jumper over, then waited a bit and moved it back. tried booting after that, same result.
i'm hoping someone has a quick fix that might keep me from pulling the mobo back out and starting again.
(side question: if i do have to start again, do i need more heatsync themal goo or will the stuff already on the CPU still work since it's never turned on?)
thanks in advance for any help. if i can provide more info on my setup, please let me know.
this is my first build all on my own and it's having predictable results.

i searched and found i made a real rookie mistake. :(

2. Did you plug in the 4/8-pin CPU power connector located near the CPU socket? If the motherboard has 8 pins and your PSU only has 4 pins, you can use the 4-pin connector. The 4-pin connector USUALLY goes on the 4 pins located closest to the CPU. If the motherboard has an 8-pin connector with a cover over 4 pins, you can remove the cover and use an 8-pin plug if your power supply has one. This power connector provides power to the CPU. Your system has no chance of posting without this connector plugged in! Check your motherboard owners manual for more information about the CPU power connector. The CPU power connector is usually referred to as the "12v ATX" connector in the owners manual. This is easily the most common new-builder mistake.

wow. plugged in the 4 pin cpu power and it booted into bios. so thanks for the help and for listening.
