Help! PC crashed.. how do I get my music from my IPod back onto my ITunes and PC??
My PC recently crashed. I have a new one now, but once I re-installed ITunes it only pulled the purchased music. How do I get all the other music that I burned from CD's and from other sources back onto my PC from the IPod? I know there has to be a way to do this... please help!
Chris
You'll need the assistance of some sort of third party software. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering a few different possiblities.

PC Crashed-How do I get my music from my iPhone back onto PC?
My PC crashed a few weeks ago. I have had it reformatted and have reinstalled itunes. When I hook up my iPhone and choose "transfer purchases from Amanda's iPhone" it only pulls over a few random songs (and I have purchased many, many more). How do I copy my music off of my iphone onto my PC?
Thanks!http://www.podtomac.com/

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music that you've bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs then have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, whether they still exist and work I don't know.

How do I get the music from my iPod classic onto my computer if it came from a different iTunes account?
Hello JLGBone,
It sounds like you are needing to transfer your music from your iPod classic to your computer. The following article will help you transfer your iTunes Store purchases:
iTunes Store: Transfer purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Any items that are not purchased from the iTunes Store will need to be re imported to the iTunes library manually.
iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

How do i Get my music off my iPod back onto my hardrive where it originated
How do I get my music off the iPod back onto my computer after a crash....? There has to be a way. Other wise what's the point of the **** thing.
RDMHow do I get my music off the iPod back onto my computer after a crash....?
Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
There has to be a way.
There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
It's an audio player... not a backup device.
If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy. -
Most of my music is from CDs that I don't have anymore. I've got over a thousand songs and most of them were deleted when my computer crashed. Is there any way I can get my music from my ipod back onto my computer? Any sort of program you can buy? Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

How can I Sync my IPod in ITune on a new PC and get the music from the IPod in the library and avoid this msg:
You can only Sync one library with your IPod?Use the backup of the media and other important files from the old computer to put them on the new computer.
iTunes only syncs with one computer/library at a time.
If you have failed to maintain a backup or no longer have the old computer, you may be out of luck.
iTunes purchases can be transfered from the iDevice. Connect the device, do NOT sync. Select File > Transfer Purchases.
This will only transfer iTunes purchases. All other media will not transfer and will be wiped from the device when it is synced with a new computer/library. -

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

I have looked on here, and all I can see are solutions involving the use of both old and new computers, as I dont have the old one anymore I am hoping someone might have a workaround.
ThanksConnect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger tha about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

I have an ipod touch and an ipod nano. I also used to have a laptop but, it quit working and I no longer have it. I had all of my music on my laptop. So, I had to buy a new desktop. I lost my ipod touch at around the same time. I had all of my music on the ipod touch that was from my laptop. So in thye meantime I started using my nano more. I bought new songs on my desktop for my nano. Then I found my ipod touch. I would like to be able to keep both the somgs I have now on my ipod touch and the ones that I already bought on the desktop. What do I do?
No.
All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
The same applies here. -
