Help with itunes/ ipod problem

My computer crashed windows xp, I had to download the new version of itunes, now my ipod still has all the song that I loaded in.I want to reload the songs to itunes without loosing all my songs. The last time I did this my itunes was empty and it erased all my songs from my ipod,Is there a way that I can get ipod the reload the somgs without itunes erasing everything? Almost like a palm,download ipod to itunes. Thanks
Windows XP

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.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

Help with itunes/ipod

My iTunes is not working properly. It is not showing that my iPod is connected.
My iPod continues to show the Do not disconnect display. How do I eject it if it does not show up on itunes?
If I have accidently disconnected it while it was showing the do not connect display, what do I do?
I tried to reset the ipod but it would not reset.

Ok, I guess I messed up more than I thought. After my iTunes froze and quit responding, I reset my computer. I thought it was ok to disconnect the ipod. Now, the "do not disconnect" screen is still being displayed. I tried to reset the ipod, but that didn't help. The ipod is not shown on "my computer." Now what should I do? Thanks!

Apple won't help with iTunes freezing Problem!

I just spent ove 37 minutes on the phone last night with Appple (I don't) Care telephone support. The rep couldn't help me and would not transfer my call to a supervisor because "Supervisors do NOT talk to customers." I'm at a loss. I can't believe I paid for the Protection and Service Plan. I've always been a fan of Apple but now I'm about ready to buy a PC. Can anybody help?
I am running OS 10.3.9 on a G4 machine with 768 MB SDRAM. I downloaded the latest version of iTUNES. I Restored my iPOD twice. (I have a 30 GB Video iPOD). I tried transferring songs over 30 or less at a time. iTunes still freezes. WHen it does freeze, I can't stop the update, I can't Force Quit iTunes and I get stuck with the spinning beachball of death. I actually have to hit the power button to turn of my machine and start over from scratch. I'm about to give up and return my iPOD. Who else has had this problem and did oyu ever get it fixed?

There is no damage to repair. iOS 7 is operating within expected parameters.
The fact that you dislike the new OS is not something Apple "needs" to fix. Personally I like the new design.
iOS 7 has been out for almost a year. If you did not know what it was going to look like before you updated by now, then its all on you for not doing your research.
And really the colorful icons are your main issue, what are you 5 years old? Seriously grow up.
Find a yellow note taking App in the App store and move on.

I had a similar problem there is lots of free software, sorry cant remember the exact one I used, but start with typing "How do I transfer mucic from i-pod to pc" into google and that will set you in the right direction, it will basically allow you to drag the info back from your i-pod onto a specified location, it is a long process I had about 45 gig to do and in total it took about 16 hours to complete, however when you consider the alternative it is a no brainer really

Please Help with Itunes/Ipod issue

So I got given an Ipod touch for my birthday and it says i need itunes to use it, so i try to go to apple site to download itunes and the site will not load. I tried both the UK and US sites. Infact I cannot get any page to load up other then the UK sites home page. So this is making it kinda difficult to get itunes and get my ipod working and its **** annoying as i am left with a present i cant use.
I know its not my PC at fault as i have tried other computers and the pages still dont load.
Does anyone know where i can download itunes from or even why the site has not been working for the last week?

yep just tried your link and the page just doesnt load, i have sat here for 5 minutes on the same page waiting for it to load and nothing.
It does the little swirly loading thing in the corner of the tab to say its loading the page but it doesnt actually get there and finish it.
I have tried 3 different browsers on 4 different computers and also asked a friend to try on theirs to see if they can get to it and they cant either, so it cant be the computer, something must be up with the site.

Can you help with itunes installing problem?

When I try to install itunes on my xp 32 bit it directs me straight to the thank you. what could cause this

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Andrew,
The iPod and iTunes are not compatible with Windows ME and the minimum requirements are Windows 2000 with SP4 or XP with SP2 (although I use several iPods and don't have SP2).
If you can't upgrade to one of these, then you can use the iPod with ME if you are prepared to fiddle around a little. However, you won't be able to use iTunes.
See this.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME
You can use iPods purchased in the USA here in the UK. Our family uses 3 such iPods.
You can also use the iPod on any number of computers as this document explains.
Using iPod with multiple computers
Whoever gave you you all this wrong info deserves to be shot!
Just one more thing Andrew. Please start your own topic in future instead of jumping in an interrupting someone else's with an unrelated query. It's know here as "threadjacking" and is against the discussions Terms of Use.
Good luck with ME!

HT1329 hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to get my music from my ipod to i tunes so that i can be able to transfer the music on my i tunes to my ipad mini can you help me with that ?

You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

HT1349 How do I get help with Itunes when I dont have a serial number for a Mac because I am not using a Mac???????

I just want to get some help using itunes. I have downladed music - paid for music, and can't get it into itunes. When I used th e'support' thing it just wanted to know my Mac serial numbers!! I don't have a Mac I hace a standard non Mac PC. So why can't I get help with itunes? Its taken me half an hour to get into this support thing because every single name I chose was taken!!!! Its just a nightmare. I hate it!
And now it tells me I must 'choose a community' and itunes isn;t listed! It gets worse! So I chose any community because this is just a never ending nightmare. 40 minutes ago now I clicked on support for itunes and I ended up here!

Thanks again. I bought two albums. I've no idea what I use to open a zip file. I just tell it to open and it ususally does but this time Windows media player won't do it!
I am in the UK and its 23.43 so I have to give up and go to bed now. As I said I have had no probes with Amazon downloads. I did email CD baby for help but they just sent the links that you offered earlier.
I have tried to burn to CD so I can listen that way but though I go through all the motions I can't add the tracks to the burn list by copying and pasting, and I can't 'drag the tracks here' beacuse the tracks aren't showing, just the whole album folder. It looks like this:
SO02294360-catherinefeeny12-mp3 (1).zip
file:///C:/Users/User/Downloads/SO02294360-catherinefeeny12-mp3.zip
Show in folderRemove from list
Have to give up for today and go to bed but your responses are very much appreciated. Thank you

What generation of iPod touch do you have? If you don't know, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
If you have an first-generation iPod touch, it can only go to iOS 3.1.3 and hence will not run the Facebook app. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, see:

I need help with a browser problem

I am was given a new iMac G3 (from 2001) which was really never used.I have not yet had any serious problems with it, but really could use some help with a browser problem.
I have 4 different web browsers that needs the macro media flash player update. The browsers I use are internet explorer, iCab, Netscape, and the original Mozilla Firefox.
It would be of great appreciation for the readers of this post to answer my question.
I am also having the problem with installing the plug - ins for the browsers. Thank You For Taking the Time To read This!

Hi, rynodino -
As Tom has suggested, plugins need to be installed in the Plug-Ins folder for the browser.
Typically each browser will have its own Plug-Ins folder, usually located in the same folder containing the browser itself. In order for each of several browsers to access the same plugins, the plugins must be replicated and placed in each of the Plug-Ins folders for each of the browsers. The easy way to do that is to hold down the Option key while dragging a plugin to the new location - a copy (not an alias) of the plugin will be generated at the location it is dragged to.
Most plugins will display a Netscape icon regardless of where they are located - this is normal.
It is not unusual for the installer for a plugin to default its install to the Plug-Ins folder for Internet Explorer. So be it. Just replicate the new plugin to the other Plug-Ins folders as needed.
Note that some plugin installs will involve more than one item. For those, be sure to replicate all items for it. Using labels can help identify what is new, what has been most recently added, in a Plug-Ins folder.

3, Can can tech support be expired on a 3 day old machine?

First, have you moved or renamed the iTunes or iTunes Music folders, or any of the folder or track files in those folders, since iTunes last worked correctly?

My friend needs help with her ipod

My friend needs help with her Ipod. Here's what happened. She connected her Ipod to a casette adapter and the ipod just froze. She started doing the reset but to no avail. What do you think cause this? She really needs help so if anyone can suggest what to do that would be greatly appreciated.
I don't specifically know her ipod but I think that it is the Ipod 30gb.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
She needs to reset her iPod by holding down Menu and Select for 6-10 seconds...
Resetting iPod
It may take several attempts. The above link also has "tips" if the iPod does not seem to be resetting.
If she has tried many times, along with the "tips" and the iPod still won't reset, then she will have to wait for the iPod's battery to die and then she can charge it back up and it should work fine. The iPod should reset though.
