How do i download my library onto another pc

My ipods screen has stopped working and also my pc is broken, how do i download my ipod library to another pc. 

Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized by turingtest2 in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18842615
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How do I download my music onto another computer, when I no longer have the music on another computer, ipod, or any other storage device?

    Just as it says: How can I download music again that I have already bought and downloaded once on another computer?
    I no longer have the music on another computer (I no longer have the original computer) and the only other place I put the music was my Ipod that I lost. (Im sure its somewhere in my house, but can't seem to find it)

    Whether you can re-download your past music purchases will depend upon what country that you are in. On the iTunes store home page on your computer there should be a Puchased option under Quick Links on the right-hand side of it - go into that and see if music is an option for re-downloading

  • PLEASE HELP - how do I download old library onto new ipod???

    My old IPOD broke & will not function. I bought a new IPOD and need to download the music from my original ipod library on to my new IPOD (same computer). How do I do this?? Please help me - I have so much music downloaded already that I am afraid of losing or needing to download again. Any suggestions??? Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Is the music on your computer? If so then make sure everything is updated...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download
    Then just connect the iPod and it will sync the songs in iTunes.
    Post back if I misunderstood your question

    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

    How do I copy one image onto another image?

    Lots of ways;  Use the Place command to place a file in another.  Open two files and drag one to the other's window tab, drag an image from bridge onto an open file.  Open an image, press ctrl/cmd-A to select all, the ctrl/com-C to copy the image, the ctrl/cmd-V to paste it into another image.

    how do I download my library to my ipod

    If you have your library on your computer's iTunes then connect the iPod to it and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 and haven't already done so then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the right-hand side use the Music tab to select and sycn your music to your iPod.

    If it's an iPod Touch then depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to re-download past music purchases from the store directly on your iPod via the Purchased tab in the iTunes app : re-downloading.
    The page that you've posted from, automatic downloads, only applies to future purchases.

  • How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? When I plugged in my new ipod 5th gen, it only synced purchases.

    How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)?  I just bought an ipod 5th gen and when I plugged it in, it only synced purchases.

    You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

  • How to copy backup of iTunes library onto another computer?

    My primary laptop with my music library just crashed. I have a older laptop that I plan to use while I get the other repaired. I have a complete backup of my music library on external drive. After installing iTunes on the spare laptop I copied the backup music library to the iTunes music folder. However, when I start itunes, nothing shows up in iTunes. This has probably been discussed but several searches have not found how to recover this. Does anyone know what the process is?
    Thanks

    If you want to backup your iPod onto another computer you can download a program called "iPod to computer transfer" at the following URL:
