If Itunes doesn't automatically prompt you open the Ipod updater and do a restore.

iTunes 11: How do I get the iPod button back once I go back to my music? Do I need to unplug and replug my iPod back in?

Nastyassink-
Apple's Camera Connection Kit includes both an SD adapter and a USB adapter. You can use an SD card or an adapted Mini SD card with the SD adapter. You can use a USB thumb drive with the USB adapter, as well as a USB adapter for other cards such as Compact Flash. (Some card adapters draw too much current and require a powered USB hub to work.)
It is required that the camera card or thumb drive be formatted as MS-DOS FAT, just as if it had been formatted in a camera. Photos and videos must be in a folder named DCIM, and have names consisting of 8 characters plus suffix, just as they would have been named in a camera.
Some video formats are not compatible with the iPad video player and must be converted on your computer. (The iPad can read M4V, MP4 and some MOV files.)

My old computer was stolen, how do I get my ipod touch music on to itunes

I have had my computer stolen with all my music, both itunes purchased and taken from old cd's, but still had my iPod Classic with all music. Then got new laptop and transfered music from classic to new laptop. Great. Then my classic was stolen and my wife replaced it with a Touch. Transfered all music that would fit to my Touch. Still had all original music on laptop. Laptop stolen again. Now just have what is on Touch and have a new computer and want to put all the music from Touch to iTunes. Will only take iTunes purchases. How can I get all my music from Touch to iTunes?

Was your backup copy of your computer stolen as well.
If not, then use that to put everything back.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod touch. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You can buy software to extract the other music.

HELP!

Download the latest iTunes and reinstall it, you'll get it here: iTunes
There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iPodAgent Windows Only
Senuti Mac Only
Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy that you understand and can use. They are generally quite straightforward.
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive through Windows posted in this thread: iPod to iTunes
You may already be using the iPod in manual update mode. However when you connect, if you are getting a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac you hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
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 again.
Another way is to connect your iPod and before it starts to sync, click the little X on the right hand side of the display beside the "Do Not Disconnect" message. The display is the little window to the right of the iTunes control buttons: iPod Interface
Or you could look at the method described in this link: How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
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 again.
Go with whichever method you feel most comfortable. Remember what I said above, if you are getting a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*.

How can I get my purchased items back to my itunes, my pc was reset to its factory settings after a virus, if I try to download files again (movies, ringtones, music) it charges me again????

lost my purchased files, my computer was reset, how can I get these back without paying again??

Outside the USA, that is the situation at present: downloads are once only and you are expected to take responsibility for backing up your purchases.
In the USA music can be downloaded again ('iTunes in the Cloud') - Apple's page on this also says 'TV shows' but doesn't mention music. Other countries as still waiting on rights negotiations for this factility.
It's possible that if you ask iTunes Support nicely they may agree to let you re-download as a one-off concession, but they are in no way obliged to do this. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column and then 'iTunes Store' in the second column. In the third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.

HT201272 How can I get my old ringtones back from the iTunes Store?

How can I get my ringtones back?

Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

After I've restored my IPhone 5, how do I get my downloaded music back onto my iTunes ?

After Ive restored my Iphone 5 from recovery mode, how can I get the Music that Ive downloaded back onto my IPhone? Is there any possibilities that I can even do so? If so, How? Thanks.

You can connect the phone to your computer and sync the tracks from your iTunes library. You can also re-download any purchases from Apple via the iTunes Store and the App Store by going to the "Purchased" tabs and downloaded your stuff.
Perhaps you could try this to resolve your issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4461

Upgrading OS - How do I get all my music back into reinstalled iTunes?

Hi. We are upgrading my operating system from Windows 2000 to XP on my computer that currently runs iTunes. I have my entire iTunes folder backed up on another computer. I know I'll probably have to reinstall iTunes after the OS is upgraded. But how do I add all that music back into the new version of iTunes? We won't be replacing the hard drive, so all that music should still be on the same computer.
When I reinstall iTunes, will it automatically add the music back, or will I have to do that manually? If so, how do I do it? Just go to the "Add a folder" option in iTunes and add the entire iTunes folder? If I do that, my playlists should be restored since I have the .itl file in that folder, right?
This is so confusing.

Install iTunes.
Copy the backed up iTunes folder into My Documents/My Music.

How do I get the iPod icon to appear in iTunes without unplugging..

When I first plug my iPod Nano in and open iTunes, my iPod shows up in devices. I sometimes accidentally click the iPod icon, disconnecting the iPod.
Is there a way to reconnect without doing it manually? What I mean is, without unplugging and then plugging back in?

Not sure if this works because I don't have my iPod plugged in right now. If you go to the File menu in iTunes, is the "sync iPod" available or is it greyed out? If it's available, I would think that clicking it would bring the iPod back into the iTunes source window.
Again, not sure without having mine plugged in to check.

How do I get my iPod songs back on my computer without deleting them?

How do I get my Ipod driver back in my device manager?

Ok, it goes like this:
Brand new Ipod, replacing one that was permanantly locked up, is not recognized by my cpu. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes, have checked for viruses and spyware, have done every thing tech support and this site suggested to a letter.
A tech savvy friend of mine theorized that I may simply need the Ipod driver downloaded onto my cpu, and then the cpu would recognize the Ipod.
Does this make sense, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Please and thank you...

This might be the problem I'm having.
My 5G 30GB iPod's working fine but isn't recognised by my computer. It won't even charge on my computer. I've tried it on another computer and it works fine.
I've uninstalled, re-installed, done everything i can find on the support pages and it still won't work. The USB ports on my computer are fine as my mobile phone connects and charges and synch's with my pc just fine in the same port.
I've switched ports as well.
Uninstalled any newer programs that may have caused the problem since i last connected. Nothing!
What is going on Apple - sounds like a lot people are having the same sort of troubles.
Edit - it's now charging, but still not recognised...
