How 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.

  • 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.

  • How do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

    This is probs the oldest question out there, but how do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How do I get my music off my iPod Touch?

    I had a virus and had to delete all the data on my computer. I am now setting iTunes up again and I tried to get my songs off my iPod touch. It transfered only a small portion of my music, only the songs I had purchased in the past few months or so. I am authorized on this computer, and the few songs I got by trying to sync the songs off my ipod. How do I get my music off my iPod so I can listen to it on my computer?

    You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software to help you recover the non-iTunes purchased music.  See this older thread for a few possibilities.

    Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

  • Call me silly but how do you get your music off your ipod....

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

    Transfer all iTunes purchases by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases with your iPod Touch plugged into your PC and in iTunes.
    For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need the help of third party software to help get the job done.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering a few options.

  • How Do I Get My Music Off My Ipod Touch Cos My PC Blew Up!!

    I'm hoping someone can help me...
    My PC recently died on me so i lost all the data including my itunes library.
    Is there any way to get the music off my ipod touch? I've tried just exploring it in My Computer (Windows XP) but the ipod isn't showing up a drive...
    I've a couple of 3rd party freeware apps but they say that the ipod is not connected (but the ipod works ok itself)
    Can anyone help?

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to the iPod and iPhone. However there are a few third party utilities that are advertised as iPhone and iPod Touch compatible which can be used to retrieve the music files and playlists etc. Have a look at the web sites and help pages for these ones and see what you think or check the web for reviews:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
