How do I get the music on my i pod to my new computer with an empty librar

I acedently erased all my music on my i pod while I was out traveling, so I filled the ipod with a lot of music from another computer (so I cant just burn the music on to a cd/dvd).
Now I have just bougt a new computer and downloaded itunes and I would just like to know how I can get all the music on the i pod into the itunes library on my new computer...??

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

    when your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How can i get the music ive copied from cd onto my new computer

       how can i get the music that i have copied from cd's on to my new computer.(the computer my phone was sync to blew up)  if i sync to the newit i will all the music  thats on my phone, 

    Restore from the backup of your old computer. Copy it from the CDs.
    Look for a 3rd party app that can do what you want. Senuti has been
    mentioned in the past - I do not use it so cannot comment on how
    well it works. I would assume there are others as well.
    iOS does not natively support syncing music back from the iPhone
    to a computer.

  • I just reset my computer How do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer aga

    Hi, I just had to reset my computer and i lost all my music... how do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer so i can listen to music again on my computer?

    itsVASH,
    Basically you do the reverse of how you got it onto the player to begin with. You will open up mediasource, select the Zen Touch in the left hand source window, select PC Music Library on the right hand side. Select your songs and press the arrow pointing to the right.

    You should have a backup but if not you will need to transfer the contents before you sync or it will be erased.

    For other music you will require a 3rd party program

  • How do i download my music off my nano 5 to my new computer with windows 8.1

    I have a new computer with widows 8.1. I installed I-tunes newest version. Now I need to download my old songs, to my new computer, off my Nano 5. How do I do this without taking a chance on losing all my old songs ? My Nano 5 showed up on the I-tunes but will not let me transfer new music to it, or download the old ones.

    Was having the same problem and found a video that shows how to get your songs back on itunes. I just did it and it's fairly simple.

  • My old windows computer died, how do I get my music off of my iphone to my new computer

    The hard drive in my old computer is totally fried, and my iphone is the only place my music is backed up. Is there a way to get my music from my iphone to my new computer?

    Here is a great program I used to use called TouchCopy,
      not only does it copy music, it copies videos, messages, books so on and so forth,
    It does cost but if you just need it this one time to put your music back you can download the trial version for Windows! Here is the link:

    ok so to cut a long story short my itunes account was on a laptop that broke, managed to get photo and music file backed up onto hard drive.
    Can i just log into my itunes account on a new pc to sync andbackup my iphone? or do i need to transfer my music file into the account?
    Really need some help!
    I have an iphone, Ipod and the account on the old laptop.

    "I don't have the old computer. It overheated and literally melteddown!"
    This is why it has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.
    Did you fail to do this?
    "I have been talked through a back up process of the itouch music  on to the new laptop before, but can't remember how to do it. Any ideas on this process."
    Again.
