Dug out an old ipod and started using it again, how do i transfer the songs that are on it to a new computer? I know that if I sync it with the library that I have started I will lose all of those songs. Is there a way to do this?

Old PC Died... How do i transfer the songs on my ipod to my new pc?

My pc HD failed and all my music was on there. I still have everything on my iPod. How do I get the music from my iPod to my new PC? When I connect it to my new pc it says that its going to replace my music with the new library (which is empty).

iClique,
I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in this post:

Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

How do I keep the songs on my ipod if I delete them off my computer

Ash
P.S : if u could could you e-mail me and explain how if there is an option I can choose to stop the songs from going off my ipod when I delete them from my comp. e-mail me at [email protected]

You'll eventually want to Transfer music manually
However:
Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes (time-consuming for any more than 10-20 CDs) and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs (expensive). Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

Need help syncing songs currently on ipod to a library on a new computer???

My hard drive crashed on my old computer so there is no back up. I had to download itunes on my new one and start over. I rec'd a message saying I can only use one library and need to clear and sync or do something else. I closed the message and cannot get it back again. My ipod will not sync at all not or tranfer music either way. What can I do? Help!!!!!

I am not sure that I have understood exactly where you have got to, but your post emphasises the need to backup your music.
It is possible to recover music from your iPod provided you have not already allowed your iPod to sync with the empty library on your new computer, see this Zevoneer post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4446066&#4446066
However I get the impression that you may already have allowed your iPod to sync, in which case it will have deleted you music from your iPod. Does your iPod still have your music on it or not?
If you muisc is still on your iPod use the Zevoneer post.
If your music has gone and you do not have another backup, your only hope is to try to recover your files from the iPod using undelete software:
Here is an example which is not free:

No doubt you could find others with google.

How do I transfer the songs from my ipod to a new computer?

I loaded a bunch of cds onto itunes on an old laptop and then synced it to my nano. That lap top crahsed and burned and I would like to be able to get the cds from my nano onto my new lap top. There are approximately 175 discs worth of music and i cannot re load all of them . Can someone walk a total noob through the process? thanks

There are really two options for you,
1st: An application called 'senuti' makes it possible to transfer the data from ipod to computer, something that is not possible with iTunes alone. This application however is not supported by Apple, and as a result may be somewhat unstable.
2nd: If the old PC is still in working order, you can copy the iTunes folder to an external hard drive (to locate this folder...with iTunes open, click the edit menu, then click preferences. Click the advanced tab. here you will find the location of the folder that iTunes keeps your media in. Using this path as reference, find the folder using the windows filing structure and copy it to the external hard drive. Now connect the drive to the new computer and copy the iTunes folder to the same location as it was found on the old machine...here is the cool part...hold down the option key (alt) and click to open iTunes. a dialouge box will appear asking you to either create or choose an iTunes library, click choose. Navigate through your computer in the resulting window and find the copied iTunes folder, click to go inside, here you will find a file called something like 'iTunes Library.itl' choose this file and click open.
iTunes will now be the same as it always was on the old machine, playlists and all.

How do I take the music from my iPod and load it onto a new computer?

I had to clear the contents from my hard drive and reload everything. When I restart iTunes, I can't get my music back. I don't care if it's on this computer again or another computer, but does anyone have any advice how I can just get my music? I have the iPod with all the music on it.
