HT1329 how do i back up my ipod to a new computer without my old computer

my old computer was destroyed in a fire haw can i transfer my music from my old ipod classic to itunes on a windows computer

This website walks you through step by step how to download the music from your ipod to either a Mac or a PC. For a PC, you will not need to download any software. I haven't tried the methods recommended for a Mac or for reformatting the ipod, but the method for the PC works.

How can I get my old iPod onto my new computer without my old computer?

The hard drive on my old computer recently crashed and there was no way to recover anything from it. I was currently using iTunes 7 on that computer so everything was updated. I was using Windows XP on my old computer but I just bought a new one that has Vista. I have a lot of songs and pictures on my iPod and want to get them to my new computer. How can I do this if I don't have any computer authorized to my iPod without losing everything? Please help!

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions

iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, 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. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How can I transfer my music from an Ipod to my new MAC? My old computer broke.

My old computer broke. I got a new MAC Book PRO. I have all may music in an Ipod classic. Can I recover my music to my new MAc?

Does the old hard drive still work? You can buy an external hard drive case and transfer data to your new Macbook Pro and recover your itunes libary. As far as i'm aware, Apple have not created software or allow you to move music from ipod to Mac.

HT1329 how do i use my iPhone to move my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one?

Im trying to move my itunes library via my phone. My old computer crashed so I couldn't move the iTunes file. Is there any way I can do it through my iPhone?

iPhones are not backup devices.
Move or copy the content from the old computer or the backp of the old computer to the new computer.

How to migrate to a new computer without the old computer?

My old PC was destroyed in a flood. I have all my music on my iPod and want to get it all to my new PC. I have 9100+ songs of which about 95% were imported from CD. I do not want to have to spend a month re-importing.
All the threads I found by searching seem to assume I have access to my old PC to change settings etc.
Can I do this or am I screwed?

1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

You can restore from your backup. You do have backups, right?

How do I back-up my ipod touch 4g?

so I have the white screen of death and I heard that rebooting might help it. but if it doesn't work, I really dont want to lose all of my apps, musics, bookmarks, data, EVEYRHTING!! so will backing-up my ipod(for the first time) before rebooting( for the first time) EVERY SINGLE THING I have on my ipod? if it can: 1) how do I back-up my ipod? 2) once i've rebooted, how do I get those saved data and put it back into my ipod??

Sadly if you have the white screen of death you may not be able to do much, all depending on if it's the screen that has malfunctioned or the iOS. First I would recommended plugging into iTunes and seeing if its recognized to be able to backup. These instructions are listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 including the answer to your second quesiton.
If you are unable to backup, indicating youriOS is not working properly, I would start with a 2 button reset as outlines on the 2nd slide here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the iPod continues to boot to a white screen and does not allow you to backup, you may be out of luck and have to follow the rest of the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
I hope this helps!
