HT201210 I have had to have my computer "wiped" because of a virus. I now do not seem to be able to get my music from my iPod touch to the computer. Help please. Many thanks.

After a virus, I had to have my computer "wiped". I cannot seem able to get my music back to my computer from my iPod touch. Help please

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase 3rd party software to extract other content ( not supported by Apple).

  • Old computer died, need to get my music from my ipod touch to my pc, how can I do this without losing music for free!?

    I have an Ipod touch with about 900 songs on it, i used to connect with my old pc until it recently broke. i have just bought a new pc and was wondering how i could get my music from my ipod to my new computer! the only thing i need is music , no videos or anything. does anyone know how i can do this for free? not very good with computers by the way!

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - If you have synced photos and some other items you will need a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. They also do music.
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backyp by right clicking on the iPod uder Devices in iTunes and select Backup
    - Then restore the iPod from that backup. 

  • How do I get my music from my IPod back in the library of my new computer, it tells me I can only Sync my IPod with one library but I don't have my old PC anymore?

    How can I Sync my IPod in ITune on a new PC and get the music from the IPod in the library and avoid this msg:
    You can only Sync one library with your IPod?

    Use the backup of the media and other important files from the old computer to put them on the new computer.
    iTunes only syncs with one computer/library at a time.
    If you have failed to maintain a backup or no longer have the old computer, you may be out of luck.
    iTunes purchases can be transfered from the iDevice.  Connect the device, do NOT sync.  Select File > Transfer Purchases.
    This will only transfer iTunes purchases.  All other media will not transfer and will be wiped from the device when it is synced with a new computer/library.

    My hard drive took a nose dive not too long ago, and I've gotten a new one, but having problems transferring all my music from my iPod touch to the new PC. When I searched for help the only thing I found said it didn't apply to the iPod touch. Can anyone point me in a better direction?
    Thanks!

    Hello,I have downloaded photos from my ipod touch following the instructions but it doesn't download videos.Can you help please?

    doesn't download videos
    I seen so many of these post for windows users.
    Try my little "trick" (must be running iOS 4.3 or better)
    Download the app "Download Manager Lite" (FREE) or "Download Manager" Full ($ 1.99 USD)
    After downloading, transfer it to iTunes
      iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer 
    After transferring, Go to your iDevice (on itunes), to the apps page, scroll down, you can add/save videos and/or files. 
    Click on "Add", find the folder of which your movies are being downloaded. Its much faster than syncing from itunes.
    You can do the wi-fi transfer, the best part is that you don't have to be connected to the same wi-fi.
    You will get 2 different URLs you need to type on your computer. Type the Web URL not the ftp URL. After that, you should have access to the app, without the need of itunes. 
    Click on Add, find the folder of where your movies are stored, faster than syncing with iTunes.
    HOPE THIS HELPS.

    Hi gene98,

    It sounds like you still need to change the country for your iTunes Store account. Please review the attached article for information and instruction on how to do so.

Has this happened to anybody before, if so, please share some ideas. This will help me a lot since I haven't added any songs into my ipod for almost a month now!!! =(

  • How can I restore all the music from my iPod touch to a new iTunes/computer?

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen running on iOS6, a computer running on Windows 7, and iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (newest as updated today).
    Basically my laptop got destroyed beyond repair, the laptop that my iPod was synched to.
    I have iTunes now on another computer, how can I get my music from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer? Even getting it onto the computer will do at this point, as I don't want to have to download/rip CDs to get my entire music collection back.
    When my iPod is plugged in I can click on 'transfer purchases' but this only restores the apps to iTunes.
    When I had my old iPod classic, and was using an older version of iTunes, when I plugged my iPod into a new iTunes it said something along the lines of 'there is music on this iPod that is not currently in your iTunes, would you like to transfer to iTunes?' But there is no option like this now, I don't know if it's because its a different and newer iPod, or because a newer version of iTunes.
    Please tell me there's a way to copy all my music from my iPod to my computer, and preferably straight into iTunes so I don't have to input all the info again.
    Don'tcha just miss the old 'copy and paste music' mp3 players you had as a kid? *sighs at how complicated technology got*

    Most of my music is from CDs that I don't have anymore. I've got over a thousand songs and most of them were deleted when my computer crashed. Is there any way I can get my music from my ipod back onto my computer? Any sort of program you can buy? Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

  • How can I put my music from my ipod touch on my new Laptop computer????

    I just purchased a laptop and I would like to put all my music from my ipod touch in to my new laptop. When I try to sync, I get a message that tells me all my music will be deleted! What can I do?

    You should move the music from your old computer to the new one then sync. The ipod touch is not a backup device.
    You should always have a backup. If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup (bad idea), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:
    Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    The ipod touch will sync with one computer at a time. When you sync to a different computer, it will erase the current content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer.
