HT4539 Is there a way to download all music from my ipod to my new computer?

I just got a new laptop and instead of putting the old music all on a flashdrive and doing it that way I want to just be able to plug in my ipod and get all the music from there onto my computer. Is there any way I can do this? Not all of my music was downloaded from itunes.

I missed the last sentence in your question!
Use your flash drive then.
iPods/iPhones etc do not work like flash drives for media transfer - they could if Apple wanted them to but Apple has relied on itunes to manage media for you - in this kind of instance it gets in the way.
There may be 3rd party apps to help you achieve what you want, but Apple don't officially support this.

The drive my iTunes music was on is totally dead, so I'm on a new computer. Is there a way to restore my music from my iPod to the new machine?

I had a total hard drive failure. I cannot retrieve my music stored on this drive, including a few iTunes purchases I had not backed up. Is there a way to push my music from my iPod to a new computer with iTunes? I hate the idea of re-ripping my CD's, not to mention losing some iTunes purchases.

David,
I would take a look at this old post by another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to recover the media from your iPod.

You can go to the pictures folder on your old computer and copy the "iPhoto library" file and copy it to a thumb drive or something like that and then just open it on your new Mac.

My computer that i had my itunes crashed and i wanted to know if there was a way to transfer my music from my ipod to a new computer without completely having to resync every cd. I already have the purchased music transfered.

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup cppy to put everything back.

Is there any way to transfer photos, music from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

Is there any way to transfer photos, music, from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync. How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer. The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.

One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

Hello cheech07,
The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.
