HT4946 How do I get what is on my devices back onto the computer?

My Ipod, Ipad 2 each are working fine but my computer died and new OS installed, the computer is now blank, I downloaded Itunes onto the computer. How do I get what is on my devices back onto the computer?
Thanks,
Craig

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Take note that sharepod does not support iPad at the moment.

My bookmarks were synced to my android device. Then my computer was reformatted. How do I get my bookmarks from my device back onto my computer?

Both the device and the reformatted computer are linked to my sync account, but while the device has all my bookmarks, the computer is empty. I synced and re-synced and did the whole backup-restore thing, but nothing. I don't want to do something that will wipe out the bookmarks on the android device, too, but I can't find any instructions that help me with this.

Can you Re-install iTunes, I think some plug-ins has affected the iTunes functionality. You might have to do a thorough removal of iTunes, if you are using Windows.

Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If it's a Mac, try Senuti or Music Rescue.

How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Is there any way to get photos off of my ipod back onto my computer?

I accidentally deleted all of my pictures from my computer. I have itunes set not to sync the photos from my computer to my ipod. So that means that the photos are still on my ipod.
Is there anyway I can get these back on to my computer.

I didn't delete them from my computer. I put them on a dvd and I had it sitting on my desk. I wrote "my pictures" on it and set it down on my desk. I had another dvd that had the same thing on thing written on it. I thought I picked up the one that i thought was the old one, but it wasn't. So i have the dvd that has all of my old pictures on it, but i lost all of my more recent ones. I didn't feel like putting that on the post so I just put that I deleted them from my computer.
Do you know of anyway of getting them off of my ipod back onto my computer. Maybe taking it to an apple store or something?

Dear apple, can you please tell me how to put my 'x' key back onto the computer properly without giving me an answer which will make me want to buy a pc like 'we WILL only replace the entire keyboard'?

My profile does say level 1 (0 points) quite obviously pointing out i am a noob at this, although i did try to correct myself in the previous responce to **macbook.
I am confused why you think i havn't answerd michaels question though. 'I assure you the keyboard or the joining parts aren't broken and if it isn't broken i dont feel the need to replace it. '- that was me in the first responce explaining why im not buying a new one, answering the very question he asked.

How do I get my music off the iPod back onto my computer after a crash....?
Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
There has to be a way.
There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
It's an audio player... not a backup device.
If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy.

I wiped my computer and reinstalled firefox on it, my tablet still has all my bookmarks on it, am i able to sync my tablet to my computer and get all my information back onto the computer? everytime i try it says it can not connect to device???????

Can anyone help me?

Hi!
You should be fine. How are you, exactly, trying to pair both devices?
If the pairing code (3 lines with 4 characters each) doesn't work for any reason (you should get the code from the computer and add it to your tablet) you can get the Recovery key from your tablet and use it to connect the computer to that account.
In order to get the Recovery Key, you need this add-on in your mobile device: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/aboutsynckey/
Once you get the recovery key, follow the steps described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync#w_connect-another-computer
I hope it helps.
