I have songs and videos on my Video iPod...

...but I lost the ones that were on my computer. Is there a way to restore my files to my computer from my iPod?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am not sure about videos. It may be similar to the following (about songs), but I personally don't have experience with that.
You can't directly sync or drag music from your iPod to iTunes library. Your computer does have abilities to copy songs from your iPod to your computer, however.
If your iTunes is set for "Automatic" in "Preferences -> iPod" (the default setting), connecting your iPod to iTunes now would automatically delete all the content off your iPod. This action cannot be reversed.
Instead, follow these steps to prevent auto-syncing from happening:
1 - Open iTunes, and leave it up and running.
2 - Get ready to watch your iPod, and connect it.
3 - As soon as your iPod displays "Do Not Disconnect", immediately begin to press and hold the "Shift" and "Ctrl" buttons together for about 20-30 seconds. Let off after that half-minute, being sure that iTunes isn't doing anything to your iPod.
I'm not sure that this will necessarily prevent auto-syncing from happening to your iPod's videos, though it should work for your iPod's songs.
So try this (WITHOUT your iPod connected): go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". It will show "No iPod Connected". Leave that iPod Preferences window up and running, as I believe this will prevent iTunes from recognizing your iPod as a connection.
(This is briefly mentioned in the "MacMuse" link below, as well).
Now, onto the transferring. There are a couple of ways to copy the songs over to your computer.
You can try the method of manually copying songs from your iPod to your computer by accessing your iPod's hard drive.
See this link for the details:
MacMuse - Transferring iPod songs to iTunes
If you would like a third-party program to do this for you in a more automatic way, here's a sampling of some programs that you can install for this iPod-to-computer transfer.

Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

Yes. See this article from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to copy content from your iPod over to your computer and into iTunes. Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and sync the content over to your iPhone.

TS1363 have ticked to only synch ticked songs and videos but it keeps ignoring that and synching everything and my capacity is full. Please help !

Have ticked " Sync only ticked songs and videos" but I Tunes is ignoring that and synching evrything leaving me no further capacity. Please help

Two points to consider:
You have to remember that when you see the option to Sync only ticked songs and videos, iTunes may already have gone past that part of the Sync process. So once you change the setting to Sync only ticked songs and videos, you may need to click on the Sync button in order for a second Sync to take place. On subsequent Syncs, you will not need to do this.
You have actually un-ticked some of the songs in your library, haven't you?

I have two Apple ID's. How do I move all the songs and videos that I bought using Apple ID "A" over to Apple ID "B". I plan to use Apple ID "B" from here on out. Thanks

You can't do this yourself; if desired, you can ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it, but they probably won't.

Plug your iPod into your computer and resync your songs back on.

IPod touch suddenly fast forwarding through songs and videos + voice control screen cutting in

Hi
In the last couple of days, it has started fast forwarding through songs and videos randomly. The voice control screen is also cutting in randomly. It happens as soon as I turn it on and play my first track or video. The only other problem I have noticed is that the volume controls on my headphones are no longer working. The headphones would be less than 6 months old and are genuine Apple ones. I don't think the problem is related because if I unplug them the fast forwarding still happens. I've tried powering it off and then re-starting it and I have been keeping the software up to date on it so I'm not sure what else I can try.
In saying that, this morning it seems to be working properly but I'm worried the problem will return. I still can't adjust the volume via the headphones though.
If anyone has any ideas about what I can do to resolve the fast forwarding problem, I would appreciate the feedback. The headphones I don't really care about because I can replace them.
I've had my iPod touch for a few years and use it pretty heavily so part of me is wondering whether it is just getting to the end of its life. I'm not sure what sort of lifespan I can expect from my iPod touch.
Thanks

Try:
- Try a regular pair of headphones
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Getting songs and videos back I've already purchased

I have the 2nd generation iPod touch. I just upgraded my old software 3.1.1 to the new 4.1 software. It took about 5 hours to back up my iPod do all this other stuff. Apparently it restored it to factory settings so I lost all my videos and songs. I can get most or my songs and videos back but, what if I bought them with my iPod and didn't transfer the purchases to my computer? Where can I go to recover those? Because that's a lot of money I spent. Please help me and give me any suggestions that could maybe help me. I'm really stuck right now.

so i updated my ipod and it took 3 hrs and this morning i see it didnt save any of my songs i recently purchased and songs i had for years. wat can i do to get them all back?

All my songs and videos gone after app transfer to my laptop (iOS 5.0)

All my songs (about 1800 songs/12GB) and videos (10gb) have disappeared while two of my apps, Asphalt 6 and Real Racing 2 were being transferred from my iPod to my laptop. I guess they were being transferred since they have been updated and I haven't synced my ipod into my laptop for a while. But today while it was trasferring, it said that I'm running out of storage continuously and later on I saw that the transfer was done, but my songs and videos were gone! And my last backup was like when the iOS first came out, so it would mean nothing to restore from backup right now.
I can see all of the songs and videos that were on the iPod still on iTunes, but when i click on them, it shows the exclamation mark which means that they have been disappeared or something... Any help please?

The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes or files of any kind you've added to the iPod whilst using it as a hard disk or album artwork. Or sometimes when the iPod data base has become corrupt.
There will always be a few MBs of used space under "other" but if it's in GBs it's unusually large. This often happens when the iPod data base becomes corrupt.
If the iPod is enabled for disk use, you can look at the folders on the iPod through Explorer or Finder (on a Mac) and delete anything you don't want.
If it's a corruption of the iPod database (as seems likely here) it will probably need to be restored, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.
Then reload the music from iTunes.

Why do some songs and videos stop playing or freeze while playing?

I have an 80 gig iPod classic that I never had problems with until now. I started noticing songs and videos I bought from iTunes aren't working. They will play for 30 seconds, stop, and go to the next song. I called iTunes, and they told me to use the online support but it hasn't helped me. Every time I go on there, it just tells me to call again. I've also tried to restore my iPod and it didn't work, so I'm wondering if anyone else has found and alternate way to fix it.

I have a similar problem. My IPod 5 and 3Gen will stop playing songs about halfway through. The timer indicates its playing but no music. When I've checked these songs on in ITunes they pay fine and completely. I've tried removing them from ITunes and downloading again but with no success. This seems to be random and as I have over 2K worth of songs its difficult for me to determin where the problem is. One of the reasons I purchased the IPod 5 was hopes to eliminate this problem. Any ideas on what other things I can do to solve this problem?

My songs and videos are not playing.

Hello,
My songs and videos are not playing in the iPod. If i play music on online in iPod, it works. So, please reply me as soon as possible.
Thank You,
Krishna Patel

I have had similar problems in the past, but not with so many songs... If you got them on the iTunes store, and there aren't so many, just re-download them, this happens to be sometimes. I'm guessing that there was some error during the download. sorry.

Songs and video gone from 5G iPod, games and photos remain

I hook my iPod up to two computers regularly, at home and at work. Because of this, I don't do any auto-synching. Last night, I disconnected my iPod from my home computer without trouble. When I connected it to my iMac at work, however, the songs and videos disappeared. iTunes asked me to name and synch up the iPod, which it never has before.
The songs are still there, apparently, as the capacity indicator shows 8.3GB of "Other" space being used along with the 31.6MB of Photos that I can actually see. There is no indication of Game space used, although I do have one game on there that I can play.
Resetting the iPod doesn't work. I don't want to try a restore, because I'd rather not have to upload all the content from my home computer to the iPod again, losing all of my Star and Audio Level settings, which I only control on the iPod. Anyone know how I can convince the iPod that Other is actually Music and Videos?

Sounds like the directory holding the music has been erased. Odd that it still had some photos. An undelete/unformat software might be able to rebuild most of your files from "free" sections of the disc that haven't yet had anything new written into them. If you can recover the files to the point that they are taking up space on the iPod's drive (or they can be copied to another drive) there are other posts that help with rebuilding them into a library.
There probably are some suitable free tools out there if you can wade through all the "free" recovery tools that are only free up until the point of any actual recovery.... Otherwise shell out a little cash or wait until you can be reunited with your backup.

HT201304 I brought a $15 iTunes card, on 12-1-13 in the afternoon hours. I brought some songs and video's. I did not get 2 of the video's I brought, I was charged the $2.58. How do I get my video's.

I brought a $15.00 iTunes card on 12-1-13, I brought songs and videos. iTunes did not give me two of the videos, I brought. The $2.58 was taken off the card. The video's were (willow smith)-whip my hair and (soulja boy)-crank dat.
I just want the 2 video's I brought, thank you.

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

HT204053 sir; i can't import song and videos from pc to my iphone pls help me

sir; i can't import song and videos from pc to my iphone pls help me

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - if you would like help then you will need to provide more information than 'can't import' e.g. how are trying to sync content and what happens when you do it ?
You have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, and your phone appears in it when it's connected to your computer ? If not then see if this troubleshooting page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
You should be able to sync music and films/TV programmes by selecting your phone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC) and then using the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your content
Is that how you are trying to do it and it's not working ?
If you haven't synced your phone to that computer before then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
