Ibook crashed, bought new Dell PC, how can I get my music off my ipod?

My ibook recently crashed and I bought a new Dell PC with Windows Vista installed. When I plug my ipod in, a message comes up saying that I need to reformat my ipod for Windows but by doing this, all of my songs and videos will be deleted.
Any suggestions? Ideally, I want to reformat my ipod for Windows without losing any songs or videos.

Unfortunately your new Windows PC cannot natively read the contents of your Mac formatted iPod.
This is because Windows cannot read the HFS+ file system that a Mac uses.
If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.
XPlay2 will also allow the transfer of music from iPod to computer.
Once you've done that, you can reformat the iPod by restoring it on your PC.

I have a new laptop. How do I get my music off my ipod touch into itunes? It wants to sync and destroy months of work. Thanks

I have a new laptop. My iPod touch was synced to itunes on my old laptop. Now that I have my new laptop I can't get the music from my Ipod into the new itunes. So, when it wants to sync it wants to delete all of my songs and replace them with what is in itunes now. How do I get my months of work collating music onto my new laptop so I can add more?
Thanks

I have a new computer..how can I get my music from my Ipod to my new computer?

I am trying to download Tunes64Setup.exe but my computer is not allowing at the moment and it is taking a very long time. I want to know how I get my music off of my Ipod shuffle onto my new computer?

The music sync is one way - computer tp ipod. the exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

The music sync is how you got the music from the computer to the ipod in the first place.
You cannot sync it from the ipod to the computer as I explained in the previous post, unless it is itunes purchased music.

You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
When you get it all working, make a backup!

I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
Pasted from another thread
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
One of the most recommended is 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 and iDump andiPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Mac-format to PC-format: How can I get my music off an external hard drive?

I had a mac-formatted iPod for years, and all of my music is on an external hard drive that is hooked up to that computer. When I got a new iPod after mine was stolen, I had to get a PC-formatted iPod. How can I get my music off of the hard drive and onto my PC (and eventually my iPod)? I tried uploading the files into my iTunes account on the Mac, but they don't show up in my account on the PC. Most of the music are CDs that I copied onto my computer years ago, and had on my old iPod. Help!

Your Firefox profile would have the data. You can find it at:
*C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
**The file you want is called ''places.sqlite''
You can copy that file if you want to restore your bookmarks to your current Firefox by going back to ''C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>'' and overwriting the current file. Keep in mind, doing this will erase your current bookmarks.

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

My iPod touch is telling me I need to restore to factory settings. How can I get my music off of it before this happens?

My IPod it telling me to restore factory settings. I know this will cause me to lose all of the music on it so far. How can I get the music off of it before I restore the settings? I really do not want to lose thousands of songs.

What is telling you that and what is the wording?
Can you make a backup via iTunes:
iOS: How to back up
Can you transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
If not then there is nothing you can do except restore the iPod and thus erase the iPod.

Click on transfer purchases only works for purchased apps and music, but NOT the music rip from CDs or other sources.
For transferring music other than those purchased from iTunes, refer to the following:
