In need of help to get music off my ipod back onto new computer

the problem i have is before i had chance to set my ipod up 2 get it ready to transfer my music to another comp the comp went caput.i have disk use enabled but now i have a new comp i cant get my music onto it as i couldnt set it up before my other comp bust. is there any way of ever getting my music back onto this new comp off my ipod.im using all updated software and stuff someone help please.

Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2).
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

I bought music on my ipod touch. Why is it that I cannot put that music on my other ipod(s)?

Hello,
I bought music on my iPod touch. Why is it that I cannot put that music on my other Ipod(s)?
I downloaded my IPodTouch to my computer with no problems. I tried to drag the music I bought on my IpodTouch to other playlists on my computer and it did not let me. It refuses to let me even try to drag it to my computer music Library. It shows on my IPodTouch, but like I said, it will not let me drag it to my other Ipod(s) or even to my Music Library on my computer. Please help me.

Getting Music off of Ipod Touch

My computer crashed and the hard drive had to be replaced. I foolishly didn't have any of my music backed up. I have all my music and movies still on my Ipod Touch. Is there any way I can get my music off my Ipod, and onto a external drive, so that way I can reload it into ITunes??? I talked to Apple, but they really weren't any help. I'd appreciate any suggestions!

You can transfer itunes purchases:
Without syncing: File >Transfer Purchases

Possible to get songs OFF your Ipod and onto an external HDD or your PC?

I have songs on my Ipod that are NOT on my PC (thru having to manually manage my library in the past over 2 'smallish' HDDs in my PC).
When I open my Ipod from within Windows I 'see' the songs in the Music folder as .mpeg4 but no song titles so I can't differentiate between them. For example, a song is listed as CVFK.mpeg4, another as DPKQ.mpeg4 etc ...
When I open the Music folder on my Ipod from within i-TUNES I can see the songs I want, I can "highlight" them, right-click and 'COPY' them, but for the life of me I can't seem to 'PASTE' them anywhere...like IN MY LIBRARY which is on my new external USB HDD.
Why be able to "COPY" if you can't do anything with them? It seems you must be able to, but how? I WANT to copy them off my Ipod and put them into that new exteranl HDD that has 75% of my i-tunes library...the other 25% being my Springsteen collection that at the mo is ONLY on my i-Pod.
I am using a 30gb video ipod with latest software (1.2.1), iTunes 7.1.1.5 (latest) and a fully-updated MS Vista Home Premium.
ANY assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

The transfer of non iTunes Music Store content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Windows Vista so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described for instance but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated that will let you transfer individual tracks then there are a number of third party utilities that will do what you want. You can use these to retrieve individual music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, check for Vista compatibility as they may not all have been updated yet. Some of these are free and some are commercial but generally they are not very expensive. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

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).

My computer crashed and lost all of my music and all my cd's were stolen how do I transfer the music on my IPod back to my computer so that I can update my IPod?

My computer crashed with all my music on it. All of my cd's that I had uploaded onto my computer were stolen. The only way that I have all my music is on my IPod. However, I am afraid to update it because I don't want to loose all the music that I no longer have that is on it. How can I transfer from my IPod my music library onto my new computer without losing any of my music? I mean it has not been updated in over a year because I have some really good music that I don't want to loose. Please help me. I would like to add some really great music but can't for fear of crashing the music I have. Thank you in advance.

If so, then you can buy programs that will retrieve the music from the ipod (not supported by Apple).

How do you get music from your Itunes to your computer? im making a wedding video on windows movie maker but cant figure out how to get the bridal music off my ipod and onto my pc.

Im making a wedding video and cant figure out how to get the bridal music off my itunes and onto my computer.. Im using the windows movie maker

Marian,
Let's be clear on one thing here. The manual setting is an iPod setting, not an iTunes one. So, once you've set it to manual (and you appear to have done that correctly), then you can connect it to any number of computers without changing that setting.
"The grey thing occurs on one pc only"
This is the thing that I don't understand, if your iPod is set to manual, then it shouldn't happen on any computer. If you connect the iPod that is set to manual to this pc, and then click on it in the source listing, then you would be looking at the songs on the iPod, and they should not be greyed out. When you connect to the "other pc" under these same circumstances, they are not greyed out?

Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.

My itunes was deleted off of my computer. Is there any way I can get my music from my Ipod back onto my computer?

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!

Try # 2 and 3 in link below. If neither work, your screen digitizer might need to be replaced.
