Itune contents lost in computer crash

I have recently lost my hard drive including all itunes files.
I have a new computer and have all my music on my iphone and ipod, but I cannot find out how to transfer any non-bought tracks from them to my new computer.
Can you help please??

iTunes will only transfer the purchases made on the iTunes Store from your iPhone to your computer. iTunes treats all other music syncing as a one-way street, so it complies with copyright laws.

Itunes wiped out following computer crash

my itunes library was wiped out following a computer crash(along with many other non-music files and folders)and unfortunately/foolishly I didn't back my files up
any suggestions as to how I can transfer music from my ipod into the blank itunes library?
cheers,

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. 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, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

I just moved my Itunes content to a computer with Win 7. I can only get "songs" in list view. How do I correct this so I can see Artist and Genre also in list view. The box to show all list in list view is checked but it only shows album view

I just moved all my itunes content to a windows 7 computer. I can only get "songs" in list view. Genre and Artist show as Album views. The box in preferences is checked so that all lists should show as list. How can I get a list view for Artists and Genre also?

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

Photoshop Elements 7 lost in computer crash. How do I redownload?

Could you please help me to find the way to re-download Photoshop Elements 7? My computer crashed and I lost all of my programs on Vista.
Now I have Windows 7 and I would love to put the Elements 7 on and get started again.

Did you purchase it as a download from the Adobe store? If so, you may be able to get it by logging in to your store account, but downloads are only available for three years, I think. If it was a version on disc and you can't find the disc, unfortunately for PSE 7 the serial number for a boxed version won't work with a download version, so you'll need to get hold of another PSE 7 disc from someplace.

ITunes updates make my computer crash every time I start it up

Can anyone help me everytime up try to upgrade my version of iTunes my computer crashes afterwards when I next start it up. THe only way I can find around this is to roll back the computer to previous settings. Any ideas?

DO you mean that the whole computer crashes - i.e. a blue screen stop?
If so you need to see the error message to work out what the problem is.
If you are getting a blue screen stop, it would help if you could post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
For example:
Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
Also is a file name mentioned in the error message? If so give the exact file name. If there is a file mentioned, it can be very helpful for diagnosis.
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
Usually blue screens are due to low level programs like drivers, or hardware issues.
You might also check in you event view to see if there are any helpful error messages there. This can be accessed via Administrative tools on the Control Panel.

Itunes is making my computer crash.

After installing itunes my computer crashes, freezes and the graphics plays up. When I uninstall itunes the computer works fine and then after reinstalling itunes and the same problems occur again. Anyone have a clue as to what may be happening?

What computer are you using? This could be important because some makes come with preinstalled software that can conflict with iTunes.
Does Windows crash with either a blue screen stop or automatic restart, or does Windows keep running but freezes/behaves abnormally?
Does the problem occur when iTunes is installed whether or not iTunes is running, or only if you start iTunes.
Does Quicktime work normally?
One thing that occurs to me immediately is some kind of conflict with other software on your PC. You can use MSconfig to investigate this:

Can't sync iPod after transfering iTunes content to new computer.

After following these instructions very carefully http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329 to use my iPod to transfer my iTunes content to a new computer, I cannot sync the iPod to the new computer's iTunes. I see all my music in the iTunes Library, and have authorized my new iTunes, but the music won't sync. When I hit sync, it says it's syncing, then a few seconds later says finished syncing, but nothing is on my iPod. Can anyone help?

Did you review if the sync settings you had established for your iPod carried over? You might have to re-select what you want ynced.
Just a thought, if you are not getting any error messages.

Best way to restore iTunes contents on new computer.

The computer gods conspired to get me. My Windows XP desktop failed beyond repair and I am getting a new Windows 7 desktop. But also by some coincidence, my new external hard drive that I backup my system on weekly also failed. I still have my previous external hard drive, however. The last backup from that was the beginning of June.
So I am looking for the best way to get whole again. I have NO downloaded music on the iPod (some music from CDs that I can reload). I do have a number of apps however, some with a lot of data that would be difficult to replace (although updating from June would be doable).
If after installing iTunes on the new computer,I just synced to the iPod what would I lose? Would it keep the apps data on the iPod?
Or should I install iTunes, copy my backup from my External drive to the new computer and restore from the backup?
Thanks
