ITunes library was erased and how do I move my iPod library back to iTunes

I had a problem with my computer and my entire iTunes library ended up being erased along with other files. Though I have all of the music on my iPod still and I want to transfer it back to my iTunes library. Is this at all possible since I did not backup my songs in any way before the library was erased? I really dont want to import all of my cd's again since it close to 10,000 songs so any info would help. I was able to get my iPod to show the songs when plugged into iTunes but it wont let me import the songs or playlist other than just playing them. I cant even burn a cd using my iPod files. What can I do to make get my songs back please help?

You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music 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 but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Let us know if this method does not work.

My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
Not true at all.
It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

My MacBook Pro was erased and back up on external drive was reloaded. How do I reload my address book and bookmarks?

When my MacBook Pro was erased and reloaded, my address book, stickies and bookmarks on all my browsers were gone! How can I re-load the old contents. I've looked at all the back-ups. I find the applications, but not the contents.

You had two choices:
1- you save the files from your user library
2- use icloud which would put them back
You used neither is seems.

If I got a new Mac book pro soon, would it helps backuping everything?

awesome121, he does not an an iCloud account. You need iOS 5 or later for iCloud and the poster said he has iOS 4.

Hard drive was erased and was wondering if I will be billed for hitting download on my purchased section of iTunes

My hard drive was erased and i lost all of my itunes. But then when I got on there was a new section called purchased on the Itunes site that said I was able to download all the songs I had purchased...am I going to get billed again for these?

No.
This is the newly released icloud, beta version.
You should still always have a backup copy of your computer.

HT4314 My iPad was erased and all I cannot connect back to Game Center, it says that my Apple ID has not been used in Game Center. Can I recover my Game Center sessions just by my nickname?

My iPad was erased and when I try to connect back to game center it tells me that it has not been used in Game Center before when I used to have a Game Center nickname and played a lot. Looks like somehow my Apple ID and my Game Center Nickname have been disconnect.
Is there a way to find out what Apple ID is associated to a Game Center Nickname??

Mine did the exact same thing last week.
I did the software update and then the restore and it only restored photos, emails, and iPad settings. It did not restore apps and now my apple ID is no longer associated with my game center ID and I can't figure out how to reconnect them. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

iTunes 11: How do I get the iPod button back once I go back to my music? Do I need to unplug and replug my iPod back in?

Nastyassink-
Apple's Camera Connection Kit includes both an SD adapter and a USB adapter. You can use an SD card or an adapted Mini SD card with the SD adapter. You can use a USB thumb drive with the USB adapter, as well as a USB adapter for other cards such as Compact Flash. (Some card adapters draw too much current and require a powered USB hub to work.)
It is required that the camera card or thumb drive be formatted as MS-DOS FAT, just as if it had been formatted in a camera. Photos and videos must be in a folder named DCIM, and have names consisting of 8 characters plus suffix, just as they would have been named in a camera.
Some video formats are not compatible with the iPad video player and must be converted on your computer. (The iPad can read M4V, MP4 and some MOV files.)

How do i move my ipod library to a different computer?

I Recieved a laptop for christmas and i wish to move my ipod library to this computer. can somebody please help me?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can follow the instructions here...
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Or use something like YamiPod to move music directly from iPod to computer.
If most of your music is purchased (or all of it), you can use iTunes to transfer that purchased music to your new computer (iTunes will ask you).
Don't let iTunes erase what is on your iPod until all of the music in your iTunes library works (and test it without your iPod connected).

Can you please be more specific? What version of iTunes are you running? Is the iPod recognized by the computer? Do any error messages pop up? What is showing on the iPod's screen? Will iTunes simply not automatically update the iPod and put on the music?
Any information may help us help you.
