My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library. How can I restore it from my iPod?

My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library. How can I transfer my music from my ipod back to my computer? (I did not back up my entire itunes library.)

Ipod syncing is not one way. You just have to know what to do...
I can see you use windows. Connect ipod to pc, but don't install or dont open itunes - dont alow itunes to sync automaticly). Then open explorer, enable hidden files, open your ipod (as you would any disc) open hidden file with strange names and copy all of them on your new hard drive. Then drag all this strange-named files in your itunes...woooo...now those strange names become your songs...it is magick
I you won't i can send you step by step guide...
Take care.

  • My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library, On my new computer I downloaded iTunes and some of my songs were there. Although I lost my movies that I had purchases on iTunes, which of course cost quite a lot. How can I go about getting these back?

  • My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library so now how do I transfer music from my old iPod to my new one

    A little while ago my computer crashed and I lost everything, including my iTunes library except for on my iPod Shuffle. I just got a new iPod Nano for Christmas and I need to transfer the music from my old one to my new one but I can't figure out how to do this because my iTunes does not have the music that my old one does.

  • How do i download previous purchases to my new computer. my old computer crashed and i lost my itunes library

    how do i download previous purchases to my new computer. my old computer

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U.S. you can use the cloud:

  • My old computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and new music.  I downloaded iTunes again and found my old account info.  How do I add a new CD without deleting all of my music on my iPod?

    My old Computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and tunes.  iTunes says I must delete everything off my iPod in order to add a new CD.  It also said I already have an account which I was able to locate.  I don't know how to get into my old account.  I think that would solve everything.  I have Windows XP.  I'd appreciate any input.

    No.
    All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
    When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
    The same applies here.

    If your music is all purchased from iTunes, you can log back in with the same Apple ID, authorize the computer and get your past purchases back. If not, then see this document put together by another user. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

  • Computer crashed and no back up. iTunes library is on my iPod Touch. How do I transfer my

    My computer crashed and my iTunes library is only on my iPod Touch. How do I restore my library to my new computer?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like those discussed here:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    - Try to make a backup of the iPod by connect the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPid undered Devices in iTunes and select backup.
    - Then restore the iPod from backup. If no backup then you have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Computer crashed and I lost my Itunes purchases

    Is there a way to get my lost Itunes purchases back, I don't have an Ipod so I can't do it that way. I tried finding it through the Apple help but was unsuccessful.

    If you didn't make a back-up of your music/movie purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Products may only be downloaded once; after being downloaded, they cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. Once a Product is purchased or rented (as applicable) and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage" iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support
