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.

  • 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?

  • How do I transfer music from my old iPod classic to my new computer with a blank iTunes library?

    I have over 700 songs on my iPod classic, a movie, and a few shows.
    My old computer, which is totally fried, has my whole library.
    My new computer has a blank library.
    I want to transfer everything from my iPod classic, or even better, my iTunes library, to my new computers iTunes library.
    How do I go about doing this both manually and with some sort of automatic application assistence (i.e., something I can download to do this for me)?
    Thank you so much.

  • 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:

    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
