My computer crashed and I want to restore my music from my ipod to my itunes..help????

My computer crashed and I lost my music library in ITunes...I have my music on my ipod and would like to get my Itunes libary in sync with my ipod...can someone help me figure out how to do this??? I had imported a lot of music from CDs and I hate to have to do it again to get my Itunes library up to date with my ipod - I was able to update the music I purchased from the Itunes store, but not the other music.  thanks!

  • HT1329 My old computer crashed, and I have most of my music on my ipod, how  do i move it to my new computer.

    My old computer crashed, and I have most of my music on my ipod, that has been purchased, and downloaded music from my CD's. I also have music in my old Library on ITunes. How do I recover all of them, and transfer my music on my IPod, to my new Library.

    Lucky for you, I just found out how to get the music stored on your iPod by messing around with it. I'm not much of an Apple user (I only have a shuffle), so I'm not 100% sure it would work the same way as yours.. but it's worth a shot.
    if your iTunes didn't sync with your iPod yet,... that would be great..
    1, Make sure your iTunes does not automatically sync with your iPod (I don't know if this would help..)
    2, Click on your iPod and go to settings, check "Enabe Disk Use"
    Your iPod should now have a partition on My Computer called AFJCHAW's IPOD or whatever you named your iPod... If you go to that disk, you'll notice there's nothing in there.
    3, Click on Organize at the top right part of Windows Explorer(Windows 7, don't know how in XP..), go th the Folder and search options, view tab, and click on show hidden files, folders, and drives.
    If you go back to your disk, you should be able to find a folder
    4, It'll be pretty straightforward then. Go to iPod_Control/Music. You'll find folders there. Inside the folders are each of your music files (they're renamed but the Details would still be about the same).
    If you did get your music files back from this procedure, then, yay! it worked!!
    If you didn't,.... it should've worked..

  • Computer crashed...can I download my music from my ipod to my computer?

    my computer crashed and all the music I had was erased but my ipod still has it. Is there a way I can download it from my ipod to the computer?

    Hello la chefesse,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • My old PC crashed and I want to sync the music on my IPOD to my new laptop

    How do I get it done?

    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
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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 have got a new pc, and I want to upload the music from my ipod 4g to the pc and its not working :(

    I have just bought a new computer as my old pc has broken. So I want to upload all the data from my ipod touch 4g to my new pc. I try and do this by clicking sync and nothing happens.

    It would actually be easier to use the backup files from your old PC. You were backing it up to an external drive?

  • I have had my ipod for about 3 years and do not have the computer my music was saved on, now its only on my ipod. I got a new computer, is there any way to transfer my music from my ipod to my itunes?

    see question

    So what would happen if you lost your iPod or it was stolen?  Answer, all your music would be gone.
    The iPod is not a storage device.
    Do you have a backup of your media from your old computer?  If so, copy all your media from that backup to your new computer.
    Otherwise, try searching the forums for an answer to your question.  This EXACT same question is asked and answered many times every day.

    hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program to copy them back from your iPad - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there.  Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
