My computer crashed and lost all of my music and all my cd's were stolen how do I transfer the music on my IPod back to my computer so that I can update my IPod?

My computer crashed with all my music on it. All of my cd's that I had uploaded onto my computer were stolen. The only way that I have all my music is on my IPod. However, I am afraid to update it because I don't want to loose all the music that I no longer have that is on it. How can I transfer from my IPod my music library onto my new computer without losing any of my music? I mean it has not been updated in over a year because I have some really good music that I don't want to loose. Please help me. I would like to add some really great music but can't for fear of crashing the music I have. Thank you in advance.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Have you failed to do this?
If so, then you can buy programs that will retrieve the music from the ipod (not supported by Apple).

It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
- Unsyncing all music and resysncing
- Restoring the iPod
BTW, yo posted in the iPod touch forum

How do I transfer the music from my iPod to my new IMac computer (95% of the music on it is from CD's I own)?

How do I transfer the music from my IPod to my new IMac computer? I just changed from a PC to IMac. 95% of the music on it is from CD's I own and the ITunes on the new IMac is only recongnizing the ones I bought off of ITunes.

That is correct. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I just bought an iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 has all my music on it, mail, mms, sms, notes, videos, photos and apps. How do I transfer the music etc to my new iPhone using icloud?

I just bought an iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 has all my music on it, mail, mms, sms, notes, videos, photos and apps. How do I transfer the music etc to my new iPhone? - icloud? - homesharing?

I just bought an iPhone5
To ensure my old iPhon4 was backed up i...
1. Deleted the iPhone4 backup from iTunes prefs(devices)
2. I then sycnched the iPhone4 to get a new backup of the old Phone.
I then installed my new iPhone5 from the fresh backup of the old iPhone4
This way i got my new iPhone5 exactly as my old iPhone4
Screens all looked the same, EVERYTHING the same.
Some minor adjustments were needed afterwards.
Hope this helps.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.

Recently i had to get a new computer. I was able to get itunes on the new computer and itunes did reconize my phone. BUT, it doesnt want to transfer the music from my phone to the computer? Can someone help, Please??

File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes will transfer items purchased from the iTunes store.
If you have items from other sources (ripped CD's, etc.) on the phone, you can't transfer those without purchasing 3rd party software.
Restore the backup of your old computer or just copy the data from the old computer to the new one.

How do I transfer the music from computer to ipod

Just got ipod and have NO idea how to transfer the music from itunes and lime wire to my ipod? There are no promps to explain? Lime Wire is shown in the itunes library. I feel so stupid? Please help!

It is always better to transfer the music via iTunes, once you have music files showing in the library of the iTunes, connect your iPod with your computer, and a window will pop up and ask you to register your iPod with the iTunes, then just follow the instruction.

Hello Taylor
You can transfer your purchases that you made from the iTunes Store by following the directions below in the first article. If you still have your previous computer, you can transfer the music by following the second article.
