My computer crashed. How can I transfer my ipod touch back to my computer?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very reason. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes ourchases: File>Transfer Purchases.

How can I transfer my iPod touch files directly to iTunes library?

I wanted to upgrade my iPod because it is still version 4.1 . Every time I try to download apps from the App Store, most of them are only available for newer versions that's why I wanted to upgrade it. Please help me! Thanks in advance.

Follow these insructions. WHn it says to restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
Note:
A 2G can only to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
Identifying iPod models
CAUTION, if you have a 2G iPod
Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to your iTunes library. See:

In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

My computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to the new computer?

my computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to my new computer?

I sympathize with roaminggnome - How is this so? I will tell you how this is so.....
2 Macbooks and an Ipad were stolen from my house. When i was out of the house, I had my phone with me.
I always backed everything/synced to my computer AND to icloud.
Now we have a new computer and Ipad and you are telling me I would need to email my 1,600 pictures from my iphone photo albums to myself and reload them to my new computer?
You have got to be kidding me? I also do not understand how I saved all of my albums to my ipad & on the computer and synced to BOTH the computer AND icloud, but those albums are lost, because they were not on my camera roll?
1. I need another solution to getting my photos from my iphone to my imac.
2. How do i recover those albums that were saved to icloud, but I can only "see" the camera roll on icloud.
I know they are there somewhere - here is why:
When I first got my (new) Ipad and had downloaded (what i thought was everything) from icloud, I opened up my photos to show someone a picture that night and low and behold the names of several of my albums were in the photo app, but the pictures were all jumbled up. Almost like it was trying to search and organize, but it just wasn't done...... Example - dog album had pictures of leaves or people, not the dog.
The next day I opened the Ipad & went to photos, no albums, just photo stream, camera roll. Only the pictures that had been taken when we first got the (old) Ipad.
Can anyone provide assistance??
thanks!

The easiest way is to simply restore your music from your backup drive.

How do i transfer my ipod from a computer that has crashed to a new one?

how do I transfer my ipod data from one computer to another

You just need to home share between both computers. Then select all the songs and click import on to the new computer. If you have a playlist, then you will need to either recreate the playlist on to the new computer or you can copy the itunes library.itl, the .itl file might have a different name but that is the file that has all of your library playlists. I am not sure if this will fix your problem but that is what I did and it worked for me hope that helps.

Computer crashed, how can I transfer music & pics back to Itunes?

Is there a way to transfer my non-purchases from my Ipod Touch back to my Itunes? My computer caught a virus and I had to reformatt the disk and of course like a fool didn't have anything backed up. I have been able to transfer my purchases, but what about non-purchases like my pics and other downloaded music? Will I be able to sync and add new purchases my pod again without losing the exsisting library? Please help!

if you still have your crashed computer get one of your techie friends to make your old hard drive into an external hard drive- they can get a sleeve for it from new egg or a supplier like that- you hook it up to your new computer, via USB connections, transfer the itunes folder to the new itunes folder in your new computer then import that folder into the itunes library on the internet site...........go to file then import folder and find your folder- mine was itunes music-
good luck, i'd hate to have to copy all those songs into a new computer-

How do I transfer my iPod content to a new computer?

The link that brought you here tells you how, as far as Apple has designed it.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
- Expod (free) - http://www.headlightsoft.com/expod/ - Mac, universal for 104.+ (newer machines try de-Tune)

Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

One of the best programs for copying music from your ipod to your computer. And the best part is it works with pc, mac, and linux.
Just remember to enable your ipod as an external hardrive.
