Try importing them from the Nano to your computer. Here is a way that might work (if you can see files on your Ipod)
1) If Itunes is already installed disk use may need to enabled so you can see the Ipod in my computer. Itunes hides your ipod from windows otherwise.
2) Make sure you can view hidden files. In MY computer go to tools>folder options>view>show hidden files and folders.
3) Windows should see the ipod and your music should be on your ipod in several hidden folders. To be safe I would copy it all to say your desktop.
4) Install Itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and the Ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ (if you don't already have it installed)
After that drag the copied folder to Itunes (drag and drop or in Itunes (File>add folder to library)
You may need to authorise your new computer by playing it in the library first.

New computer, ipod doesnt like him...

Hi everyone,
Im Timo and i have my ipod touch for a while now (2nd gen) and ever since i bought a new computer my ipod is not recognized by neither windows (7) or Itunes...
I have tried many things but nothing seems to work, there is a little hope because when i connect it to my dads computer it is instantly recognized by itunes and windows (xp).
When i connect it to my computer it doesnt charge, it does when connected to my dads computer... please help,
Timo
(Sorry for my bad english, im dutch :P)

Unfortunately it doesn't work thanks for your effort,
Drat.
If Christine's suggestion doesn't help (it's certainly worth following up), I'd like to check the details of your motherboard a bit more closely, Timo.
Try downloading and installing a copy of Belarc Advisor:

Run an audit of the PC with belarc Advisor. Under "Main Circuit Board" what do you see next to "Board:"?
For example, on my Lenovo I see:

If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

Install disk drive from old computer in an external enclosure.
Then copy the complete iTunes library from the disk drive to the disk drive in the new computer.

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

I would like to add music from my Ipod shuffle to my new computer but my old computer is broken and cannot access it anymore

I would like to sync my ipod shuffle to my new laptop, however I do not have access to my old computer so I do not have access to the old itunes library. My ipod is charged music on it and I have it plugged into the usb cord which is plugged into my computer's usb port. I downloaded the latest version of itunes but do I have to register first? can anyone help me?

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download previous purchases from the iTunes Store Purchased screen).
However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can be used to transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do a search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer's hard drive, drag them (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window, to add them to the iTunes library.

thanks for the reply. guess i'll have to do that. apple, not really happy with what you've done with this latest update. have not been able to enjoy my music in my car since the update. most of us dont mind changes that progress timely, but this was much more than just a progression. this was a complete change. and not a good one, at all. thanks to the two people that replied. appreciate it.

Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone.

Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
Good luck.

my 5th generation ipod acts like it is going to sync and then "ejects" itself before even 1 song can be synced. It then doesnt recognize that it has been ejected and keeps the"do not disconnect" icon on the screen even after unplugging. What do I do? it also makes a lot of noise while connected to the computer.

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

When is the ipod touch going to have a radio built into it, like the new ipod nano

I was wondering when the ipod touch will come out and have radio inbuilt into it like the new ipod nano. I used to have an ipod touch, lost it and got the nano and one of the best things about the nano was the FM radio! So I decided that I wouldn't buy an ipod touch until it had a radio because I listen to the radio more than my music... So I wanted to know how lond I would have to wait.

You are not addressing Apple in this forum. We are only users like you and hve no idea since Apple has not made any announcement. To make a suggestion to Apple go her:

Okay so my Ipod Touch is connected to my computer which has charged my ipod before. Now when i plug it in, my ipod doesnt charge unless i move the charger around. Should I get a new charger, or what?

I could be the cable or it could be that the connecor in the iPod is damaged. If the iPod is the problem replacing the cable will not help. Look at the dock connector on the iPod and the contacts on the cable.

I want to sync my iPod Touch to my new computer. I've added a lot of music to my computer iTunes and don't know if I will lose the music on my computer or my iPod when I sync? I would like to keep it all from both.
