My old computer crashed. Please help.
My old computer crashed, and I just installed itunes on the new computer. All of my music from my old computer is stored on my ipod, but when I try to sync on the new computer it tells me that I can only have one itunes library at a time. It appears to only give me the option to erase everything on my ipod and start with the new library, but I want to do that the other way around. Any suggestions?

My computer recently crashed and I lost all of my songs in itunes. I have my ipod still and it still has my songs..how can i transfer my songs onto my computer without my computer overriding the ipod?
thanks so muchOpen iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc. -

I have successfully deauthorised my old computer but a unable to authorise my new machine. I have followed the instructions but there is no option on the store menu to 'Authorise this computer'. Please help!
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -

Old computer crashed - songs on iPod only - - HELP!
My old computer crashed, luckily I had recently synched the iPod so I have all my sonds. Now is there a way for me to load them from the iPod to the new computer? Don't want to risk just plugging it in for fear that in syncing it will put the blank iTunes library the computer has in place of the iPod songs.....
I'm sure this is easy to fix, but can't figure it out on my own...thanks.My suggested fix: download a shareware called Podutil - it downloads quickly. It may have a couple of pop-up's asking for $15, but other than that it has been fantastic. There are others but I tried this one and it was easy to follow. Hopefully you won't have to use it more than once. (Maybe back up library to DVD's (1,000 songs per DVD) or other method of backing up your songs. Once downloaded - plug in iPod, double click PodUtil to open and you will see all of your songs and playlists as listed on your iPod. Check the boxes that you want to download and where you want them to be stored on your computer hard drive. If you want to test it --- just check a few songs, and see if it works for you. Hope that helps....

Old computer crashed - have iPhone 4, want to update to iOS5, but need help.
I'm hoping someone can help me. My old computer crashed, and had to get a new one. I lost my iTunes, and didn't have a back-up. The only place I have the data is on the phone itself. I had to re-install iTunes on my new computer, and I want to update to iOS5, but I'm worried I'll lose everything on my iPhone, as I don't have a back-up. How do I take the data (pictures, contacts, email, etc.) from my phone and put it on my computer, so I can update to iOS5, and have a back-up in case I lose it? I already transferred the purchases, so I have all of my apps on my new iTunes, but I don't want to lose any other data. I have Windows XP and an iPhone 4.
Thanks for any help or advice - I appreciate it!Copying from iPod to Computer threads...

My old computer crashed and I got a new laptop but none of my music that is still on my Ipod will show up in Itunes. I don't know how to get it to import. Whenever I select the Ipod folder through my computer to Import my data nothing shows up.
All my music is still on my Ipod but I need it to show up in Itunes and I only have 3 computers that are authorized so its not like I can deauthorize all the computers and start over.
I now have Windows 8 and I'm completely confused over this new version of Itunes. I was having the same problem trying to figure out to import my music on Itunes from the old version with Windows 8 as well.
HELP PLEASE!!!!!The following user tip is worth checking through:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device -
?

My old computer crashed and i just purchased a new laptop. How do i get my library on my new computer without erasing all the songs on my ipod?
If ALL your music is on the iPod and it's ALL iTunes purchased content, you log into iTunes with your account on th enew machine and reverse sycn the music back.
If the music is from cd's and other sources (not iTunes files) then ask over at iLounge what third party solution currently works. (can't recommond it here)
I have some HUGE instructions here how to get your music off the old comptuer too:
Recovery options:
A: If Windows isn't booting:
You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
or
burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
(If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
(Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice)
Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover. -

I lost my music when my old computer crashed and did itunes on my new computer and can get it back
i lost my music when my old computer crashed and when i got my new computer it erased all my music from itunes and my iphone 4... Please help!!!
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
