This user tip should be helpful too. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…

My old windows computer died, how do I get my music off of my iphone to my new computer

The hard drive in my old computer is totally fried, and my iphone is the only place my music is backed up. Is there a way to get my music from my iphone to my new computer?

Here is a great program I used to use called TouchCopy,
not only does it copy music, it copies videos, messages, books so on and so forth,
It does cost but if you just need it this one time to put your music back you can download the trial version for Windows! Here is the link:

my laptop died, how do I get my itunes off of it?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?
If so, you can try removing the drive from your computer and putting it in an enclosure to see if it is still good and can be used.

An external bay is something like this: External 2.5 SATA to USB Hard Drive Caddy Case
A small Philips driver is usually all you need to access the hard drive in the leptop. You (or a technically adept friend) remove the drive from the old laptop, put it in the bay, hook it up to your new computer and read what can be recovered from it. Your iTunes library would typically be in X:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes where X: is the letter assigned to the drive.
There's a chance the drive won't work at all, but often it will work for reading data even when you can no longer get it to run your operating system. Seems like a small investment to potentially recover all your lost data, not just iTunes.
If the drive won't work, then the link I posted earlier explains how you can recover all the media and data from your existing device into a new iTunes library. Once you dont this you can restore the backup of the old device to the new one.

How do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

This is probs the oldest question out there, but how do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

You should have a backup but if not you will need to transfer the contents before you sync or it will be erased.

For other music you will require a 3rd party program

How can I get my music off my nano and into my itunes library?

We did an erase/install on our imac and forgot to back up the itunes library. Thankfully my music is on my ipod, but how do I get it back into my library?

You can try some 3rd party utilities like those above. Your mileage may vary.
Officially, there is no way to get music off your iPod and onto your computer. Sync is 1 way only.

How do I get my mail off my G3 and onto my G5 ?

I'm using a POP account, and getting my mail via Netscape. Is there a way to get all my old mail on the new computer ?
Please keep your answers non-technical and simple.
Trying to transfer mail to my G5, running OS 10.4.9. It's got a 2 ghz PPC processor.

"When you say mail the document/file, what do you want me to mail ? I have the individual mails, but they are not in anything but the Inbox and Sent folders."
Ok, you were using an ancient version of Netscape. Going from memory here but, do the following:
System Folder>Preferences Folder>Netscape Users, then to a folder with the profile name>Mail Folder.
Email the following mail files to yourself as attachments:
Drafts
Inbox
Sent
Templates (only if you have any to transfer over)
Unsent Messages (only if you have any to transfer over)
Do not remove the files showing the following suffixes:
.snm
.sbd
When you install FireFox, I am assuming you will be using it's email client - Thunderbird.
Home>Library>Thunderbird>Profiles>lppam3ms.default>Mail>Local Folders
Drag your Netscape email files into the Local Foldrs
Quit out of Thunderbird.
Restart your computer.
Open Mail & use its Export option to export your email from Thunderbird.
No need to restart unless promted to do so.

My old laptop died, how do I get my songs back?

Hey!
So recently my laptop died and it's going to cost $250 to fix it and I don't wanna be paying that much if I just want to get my iTunes library back. I only have some of my songs on my iPhone and I need to get my songs back since I have over 3,000 on the laptop.
You may say to download all your purchases, but I've put CDS on and I don't have them all, so how do I do this?

Depending on the nature of the failure of your old computer you (or a helpful friend) may be able to extract the hard drive from it, put it in an external drive bay and recover your iTunes library and other personal data from it.
Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
