Need help on my 40 gigabyte ipod photo and possible deletion of songs

Hi...
I may have to reinstall all of my windows xp system software due to a potential virus. I currently cannot get to my desktop and therefore online. So, here's the dilemma...if I have to redo my harddrive, I will lose itunes, and wipe out all of the songs I have on it, (about 9000 or so) and I do not have them backed up and currently can't access the program to back them up. So, if I lose the itunes memory from my desktop, but still have my whole library on my actual ipod, is there a way to reinstall my songs from my ipod to itunes, when I restore everything on my desktop? Thanks....help fast!!!

"is there a way to reinstall my songs from my ipod to itunes, when I restore everything on my desktop?"
Salvation is at hand. : )
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open 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.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.

  • I SERIOUSLY NEED HELP I CANT UPDATE MY iPOD NANO AND I JUST GOT IT!!!

    I plug in my iPod rite, and then it starts to begin updating when this message comes up:
    Songs on the iPod "Ma Nano" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
    What does that mean and how do i fix it????
    Help please.

    I have a Nano that is locked up and seems to have some logic to the problems.
    I have tried the 5Rs
    I have formatted and restored
    I have the latest version of the firmware and software
    This thing is a $250.00 nightmare it is 5 months old and now it is a software piece of junk does anyone now of any person that can troubleshoot and repair this device (in a reasonable amount of time?)
    There is no doubt that I can send it back to Apple under warranty and they will remove the software bug and charge me $100.00 (plus shipping and handling) to solve there problem.

  • I need help with saving all of the photos and videos on my iPhone.

    When I access the screen that has Photos, Shared, and Albums and I click on Photos, there are more photos there than the phone is counting that
    I have on my iPhone. How do I save all those photos or put them onto my computer? I have saved the photos it will let me but I cannot access the photos from more than 2 years ago. Also my phone says I have 43 videos but only 10 save.
    Also, when I upgrade and switch to a newer iPhone, will I see all those photos from the whole history of my phone, will I see all 43 videos, and all my iMessages and SMSs?
    Thank you.

    Hi Sharon,
    The best thing for you to do is 2 things.
    When you purchase a new device(whether it be a iPhone, iPod or iPad)
    1) Perform a full backup of your old device via iTunes. This will save contacts, calendars, photos, text messages, emails, apps in folders how you left them, music, videos, podcasts etc. Note it won't import your photos unless you tell it to.
    1.1) When you get your new device it will ask whether to set up as a new device or from a backup, select from backup and your new phone will look and be exactly the same as your old one, same settings etc.
    2)[optional] I personally like to backup my photos to iPhoto on my mac once a month. When  it reaches the end of the library it asks whether to delete originals or not. If you hit no it doesn't change the photos on your device and you have a copy in your iTunes library. This is handy if you want to use photos from your phone on your mac.

    I need help turning on my apple Ipod device. i have locked myself out.

    If problem try the items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Questions about iPod photo and Apple Protection Plan

    I have an iPod photo and an APP that expires May 2007. My
    iPod's battery has permanently run out and I plan to use my APP and send it to Apple. Here are my questions:
    1. What is the best way to contact them about sending my iPod to them?
    2. Does the APP cover battery replacement?
    3. Has Apple discontinued the making of iPod photos?
    4. If so, will they still replace my battery or will they just send me a completely new iPod?

    1) You can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    2) Yes.
    3) Yes.
    4) They will send a replacement iPod photo. They have stock just for this purpose.

  • IPod photo and usb

    We have an old,1.2.1, iPod Photo with firewiredock for connecting to the computer; a dock to camera usb +camera reader+ cable; and an optical cable to connect the iPod to our Hi Fi.
    We recently acquired a radio/cd/tape player which has a usb port and will shortly take delivery of a new TV also with a usb port. The camera reader does not have the right size of usb connection to fit the radio and therefore probably the TV.
    Is there a cable which will connect the iPod dock to the Radio/TV to 1)play music and/or 2) show photos?
    Your advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks Kenichi. Some more info from me :
    This is what the TV Handbook says: +USB connection / PC network connection+
    +Multimedia connection for instantly view or play+
    +your photos or music.+ The TV is Philips 42 PFL9803H.
    As I understand this you should be able to play an iPod photos and music through the TV but to go back to my original question, is there a USB cable that will do the job?
    The MPMAN radio/cassete/CD player does much the same except obviously just for music. It says connect the MP3 to the USB port and play your music.
    Both devices will also take a USB Stick but I do not know how you transfer music and/or photos over to a stick.
    I simply want to benefit from all my work in creating libraries and sideshows in iPhoto and creating playlists of my own music in iTunes. Since everything is synced to iPod, the simplest thing seems to be to use the USB ports on the above devices. But what cable, if it exists?
    I thought most new TVs and audio devices now come with USB ports to enable greater connectivity and presumably that includes Apple. Perhaps brand competition, copyright protection,or just obstructive individuals are standing in the way. Hopefully you can enlighten me further.
    All the best, Tom.

    Connect your iPhone to your computer. Tp your pc should recognize your iPhone as a camera. Use what ever application you have on the pc to transfer files from a camera to your computer.

  • I copied some photos from the main album to a new album. And I need to delete these photos from the main album so as to have them only to the new album. When I select the photos and choose delete I get the answer DELETE EVERYWHERE

    Ι copied some photos from the main album to a new album. And I need to delete these photos from the main album so as to have them only to the new album. When I select the photos and choose delete I get the answer DELETE EVERYWHERE. I don't have the choice to delete it only from the main album.

    You mean you copied photos from your camera roll to a new album, correct? Well, that's the way it works. The photos wern't actually copied to your new album, just pointers to the actual photos, which are still in your camera roll. So, yes, if you delete from your camera roll, you remove them from your phone.
