Need to reload my computer, how to save itunes to reinstall

Hello,
I just got my ipod and I am a little lost when it comes to itunes. I just found out I have an issue with something on my computer to I have to reload all the original settings, thus losing my itunes information. I was wondering how I could save everything in my itunes in an external drive (or in this case a flash drive) and then once I am done reloading my computer placing everything back on my computer. My dvd burner does not work, so I cannot save the itunes onto a cd, so I have to save it to my flash drive, or ipod.
Please help, I need to figure this out asap, so I can get everything finished over the weekend.
Thank you for your help, I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!

External hard drive is easiest way. That is what I use for backups myself.

What version of Premiere Elements and what computer operating system is involved here?
Do you have your purchased serial number in hand?
If the version of Premiere Elements involved is Premiere Elements 9 or later, we can direct you to tryout installation files that you can download and insert your purchased serial number into.
Have you checked out http://www.adobe.com and, after your sign in there, the "My Products" category at the top right of the home page to determine if your version with your serial number are listed there.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

I just reloaded my computer how do get my music back

i just completely reloaded my computer how do i restore my purchased music to my library

From your backup copy.
You buy one and only one download. it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Certainly you did not reload you=r computer without making sure that your backup copy was up to date.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

TS2776 i now have window 8 however itunes keeps giving me a message that i need to authorize this computer how do i do this

You wouldn't be able to authorize your computer using your iPod, but Apple does have an article that can get iTunes to shut up about authroization (especially when it's already authorized, but iTunes gets confused for some reason).
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Try:

Also, are you sure you authorized the right account? Could some media be purchased with another account?

How to uninstall itune and reinstall it again?

how to uninstall itune and reinstall again?

Before you try un-installing iTunes you need to de-authorize the computer (otherwise, as I found out the hard way, iTunes will think that you've got 2 authorized computers on your account instead of just one). You should also make sure that you have full backups of all your media content. You can also back up the iTunes library file which contains your ratings, play counts, etc... which, depending on the size of your library, will save a bucketful of time after the re-installation.
If you've on a pc then the uninstall itself works the same way as if you were uninstalling any other software: go to Add or Remove Programs, select iTunes, click "Remove"... and wait (it'll take a while to complete). Then go to the iTunes website and download it.
After that, you can re-load your media files, and import the library, from your backups. iTunes should work just as well as it did before the re-installation.
Hope this helps!

How to save itunes genres on seperate external drives?

how do i save my itunes genres each on a seperate external drives? or maybe it isnt possible and i will have to use 1 huge drive?

The iTunes folder that keeps re-appearing is due to the fact that iTunes requires an "iTunes" folder to exist in its default location, which is still your ~/Music folder. That newly-spawned folder, however, is (or at least should be) empty.
What you need to do is tell iTunes that your new default is now the Time Capsule. To do this, launch iTunes while holding down the "Option" key on your keyboard, select "Choose Library..." on the prompt, and browse for the library that you copied to the Time Capsule. Hope this helps!

How to save iTunes library from failing internal drive?

How does one go about doing this? My internal drive is making noise (and I suspect about to fail), so I'm trying to save my itunes library...I have already switched default drive to my external, but as I understand it some info is still saved on my internal drive? So now what? I am more concerned about saving the music files themselves than the playlists, etc. I know just enough to be dangerous! Please help!

How to save iTunes to iCloud?

i have 50GB space on my cloud i am only using 15GB I want to put some Music and Photos to the Cloud. How do I transfer files?

iCloud storage is used to store backups of your device(s). Photos should be imported to a photo library on a computer. Music should be stored in your iTunes library. Here is more information about what iCloud is and what iCloud does:

Had to purchase new computer - how to get itunes to delete old one?

Yesterday after loading some itunes apps and stuff, my whole computer crashed. I got the dreaded BSOD. I ended up purchasing a new laptop today. I have went to itunes it keeps asking if I want to erase this ipod and replace with the library on this computer. I don't want to do that. I wasn't able to save anything from the old computer. It did transfer the songs that were on her ipod to the laptop, but not the games. It also did not transfer a new app I just purchased for her. It shows it in my purchases, but it won't sync over. Please help! I don't know what caused my crash and I don't want to go thru it again!!!

See this previous discussion especially the second post (first reply).
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2594650&tstart=15
Regarding the games, is the computer authorized for the account that purchased the games? If not they will not transfer. You can always redownload them at no cost. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You will end up having to erase the contents of the iPod and replace them with those in Itunes of the new computer though.

Getting a new computer-how to get ITunes purchases onto it

In the event I have to buy a new computer in the future, how do I get ITunes on the computer and manage to keep all of my purchases?
