New computer but original ipod-how do I get the stuff off ipod onto itunes?

I have had my ipod touch for about 6 months, and have my music and apps on it. Unfortunately the computer has had to have new hard drive etc, how do I get itunes onto the computer and then get my stuff onto ipod on there? Do I just plug it in? I dont want to try and then lose all my stuff?
Thank you for any help!

Where is your backup copy? It is basic to always maintain a backup copy of all important info/music/pics/docs/etc.
Just use your backup copy to put everything back on the computer.
The music sync to ipod touch is one way - computer to ipod. The exception being itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
This will transfer itunes purchases ( make sure your computer is authorized and signed into your account).
The ipod touch will sync to one computer/library. When you sync your ipod to another, it will erase the content of the ipod, then replace with content from the new hard drive.

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.

  • New Computer...how do I get the stuff off my iPod?

    Is it safe to just plug in my iPod (which has all my songs on) into my new computer which has a blank iTunes. It won't wipe my iPod by automatically syncing it? Some advice would be very much appreciated!

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    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.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.

  • New Computer....How do I get my library off old to new?!?!?

    I just a new laptop and I would like to use it for my nano, but of course I get an error message saying the library is already synced to my desktop, any suggestions?!?!?

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • My computer has been stolen - how do i get the data off my phone onto my new computer?

    Is there a way to keep the data (music/photos/contacts/apps etc) currently on my iphone 4s.
    My home computer which my phone was paired with and had back ups on has been stolen.

    You can do this with 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (pc or mac) or PhoneView (mac).

  • I have an old video ipod, how do I get the photos off of it and onto my laptop (windows 8.1)?

    This iPod is so old. The battery doesn't really work anymore. So I want to take the pictures off of it and get them on my laptop.

    I'm not sure. My laptop says that the charger isn't recognized, but it works fine with my iPod touch. So it's about a 50/50 chance I can get it to work. I got it working yesterday, and I could see on iTunes how much storage it had left and all that, so I think if I just play around with it some I can get it to work.

  • How do i get the stuff off of my old iphone on to a different one through itunes

    I had to switch iphones bc my old one just stopped working and i had all of my stuff on itunes well now that i have hooked it up it wouldnt let me sync all my stuff to it it said it was too old so how do i do it

    Hi Rose,
    You just have to run one of the CC applications on your old iMac and do a "sign out" (on windows this is in the e.g. Photoshop "Help" menu, can't remember for Mac)...which warns you that you can't use CC apps on that computer anymore.
    Then install CC on your new iMac and log in to it. You will then have to use the CC app to install photoshop etc on your new iMac.

  • I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

    I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

    For photos synced from your computer ( photo library pics) you don't.  The photo sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    You need to move the pics from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer.  You could e-mail them to yourself.  They will not be of the original resolution.
    For pics taken with ipod ( Camera Roll Pics), then you import them as you would from any digital camera.

  • I just installed the latest version of iTunes to get the updates and new software on my iPod but it hasn't updated my iPod or put any of the new software on there either.  How to I get the software to sync onto my iPod?

    Are you sure it's not 6.1.6?  If it is, that is the latest iOS version that will work on a 4th generation iPod Touch.  Later versions require a 5G iPod which has twice as much RAM.

  • I lost my library and backups to a fire but had my Itouch with me , how do i get my "stuff" off my ITouch to my new library ???

    I lost my itunes library and backups to a fire but had my Ipod Touch with me, how do I get my "stuff" off
    my ITouch to my new computer and new Itunes library ?????

    Connect iPod to PC
    Ignore iTunes prompt to sync.
    Find ipod device in 'My computer'
    Open the ipod drive and click on ORGANIZE. Then folder and search options tab. Then View and Show hidden files and folders. (You may have done this before)
    A folder called "ipod_control" should appear. Open it
    Within this folder there should be another "ipod_control" folder. Open that too.
    Copy and paste everything in this folder to a folder in "My Music", name it so you can recognize it.
    Return to iTunes, then go to  File -> Add folder to libary.
    Find that folder you pasted to my music. Highlight it and press select.
    Wait. iTunes will recognise the code of the files and begin importing it all to your libary.
    Thats it! Your files are moved. ^_^
    (PS. you may want to look over them as some of the code will not have been translated, but if you recognise the songs then it should not be a problem.)

    Click on transfer purchases only works for purchased apps and music, but NOT the music rip from CDs or other sources.
    For transferring music other than those purchased from iTunes, refer to the following:

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

    Copy the songs to a computer that is running iTunes, add those new tracks to the current library, and then synch those tracts to the iPod.
