However.. the computer with my itunes wont turn on anymore and i get get on it at all. I just recieved an ipod touch for christmas and dont know how to get my itunes and all my music back?!?!?!
any help??

Where is your backup? If you have failed to backup your music (bad idea) then it is likely gone.
If your itunes purchases are on an ipod, you could transfer them:
File>Transfer Purchases
If you do not maintain a backup, you will likely lose your music at some point.

    You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the music I already have on my PC

    I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the mp3 songs I already have on my PC

    I have thousands of mp3's on my PC.  I used to use a Zune, it died I made the move to I pod touch.  I downloaded I tunes to my PC and a small amount of my music showed up on the screen.  I did a search for an artist for whom I have lots of songs.  I tunes can't find him and tries to direct to the I tunes store to buy stuff by him.  Unacceptable 
    So then I went to my windows explorer, opened my folder for the artist,  right clicked on a song,  chose "play" and  I tunes then played it.  So now I tunes can find that one song but none of the others in that folder.   I don't want to do this drill with all my songs since I have thousands that I tunes can't or won't display.  Is this just some cynical move by Apple to get me to re-buy music I already have?

  • New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

    I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

    I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

  • Loading new Ipod shuffle onto Itunes account

    Okay, I have an Itunes account already and it is connected to my old ipod mini. I recently got an Ipod shuffle and when I try to load songs onto it the ipod shuffle won't recognize them because they are protected on my itunes account. I tried to change my account so it recognized my new ipod shuffle and itunes said I was not authorized to do that. Any suggestions?

    You can load any number of iPod devices with one iTunes library and account. So that's not the problem.
    Are you sure your shuffle is charged? Did you try plugging it into a different USB jack? When you look in "My Computer" is your shuffle recognized? Does iTunes see your shuffle and list it as a device when it's plugged in?
    Does your shuffle need a software update? OR, can you restore your shuffle? Go to the settings tab and click on the "Restore" tab.
    Are you trying to use autofill for your shuffle? Perhaps, to get started, you should turn off autofill and make a playlist. I have found that it is easier to make a playlist of all of the music I want to add to my shuffle. Then I pull this playlist on top of my shuffle and it is updated.
    Your shuffle should play your purchased music with no problems!

    The seventh generation iPod nano requires at least iTunes 10.7 and Mac OS X 10.6.

  • New iPod to old iTunes library

    I have succumbed to the tempation of a new iPod with video. I have an old 3G iPod and a decent music library built up, including some ITMS stuff, in iTunes.
    I presume it is straightforward to sync this with my new iPod? Will iTunes recognise the new iPod as a foreign user?
    Any advice?

    It won't be a "foreign user" if you're connecting it to the same Mac user account. iTunes will try to give the iPod the same default name (like "Martin Toal's iPod.") You will probably want to assign the new iPod a different name, to avoid any possible conflicts.

  • I was trying to add music onto my new ipod, and my itunes said it needs version 10.6.3. i then downloaded it, then it said it requires mac os x version 10.6.8. what does that mean?

    If it's a fourth generation or earlier model, you need to download iTunes 10.6.3; the newer versions won't run on 10.5.8.
    If it's a fifth generation iPod touch, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, which requires an Intel Mac, and then run Software Update. This also works with earlier iPods but isn't the best solution.

  • New iPod not recognized in Vista PC and no devices in iTunes

    Hello, plugged iPod Touch into computer and Vista showed usual little box which said automatically located drivers and installed them. But couldn't find iPod in My computer. Installed iTunes from download area. No devices in left column.
    Reinstalled iTunes from fresh download. Plugged iPod in every USB point on computer, but nothing happens. IPod not found or recognized.
    Tried to find USB driver in Device Manager but all have generic names and so can't identify which driver was installed for iPod. None show installation date or anything which may identify which one. Also forgot to create restore point first (kicking self - always do this normally before installing something new).
    Been through Apple help pages and tried all their ideas including reinstalling. Still nothing found.
    Could someone please suggest what to do, besides dropping computer out of window?
    Many thanks

  • New Ipod not updating or been seen by Itunes

    Yesterday I bought a new black Ipod Nano to replace the one that got broken in a freak accident. I plugged in the new Nano into my PC, go the popup stating the software on the Ipod needed to be updated. So I went ahead and ran the Ipod Updater. Then distear struck. During the update process, my PC got restarted. My Ipod got rebooted during this time. Now it will not Update/Restore or even be seen by Itunes. It shows up as a drive under Explorer (E:). While it is plugged in the PC's USB port, it displayes the "Do Not Disconnect" icon, however no updates are happeing. When it is not plugged in, I can access the menu on the Ipod. I have went through all of the "Five Rs", AND when that did not help; followed the directions in the article "Ipod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 but nothing has changed. After uninstalling Quicktime/iTunes/iPod Updater, restarting my PC, clearing TEMP folders, restarting my PC again, then reinstalling the latest Quicktime/iTunes/iPod Updater, then restarting my PC again (getting bit tedious with all the restarts), I still cannot update my iPod Nano or transfer music to it. HELP! Right now my Nano is just a brand new 270 Euro paperweight.

    Xinh,
    Since you was in the middle of updating when the PC rebooted, your iPod software is corrupt, even tho this artical talks about seeing the apple logo and the iPod not turning on, it covers damaged iPod software which you have to have cuz the update never completed before your PC rebooted
    Just follow the instructions and the link "Disk Mode" in the artical to see how to put the iPod into disk mode http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61584

  • ITunes 7 and new iPod not playing video

    OK here's my other problem:
    I have a new iPod, and have downloaded iTunes 7 and Tiger.
    I've downloaded a video from iTunes (Michael Jackson's Thriler).
    But when I double click on it in 'purchased', it won't play. Nothing happens, no icon, nothing.
    Then when I restarted I got a message after iPod syncing that said 'Thriller' not transferred because iPod cannot play it'.
    Any idea why?! I thought that's what I paid for...!

    I am having a similar problem.  I downloaded a song from iTunes a few minutes ago, but when I went to listen it, only part of the song plays.  The song is abut 2:50 in length, but skips to another song in the playlist at about 1:30.  It seems to pick the song it skips to rather randomly, fwiw!
    Can I try downloading the song again, or will iTunes charge me for it a second time?

  • New Ipod through warranty, itunes not reading it

    I got a new ipod through my warranty b/c my ipod malfunctioned. Now my itunes wont recognize the new ipod b/c it is not the same one. I did not recieve a new itunes cd or anything. do you know how to get itunes to recognize it?
      Windows XP  

    does it have to do with the fact it is no longer the same ipod?
    no, once it's formatted properly it should show up for you.
    let's check on some of the usual suspects.
    while you've got the ipod plugged in, go into "My Computer". does it appear in there?
    if it doesn't appear in there, try:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
    ... but if it does appear in there, try:
    iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported

    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    That's an interesting variation. It's a 1723 error message. (1721 and 1722 are more common.)
    Even though the following user tip is about slightly different errors (the 1721 and 1722), perhaps try it with your one too:
