Old Computer crashed with music Library
My old computer crashed so I am left with my music on my ipod. Is there a way I can copy my music from my ipod into my new itunes on my new computer. Otherwise I will need to reload all my cd's again. Not something I am looking forward to.
Thanks, Neil
This shouldn't be a problem.
Just sync your iPod with the newly installed iTunes.
Synchronisation works both directions, so all music on the iPod will go to the PC as well as the other way round.
Even with no crash of your computer, there might be occasions where you load new music to your iPod elsewhere, and you're still able to keep the data on your PC identical by using the synchronisation feature.
Best Regards
Herbie

Help! iMac Computer Crashed with Music Library On It
I still have an iPod with music on it and I tried to download the library to my HP Pavilion laptop and I was only given the option to wipe it clean. Since I purchase all the music from iTunes, shouldn't I be able to access it on my other computer or something?...Lost thousands of songs!!! I just purchased an iPad and am frustrated because I can't get my music on it. Anybody know what I can do to get to my music again?
the following post by Zevoneer in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8794716 says it all:
If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it 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

It is on your old computer. Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085 ); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
If the above doesn't work, it is reported iTunes Support occasionally permitting a second download when asked nicely, but they are in no way obligated to do this. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column; third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.

Old computer crashed with library
I lost all my music, it's only on the old Ipod. I want to add new purchased music onto old ipod, the computer says my ipod is associated with the old computer. I am afraid of losing all my music on the old ipod.
Move the music from your iPod back to the computer.
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.
It works on both Mac and Windows (since you have neglected to tell us what you use).
Once the music from the iPod is safely back in your iTunes library, you can sync the iPod as normal. -
My old computer crashed, with all my iTunes data on. What do I do?
Hi,
I have over 200 songs on my iPod, and I liked to import CD's to my iPod using my old computer, which crashed, meaning I can't transfer CD's to my iPod. I got iTunes on my netbook, and I also have a disc drive, so I tried to import my new CD from there to my iPod, but when I tried syncing the library (with my CD on now) it said "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, films, TV programs, books, and tones from this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?" But I don't want to remove ALL of my songs from my iPod, because I love music and I don't want to lose them forever...what do I do, I don't understand? How do I put my CD onto my iPod without removing any songs?
Thanks.For non-Tune purchases you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Old laptop crashed with music....trying to get access to songs I purchased.
I still have to attempt to pull all my info off my dead pc but wondered if I could access the music I already purchased somehow from the itunes site....is there someway to get access to my previous purchases?
When you buy a song, video, iPod Game, or album from the iTunes Store you are entitled to download it a single time. If you want to download it again, you must purchase it again. You can copy downloaded content between authorized computers.
Important: Make a backup of the content you purchase. In case of data loss, including hard drive failure or replacement, accidental deletion, and so forth, you'll be able to restore it from the backup. See How to back up your media in iTunes for instructions.
Applications purchased from the App Store can be redownloaded free of charge by following the instructions in How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store. -
My old computer crashed with my entire iTunes library. It was not backed up and now my only music library is on an older iPod Nano. Is there a way of getting my music from my iPod to my computer so that I can then get my music onto my iPhone 4S?
Thank you,You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to your iTunes library. Then, you can sync the iPod and iPhone to that iTunes library.
NOTE: For any previous song purchases from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. You need to be signed in using the same Apple ID used for purchasing. -

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music that you've bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs then have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto the computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, whether they still exist and work I don't know.

My old Computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and tunes. iTunes says I must delete everything off my iPod in order to add a new CD. It also said I already have an account which I was able to locate. I don't know how to get into my old account. I think that would solve everything. I have Windows XP. I'd appreciate any input.
No.
All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
The same applies here. -
My old computer crashed, and down with it went my itunes library. How do I get my old library into my new library (on my new mac) ?

Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I try to connect them to new computer it says I need to erase all data, apps, etc. to sync with new computer. It is saying that it can only be connected to one library at a time. Is their anyway around this without having ot erase all their stuff?
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. -
My old computer crashed and I had to get a new one. I was unable to save anything from the old computer. Is there anyway to get my music from my Ipod to my new computer without having to start over with the old cd's again
Hello cheech07,
The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.

My old computer crashed and I still have my music in an IPod. How to transfer the music/playlists into a new computer which has already music in it? (Not possible to copy ITunes of old computer in IPod)
ThanksLucky for you, I just found out how to get the music stored on your iPod by messing around with it. I'm not much of an Apple user (I only have a shuffle), so I'm not 100% sure it would work the same way as yours.. but it's worth a shot.
if your iTunes didn't sync with your iPod yet,... that would be great..
1, Make sure your iTunes does not automatically sync with your iPod (I don't know if this would help..)
2, Click on your iPod and go to settings, check "Enabe Disk Use"
Your iPod should now have a partition on My Computer called AFJCHAW's IPOD or whatever you named your iPod... If you go to that disk, you'll notice there's nothing in there.
3, Click on Organize at the top right part of Windows Explorer(Windows 7, don't know how in XP..), go th the Folder and search options, view tab, and click on show hidden files, folders, and drives.
If you go back to your disk, you should be able to find a folder
4, It'll be pretty straightforward then. Go to iPod_Control/Music. You'll find folders there. Inside the folders are each of your music files (they're renamed but the Details would still be about the same).
If you did get your music files back from this procedure, then, yay! it worked!!
If you didn't,.... it should've worked.. -
