Old Computer dead: all music/mov/photos on ipod, need to transfer

My old computer is dead, I just want to transfer the gigabytes of music/movies/photos currently on my ipod over to my new computer. I thought it would be a user friendly breeze, but it looks likes it much harder than i expected and I need help
(btw i managed to transfer apps and i saw some message about 1 out of a max of 5 something and de-authorizing but I cant de-authorize anything or do anything else on my old computer)
thanks

This is one of the many reasons that maintaining a backup is basic. Just use your backup to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup (terrible idea), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

I have a new computer Window7 and can't get sharing for photos. If I reconnect to the old computer WindowsXP I can see photos. Is there a different setting in Window7?

I recently purchased a new computer Window7 and no longer can find or share photos from my library. If I move back to the old computer WindowsXP I can share photos. Is there some setting that I'm missing on the new operating system that is preventing the sharing of photos?

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

Accidently hid all music and photos from my phone?

So I was had my blackberry connected to my computer and I was trying to upload photos from it. There were some hidden ones that I couldn't get to so I decided to look around and see if I could find them. I right clicked the folder blackberry after I selected the device from my computer. I then went into properties and accidentally selected checkbox option of only show hidden, or something to that. Now when I look on the device, all folders are gone including camera, picture music, everything there isn't a single folder listed in the device when it is connected to my computer. And as a result all music and photos on my device even when not connected to my computer are lost. Please help me recover all my music and photos that I foolishly lost.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On your computer you need to make sure it's set to show hidden files.
For Windows Vista and 7:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/
For XP:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/display-hidden-folders-in-xp/
Once you have those showing in Windows then connect your device back to the computer and undo what you did. You should see the hidden folders in Windows now and you should be able to remove the checkbox for Hidden.

Any way to restore music and photos if iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

is there any way to restore music and photos on iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

You said the music and photos were all erased from the iPod? And now you say your computer and all backups are gone. There is therefore no way to recover your files short of paying thousands of dollars to a professional data recovery laboratory and even then there's no guarantee you'll get all of it – or even some of it – back.

I have removed all music/movies/etc. from iTunes due to duplicates. I have connected iTunes to a NEW library only to have the same problem, duplicates (2 or 3 of every song). I need a solution.

I have removed all music/movies/etc. from iTunes due to duplicates. I have connected iTunes to a NEW library (38.33 GB) only to have the same problem, duplicates (2 or 3 of every song or 63.80 GB). I did not have this problem until syncing my library with the new Macbook Pro. I need a solution (a solution IS NOT sifting through my iTunes song by song and deleting the duplicates).

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

Hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

Yes because that information is not located on the hard-drive of your new mac! If it is purchased content from the store, than this issue isn't as bad as it looks!
Here is a link explaining how to get your previously purchased content back:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You also want to authorize your Apple ID account on the computer by following these instructions as well:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1730
Basically this link explains to go to the top left corner of your screen where you will see file, edit, view etc! Click on Store in that section and click on authorize this computer, also you want to make sure that the computer will not automatically sync by going to iTunes in the top left corner, just to the right of the apple symbol if iTunes is selected, and go to prefrences, and here you will see back up! Right under the back-ups has an option explaining to prevent devices from automatically syncing which is good cause you may be able to transfer your purchases from there which will put your content into the computer, and if that happens than we don't lose anything
Hopefully I was of some help:)

I need to move my copy of CS6 from my old computer to a new one. Do I need my license reset?

I need to move my copy of CS6 from my old computer to a new one. Do I need my license reset?

You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so there is nothing you need to do other than install (not move) the software on the new machine, unless you already have it activated on two machines.
If you do not plan to use the old machine again or would simply prefer to remove the software from it, or you would like to retain an activation for another machine at some point, it is best that you deactivate it beforehand. To deactivate open one of the applications and choose Help -> Deactivate. Once you deactivate it there is nothing else you need to do unless you want to uninstall it as well to gain more drive space.
