Old computer died, need iPod music on new laptop

My old computer died before I could make files and transfer library. How do I get my music from my iPod to my new laptop? I need help!!

Hello kris10new,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l. I think this is the link. However, you will need to use the new S/N if you need to do the activation. The Activation server for AA 7 was taken down. I am not sure this link is complete, but it might give you some idea. However, on WIn7 and newer, AA7 has problems and will only work with some workarounds, and then kind of clunky.

How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop?

How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop? When I plug in y IPOD classic, I get a msg asking me to erase the IPOD. What I'd like to do is make the laptop my "home base" vs. my desktop. I have had no success when using icons from ITUNES.

You need to move the iTunes library from your home computer to your new laptop first. From there you'll be able to continue syncing your iPod as before. This iTunes support article covers the different methods available for moving your iTunes library from one PC to another.

Old computer died, need to import whole library/playlists to new

My old computer died without warning last week, and thankfully I was able to recover all my music and such from my hard drive and put it on my new computer. How do I import my whole library with playlists and everything into my new iTunes? I spent tons of time putting different playlists together and don't want to have to start from scratch. Is there a way to pull them off my iPod??
Any help is appreciated!

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

Old computer died need to put itunes on new one

old computer died have no access to it need to put my old itunes on new laptop

See this User Tip for an alternative approach.
Use SyncToy to create a clone of your library on an external hard drive.
Connect the drive to the new computer, install SyncToy again and use the Sync option to copy the library in the other direction.
(ideally before installing iTunes so you don't have to remove an empty library or run the risk of it corrupting your backup.)
Update the backup periodically to guard against disaster in the future.

Old computer died, need to get my music from my ipod touch to my pc, how can I do this without losing music for free!?

I have an Ipod touch with about 900 songs on it, i used to connect with my old pc until it recently broke. i have just bought a new pc and was wondering how i could get my music from my ipod to my new computer! the only thing i need is music , no videos or anything. does anyone know how i can do this for free? not very good with computers by the way!

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- If you have synced photos and some other items you will need a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. They also do music.
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backyp by right clicking on the iPod uder Devices in iTunes and select Backup
- Then restore the iPod from that backup.

Old computer died - need to get itunes songs/apps on new computer

Our old computer has died. Repair guy is able to retrieve files from hard drive. My kids have an ipod nano and ipod touch. How do we get the new computer set up and get all of the songs/apps/movies onto the new computer? Should I ask repair guy to look for specific file on hard drive or will itunes get info from their ipods when they plug in?

You should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations (Do not ask for more than that or they might not help).
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Hello tysonmgr,
And welcome to Apple Discussion
I think your option here would be to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new computer. From there, you can restore the iPod via iTunes and then sync all your old and new content to it.
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. Also keep in mind that the articles may be written for Windows XP, so the steps might have to be altered slightly.
Actually this article here was written for both Windows XP and Vista.

When I first opened my ITunes acct, I had a different computer. How do I get the music from old computer to sync w/ music on new computer?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Do you mean that you want to copy the music from your old computer over to your new one ? If you do then there are some methods described on this page for how to do it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If you want to copy the music back from your iPod then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy your iTunes purchased music back from it. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program on your computer to copy it back from the iPod - there are some programs listed half-way down this page : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Computer crash -- Moving iPod music to new computer

My old computer crashed and I had to reformat the harddrive. How do I move the 3200 songs back from my iPod to iTunes?
Thanks

If you are using 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.
For all other non purchased music (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 can be messy.
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.

I bought songs on my old computer, but when I got a new laptop they won't play on iTunes

The songs that I bought on my phone have transfered into my library, but the songs purchased on my old computer won't play. They still come up, but the letters are grey instead of black and I can't even select them. What do I do? They were purchased under my account, so they should be showing up.
