- 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.

So, pretty much, I hadnt updated my ipod for quite sometime...and it wouldnt let me take music from my ipod onto my computer (now running the latest itunes) When I finally decided to update everything, the information about icloud said that it could download previously purchased music etc. So, I figured it would all be fine, as I assumed all my music, as Ive always used the same account, would overall be saved onto that in someway or another, and it could at least make it realise that Ive already downloaded things? so, I updated, my ipod was wiped except for photos, and now I cant get any of my previously purchased music, videos, or apps....however...I really care about the music most of all. I've read help sections millions of times...but I cant find any that acctually help me (none of the apple ones I have found have even mentioned the fact that theres NOTHING in the purchased bar) I tried downloading something else and that works fine on this new 'icloud' thing. Pretty much, I am acctually terrible with technology...and I probably should never assume things ever again...but if you have any idea what I could do to help me...that would be much appreciated!
get the order number from itunes account "Purchase History" & then send a mail to itunes store from following website. www.apple.com/support/itunes/ They will provide you exception to redownload because its Apple's problem

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).

Iphone and computer died, need to get the files from hard drive
Iphone and computer died at the same time, my hard drive on the computer is ok, i did a external connection of my hard drive to my laptop, my iphone was backed up on itunes on the computer which are on the hard drive, how do i extract contacts and other files from the hard drive thanks
If the old drive is not accessible then, no, you will not be able to access all your files on it. In this case you may need to look at the following:
Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

when I attempt to access iTunes, I receive a message reading, "this copy of iTunes is corrupted or installed improperly, please reinstall iTunes," How do I do this and not lose my existing music library?
Hello, marty51.
I would start by removing iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified of this article. Your iTunes Media folder will not be affected.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Once uninstalled, download and install a new copy of iTunes.
If you experience any issue or error when attempting to uninstall any component, these articles will help you resolve those conflicts.

Im planning on buying an Ipad. I already have an itunes account for my Ipod touch with a bunch of music, and apps. When i buy said ipad (and i connect it to my account) will all the apps/ music automatically download themselves or will i be able to choose the apps/ music that will go to the ipad?
You can choose which apps to install. App Store > Purchased > Not on This iPad.

My ipod classic is still working, its not frozen or anything. It just won't sync up with my macbook and itunes. I recently realized that I had previously connected it to a PC just to charge it then it when i tried to connect it to my mac, it wouldn't sync up. Can someone help me figure this out? I don't want to lose all of my data though, like music, photos, or videos. Any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!
okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies
