You can restore/re-install i-tunes if you relocate your ipod files to another directory and then use the inport directories command under file menu.
I found out the only problem with this is that I lost 100 dollars or more of iTunes software I paid for. I consider this a theft on Apple's part. This is because the software doesn't allow for any work around. Yes I paid for it. You heard it here first. But even though I paid for it, I cannot use it on the new fifth gen iPOD!!
That's just not right. I am supposing this is another revenue generator for Jobs.

  • PLEASE HELP - how do I download old library onto new ipod???

    My old IPOD broke & will not function. I bought a new IPOD and need to download the music from my original ipod library on to my new IPOD (same computer). How do I do this?? Please help me - I have so much music downloaded already that I am afraid of losing or needing to download again. Any suggestions??? Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Is the music on your computer? If so then make sure everything is updated...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download
    Then just connect the iPod and it will sync the songs in iTunes.
    Post back if I misunderstood your question

  • HT1589 How to keep old music onto new itunes

    I brought a new computer (Windows), downloaded itunes, and now I have no songs on this itunes. How do i sync my songs that are in my iphone onto the itunes without losing my old songs? When i try syncing it states that it will erase all my content on my iphone and sync it to my new itunes.
    Help?

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.  the sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How do I get music onto my ipod with the new itunes?

    I have a new ipod, and the new itunes. I cant find any itunes version information, but it downloaded on the 27/9/13
    The old itunes showed your library and ipod icons on the left, and I could simply drag music onto the ipod icon.
    With the new itunes, there is no ipod icon to drag music too.  I certainly dont want to put all my music onto ipod, or have it pick songs randomly.  I have way too much music for itunes, I basically drag some albums to itunes, copy them to the ipod, then delete them from itunes.  I have to do this for 2 reasons, one is that my music is spread over various places, and usually when you plug in an external drive it gives it a different letter, so you "lose" music, and secondly because much of my music doesnt have correct tags because I ripped it from my CDs before there was internet databases (yes I’m old).
    Any ideas how I get an album from a HD onto my ipod?
    Does anyone else find itunes inexplicably unintuitive?

    Hi hobbss,
    It sounds like you may want to show the sidebar in iTunes.  You can access it again by following this:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    Also, here is an article with information on how to sync media to your iPod:

  • Unable to put new music onto my ipod nano

    Please, please can someone help me. I am unable to load any new music onto my ipod. When I put the cd into my the computer drive a message comes up "newer version of quick time required. Quick time version 7.0.2. is installed, itunes requires quick time version 7.0.03 or later. Please reinstall itunes.
    I have reinstalled itunes - it still comes up with the same message. I have downloaded quick time from the website (windows version with and without itunes) and it still won't let me do anything and comes up with the same error message. After 2 hours of this - I've rather had enough of Apple and what at the moment is a rather defunct piece of equipment!
    I would really appreciate any help that can be given. As you might of noticed I'm not a technical person...
    Thanks.

    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?

  • I have updated to IOS 7.1 my music has disappeared and my boyfriend has put his iPod music onto my iPod those also were gone I'd like to know how to get it back if there is anything you can tell me to get my music to pop back up that would be great.

    You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. If you sync with another iTunes library/computer the media from the iPod will be deleted and replaced with the media on the second computer.
    If you want to change syncing computers then:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Try using a USB2 port. If you are already using a USB2 port disconnect any USB1 devices on that port (i.e. if it's got a hub on it).

    Respond please!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
