PC crashed b4 good backup of iTunes - how 2 get ipod music back on PC?

Before we could get a good backup of all my son's iTunes music, the hard drive crashed on the PC. The bad sectors are where his music was so we have no way of recovering from the PC. Is there a way to get the music from his iPod color (30gb) from the iPod to iTunes on the rebuilt PC?

Or you can go in (letter of the driver):\iPod_Control\Music. To see the iPod_Control folder, You must have the hidden folders option off. If it is near of what i'm trying to explain, you should see 50 folders From F00 to F49. Copy and paste them in your computer. I did this(using Windows) And it took me about an hour for 2 000 or so songs. Hope it'll help you!

Trying to reinstall iTunes and get my music back...

Hello, everyone... my username is "quillian86" and I'm new to these parts.
So, down to business...
Recently, I got my computer back after it crashed and had to be restored, so now I have to reinstall iTunes and put all my music back on my computer.
I'm already signed up to Apple using this particular email address (from the first time I installed iTunes on this particular laptop); do I have to sign up for it when I have to download it all over again? I already have an account there.
Also, even though all the music was wiped clean off my computer itself, I still have all the music on my iPod. I've heard that there are programs to make it work in reverse, and have the music on the iPod be loaded onto iTunes. What programs are these? It would REALLY save me the trouble of burning everything to my computer all over again!
Sincerely,
Quillian

Just use your backup copy to put the music back on the computer. This is why backups are a basic.
You do not need another account. You can continue to use your same itunes account.
You can do a forum search for software/methods to move music from a ipod. This is addressed every day here.
Zevoneer does a great job explaining the options.
The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Hope everything works out.

My computer crashed. I backed up everything on an external drive. How do I get the backup of itunes and all my music back on my new computer?

My computer crashed. I had everything backed up on an external drive. I have a new computer. How do I get itunes back on my new computere from the external drive?

This question has to do with how to restore your computer drive if you backed up the computer to an external drive. Did you use backup software or did you just copy the data from the old computer to the new computer? If you just copied, then you need to just copy over the Music folder which should contain the iTunes folder.

Hi Glenn,
You need to Authorize your Mom's computer to your iTunes sign on. Sign on to iTunes, then go to Store at the top of the screen, and select Authorize this Computer.
Then you can download your purchases from your iTunes library by going to the iTunes Store (the one in the sidebar), Music, and then under Quick Links, Purchased.
Once the Purchased window comes up, select "Not on this Computer", and then select All Songs. Your purchased songs will display with a cloud next to them, and you can download them selectively or "Download All" (lower right-hand corner).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

If the music was purchased from iTunes you can redownload it for free (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). If not you will either have to re-import all your music to rebuild your library, or purchase 3rd party software that can transfer it from your phone to iTunes such as Touch Copy.

You can restore that backup to a replacement iPhone, if that's what you're asking. If you want to extract data from the iPhone backup, you'll need third-party software to do so:

Windows PC crashed, how do I get my music back once machine is defaulted?

My Windows PC has crashed and I think I need to reload the operating system to factory defaults. Does anyone know please, how I get my music back that I have purchased through iTunes once it is back at default?

From your backup copy of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good at all), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
From the itunes store terms of service:
"PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."

Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can redownload some purchases in some countries.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1351 I have just reformatted my hard drive and re-installed iTunes; how do I connect back to my library on an external hard drive?

I have just refromatted my hard drive and reinstalled itunes; how do tie it back to my library on an external hard drive?

If the whole library was on the external drive then press and hold down shift as you start iTunes, then use the Choose option to reconnect to it.
If it was only the media folder, but you backed up the library folder then restore that to <User's Music> in your rebuilt machine and you're good to go.
If you forgot to backup the library folder, but you don't care about ratings, play counts, playlists etc. then shift-start-iTunes, Create a new empty library at the root of the external drive, e.g. at X:\iTunes, move the media folder inside that as X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, then use File > Add Folder to Library to import the media.
Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

Have you checked to see if the media files are still on the computer? See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

Restore the songs from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.
