Retrieving everything from my iPod Touch

Ok, i've searched these forums to know how to retrieve
my itunes library, without any decent answer.
My hdd crashed, a bad thing, but i was a lucky guy and retrieved all 'my documents'
now, with a full speed, steady and fresh Windows xp professional,
i came across the problem of 2500 songs being in my back-up of documents, which i want
to have in my library too ofcourse.
I can't sync my ipod...no fun
here are 2 positive things :
my iPod Touch's still got all songs
i found some library files from my back-up documents (might be library back-up?)
how can i get my songs back without trouble?
Thx in advance!
this is the second time that i post this...itunes recognises my ipod as 'iPod Touch' while the name used to be 'Ollii's iPod Touch', which actually still is the name of my iPod if i look it up on the device itself..
i might just need to get everything copied from my ipod touch to my library (really, everything)

iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
For everything else (music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
A selection of iPod/iPhone to iTunes utilities:
Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
One last thing, if your iPod is set to sync automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. Open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" and choose Ok before connecting your device.
Once you have recovered everything from the iPod and your iTunes library has been rebuilt it will be safe to sync again.

    - If you restored the 5G frmm the iTunes backup of the 3G were th app in the iTunes library of the computer you used? They have to be.
    - If yes then try again. When I first restored my iPad 4 from the iTunes backup of my iPad 1 app data did not transfer. I tried again and it did.

    Be sure to first sync and backup your iPod Touch with iTunes. Then just sync your iPad with iTunes to transfer everything to the iPad. Be sure you are using the same Apple ID. You will now have two devices synced with iTunes on your computer.

    i have an ipod touch first generation and recently purchased a new ipod touch. is there a way to get all the photos and text from the old one to the new one?

    Easy.  Make sure all music and apps are in your iTunes library and just restore you new iPod from the backup of your old iPod.  Make sure you make a backup of the old one right before.  You should be offered that option when you first connect your new iPod to your syncing computer.  I was.

  • Is there any way to recover the iTunes Library file from the iPod Touch to preserve metadata like Date Added?

    Topic.
    I used software (SharePod) to retrieve music from my iPod Touch after my original harddrive failed, but the program does not retrieve the iTunes Library file needed to import the metadata into iTunes (though it shows in the program itself). The music backed up with no issue, but I don't have what I need to preserve things like Date Added, Play Count, etc. Any solution if I have only the physical iPod Touch?

  • Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?

    Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?
    My PC got a virus and I had to reinstall windows from scratch so I lost most of my music. I had a backup program that died in the middle of it so only half came back. the only place that I have all the songs is on the ipod. if I let it sinc it will loose the half that I do not have.
    Any ideas on which direction I should go?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.

    Once you have recovered everything from the iPod and your iTunes library has been rebuilt it will be safe to sync again.
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
