If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
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.

  • PC crashed. Unable to sync music on new laptop.  HELP!!

    I had several songs downloaded on my PC which was the computer I had linked to my IPhone. The PC crashed so I got a new laptop. Now when I attempt to add music to my IPhone it does not allow me to. I have added the laptop as an authorized computer on ITunes and it will not let me even sync with the library. Am I going to have to re-download all that music again? And how do I even put new music on there. It is locked. I am not computer savvy so any assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Well, even though you have authorized the iTunes, if you didn't have a backup of your iTunes library, it is going to be difficult at best. While you can transfer purchases made on the iPhone to the iTunes library, if you are using the same login on iTunes that you had when you purchased the music, it does not include music you may have added to iTunes on your own.
    The iPhone is designed to only sync to a single iTunes library. If you attempt to sync to another, it will erase all of the existing music and replace it with the music in the new library. If there is none, then it will just erase music and do nothing.
    Did you ever do a backup of the iTunes music library? If not, you will need to Google for a 3rd party application that can help take the music off the iPhone, since iTunes is designed to only sync the music one way, from iTunes to the iPhone.
    Once you have replaced the library, making sure you have auto syncing disabled (done in iTunes, edit, preferences, devices, put a check by prevent automatic syncing) connect the iPhone. Once you have done that, go to the music tab, put a checkmark by sync music, OR on the Summary page, check manually manage music and you can drag music one song at a time to the phone.
    Hope this helps answer your questions.

  • IPhone won't sync with my new HP Windows laptop.

    iPhone 5, Black, 16GB, IOS 8.1.3
    I recently purchased a new laptop and installed iTunes right away! the problem is, a few min after I have connected my iPhone and it is supposed to be syncing music to the laptop, it keeps popping up with Error -54. which i guess just means it can't sync? So i uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes again several times and i still get the same message except only now it shows up in my music library but when you click on it, it skips to the next available song automatically. What do i do and how do i fix this?

    Copy the iTunes library from your old computer to your new one. There are multiple ways to do this. Transferring it via the iPhone is NOT one of them. The iPhone is not a backup, or data transfer device.
    See this article for a good step by step: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How do i transfer music to new laptop?

    How do I transfer my music to new laptop?  My library only shows up when my ipod is hooked up but once I remove it, my library disappears.  It's a toshiba windows 8

    You can authorize up to 5 computers with the same iTunes account with iTunes.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.
    The iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    To avoid this with a new computer, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will want or need to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc. For your iTunes library, follow the instructions included with this link.

  • WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium

    WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium. It continuously runs through a cycle of detecting, connecting, losing connection; detecting, connecting, losing connection, etc. A the router runs through this cycle, basically acting as if I have disconnected then reconnected to power to reset it, it disrupts my Internet connection to both my wired iMac and other, wireless desktop upstairs. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access he set up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After he finished, the problem still existed. When I told him the problem hadn't been fixed,  he told me just wait for an hour or so and it should work itself out. It, of course, did not work itself out. Any ideas out there?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Never mind-I seem to have fixed the problem with a simple firmware upgrade. Funny how the Linksys support technician didn't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try upgrading the firmware first. He was, however, quite good at trying to upsell me to a new router instead of trying to help me fix the problem I was having. Makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thank you very much!

    Import the music on the external HD into iTunes.  If you don't want iTunes to make a new copy of each track that is stored in your iTunes Media folder on your PC's internal HD, make sure the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library option is NOT ticked from under the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences.  Just remember that if you go this route, you'll always need to have your external HD plugged in before you start up iTunes.
