The drive my iTunes music was on is totally dead, so I'm on a new computer. Is there a way to restore my music from my iPod to the new machine?

I had a total hard drive failure. I cannot retrieve my music stored on this drive, including a few iTunes purchases I had not backed up. Is there a way to push my music from my iPod to a new computer with iTunes? I hate the idea of re-ripping my CD's, not to mention losing some iTunes purchases.

David,
I would take a look at this old post by another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to recover the media from your iPod.

I have had my ipod for about 3 years and do not have the computer my music was saved on, now its only on my ipod. I got a new computer, is there any way to transfer my music from my ipod to my itunes?

see question

So what would happen if you lost your iPod or it was stolen? Answer, all your music would be gone.
The iPod is not a storage device.
Do you have a backup of your media from your old computer? If so, copy all your media from that backup to your new computer.
Otherwise, try searching the forums for an answer to your question. This EXACT same question is asked and answered many times every day.

When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically important songs from your previous computer? I recently cracked the screen on my computer and cannot access any files. Last time I got a new computer my iTunes media files automatically appeared in my iTunes when I downloaded it, and I did not have to use my external drive. Is this still possible?

If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

thank you for the tip.
Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
Thanks again for the help.

The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them. Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

Navigate to the photo sheet page (the one with the thumbnails) tap the edit button in the top right corner, tap the photos you want to delete to select them, tap the delete button in the bottom right corner.

Is there any way to restore it to factory settings with out the disk?

I got a macbook off of a friend with all the proper disks, did the installation and set up and did all the updates. Now after having restarted the computer with the new updates I'm trying to install iworks(it always asks for the admin. name and password), but it keeps saying that I have the incorrect administrator name or password yet I can log on and off just fine. Is there any way I can fix this or reset it to the factory settings with out having to use the disk?

OK, then you can try this instead:
I lost my admin user (OS X 10.5)
If you are unfortunate enough to delete your only admin user, or remove his admin capability, then as long as you have another user with login capability, you can give that user admin rights as shown below. Print this post out in a mono-spaced font, and type carefully, paying attention to spaces and punctuation, since you cannot copy/paste in Single User mode. Caution: in single user mode you have root privileges. Be careful!
Substitute the name of 'youruser' below.
Boot into single-user mode which will eventually get you to a shell prompt (ending in #). Then type the following (Press RETURN after each command):
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat the above until it says your disk is OK. Then continue with
/sbin/mount -uw /
/usr/bin/dscl . -merge /groups/admin users youruser
If you get a message saying "invalid path", then type these two commands first:
/usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin gid 80
/usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin passwd '*'
and then repeat the "dscl ... -merge" command.
Then:
reboot
You will now be able to login as 'youruser' and have administrative privileges. Membership of the 'admin' group is the only thing that distinguishes administrative users from ordinary users.
