The hard drive on my computer died.

Is there a way to save the songs from my IPod. I have reinstalled Itunes on the new computer, however I can't seem to reload the songs from the Ipod. Can someone give me a clue on what to do?

The easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

The hard drive on our computer died and we lost all of our purchases in the account. Is there a way to recover the songs we have paid for? If we plug in our iPod to a new account, won't it erase everything during the synch process? Help!

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then transfer purchases form your ipod.
Without syncing, click File>Transfer Purchases

HT4527 I just had to clear the hard drive on my computer - now I want to transfer all the music and pictures from my ipad back onto my computer. 'Sync' doesn't do it. What do I do?

I had toclear the hard drive of my computer and reinstall Windows 7. Now I want to transfer all the music and photos from my iPad back onto my computer. I authorized the computer (it is the ONLY computer authorized on this account - and this is the ONLY account on this iPad). ITunes then downloaded my purchases...or at least it tried - out of the hundreds of tracks I have purchased, it managed one album that I bought over a year ago and NOTHING else. So I tried to Sync - since on older versions of iTunes (that were SO MUCH MORE user friendly) that would do the job -transferring things that were only on the iPad onto the computer and vice versa. It doesn't do that anymore. So I went from my iPad's summary to the Music tab - the box for Music was not checked but when I checked it said the only thing it could do was erase EVERYTHING from my iPad and replace it with what was on my computer (that ONE album). What is going on?
Why hasn't iTunes downloaded my other purchases since I authorized the computer? (there are over 3,000 tracks...not 18)
How can I download my iPad to my computer?

-Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

The hard drive on my laptop died, so i have lost all my music. It is saved on my iphone, is there any way to transfer it across onto my new laptop? Or does itunes keep a record of my purchases?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

If you are talking about your friend's iTunes password, you are not supposed to use or have his password or even his music,etc. in your computer...

I recently replaced the hard drive in my computer. I am afraid to download and reinstall itunes again because I worry about losing all the music I had on my iPod Nano. Any suggestions for solutions?

The dragging does not work:
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discused here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to your compouter and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Nothe that the backup that iTunees makes does not include synced media like apps nd music.

Erase the Hard Drive before selling computer ???

I just sold my iBook G4 (with original OS 10.3 cds)
I will be reinstalling all the original software before I deliver it.
What's the best way to ZERO the hard drive. I knew how to do it
with OS 9 but I can't figure it with OS X.
I just want to erase all the data (FOR GOOD) and then reinstall
the Cds - before delivering it.
Any ideas?
Thanx!

Hi SLNY
Insert your Install disk 1 into to the drive and then Restart, and hold down the C key to take you to the installation windows.
Select your language, the start up Volume and choose Erase and Install.
Select Security options and choose zero all data.
This will take longer. If you choose more extensive secure erase, be prepared to wait several hours for it to complete.
After the installation, at the point your registration process starts, quit and switch off the computer.
This will allow the new user a freshly installed system, whereby they can complete the registration process themselves.

HELP! The hard drive on my Macbook died and i lost everything.

A week ago my MacBook died apple were going to see if any data was still on the hard drive, they called today and said that i lost everything. Three years of work gone. I cant believe it.
Just before the Mac died i had put all my music on Apple TV, does anyone know if you can pull all the songs and data back from apple tv.
Does anyone know of a good but cheap company who might be able to recover the data.
Pls let this be a lesson to everyone BACK UP!
All music Gone!
All Pictures Gone!
All emails Gone!
Everything Gone!
A fresh hard drive, im totally gutted :-((

If this was a warranty repair then you are out of luck. Under the terms of the warranty if they replaced your defective drive with a new one then the old one becomes their property. If you want it back you will have to pay them or attempt to work out some other arrangement with the but they are not going to just let you borrow it without some security. I would not take that chance either and if it was your business you would not either. Apple has to have the drive to send back to the vendor for credit. How do they know that you will return it?
There are no "cheap recovery services" If you send it off be prepared to spend a lot of money. Drive Savers and the others can do it, but it isn't cheap. I have never checked but have heard that the prices run in to the many thousands of dollars even for small drives.
I guess it depends on how valuable the data is to you.

I have a power mac and the hard drive is about to die, i have a new hard drive to install, i know how to remove and put the old in the second space and load the new one, then what...when do reinstall the OS and transfer data from old drive

I have a power mac, the hard drive is struggling, I have a new hard drive ready to install, after I pull the old one and put the new one it's place and place the old one in the next slot ready to transfer data....how do I start this next step. Do I down load OS, and go to utililities...please just a step by step after hard drives in position.

Hi Susan, you must have a Mac Pro, Powermacs cannot run 10.6.x
Anyway, once you Install the new drive, you likely must Format it...

Then Install the OS & on first boot of the new install, after a step or two, avail yourself of Migration Assistant & Migrate everything.

The hard drive on my computer recently failed and was replaced. How do I get my playlist from my iPod to iTunes on my computer?

Recently, my hard drive crashed and we were unable to transfer my iTunes playlist to the new hard drive. I have all of my music on my iPod Touch. How can I copy it all back to my computer? Thanks!

iDevices are not backup devices.
Use the backup of the computer to put everything back.

HT2291 I installed Itunes on mu laptop.I down;oaded some music. The hard drive on that computer crashed. How do i get my Itunes library from the other computer to put on my new computer?

How do i get my Itunes library from my crashed hard drive to put on my new computer? The old computer had Windows Vista and the new computer has Windows 8.

It will only be where you put it.
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 transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases.
