TS4062 My original computer crashed need help trasnfering music

My orginal computer crashed and I bought a new computer and downloaded itunes i lost most of my music (no problem I just reloaded it from the cds) but now I can not get the music to sync like it did before. Could it be due to me trying to back up my info on the cloud? Right now when I plug the phone into the computer via usb cord I am told that itunes cannot find the computer and that I need to return to factory settings. I really don't want to have to do that. Any help would be wonderful

Computer Crashed need help!!!

My computer crashed and I had to get a new computer...I lost all of my itunes songs in my library but I still have them all on my ipod..is there any way I can get them onto my new computer??? I also have Windows not a Mac.

Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2).
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod.

As you may have already found out that while we can transfer music from iTunes to an iPod, we cannot transfer music from iPod to iTunes.
You need to move your music from your iPod to your new iTunes and one of the ways that you can do this is with the help of a third party software.
Please read [*_This Discussion Thread_*|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10570955#10570955] and pay particular attention to the post from Zevoneer. In his post all available software is listed which you can use to accomplish what you want. Most of the software is free. Good Luck.

Computer crashed, need to get music off my ipod onto new harddrive. Is this even possible anymore?

My computer crashed and I got a new hardrive. I need to get my music off my Ipod Touch 4th gen onto my new computer...is it even possible anymore?

For iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
For other music you need a third-pary program like one of those discussed here:

Itouch stolen and computer crashed - need help recovering

Hope someone can help with this. My touch was stolen at the beginning of the week. Followed up by a motherboard crash on my Dell.
I've pulled the hard drive and put it into an external case and attached it to my netbook which is an authorized computer. I can't deauthorize the old computer.
So now I've got an iPhone4 and would like to get all my music, purchased and otherwise onto my netbook and synced with my iPhone.
I did a search on restore from backup but didn't really find a solution as I don't have the touch any more.
Any help on figuring out how to work through this would be appreciated.

Update 10.6.3 update made my computer crash, need help

last night i saw the update and so i started the update on my late 2008 model macbook pro. it went fine up to about 98% then a box popped up and stated an error has occurred and was not successful in installing. it then said to restart, to which i did and now during the apple logo when the circle dash thing spins, it just does that and wont get past this point. i tried even safe mode and the bar gets about halfway and then goes away and it starts spinning. i just tried a PRAM test and still nothing. any suggestions on what to do guys. i heard about sometimes you can get a firmware patch from apple and put it on cd and it can repair something. i have no clue but would like to know what to do. my 1 year warranty is also up and dont want to shell out money to apple.

I had this happen too, I updated it two nights ago and haven't used it since. I turned it on last night around seven after not using all day and the entire screen had different hues of purple. I called Apple and they weren't any help. They told me that I needed to make an appointment for the following Thursday. I told them I was a college student and it didn't seem to matter to them how much I needed my laptop. I later called Best Buy (whom I purchased it from) and they told me to do a safe boot which "fixes" some bugs (you can do this by powering on your macbook while holding the shift key) it worked for a while but then it seemed to not work on a normal boot (i.e restarting). I guess we'll see what happens during my appointment at the genius bar.

Computer crash need help

I was running a core 2 duo my drives were set up in a raid config with Vista O.S. one of the drives failed and i lost everything I had pic, music, video. this was the week after i sent back myworld book external drive for a failure. Turn out there was a lighting strike and i ended up losing a printer as well. the only bright side to this whole mess is all the music i had is on my IPOD classic 160GB. Is there any way to import the music onto my new system? or is it lost forever PS i am now running quad core O.S. xp

Hey there,
There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
When you plug it in, make sure to hit cancel if it opens up iTunes and asks you if you would like to transfer purchses, or erase and sync.

Old Computer Crashed, Need to transfer music from iPod

My old computer recently crashed, with it my iTunes. I have my iPod Nano (3G) and I was wondering if there is a way to move the music on my iPod to the iTunes. All of the music on my iPod was not always purchased on the iTunes store. Help!

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod (they will copy music purchased from iTunes and also music from other sources). You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows

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

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Having issues with low memory that is causing some of my apps to crash, need help please !!!

Is the device actually showing low memory errors?
What is really occurring?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
