Only the iTunes purchases will/can be transfered via iTunes. To grt all see:

Ipod touch and new computer!

I had installed itunes on my old computer, the hard drive failed and I had to insall a new hard drive, having done so when I plug in my Ipod touch it indicates that I have to resync my ipod to the new machine, but this will mean I lose all my music.
Is there anyway, in these circumstances, to keep my music and get my iPod to sync to the new machine?
Thanks in advance.

You can try a 3rd party program (at your risk, this is neither supported nor endorsed by Apple).
Otherwise, yes, the music is gone.
You should at least transfer your purchases to the new machine and then backup to an external source.

Look into downloading some type of iRip software! Allows you to transfer music from iPod to iTunes.

How to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library computer crash without wiping out "library" on ipod touch

how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

Disabled iPod Touch, and originatting computer gone.

My iPod Touch has been disabled. (My kid tried to get into it). The computer I originally linked it to has been stolen. How do I restore my iPod Touch, and keep the content stored- it has all my pix that were on the computer that was stolen. Appreciate any advice. Thanks, and Happy New
Year!!

greetings QueenSher, and welcome to Apple discussions.
i assume you have a new computer then ? try this:
1) to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command ( on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the ipod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes.
2) check this post by Zevoneer to retrieve files from your iPod.
also, especially for photos, click here for information.
good luck !

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
Thanks very much --

IPod Touch and New PC

My computer died, and I have a new one now, and I can not figure out how to copy the music from my iPod to my new computer, and it won't sync with my new computer with out erasing all my music.

- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a thirdparty program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- When everything is on the computer, connect the iPod to the compute and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include media like apps, music and other items synced to the iPod.

Problem with Ipod Touch and new software (2.2.1)

After upgrading to the 2.2.1 I have been unable to listen to it using my car stereo. It will only recognize my ipod sometimes and when it does a majority of the time there will be no sound at all. On my car stereo it shows my playlists and everything but no sound. I never once had a problem with my ipod or stereo until I did this upgrade. I tried switching out the usb cord but that did not help. I then restored my Ipod. I also tried to wipe out the battery completely and then charge (heard on a different message board that that could possibly help). Still having the problem though. I have an Ipod touch and a Pioneer stereo with the USB cable hook up.

yeah i'm having the same problem i have a pioneer navigation system and it will not play my ipod touch after upgrading to 2.2 i called apple to try to find a way to downgrade and they never gave me an answer

Using headset with ipod touch and Skype

Trying to use headset with jack adapter on ipod touch using skype. Audio out is fine but mic doesn't seem to work. Will this work, or will I have to switch to the Apple earbuds with mic?

I have successfully tested Skype using a $20 pair of GE ear buds with microphone. It used the correct iPod Touch earphone/microphone jack.
I've also used this with voice recorder software, and so has my wife.

Download restore file and 3.0 for Ipod touch and ipods*****************

I need restore a couple of my ipod and I also need to download the 3.0 for my ipod touch. my problem is that im out to sea and when I get to about 170mb it fails and I have to start all over. 1st question why in apple's infinate wisdom did they not allow you resume download and 2nd is there a way to restore without having to connect to the internet?
I bought the 3.0 for my touch and it frustrating because i will have been running the download for 5 hours and to have it fail *****.....

my problem is that im out to sea and when I get to about 170mb it fails and I have to start all over
That's probably more to do with your internet connection than any problem with Apple's servers, otherwise other people would be suffering the same. Maybe you need to try again on a more reliable and faster internet connection when you can.
1st question why in apple's infinate wisdom did they not allow you resume download and
If you pause the download in the download queue you can resume it.
2nd is there a way to restore without having to connect to the internet?
The restore process does not need a connection to the internet, but obviously you need an internet connection to actually download the update before restoring commences.
