It happens to everyone. There computer breaks down with all there music on it!!! :eek: Well i thought I would send out this tutorial to explain to people on how to get there music off there iPod back into there computer.
1. Once your computer is up and running DO NOT put iTunes back on yet. You will eventually but it will erase your iPod.
2. Go into My Documents > My Music and make a folder ( call it whatever you want) this will hold your music.
3. While your in this folder click on Tools > Folder Options > View Tab > and under Hidden Files and Folders click on Show hidden files and folders.
4. Now connect your iPod your computer.
5. When it connects go into your iPod through My Computer and double click on iPod_Control
6. In this folder there is a Music folder. Right click and copy this folder to your new folder you created in My Music.
7. Lastly unplug your iPod, install itunes and go file, add folder to library. (when you add the folder, make sure it is the first folder you created not the music folder. If you don't it will not work
I hope this helps those ipod people that hate losing their music.
Any questions, just give me a shout

I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

If you're on a Mac, look for an app named Senuti, this works well, and automatically copies your music across for you.

Yes it will, but make sure that your account is authorized before you put the music back on...otherwise it will say that this music does not belong to you

Lost all my iTunes music but still on my iPod, so uninstalled iTunes (hoping to follow your guide above) my iPod touch is in device manager and says it's charging - but not in 'My Computer' for some reason?

You must do the "Show hidden files and folders" step are you sure you did not miss it. I backed up my iTunes and tried this. It worked B E A UTIFUL.
Some of my work.
