So the computer i used for my itunes was completely wiped out. I redownloaded itunes and i can get my purchased songs off my ipod, but is there a way to sync my ipod to the new itunes without wiping out all the songs on it? I'm pretty much attached to all my old songs :(

i am pretty sure there's this program called senuti (itunes backwards) that you can use to get all the songs from your ipod onto itunes without messing stuff up. my cousin was talking to some guy at the mac store he said it was actually legit they just cant say anything about it because it's not an apple application.

i totally forget where you can download it though lemme ask my cousin

If you set your itunes to manual instead of automatically adding your music then it should be fine.

download that.  if your iPod is set up to not Automatically update whenever you plug it in, plug you iPod in, open that program, and after that it is really self explanatory.

heres instructions on how to go into your iPod from your computer (if its wondows) and get all your songs from your iPod.
1. open up control panel, go to folder options and make change it so that you can access hidden folders. (show all hidden folders)
2. go to "my computer" and right click your iPod and choose explore.
3. now go to iPod_Control
4. click music
5 you will now see multiple folders called f00, f01, f02 etc. select all of these and drag them into your iTunes library
6. voila! your songs
