Option 1:
Assuming you're moving files legally between your own computers, check out iPodAgent at http://www.ipodsoft.com/
________________________________
Option 2:
The manual way around this problem is to use the iPod in its alter ego - that of portable computer disk drive. Successfully tested under iTunes for Windows 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7; Windows XP Home.
- Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer - DON'T CONNECT IPOD YET
- open iTunes
- open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running
- connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing
- open 'My Computer'
- Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable 'show hidden files /folders'
- open iPod icon in My Computer
- open iPod_Control folder
- you should see a folder named music
- drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive
- after the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and select 'Properties'
- clear the checkmark next to 'Hidden'
- Close that explorer window
- eject iPod from System tray "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. This icon looks like a small gray rectangle with a green arrow floating above it. It's only there when a removable device (like the iPod in this case) is attached to the computer. Right-click & select 'Safely remove..', then click 'Stop' in the next window, OK in the next window, and then Close to complete the ejection.
- disconnect the iPod from the computer
- go back to iTunes, cancel the preferences window
- File menu \ Add folder to Library \ find that Music folder copied over from the iPod
Your iTunes library should be back in action! But wait - there's more!!
Long time forum regular Otto42 has a java script/program that can also retrieve the playlists themselves from the iPod as well. Here are his instructions and a link to the most recent thread discussing this tricky process:
] This is really useful when you're pulling all the songs off of an iPod to put them back into iTunes, because you lost your library or anything along those lines. Come up with your own reason for using it.
] Download this program:
http://otto.homedns.org:8888/iTunes/iPodGetXML.zip
(If you can't download it, try again later. The connection goes up and down a lot.)
] Now, put the iPod into Disk Mode or otherwise access the iPod as a drive. Make sure you can see hidden files, then go to the drive and the iPod_Control folder and find the iTunesDB file. Copy it to your PC.
] Put the copied iTunesDB file in the same directory as this program, then run the program. It'll read the iTunesDB, get all the playlists, and create an XML file for each one. Now just import those XML files into iTunes to recreate the playlists.
] Notes:
- The songs in playlist must already be in the iTunes library. If any one of them isn't there, iTunes throws up an error when you try to import the XML file.
- The song names, artist names, and album names in the library all must be identical as to what the iPod has. If you just copied all the music off the iPod and into iTunes, this will be the case, so it's generally not a big deal. but you'll get an error if it can't find the song in the iTunes library, so it's something to keep in mind.
- It probably won't be able to cope with unusual characters in song names. Sorry, not worth my time to fix. Dealing with unicode is way annoying.
- Smart Playlists get changed into regular playlists. It's *possible* for me to add the smart playlist stuff in there, but it'll take a while to work it all out.

Answer
if u have the os cds or the Windows Xp Vista Cd that installs Windows Xp or VIsta for u plug the cd in go to the boot menu and click the cd when the screen shows up clear ur whole hard drive i did this to my Pc from 2003 thts in my dads room now after i tuned it up for lik 6months i know about a lot of problems i had when i fixed it i kno a lot first of all get virus programs wait here
1. Save all your data u want on portable harddrive or flash drive
2. write down all the applications you have on your pc u want to have on ur pc after its back to new or w/e
3. first thing create account then load everything
4. i would disconnect the interent for a while and install programs from cds if u have any
5. clean the dust from inside ur pc
6. buy some ram if u want but make sure u kno how to open a pc and install part befor u even think about opening it up
7. after that get virus protection if u dont have any ur lik me i brought NOrton 360v2 and it socks badly so my dad didnt want to buy another one
8. a computer needs 1 antivirus 1 firewall and 1+ spyware malaware worms scanner plus u need registry cleaners hard drive cleaners etc
i got lik 12 apps i use and my pc is safe heres wat u should get (there all free just need a email address for some well lik 1) Ill give u most of mine the most important not all
Anti virus- Avast 4.8 Home Edition or Avira i lik Avast better in my opinion
Firewall-COMODO Internet Security
Spyware etc- Advanced SystemCare
Spybot - Search & Destroy
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
those should protect u first things first after installing set all those up please take your time
oh ya Comando dosnt install correctly so Install it twice intill u see it pop up and make sure u set ur internet back up cause comando blocks it sometimes intill u configure it oh and always click allow this request if ur not sure look it up on google read the name or click the file and if its in a safe place allow it if ur not sure i would allow it cause avast will get the virus anyways good luck
these might slow down ur pc but those are recommanded all the best
hope u kno about computers
