Restoring iPod on new PC?

I have a new PC which I have to install itunes again. When I do this, will the songs on my iPod automatically restore on the PC? Thanks guys.

You're going to need to transfer all your songs somehow.

There is a option on the File menu that says "Transfer purchases from...". You have to authorize your computer for those purchasesherbasher

[QUOTE="herbasher"][QUOTE="JustPlainLucas"]No it won't. It will be wiped clean. You'll have to look for some software that will pull the music off the iPod, so you can import the music back into iTunes. I had to do this when my old laptop crashed.JustPlainLucas

You have two options:

- Hook up the ipod but do NOT open itunes. Make sure you can view hidden files and folders. Go to "My Computer" and access your ipod. You should be able to pull off the music that way. The downside is that all the file titles are just random sequences of four letters (like RBDF.mp3 and WEGH.mp3) so if you use this method you'll have to painstakingly go through your whole collection and rename every file. On the brightside itunes can still decode them so if you don't listen to your music outside of itunes/ipod this won't be a problem at all.

- Download one of the many ipod transfer programs available on the internet and use it to pull your songs off.
