My daughter's computer crashed, and with it, her entire iPod library. Does anybody know any way to download what's on an iPod, onto a computer?

I know, back up everything.......

I know that there is a way to do it. You may want to look around this forum

I think I read about it there. Good luck.

Ok. This is looking much more hopeful. Now I gotta figure out how to go to the bad hard drive and try to save more of her lost pictures. One thing at a time.....

Moody, worst case scenario there are businesses who will rescue data off your hard drive.

When you say the computer "crashed" what do you mean? Do you know the HD is faulty, or you just can't get the computer to work? If you get nothing at all when you try and turn it on, that is often the best case scenario as either the switch (cheap as chips) or the power supply (not so cheap, but doable) have died.

If it is some part of the electronics somewhere, then the HD may be fine.

Oz, you gotta get out more, or at least get a teenager who can explain things like ipods to you

I should have been more specific. It got sick. Caught a virus.

I, personally, had an iTouch. It was fine, but it got stolen recently. Now I'm using a 2G (2G=2Small) until I can get a new 16G Nano, and I'm finding that for my purposes (music only), the Nano is much better.

I want one in red.....
