installing itunes on new pc

i fried the mother board on my old pc and have just gotten a new pc i tried to putting itunes on to my new pc it went on ok but did not
recognize my ipod how can i get itunes on to my new pc ?

 

Is your iPod showing up in 'My Computer'?

 

yea it is

 

Then format the iPod by right clicking it in 'My Computer' and pressing 'Format'. This should put it back to factory state and have it show up in iTunes.

 

if i format it will i not loose all my tracks?

 

Yes you will, but if you have the songs in iTunes still you can just sync them again. ;-)

 

i dont have them on itunes i deleted them after i put them onto my pod no a very smart thing to do

 

If you want to save your tracks there is a a way to get them to your computer from your ipod. go to the site below and they have a couple of different programs to try and help with that but i am not sure how well they work.

I also believe that there is a way to do it without a program but i do not know how that works but you can always try to google it

 

Use this guide to get the songs from your iPod to your computer:
