how to transfer music from my ipod touch to my computer

Same way:

iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

What exactly happens when you try to sync?

Does iTunes see the iPod?

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?

Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?

If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?

Do the songs play in iTunes?

Does any media now sync to the iPod?

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

Try syncing using the manual method

Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

Last, backup and then restore from backup. Not that any synced media like apps and music that are not in your iTunes library will be lost:

Just sync it. iTunes doesn't care where your music came from.

If the hard drive on your iMac was still working, you could also pull the drive out of that old iMac, mount the drive in an external case, and transfer your iTunes library to your new MBA that way.

iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
