Hello, i recently had to restore my laptop which means my previous itunes library is gone. Before i restored my laptop, i saved my old library on an external harddrive. So i was wondering if the was a way to get my old itunes library in the new library

how do you put music from ipod thats synced with another library on to a new library without erasing anything. i recently had to restore m laptop to factory settings and of course my itunes is the same. i have a lot of music and pictures and it would take days to redownload all of it.

iPod touch, Windows 8

That is covered here:

iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

What kind of photos are you talking about?

Ones in the iPod's Camera Roll album are included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes. Photos synced to the iPod or not and they are not in your iTunes library either. You have to back those up separately.

Also the iPod backup that iTunes makes is not included in your iTunes library. It location is listed here:

iTunes: About iOS backups. So back that up too.
