First of all, when connecting your iPod to your computer, be sure to click " NO" if you recieve a message like this: "This iPod is linked to another computer. Would you like to replace the content?"

Then, onto the iPod-to-computer transfer:

There are a few different methods with transferring iPod songs to your computer.

These include:

--- Manually transfer your iPod songs to iTunes. See MacMuse's posting here: iPod songs to computer (MacMuse post)

--- Add your iPod's folder into the iTunes library (via iTunes). See Jeff Bryan's post here: Using iTunes settings to transfer iPod songs to iTunes

--- Use a third-party program to get the transferring done. For a Windows computer, CopyPod should work good. Also, you can try out YamiPod.

I hope that helps you. 🙂
