if you plug your ipod in it will delete all the music on the ipod (its happened to me ) call apple and see if you can get it restored ( you better hope you save the music recetes ) if not the you can make a new acount and start fresh.

Yes. Plug in your iPod. When it asks if you want to reconnect it like to iTunes, say no. Enable the option that allows you to see hidden folders. To do this - if you have Windows XP, go to Control Panel > Appearence and Themese > Folder Options > View Tab > under Hidden files or folders, press Show hidden files and folers, then press ok. Now go to My Computer, open your iPod drive, click on the folder that says music [one that is almost transparent]. You will probably see a bunch of folders that are also transparent. What you want to do is copy all those folders (Ctrl+A), then paste it somewhere else on your computer, like your My Documents folder or wherever else you'd like. Once you paste it [it will take awhile if you have a lot of music], take that same group that you pasted and drag it to the Library icon in iTunes. It should upload [again, takes awhile]. Final result will be songs from your iPod now are on your computer. Hope that helped, if you are unclear about anything or have further questions drop one in my inbox, and good luck.
