ok people im not computer gifted so here’s what happend.

Recently My computer got a nasty virus that cause some of my icons to dissappear on my desktop. most notably my itunes, so i decided to download it again and like i imagined my music i had wouldnt be on there. so is there anyway i can get it all back in my iTunes library? All the songs are in my iPod, but is there a way to get them to the library?

Yes there is. I used his method before and it worked for me,
but there might be a quicker way.

Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer
DO NOT CONNECT THE IPOD YET
Open iTunes
Open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running
Connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing
Open ‘My Computer’
Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable ’show hidden files /folders’
Open iPod icon in My Computer
Open iPod_Control folder
You should see a folder named Music
Drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive
After the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and select ‘Properties’
Cear the checkmark next to ‘Hidden’
Close that explorer window
Eject iPod from System tray “Safely Remove Hardware” icon. This icon looks like a small gray rectangle with a green arrow floating above it. It’s only there when a removable device (like the iPod in this case) is attached to the computer.
Right-click & select ‘Safely remove..’, then click ‘Stop’ in the next window, OK in the next window, and then Close to complete the ejection.
Disconnect the iPod from the computer
Go back to iTunes, cancel the preferences window
File menu \ Add folder to Library \ find that Music folder copied over from the iPod
Your iTunes library should be back in action!
