I have a 3rd generation ipod for windows that was formated to itunes via my old laptop. Question #1, how do I sync it on a new iTunes on my new desktop? Question #2 - How can I take my music from my ipod and store it on my external hardrive?
I had 6000 songs on my old external hard drive which has FRIED! Please help me rescue some of my music via my ipod! THANKS!!

The first time you plug the iPod into the new computer, iTunes will ask you if you want to synchronized your iPod with this iTunes library or the old one. If you have no music in the new iTunes library you will be losing everything on your iPod if you say yes.
You can try setting the iPod to "use as an external disk" in iTunes.
I've never actually done this, but in theory it should allow you to get the music off the iPod an onto the new computer. Suggest you read up on it in the help section under itunes.

there's a free/shareware program called copypod. It will transfer songs from an ipod to itunes, although it only lets you transfer 100 songs at time.
there's a pay program that I use called PD+Rescue. It copies the songs as well. Go by CompUSA they have PD+ rescue and about 4 other programs that do the same thing. you shoulnd't have to pay more than $30 for one.
That's the answer to both your #1 and #2 question.
Main thing though--make sure that your ipod is set to manual sync. with auto sync, you risk having your ipod erased.
