Do you mean transfer the songs from your ipod to a new computer with itunes?

If so google "transferring music from ipod to computer". You will get a ton of step by step instructions. It's a bit of a PITA, and there are always a few songs that won't work, typically because they got on your ipod through someone else purchasing them on their itunes account. If you backed up your PC you can just plug in the external drive and back up the songs. You can authorize a couple computers to play your purchased music.

If you are willing to pay $29 there is a program called media widget that you can download to your computer. It works easily and will transfere everything from your iPod to iTunes.

Open iTunes, log into your account.... hook up your iPhone/iPod to the Mac.... it will tell you it found purchased items on your device, and ask if you want to sync them to your computer... say yes. Then let it do it's thing.
