Our computer is acting up and often freezes so we are going to make a new slate and just wipe the whole thing. We don't want to lose any of our files that won't remain when we redo our computer so how do you transfer all of your files onto a USB pen? Thanks.
Answer
Unless your USB pen is over 80GB which I doubt, you will not be able to save everything to it. The files that you want to save are most likely documents, pictures, music, videos etc... Depending on the size of the USB pen drive you can save this fairly easily. Here is a quick tutorial
As long as you have been saving your files in the usual locations you can just go here.
C:\Documents and Settings
assuming you are using a windows XP or later save each folder for each user on your computer. This will work with most if not all of your files you would want to save.
If you are at all uncomfortable with losing anything then I recommend paying someone to save the files for you.
Here is a website you can use that has a more detailed walkthrough and offers software that can walk you through the process.

How to transfer my songs from the computer to hard drive with itunes?
Steve T
Basically I want to take all my songs off of my C drive and put it onto my external hard drive. But the problem is I use itunes as my music player, and anytime you move a song, itunes doesn't recognize it, and makes you browse for the song since it moved. Is there any way I can move all my music but make my itunes still play all my songs?
Answer
Although iTunes program is very good at keeping a computer-based library synchronized to an iPod automatically it provides exreamly limited functionality for transferring info in the opposite direction-from your iPod back to your computer. one of the likely reasons for Apple to have taken such a restrictive approach to this is to combat piracy and thereby maintain good relations with the music brands that are selling their selling their content via Apple iTunes Store. so it has therefore fallen into the three party developers to pick up where iTunes left off in this regard. and i give a high recommendation to Anisoft iBackup,which is very robust and full-featured utilitie that will do everything from basic coping of media content back to your hard drive all the way through to rebuilding your entire library using the info on your iPod,complete with playlists,ratings ,and play count info.Among all these apps i would like to recommend Aniosoft ibackup.it enables you to transfer iPod's music and other content to any storage device and iTunes as well. And both the backup in the storage device can be recovered and restored with no any change and no any risk.And the data in the iTunes is quite in accord with the iPod's data including its playlists,rating and etc.
So in your case,you can make a music transfer from your iPod to the iTunes in your computer with this tool and also make a backup for the ipod's content somewhere in your computer as well.
There is a note that needs your attention,you have to turn off the auto sync of the iTunes before you can make this transfer.
