I can't get music from my iPod to my new computer.

[NeedsHelpALot]

I bought a new computer.
I need to get my iPods music onto my new computers iTunes.
I know how to do this.
You go to Tools > Folder Options > View, and then check the option that
basically says "Show Hidden files and what-not". This makes it so I can see
all the music on the iPod and save them to the Hard-drive. From the
hard-drive I can just transfer it to iTunes.
But I can't view those hidden files. When I got back into Folder Options, it
shows that when I checked "Show Hidden Files" it actually went back to
default (do NOT show hidden files [which is NOT what I need])

To sum it all up. It won't let me view hidden files.

P.S I also tried to checked "Display the contents of system folders"
I also unchecked "hide protected operating systems....."

P.P.S I also tried it vice-versa from "P.S"

Those things are worthless to me. I have one here, sitting on my table, that
I paid $150 for, and I can neither put anything in it, or get anything out
of it. The web site that is supposed to do this for me has printing way too
small and weak (no contrast) so I cannot read it. I would gladly pay for
each song, but the teenagers are so desperate to cheat the system that the
designers of the websites have had to instigate protection such that people
in my age group find it impossible to use them. Even when I get my
grandchildren to try to load it for me, they cannot find the songs I want to
hear hiding in the huge pile of crap that passes for popular music nowadays.
I would have to listen to a hundred songs in order to find the one I want,
and even then, it would probably pass by me undetected, because the
"introduction" is all I will get to hear, and it probably won't have enough
of the main melody for me to recognize. By the time those hundred, "songs"
have gone by, I am fast asleep. The music is so bad and tuneless that it
would put anyone with half an ear to sleep. Obviously, the world has grown
way to complicated for geezers like me to navigate. Sometime around 1950,
human beings contracted a genetic disease that affected their ability to
hear and distinguish pretty tunes from utter crap. And, the ocean of
tuneless noise that has resulted from this has washed away all traces of
melodic inspiration from the world of popular music that was so beautiful in
my youth.......A pity, really.....
