I have an iPod Touch 4th generation running on iOS 4. For various reasons, I don't have a copy of all my songs on my computer running Windows 7 with iTunes 11. Is there a way to export my whole library, which contains both songs purchased on iTunes and songs ripped from CDs, to iTunes or elsewhere on my computer?

Try going to the App store on the iPod and purchasing a free app. It will ask you for your App Store account credentials. Once this works, try syncing again. It should then move across all the apps. Make sure that Syncing apps is ticked in iTunes too (by default it is but check anyway).
Hope that helps.
You need to tell iTunes not to sync those songs.
- Uncheck the songs you do not want to sync in the iTunes "Music" list.
- Check "Sync only checked songs and Videos" in the options for the device.

The only means I have ever found of doing this is third-party software. I have used Senuti for this, and can confirm that it works.
The current version of Senuti: http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/. The free trial version allows you to restore up to 1000 songs. There is also a fully-free version from 2008 [MD5 (Senuti.0.52.dmg) = e84ebf4614ded95c53dc750492297c87] at http://wstein.org/senuti/, but though the source code is available (there and at SourceForge), it has not been maintained, and I have not confirmed that it still works. (You can get an older version from the developer, too.)
There is also TouchCopy: http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy. It appears to be very complete but is expensive, and the trial version is more limiting than is that of Senuti.
