Can I import from an iPod?

A little while ago I wiped my computer in entirety: I even removed the OS and reinstalled from the ground up. Before doing this, I tried to salvage all of my music and pictures, and various other documents, but my music collection bizarrely vanished, and I'm left with an empty iTunes library and an iPod full of music I want back on my PC. I am, however, at a loss as to how I go about doing this. I'm pretty sure syncing them will wipe my iPod, and I'm not very keen on trying it, so if anyone has a solution, I'd be quite gracious to hear it.

Hey there,
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
If you have any purchased from the iTunes store, it would be a good idea to sign in onto hisyour account and authorize the computer. Also, when you plug it in, make sure to hit "Cancel" if it opens up iTunes and asks you if you would like to Transfer Purchses, or Erase and Sync. Hope this helps.

    You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available.  You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

  • My itunes library has gone following a laptop rebuild.  I do have my iPod which is up to date - can I transfer from the iPod to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I snyc?

    My itunes library has gone and is empty following a laptop rebuild.  I do have my iPod which is up to date with music, photos, apps etc - can I transfer from the iPod Touch to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I sync to the laptop?  PLEASE HELP!

    I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
    iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
    iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
    4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
    Hope this helps

    I have bought a Sandisk 8gb memory stick but can't import from iphoto onto it...help???

    No I haven't formatted it, but don't really know how to either? I am a bit of a newbie at this and thought i just had to buy any memory stick and it would work. can you suggest how to format it for FAT32 ( I don't know what this is either ) as I will be using the memory stick for windows also at a later date.
    Thanks for your reply

  • Can't import from Cannon HV20.

    I can't import from my Cannon HV20. The camera does not show up as an external camera. I just get the message "to import video, please connect a camera". I get the same message when connecting to my laptop and I have tried two different firewire cables. I have gone through the settings on the camera and I don't see anything that would prevent it. I have the camera in play mode and powered on. I have successfully imported from this camera many times. This started yesterday when I plugged the camera in while using ichat and ichat crashed. I suspect the firewire connection on the camera is damaged.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem with a different camera.
    I have used my Sony TRV27 Handycam in making movies primarily with iMovie 6.0.3 on my former G5. It did record from the camera to iMovie 7.1.4 on my Intel core 2 but now can't get in to import to either program 6.0.3 or 7.1.4. It will not recognize that the camera is attached or switch the camera icon to camera mode. If it does it only shows Built in iSight or Time Lapses.
    I prefer to use the older iMovie camera because of the options and familiarity of it. I do not care for the newer iMovie program format.
    I went to the system profiler as suggested and found firewire but have no idea what the Firewire Device Tree looks like nor did I see anything on the right except Firewire Bus speed.
    I have been using the cord from Sony in the past to import movies. My computer does not show the camera even though in Finder/Preferences connected services are checked to show up on the desk top.
    I phoned Apple Care today and got virtually no help. The gentleman kept saying it was the camera that was at fault. Or it was the ? slot in the computer that wasn't working. They both work. I checked. I see by posts a lot of other camera owners are having similar problems.

  • Can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6

    I can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6.01 HD. Am using Macbook Pro, 2 gig of RAM. This is my first time NOT using tape. I can copy the files off the memory card onto an external drive (to free up the card for pro crew's next day's shoot), but can't import either to FCP. Do I need to convert the files in some way before FCP can read them? Need to fix this problem fast as the crew are off to Nepal for 2 week shoot.

    Laura,
    First, I'm assuming that you're referring to the XDCAM EX. You'll need to install the FCP 6.0.2 upgrade, which contains the XDCAM EX codecs.
    Second, You'll need to install the PDZK-P1 Transfer Application, and use that to import your EX clips into FCP. I just noticed that there is a new version available, 2.5.1 which is labeled specifically for Tiger/Leopard. I haven't tested this version yet, and will report back on any stability issues. We're currently running version 2.1.1, without many issues.

  • Can't import from LR 3 to PSE 10

    Installed Photoshop Elements 10 and can't import from LR 3 for external editing. Any suggestions? I've already tried deleting the LR and PSE .plist files.

    So basically I uninstalled Photoshop Elements 10 trial version. I uninstalled LR4 upgrade version. After reading about all the on line grief that people have been having with LR4, why go there? Sounds like more hype with a wopping side order of hooey. Did the online text conversation with Adobe support person prior to logging on to this forum and his only suggestion was call tech support Monday. Uninstalled and reinstalled LR 3.6. Uninstalled and reinstalled PS CS3. Everything works perfectly like it did before. Why or why did I waste  all my time with supposedly compatible upgrades? First time I've really been disappointed with Adobe. Hope it's the last.

  • Running LR 5.6 on OSX 10.9.4.  Can't import from Canon 7D. Any ideas?

    Running LR 5.6 on OSX 10.9.4.  Can't import from Canon 7D. Any ideas?

    For future reference, if there is an error message, you should probably quote it in your original message on the subject.
    "Could not be read" indicates that you do not have WRITE permission to the destination directory when you try to import, so change your permissions.
    "not recognized" might indicate the camera card itself is corrupted or the card reader is failing ... or the problem might go away if you change your permissions.

  • May I have my ipod touch in the universal doc and stream to an airport in the same moment? Can I stream from my Ipod touch to two airports simultanouesly?

    may I have my ipod touch in the universal doc and stream to an airport in the same moment? Can I stream from my Ipod touch to two airports simultanouesly?

    Thank you edex76 for your answers!
    Maybe I haven't been precise enough in the first question: When the ipod touch is in the universal doc and plays music, is it htan possible possible to stream music to an APE and hear music that comes from universal doc by chinch cable?
    And on the scond: Do you think one could name the two APE in the very same way? Maybe that would help to stream to two APE in the very same moment ..?
    Cheers!

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.
