Exporting songs on iPod

I have an iPod loaded with a large amount of music I would like to transfer to another machine; this songs were in a library on a WinXP machine that were trashed, now I would like to restore the library from the iPod.
I can find no tangible way of doing this. Any help is appreciated,

Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Is it possible to export songs from Ipod to library in itunes?

    I need help, i cant figure out how to transfer songs from ipod to my computer Music Library and its really annoying me, please help, thanks

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Export Songs from iPod to the iTune Bibliothek

    Dear discussion forum,
    I am a new iPod user. I bought the big one with the colour screen (5th generation???).
    A friend of mine put songs into the iPod. Now I want to export them from my iPod to the bibliothek of iTune.
    I did not find any hint (at least I did not see it) how to do that.
    Might be someone could help me?
    Kind regards

    Tschüß Helmut,
    I am sorry, but you cannot do this, as it is illegal. By the way, bibliothek is called a library in English

  • Ipod Touch - Garageband - export song to Itunes - Windows 7

    Hello !
    I have a problem:
    How can I export a song in Ipod Touch to Itunes (my Windows 7 PC) ?
    If I share it with Itunes, I cannot find the song on my Windows PC in Itunes.
    Who can I help me ?
    I just want to save my songs to my PC.
    Thank you in advance !
    tracky

    You can try going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and then try setting up via iTunes. If still problem then set up via wifi and go to an Apple Store
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:         
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   

  • Restored computer to original settings need to export new songs to ipod

    Ok this is a two part question. I recently erased and reinstalled tiger osx. im new to the world of ipod so i did not know that erasing all the songs on itunes would put it out of synch with the computer. i thought it might and tried deleting a couple hundred and the updated the ipod but all the song were still on the ipod. So my question is this: is there a program that i can use to export new songs to ipod with out erasing whats on there already? i tried to drag the itunes folder onto the ipod icon but that did not work. The ipod i have is a 30gig video. second part of the question is if i have to import all the songs from ipod to the computer how woould i do that seeing that it is not in sych anymore.
    thanks for the help

    When I try to transfer, I get the error message "Some of the purchased items in the iPod could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized to play them on this computer.

    First off, you say you purchased a 5th gen. iPod. Since the latest version is the clip-on 6th gen., I wonder if that's what you mean, or did you get a used (or old, but never used) 5th gen.? You might also check the OS requirements for the iPod you have, and see if the version of iTunes is compatible with your OS. I had to upgrade my OS to go from my old Classic 160 to a new Nano 6th gen.
    As you have guessed, the exclamation mark means that even though you have a particular song in your iTunes library, the file that it points to is no longer where iTunes thinks it should be. This may be because iTunes is confused (in which case you would resolve the confusion), or it's gone (in which case you need to get a new copy, or remove the song from iTunes if you don't want to keep it). I'm not a Windows guy, and I'm not at my home computer where I can try this out, but if I remember correctly, you can have iTunes gather all the music files on your computer and move them (or copy them) to the place where iTunes expects them to be. On a Mac, that's HD>Users>My User Name>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. If you don't want to let iTunes do that, you can move all the music files you find to that folder yourself.
    Once all the music is there, you can delete the songs from iTunes and import them again (directing iTunes to the folder you just gathered. Make sure you are signed into your iTunes account (in the Store pull-down window—not the Store tab on the left). Songs from the iTunes store can be downloaded again (if you don't have them anymore), provided you are signed in. If a store purchase is on one of your iPods, but not in iTunes, iTunes can detect and download those again, but the limit for devices is 5, so don't waste them if you don't need to.
    More detailed info can be found in the manuals (download here).

    There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    The above methods will depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
    I can't vouch that any of them will work with iTunes version 7.

    See this user tip.
    The iPod cannot be updated because one or more playlists no longer exist.
    For versions of iTunes from 7 onwards, the option to "update selected playlists" is now under the "music" tab in the summary screen.
