Getting music off of an iPod classic

Hi Everyone,
Heres the situation:
I have an Ipod classic (5th Gen I think, white, 60gb) that I used for almost three years no issue. I have tons of music on it. My dock cable developed a short and it took me a while to figure that one out. Obviously something got messed up because it wouldn't (and still won't) connect to my computer ( I get the USB not recognized message when I connect it). It will play all the songs.
I can get it charge on my car charger through much manipulation. After a few months of headache I bought a new iPod classic. I didn't back up my old library (stupid I know) and now I only have a fraction of the tunes I like on my new iPod.
Question.
Is there anyway to get the songs off of my old iPod onto my computer? I googled it and read through most of the software descriptions, but it seems at one stage or another the computer has to recognize the iPod in some fashion and mine won't
Thanks for your help

  • How do i get music off an old ipod

    How do i get music off an old ipod classic into my windows 8 system when it doesn't find the ipod when i plug it into the usb?

    Hi aekdbaker ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have music on your iPod that you would like to transfer into your iTunes library on your Mac.
    If those songs you wish to transfer were purchased, there are two different ways you can accomplish this. The first way, which does not even require you connecting your iPod to the computer, would be to re-download them from iTunes in the Cloud directly to your iTunes library. Directly connecting your iPod to your Mac to transfer purchases is an option as well. Instructions for both methods of gathering your past purchases in your iTunes library on your Mac are available in the attached article.

    Go to iTunes and to a playlist/library. go to the song(s) you want to get off your iPod and delete them from your library/playlist by either right clicking the song and hitting clear, or by hitting the delete/backspace button on you keyboard. you will then get a pop-up saying "Do you want to move the selected item into your Recycle bin or keep it in your iTunes Music Folder?"
    I think if you move it into the iTunes music folder then you are able to get to it if, later, you would like to retrieve, rather than deleting it forever.
    Below that message you will see 3 buttons that say:
    Cancel Move to Recycle Bin Keep Files
    Depending on what you want to do then click the button.

  • Does anyone have suggestions for a legitimate file extracting program? I need to get music off my old IPod (the ITunes it's on is on an old computer that no longer works) and onto my new computer so I can download it to my new IPod.

    Thank you!

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How do I get music off an old iPod and put it on a new iPhone?

    I have an older model iPod that was synced to my computer back in 2007. Obviously that computer is LONG gone. What I'd like to do now is transfer all the music off the iPod to my new iPhone but I can't figure out how. I downloaded iTunes and plugged in my iPod and iPhone but it hasn't seemed to help.
    How do I do this?

  • How do you get music off of your Ipod that is not wanted?

    My ipod has automatically taken all of my music from my itunes library. However there is some music that I do not want to have on it. How do I take selected songs off the ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

    Use your iTunes preferences (on the top menu bar: iTunes->preferences->ipod
    (with your iPod connected to the computer) and change the transfer preferences to specific play lists or set it to manual update (see below for deleting individual songs). I have several play lists on iTunes which I automatically update to the iPod.
    (from the iTunes HELP file under "ipod preference, deleting songs..."
         Deleting songs from your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle
    You can remove individual songs from your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle. (Deleting a song from your iPod does not delete it from your iTunes music library.)
    ¥
    To delete a song from your iPod or iPod mini, first make sure the player is set up to transfer songs manually (in the iPod pane of iTunes Preferences). Then select the player in the Source list, select the song you want to delete, and press the Delete key.

    To delete a song from your iPod shuffle, make sure your iPod shuffle is attached to your computer, then select the song you want to delete in the iPod shuffle playlist, and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.

  • How do I get music out of an ipod classic?

    I erased all my music from my computer by accident, i still have it on my ipod, what can i do ?

    Hi bernicemily,
    If you have an Internet connection but plan to go to an area without an Internet connection, you should be able to download the songs in advance.
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button Cloud with an arrow pointing down next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod?  I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files...but most are cds

    Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files, most of it is cds...

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.

  • How do I get music off my ipod and on to my itunes acount?

    I need to burn a CD for a freind but I cannot get my music off of my Ipod and on to my computer. I want to put it in a play list I made but it will not let me drag it.

    The media should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    That being said, if for some silly reason the media is not in iTunes and you have chosen to not maintain a backup of the library, iTunes purchases can be transferred from an iDevice to iTunes. 
    Connect the device, right click on the device and select "Transfer Purchases".
