How can i transfer non purchased music from my iPod classic to iTunes?

Recently, my laptop died and geek squad was unable to extract files from hard drive. How do I transfer non purchased music (burned cd's) from my ipod classic to itunes on my new laptop? Apple customer support suggested I engage support communities to find out about 3rd party software (not apple) that can accomplish this. Does anyone know of where I can find such software? Please and thank you

Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

  • My mac is authorized for my ipod touch but I can't transfer non purchased songs from my ipod to my itunes library.

    My old macbook was stolen a month ago and I just got a new one. My new macbook is authorized for my itunes account, but my ipod touch is only able to transfer purchased songs. Whenever I try to transfer data from my ipod, itunes claims my computer isn't authorized and the transfer stops. What can I do to transfer my music?

    An iPod Touch is not a backup/storage device. You should have been maintaining a backup of your personal data on an external HDD using Time Machine or other backup software of your choice.
    However, there are ways to "recover" the music:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    Once you have recovered the music I strongly suggest you purchase an external HDD and start using Time Machine to keep a backup of your personal data.

  • How to I transfer non-purchased music from an old PC to my new macbook?

    I have an old Dell laptop that is on its last leg and I have about a weeks worth of non-purchased music that I would like to keep. Most of this music is from CDs that I exported to iTunes on the Dell but no longer have the CDs. Is there a way to transfer this music to my new MacBook Pro? I don't really want to keep ALL of the music so it would be best if I can choose artists/albums to transfer.

    If you don't want to keep all the music the best way is to simply drag the media you want to keep from the PC iTunes window to a flash drive and then add it to iTunes on the Mac.  Hopefully the music isn't stored in WMA format because iTunes on a Mac cannot read that at all, and hopefully it isn't stored as WAV because it will lose all its labels during the transfer using this particular method.
    There could potentially be issues with losing artwork too depending upon how the file artwork was initially added.

  • How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic.  ITunes wiped out all my contacts and there is even no place for contacts any more on my macBook.

    How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic.  iTunes wiped out all my contacts from my iPod classic and now I no longer even show a place for contacts on my computer when I plug in my iPod.

    You don't download iTunes by connecting your phone to iTunes and yes of course, by syncing your phone with your husbands computer, of course you will have lost all your stuff and you will have his.
    When you connect to iTunes, you sync.
    To get back all your things, then you need to sync your phone to the computer that you used originally to set your phone up - if this is your computer, then connect your phone to that and sync it with iTunes on that and you will get your stuff back, but when you connect to iTunes you sync and don't download.
    Ringtones should download automatically to your phone and if not, if you are getting them on your computer, then download them to your computer with your iTunes on and double click to get the MP3 file to open in iTunes and then sync your phone to your computer and you will get the ringtone on your phone.

  • How can I restore all the music from my iPod touch to a new iTunes/computer?

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen running on iOS6, a computer running on Windows 7, and iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (newest as updated today).
    Basically my laptop got destroyed beyond repair, the laptop that my iPod was synched to.
    I have iTunes now on another computer, how can I get my music from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer? Even getting it onto the computer will do at this point, as I don't want to have to download/rip CDs to get my entire music collection back.
    When my iPod is plugged in I can click on 'transfer purchases' but this only restores the apps to iTunes.
    When I had my old iPod classic, and was using an older version of iTunes, when I plugged my iPod into a new iTunes it said something along the lines of 'there is music on this iPod that is not currently in your iTunes, would you like to transfer to iTunes?' But there is no option like this now, I don't know if it's because its a different and newer iPod, or because a newer version of iTunes.
    Please tell me there's a way to copy all my music from my iPod to my computer, and preferably straight into iTunes so I don't have to input all the info again.
    Don'tcha just miss the old 'copy and paste music' mp3 players you had as a kid? *sighs at how complicated technology got*

  • How do I transfer music from my Ipod Classic to Itunes on my new computer?

    I recently upgraded my computer and I want to transfer my music from my Ipod classic to the new system.  How do I do it?  If I sync the Ipod, the music will be lost.

    Hi JRSandner,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want to download content from the iPod to the computer. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support

  • How do I transfer non-purchased music (loaded from personal cd's) from my 4th generation ipod to my itunes library in my computer

    How do I transfer purchased and non-purchased songs (loaded from personal cds) from my Ipod Nano (4th generation) to my Itunes library?

    iTunes only allows you to transfer music purchased from iTunes because of copyright laws. You would need to search the internet for a 3rd party app that allows you to transfer the non-purchased music or get them from the original source, i.e. CD, other music site, etc.

  • HT4527 My home computer with my iTunes library has crashed. How can I transfer all my music from my iPhone to my new computer

    My home computer which has my iTunes library on it how can I transfer all of my music from my iPhone to my new computer

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintan a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
