How do I transfer music from an iPod to a new computer, with an existing iTunes account that is not mine, or to an iPad??

My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library and music. The music is however on my iPod 5th Generation. How do I move my music to my husbands computer, where he has his own music....or how do I transfer or add my music from my iPod to my iPad?
I also lost all my gift card money on my iTunes account. Can I add my iTunes account to a computer that already has an iTunes account?

I have read this, but it does not help. My crashed computer had my iTunes library with MY iTunes ID. The new computer and iPad that i want to transfer my music to, that is on my iPod, is under a different iTunes account. Can I still transfer my music from my iPod to a new computer that has a different ID?

The easiest way is to simply restore your music from your backup drive.

How do I transfer music from my ipod to a new computer?

I need to move all the music from my ipod to a new computer so I can put it in iTunes?

The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.
If neither of the above are doable, and you have a PC, use this:

You really need to get an external drive and put together a backup plan.

How do I transfer music from my ipod to my new computer when I have songs downloaded from another source that is not i tunes. It prompts me for i tunes user name numerous times with different profiles every time.

It is not showing my ipod as registered on this computer by the way.

If all the numerous user profiles are yours, just sign in with the relevant passwords. If they are not then you shouldn't be using the media anyway...

How do I transfer music from my Ipod to my home computer?

How do I transfer music from my Ipod to my home computer?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
newer copy
If you want to make this computer the syncing computer then also do:
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

HT1296 How do I transfer music from my Ipod touch to my computer?

I borrowed an Ipod touch from a friend to transfer his songs to my computer. but i've been unable to do that. everytime I try to sync Ipod with my Itunes, it warns me of replacing entire data (in Ipod) with data of my Itunes. How do I tranfer music from his Ipod touch to my computer without erasing any data from his device (ipod) ??
please reply me in my email id: [email protected]

If it is just the music you are after, then steps 2 & 3 have you covered. If you no longer have access to the computer you used to sync with then you may want all the information...
iTunes is designed to sync devices to a single library. When you try to switch libraries you may lose some or all of the information curently stored on the device. To prevent this you should be able to:
Backup the device to a new installation
Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

How can I move music from my iPod to my new computer if my computer can't SEE the music from the source?!?

I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up: Calendars, Contacts and Notes. I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer! WHY?!?
When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
HELP, please. I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
Thanks in advance...

How do I transfer music from my iPod to my new mac?

I just got a new mac and would like to transfer my music from my iPod to my new mac. Ive tried a few programs to do it and it will not let me because of IOS 5. Any help?

if it was bought on the ipod then you can transfer
otherwise you have to rely on the 3th party programs catching up with ios5 way of doing it
apple makes it like this to avoid people using ios devices to tranfer illegal material from computer to computer

HT1473 how can i put music from my ipod to my new computer when my old computer died?

My old windows laptop died and can not get anything off it, I now have a new windows laptop and want to transfer the music from my iPod to my new laptop. How can I do this??

If you are using 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 and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

How do I transfer music from my iphone to a new computer?

how do I transfer music from my iPhone 4S to my new computer with windows 8 without deleting music off my phone?

What should be done, is to copy your entire iTunes folder from
your old computer to your new one, then open iTunes holding down
the shift key. You will get prompted to create new or open existing,
select existing and navigate to the iTunes folder and select the
"iTunes Library.itl" file.
To find were the iTunes folder is:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391
After doing this, you "should" be able to sync normally.
If you never previously synced to iTunes, then it could be problematic.

I want to transfer music from my ipod to a new computer can I do this?

can I transfer music from my ipod touch to a new computer?

Sort of... but the best bet is to transfer/copy your entire iTunes media folder from your old computer to your new computer. Otherwise you may not get all your media copied.
iDevices are not backups, they are simply mirrors of what exists in your iTunes library.
