How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.

  • How can i transfer photos from my macbook to my imac without altering their quality

    I am trying to transfer photos from my macbook to my imac, with the same version og iphoto, but it seems that the imac is having trouble to give me clean photos, as if it was putting 2 images, one on the other.... any suggestion for a clean and quick transfer ? and to what may cause that the photos seems blurry ?
    thanks
    Lau

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • HT4946 How can I get music from my old iPhone onto my new iPhone if I didnt sync it with the computer?

    So I had an iPhone 3gs and I had all of my music on there. it slowly started breaking until the point where I was forced to buy the iPhone 4. So before the 3gs died I never had a chance to sync it with itunes. Now I am syncing the 4 with itunes on my new computer and I was wondering if the music would come back into that library so the it will be on my 4?

  • HT1766 Recently moved from Windows to MacBook Air. How do i transfer contents from my phone to MacBook Air without loosing any content such as text messages from iMessage?

    Some text messages are really important and some are really sensitive. Also, what about music, can download them via iTunes store. Will all my data be lost just for this otherwise i will regret choosing apple!!
    Also my MacBook Air was just purchased today!!!

    Open two Finder windows. In the first, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/Fonts/ as the path. Repeat the process with the second, but delete the ~ in the path. Drag the fonts from the first window to the second.

  • How can I transfer photos from my iPad to memory stick without a computer? No internet connection.

    Transferring photos from iPad to memory stick.

    That's the truth.
    I went shopping yesterday and bought a £25 lightning adapter to SD card for my iPad. Today I find out I cannot perform the extremely simplistic task of copying my required photos to my SD card using the adapter ...
    Any other tablet or phone would do this.
    I now face an uphill struggle to get these photos off of the iPad and onto an SD card before going to the camera shop to get them printed on photo paper. I am due at my terminally ill mothers house in 1hour20mins. It will take me 1 hour to drive to her town. I then need to get to the camera shop and print these pictures off - I reckon at least 30mins to park and print them. And this does not factor in the wasted time and money I have already spent this morning getting nowhere with this useless adapter. It does not factor in the time wasted now trying to get these photos off my iPad, on to a computer, then on to an SD card - then leaving the house............
    I think me and Android are going to be very good friends.

  • How do I transfer data from old laptop to new one without using time machine?

    I just bought a new Macbook and want to transfer everything over and wipe my old Macbook so the kids can have it.  I have an external hard drive, that has photos etc. on it already.  When I try to do a Time Machine back up, it tells me the drive is not formatted correctly and that to complete the back up, it will have to erase everything.  I can't move the photos back on to the old Macbook because there isn't enough free disc space.  So, I don't think I can do this with Time Machine.  How would you recommend I transfer the data over?  Thanks!

    Use Migration Assistant during the setup of the new machine. Connect both machines up to a wired network if possible and follow the instructions. It's worth running software update on the old MacBook first as there was an update to Migration assistant for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 published recently.

  • How can I transfer books from my Mac to my iPad without using iTunes?

    ?

    I can get books into iBooks on my ipad easily enough by just emailing them to myself or using Dropbox. The problem with that route is that it loses the book's genre, which must be something iTunes handles separately from the file.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to retain the genre metadata outside of iTunes?

  • How can I transfer video from my iPhone to my iPad without a computer?

    I do have a work computer, a MacBook Air, but I can't sync it to my iPad. My iPad is already synced to my home computer. The camera connection kit used to work, but now I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad mini: all lightening connectors. Will the lightening to USB Camera adapter do the job?

    Dan Fenner wrote:

    Yep.
    However, importing pics/videos in your camera roll DOES NOT involve syncing, & you can import these directly to your computer. Launch iPhoto, connect your phone, import. If iTunes launches, quit it.
    That's all you have to do. You can import camera roll pics/videos to any computer you want.

    Select your iPad under devices in the iTunes source list to make the various tabs for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes available in the main iTunes window.

  • How can I transfer photos from my pc to iPad using iTunes?

    HOw can I transfer photos from my pc to iPad using iTUnes?

    Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page (though it looks like Apple are doing some maintenance at the moment so the link isn't working). You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad).
