  • I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive.  Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

    That's a bummer, didn't realize the exHD files were corrupt, esp if you have tried from another PC and not just this new computer.
    You can get purchases from the itunes store transferred from an iPod using these directions:

    If you want everything (meaning non-itunes songs, app data, photos, etc) you need to buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that support iTouch. Here is an iLounge article to start your research:

    If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
    If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.

  • How do I transfer files from my Ipod Touch onto my new computer?

    I have a 2nd Generation IPod touch, old I know, and I have just gotten a new laptop. I have not had a computer for many years and have had my ipod floating around getting music from friends and family, so there is nothing backed up anywhere. Now I am trying to transfer files into the Itunes library and it will not allow me. Has anyone ever had this problem? Please Help.

  • Is there any way to transfer my media from my ipod touch to my new pc?  The media is not currently in my itunes library.

    I can not upgrade my ipod touch because music that is currently on there will be lost.  Is there any way to transfer the media that I currently have on my touch to my itunes library or my pc? 

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • How to transfer Files from an iPod touch to a new computer?

    Hello all, recently i ran into some computer problems and my computer needed to be replaced.
    I did not keep my old computer. I want to transfer files such as notes, contacts, apps ect. to the new computer. I do not care about transfering music or photos because i have copies of them saved on the new computer already. so is it possible to transfer those things? I have an iPod touch 4th Generation, if that helps.

  • How do I transfer my songs from my iPod Touch to my new MacBook Pro?

    Okay so I have read many similar questions, but I have not found any that share my exact problem.  I got an iPod Touch for Christmas and bought songs from the iTunes app it has, NOT FROM A PREVIOUS COMPUTER.  I have boughten 83 songs so far.  Now I just got the new MacBook Pro for graduation and haven't touched the iTunes on this computer.  It is all set up through the same Apple ID.  So again, all 83 songs that I have on my iPod did NOT come from a previous computer, they all have been bought through iTunes on the iPod Touch, how do I get those songs on my new computer?  Thank you!
    P.S. OH!  I also just got the Time Capsule (2TB), so I am not sure if that would solve my problem.

    This is answered often.
    open itunes, connect ipod, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT2329 How do I transfer the music from my iPod touch to a new computer and new iTunes account on a PC?

    I recently got a new computer and a new iTunes account. How do I transfer all of the content from my iPod Touch to my new library without it syncing and deleting everything? Thanks!

    You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The ipod is ot a backup device.  It simply irrors the selected content of your computer.

  • Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?

    Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?
    My PC got a virus and I had to reinstall windows from scratch so I lost most of my music. I had a backup program that died in the middle of it so only half came back. the only place that I have all the songs is on the ipod. if I let it sinc it will loose the half that I do not have.
    Any ideas on which direction I should go?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another 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.
    If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

  • HT1848 I am trying to transfer my purchases from my iPhone 5 to my new Mac computer.  I get the message stating that it can only be synced with one computer at a time.  I have tried the 2 other ways and I get no options to transfer my purchases.  Help?

    If you see Devices in the big list on the left-hand side of iTunes, it should show the name of your iPhone right below it. You can right-click (or hold ctrl and left click) on the name of the iPhone there, and choose "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    If you're on iTunes 11, you won't see the big list of the left until you go to the View menu at the very top (where you see iTunes/File/Edit/View/etc) and choose Show Sidebar. Then do the same thing: right-click or ctrl and left-click on the iPhone's name below Devices and "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    It'll ask you to authorize the computer for your Apple ID if you haven't yet; to do that, you just type your Apple ID and password in when it asks. If it says you are not authorized but doesn't automatically give you an option to do so, then you can go to the Store menu at the very top and choose "authorize this computer".

  • Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

    Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
    Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
    Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
    Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
    -Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
    -On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
    (And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
    Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
    Thanks:)

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.
