Transfer song from IPOD classic to laptop

My daughter copied a CD to our home computer (Windows). She then loaded the songs onto her IPOD Classic. From there she tried to load them from her IPOD to her personal laptop (Vista). When she highlights the songs and drags them to her library there is a symbol of a black circle with a black line indicating that the operation can not be done. I have looked everywhere on how to fix and this is my last resort.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

you need to enable the ipod for disk use (through itunes) and then drag the actual audio files to the ipod itself (in disks with removable storage in computer). then unplug it from the the home computer and plug it into the laptop. go to disks with removable storage and go to your ipod and put the songs onto the computer and then into itunes. i know that this seems slow and messy but itunes doesnt let you just put songs onto a computer from an ipod so unless you have a network, using the ipod like a usb stick is probably the easiest way to do it

    You need a 3rd party software to copy the iPod data to your PC, iTunes, then sync iTunes to the Touch.

    Otherwise if you still have the dead laptop it may be possible to extract the drive and hook it up in an external drive bay. I've recovered data for a number of friends and colleagues this way.

  • Laptop crashed and how to transfer music from ipod back to laptop and won't transfer new purchases to ipod?

    My laptop crashed about 2 days ago. I got it fixed and had to reinstall it. I had to reinstall itunes all over again. How do I transfer all my songs from my ipod including the ones that were from hardcopies and by hardcopies I mean cds I bought in real life and is on a disc. All of the songs are still on my ipod so how do I upload all of the songs and videos (purchases, music/songs from hardcopies/cds uploaded not bought from itunes, etc...?) How would I upload all of that back to itunes on my laptop? Another question is for some reason when I hook up my ipod to my laptop, I recently bought 23 songs about a day ago and it won't upload those purchases to my ipod, is it because I have all the hardcopies and downloads on my ipod that the itunes library doesnt have? Also, how would I sync my newest purchases to my ipod efficiently without deleting any of the hardcopies I uploaded before my laptop crashed?

    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 from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

    I am trying to transfer songs from my old ipod to my library and get them on a new ipod. How do I do this? I am so confused

    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. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

  • Transfer Songs from Ipod to New Computer and New Itunes Installation

    Hi,
    I want to transfer songs on my Ipod to a new installation of Itunes on a new computer. I get a message that my Ipod is synced to another library and that I can only be synced to one library and that my ipod will be erased and synced to the currently libary. The problem is my current library is empty since it's a new itunes installtion and I don't want to erase my ipod and delete all my songs.
    So how do I transfer songs from my ipod to the new itunes installation on my new computer?
    Thanks for any replies.

    I think I've read in a post before that you can't do it that way. That you can only transfer music from the computer to the iPod, and not the other way around. I believe they suggested backing up your library (to disk, I guess) and installing it on the new computer. Something like that. It seems silly that the transfer only works one way, but there you are.
