Transferring music from ipod classic to new computer

Hi, can anyone help?
My last computer became corrupted and unusable and I am left only with my ipod of music, which I would like to transfer to a new computer, however, it will not synch with the new one as it is says my ipod is already synched with another computer (my old one!). I have contacted apple and they have sent me information, but you need to make adjustments on the old computer (which no longer exists)to transfer the files. Is there a way of transferring the music from the ipod to my new computer, without using my old computer?
Thanks...

OK, I had to restore my laptop to factory-settings, and so lost all my music in iTunes. Still have my music on my iPod, but obviously can't syncronise it as I'd lose all the music on there.
I have tried a couple of software packages (ipod2computer & Tune Tools), but neither of them seem to work (one keeps asking me to put in my credit card details again and the other just hangs or saying it hs updating data, but after a few hours nothing happens). Really looking for help or recommendations in transfering music files from my ipod or software that can enable this.
Many thaanks for any assistance

  • Transferring music from iPod to a new computer

    Hi all
    My old computer went dead so I had to buy a new one. I didn't have backup for my music library, basicly all the songs are only stored now on my iPod Nano and nowhere else. Is there a way in which I could transfer my music from my iPod Nano to the iTunes library of my new computer?
    Thank you in advance for your replies

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different 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.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) 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:

    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Transferring music from IPod Classic to new IPod Touch ?

       I recently purchased an IPod Touch to replace my old IPod Classic.  When I try to sync the new touch with my ITunes, however, I get the message about ITunes being unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  I've tried several suggestions to get around that, but to no avail.  Even when I try to download music from the cloud, it goes away after I play it.  How can I get the music that I had on my old IPod classic onto my new IPod Touch ?  Thanks.

    Try this

  • Transfering music from iPod mini to new computer

    Ok, so I have two older ipods; the mini and the 4th gen. click wheel version. I no longer have access to the computer that housed both iTunes libraries whatsoever. Now that I have a new comp, how do I transfer my iPod music from both items to the new itunes library?

    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.

  • Transferring music from Ipod touch to new computer

    I bought a new computer, downloaded iTunes 10.63, and want to transfer music to that library from my iPod touch. Every time I try to sync the files to the new computer it tries to erase the music I have on there already. Is it even possible to do this or will I just have to load all the music I had on there and allow iTunes to erase the data in the current library? 

    The right way to transfer your iTunes Library is from the old computer to the new one. iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, no worries, you can simply download it again with the one caveat that the music is still available in the Store.
    For music purchased or obtained from sources other than the iTunes Store, you must obtain it from those sources again. Music is intended to go from your computer to the iPod. Going the other way is contrary to the design and requires the assistance of third party utilities.

  • Can i transfer music from ipod to a new computer i do not have my old computer

    Can i transfer music from ipod to a new computer i do not have my old computer files as it crashed.

    For purchased songs you can plug the iPod into you new computer and use the "File > Transfer Purchases from iPod" feature in iTunes. For music not purchased from the iTunes store you will need a third party program to help. There are a few of them out there, and they are easy to find on Google.

  • How can I save my music from iPod to a new computer?

    Probably this problem got solved already in the past but I could not find help till now. I still use my iPod 30gb Classic from 2005 but the computer with which I made the syncs is broken and I got myself a new one. I wanted to save the music files from iPod to the new computer with iTunes so that I have another backup if this iPod should get broke in the future. But I could not backup the music files, somehow. Anyone has help? Thanks in advance.

    How it was originally designed by Apple is you store your music in iTunes on a Mac or a PC. you back up your computer. you add to your library through the computer. you then sync to ipod classic. it was never intended to move music back the other way unless you purchased the music from iTunes store.
    If your compuetr breaks you restore iTunes library from computer backup.
    in many cases music is reduced in size and quality to 128kbps on sync so backwards sync would lose library quality.
    finally, it avoids people illegally sharing music, or stealing music from lost or stolen ipods.
    to backwards sync you will need to either get into the risky business of third party software, or find a PC running Linux and Rhythmbox and ask again.  I probably said too much.

  • Transferring music from ipod touch to new pc computer

    i just got a new computer, and i downloaded itunes, but i cannot move the music from my ipod to the new computer. can any one help?

    That is true. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The exception is itunes purchased music. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You should really move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • How do i get my music from ipod to a new computer

    I want to get all my music from my ipod onto my new computer, how do i go about doing this? I have downloaded itunes onto the new computer, switched on home sharing.  I dont understand how to go about it?  grateful for any help
    thanks

    Make sure that autosync is disabled in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, set up your account, connect your iPod and right click on it in the device list. Choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought music from iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    If you want to use this computer to sync your device, right lick again in the device list and choose "backup"
    This will perform a manual backup without the sync process. Set up at least one contact and event on your computer, to be able to merge data after your device got erased during the first sync.
    Use the manual backup to restore your data and settings again.
    Other music can only be copied if you use 3rd party software, see this thread for examples: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How do move my music from iPod to a new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account

    My school district installed new computers. The IT told us that our iTunes would not be effected.  When I went into iTunes on my new computer, there was nothing there. Obviously I can't plug in my iPod or everything would be erased.  They said that there is nothing they can do about this.
    How do I move my music from this iPod to this new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account?  It appears that it was wiped out. I have close to 400 songs that I use for daily classes. The os is now Windows 7. The old one was Vista.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have an old nano purchased in 2006. It indicated new models on the page.
    Any other suggestions?
