Transferring music to Mac

I recently bought a MacBook Pro, and want to use it to sync my iPod Touch. Because of the internet capabilities on this device, I have purchased apps and songs directly on my iPod, and are therefore not in my PC iTunes Library. Is there any way I can get those songs/apps tranferred to my Mac Library?

In itunes, with ipod touch attached, Click File>Transfer Purchases.

  • Transferring music from Mac formatted Ipod to Windows Vista laptop

    The hard-drive on my Mac laptop recently gave up on me. Unfortunately I haven't managed to transfer all my music to my time capsule and Apple TV. I've lost about 4,000 - 5,000 songs. I've read various articles and tried a few software applications, unfortunately none have work successfully for me.
    I know there are some third party software applications that can sort this out but I was wondering is there any free applications or a manual way I can do it?
    Thanks in advance for the advice!

    There are several different ways to read HFS+ volumes on a pc. I used to have one but it was for reading .dmg on pc. I did find a program called HFSExplorer that might help you. If you can, I would transfer the music you have to your internal HDD on your Mac using a program like Senuti and then putting it on the iPods HDD using disk mode, then you should be able to read them on the pc usaing the aforementioned program.

    Senuti has a 30-day/1000 song trial. I'm not sure about the HFSExplorer.
    I hope this helps some!

  • Transfering music in Mac format on iPod to Windows

    I've just sold my Mac and bought a PC. I've got about 25gb of music on my Mac formatted iPod that I can't download to my PC because the file format isn't compatible. there must be a way to do this! Any suggestions?

    I believe that what you mean is your iPod HD's format not music files format.
    Have a read, see if it helps

  • When I synced my phone with my mac, the music that I had in my phone got transferred to my mac. 140 songs to be exact, however I can no longer see the songs on my phone, only the purchased album I have appears. How can I get the songs I had back?

    Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.

    I have a similar problem.  I recieved an IPAD for my birthday, and my daughter updated my itunes library so i can use it with the ipad...and somehow all my songs (unpurchased from itunes, and downloaded  from a large collection of CDs) ...and play lists were deleted.   I still have them on my old ipod, and wonder how to get them back onto my computer so I can redistribute some of them to the ipad.  I must be getting too old for this tech stuff, it gets less user friendly every year.

  • Transferring music on the ipod back to a Mac

    I am using a Shuffle and love it. I have all my data on my IBM PC and now am using a G4. I really want to just download my shuffle playlist into the established iTunes on the Mac but it doesn't seem quite as easy as plug and play. Any suggestions for transferring ipod to MAC???

    You can't trasnfer music using an iPod Shuffle since it is linked to ONLY one library, however you can transfer the files in Disk mode, set your iPod to Disk mode and asign the whole space for data (Itunes preferences/iPod)
    So you can transfer (and no listening in iPod) the files from the PC to the G4, after all your music is on the G4, add it to iTunes and now you can asign more space for music on iPod preferences.
    good luck

  • Transfering music from mini ipod to a nano

    i just bought the nano and would like to transfer my music form my mini ipod to the nano. i can only transfer 1/2 of my music. i'm also using a new computer to do this. why can't i get all my music?

    Are you transferring these tracks back from your Mini
    to iTunes and are the ones that transfer purchased
    tracks? The transfer of non purchased content such
    as songs imported from CD is designed by default to
    be one way from iTunes to iPod. However 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. Have a look at
    the web pages and documentation, this is just a small
    selection of what's available, they are generally
    quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of
    some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's
    hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on
    Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and
    won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's
    available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off
    the iPod
    My songs are currently on my mini and in itunes, but when i try to transfer them to my new nano, it will not work. The only songs it will transfer are the songs that I copied from cd's. I also have a new computer that I am using, does this have anything to do with it? If I use my old computer would it work. From you response, it sounds like there is a solution w/ the link that you provided. Correct? Thank you for your feedback.

  • New PC & transferring Music & Playlist

    I’m sure it’s me! But……there’s something I’m missing.
    In short: I have purchased a new PC and I simply want to transfer music and playlist to that PC. Previously my music was on external drive letter (D), on new PC that same drive is a different letter.
    This is presenting me with a problem. I can seem to consolidate because my iTunes thinks the music is on a different drive. Not sure what I’m missing.
    I’m sure I’ve not explained this clearly. So I’ll try to clarify my question:
    What is the easiest way to transfer my entire iTunes library music and playlist to a new PC with different drive locations?
    I’ve read what I think is all or most of the documentation on backing up and transferring music to a different location, so I think I’m in need of some one that will patiently walk me through this step by step.

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

  • Transferring Music Files

    I have been trying to transfer all my music files for the longest time. I have two mac's, Macbook Pro and the iMac. All my music is on my Macbook Pro and I want to get the same music on the iMac. I have tried a few things. Transferring all music to an external hard drive, connecting the Macbook pro to the iMac firewire, and the new home sharing. Each way I have tried is very much unsuccessful. Most of my music comes from CD's that I bought, and very little from the iTunes store. Every time I try to transfer the music only just over 500 will transfer, and I have 5,000. I've tried bulk and section and everything else. I haven't had a problem with transferring music until I put it on the Macbook pro.
    What can I do?

    Can you give a little more detail (step by step). I have done this a lot and have had very little problems.

  • Transferring music from old computer using ipod

    I recently transferred music from my old computer to my new computer using my ipod by following the directions in apple support (article 300173.) I already had music in itunes on my new computer when I added the music from my old computer. Now all the music that I had loaded prior to the transfer comes up with a message "original file could not be found." Have I lost this music for good?

    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    If you dragged the file called 'iTunes' in to the music folder in the finder and it asked 'do you wish to overite' then it has probably overwritten the folder tha t already existed
    (with the new music in).
    If you haven't emptied you trash it might be in there, but don't click retore the trash just drag the folder onto the desktop.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I stop Migration Assistant (using Command + Q) if I am only transferring music?

    Hi everyone,
    I just recieved my new Macbook Pro with Retina.  It is my first Mac.  I am transferring music using Migration Assistant from my Vista PC.  I was wondering if it would cause any issues if I cancel the operation (as it will take over a day on wireless)?  There are no settings involved, just music files (mostly mp3's).
    Thanks.

    If you were transferring files during the initial setup, you were using Setup Assistant. Migration Assistant can be run later; however, it will automatically create a new user account (because you've already set up an account during the setup), so you'll wind up with two accounts and duplicate folders which will take a while to sort.
    If you just want to drag over certain files, best to use target disk mode (you need a firewire cable):

    If you want to use that, you can just erase your drive using the recovery option and then download/reinstall your OS again.

  • Transferring Podcasts from Mac to PC

    My iPod is in the shop, so I'd like to transfer all my podcasts from my Mac (where the iPod is usually docked) to my PC (where I do most of my daily work). The computers are networked, so there shouldn't be a problem copying the files, should there? But I am having trouble. Is there an easy way to do this without my iPod, or should I just re-subscribe to all my podcasts through the iTunes store?

    An iPhone is not PC or Mac formatted.
    She will need to transfer her iTunes library from her Mac to the PC. You can have more than one iTunes library on the same computer. Assuming she will have her own computer login account on the PC, her iTunes library transferred from her Mac can be placed under her computer login account on the PC. This will probably be the best way to do this if you have different iTunes accounts.
    Follow the instructions included with this link for transferring her iTunes library from her Mac to the PC. The same would apply in the reverse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    If you share the same iTunes account and she only wants to transfer the iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from her iPhone to your iTunes library on the PC, with her iPhone connected to iTunes on the PC and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of her iPhone. This will include all music purchased from the iTunes store that is on her iPhone, and all 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps.

  • Need up transferring music files from windows phone

    I have a zune as a MP3 player which my Mac reads as a windows phone via the windows phone app. There is an import button to import pictures and videos from it onto my computer (which hasn't worked anyway) however, I can't figure out how to transfer all of my music from my zune onto my Mac book. I realize there is the very long way of plugging the zune into a regular computer and transferring the data onto a USB/memory stick and then transferring onto my Mac. I'm just hoping that there is some possible way of just importing it straight from my zune onto my Mac if anyone can help.
    Keep in mind, I know how to get music from my Mac onto my zune. It's the opposite that I'm having trouble with.
    Thank you.

    Hi John,
    Welcome to the Mac Forums!
    Sorry you are having problems. The "Priviliges" problem you are having has nothing to do with files being locked. It has to do with the way Mac OS tracks who is allowed to see what data on your computer. This way when you have multiple users logged onto your Mac, each user can only see what they are allowed to see and can't rummage through everyone elses files. Keeps things private from other users. Unfortunately, it can create complications when copying files.
    I think the best solution for you is to set up your entire Windows iTunes library for "sharing." Then have your new Mac look for shared music on the wireless network. iTunes on the new Mac should then "see" all your Windows music. As long as you have the Mac set up as "authorized" in your iTunes account, you should be able to make copies or duplicates using iTunes of all the tracks in your library that are stored on your Mac hard drive.
    Hopefully this will work for you. I have not tried it, but from my knowledge of iTunes, it should work. Keep us posted.
    Cheers,
