  • Hard Drive Dead.  How do I upload songs from Ipod to new hard drive?

    The hard drive on my computer crashed, and I had to buy a new one. Unfortunately, I did not have the old drive backed up and lost all my data, including my Itunes library - $90 or so in purchased ITune songs plus a tonn of songs from my CD collection. So, I now have my stagnant Ipod and am unable to expand its library without starting from scratch.
    Is there a way to upload my entire library from my 30G Ipod to my new computer, running ITunes 7.02 (or the latest software edition I just downloaded)?
    HELP!!!

    Well I guess the lesson learned is BACK UP! Don't let it happen to you again. To answer your questions...

  • Uploading songs from ipod onto a computer

    I am getting a new computer and i was woundering if i could upload all my songs on my ipod to the new computer instead of ripping all my cds on the new computer.

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music 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 files from your iPod, this is just a selection.

  • Computer crashed, how do i import songs from ipod to new computer?

    I need to import songs from my ipod to my new computer. I know there are third party softwares to do this, but which software is free, and is COMPLETLY VIRUS FREE. please give me a specific name and where to download it. Thx

    I can't recommend any of the free ones. They either wouldn't install, or had severe limits not present in the purchased version. My advice is to shell out the $20 bucks.

  • HT201272 Transfering songs from ipod to new computer? its only transfering a few not all

    Can anyone tell me why my new computer wont transfer all my ipod songs to the library only a few and then when i try to sync new songs it says it can only do it from one library and wants to erase all the songs from my ipod when i click transfer from ipod to library its only transfering a few selceted songs

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • "sync"ing songs from IPOD to new computer

    My old computer crashed and I had to get a new one recently. I have downloaded the latest ITUNES Software (7 I believe). How can I get the music on my IPOD to transfer into my ITUNES Library on my new computer? I am worried that the new ITUNES is going to erase all the songs on my IPOD. Thanks so much for the help.

    No. Fortunately I was able to transfer songs, however, none of the playlists were copied. The whole process of transferring songs from the iPod to a new computer is ridiculously scary; I've had to re-install songs from backups in the past - and it takes days. It's too cumbersome for an ordinary non-techie. The protected/purchased songs transferred easily from the iPod to the new computer. However, the 1,000s of other songs had to be copied as suggested using the iPod first as a removable drive to copy the library folders to the new computer, and then adding those files/songs through iTunes. That created "duplicates" of the purchased songs; I deleted the duplicates based on the Added Date in iTunes. The copied library folders were deleted after I verified the #songs in the new iTunes libary. I had to redo my playlists (viewing the old computer) and re-add a few podcasts. Adding the iTunes library was the most difficult task in setting up this new computer.

  • Problem copying songs from ipod to new computer/itunes

    Hello all,
    I'm hoping that some of you will be able to help me out on this issue. I need to restore my song database from my ipod to the a new HD however when i copy all the songs they are all named random 4 letter caracters. I used ipod access to copy the songs over. Now on the ipod they all show up with their proper names, however when i try to import them into itunes, half of them are converted to the right names and half are random characters. also i've tried a software called id3 tags which names the songs from the tag information, however for some reason these songs dont have tag information (but they are named correctly on the ipod)
    Now is there any way to get these songs names to display correctly?

    i can tell you how to get the songs from your ipod on to your computer if that helps
    1) make sure there is a "itunes music" folder somewhere in your documents. if not, then just load any cd into itunes and the folder will automatically be created.
    2) plug your ipod in. go to "my computer" then into your ipod icon.
    3) search the folders until you come across one which contains around 50 folders, all beginning with "f".
    4) select all of these and copy them.
    5)go into the "itunes music" folder and create a new folder. it doesn't matter what you call it.
    6) paste all of the folders into your new folder. this will take FOREVER!!!!
    7) when thats all finished, open up itunes.
    8) got to "file" then "add folder to library". find the new folder you created in "itunes music" and select it to be added.
    9) this, again, will take a long time
    10) all of your songs should be there
    please tell me if this does not work because i haven't done this in a while and i may left out a step or done something wrong.
    hope this helps!!!!!!

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:

  • Copying Songs from Ipod to new Computer

    My previous notebook crashed and all the songs on my Itunes are all gone. I wish to sync songs from my Ipod to the new notebook. How do I go about doing that?
    Please help.

    Hello Mactan22,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • 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.

  • Transfering songs from ipod to new computer

    Hello..Please forgive me but I not very computer literate...I have a new computer and want to put the 101 songs that are currently on my Ipod classic onto the itunes playlist for the new computer. How do I go about doing this?? Using the SYNC function won't work because it tells me that all of the songs that i currently have on the ipod will be areased..any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks..
    John

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the 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".
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you 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 safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. 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 read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    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

  • Moving Songs from Ipod to NEW computer- don't have old computer!! :-/

    Hi everyone,
    I have a 30GB Ipod Classic. My old computer died and I no longer have it. I bought a new computer and want to transfer all the music from my ipod on to itunes. When I try and do this it tells me my ipod is already synced with another library and it can only be synced with one at a time. It gives me two options: Erase & Sync (Erase songs off my ipod and replace them with the few I have on my new computer) or Transfer Purchases (which it wont let me do because they have not been 'deauthorized' off my old computer).
    Does anyone know how I can transfer the music from my ipod onto my computer without having my old computer that was synced to this ipod????
    Please help!!!!
    Thanks for reading
    saz

    Regarding your purchases:
    In iTunes, click Store > Authorize Computer and enter your information
    When it says it is successfully authorized, connect the iPod and click Transfer Purchases
    There are several applications that can be used to recover purchases from the iPod in the event of a computer failure, and no backup.
