Can I pull iCal data from iPod onto new hard drive?

My hard drive crashed and I was wondering if I could pull my Address Book, iCal and iTunes playlist data off my iPod and put it on my new hard drive. Thanks in advance!

You would need to enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

How can I transfer outlook data from Ipod to new hard drive?

My hard drive had to be replaced last week. Although my music was backed up by Norton 360, my Outlook contacts and calendar were not backed up. How can I transfer my data from my Ipod to my new hard drive? I am running Windowa XP, if that matters. Will a sync to Itunes destroy all my data on my Ipod?

How to add files from iPod to new hard drive after krasch?

My hard drive recently crasched. I use my iPod as back up. But now, I cannot find out how to copy the files back to the new hard drive on the computor. The iTune program only advices me to delite all information on the iPod to substitute it with the much lesser library on the computer. Obviously it must be possible to copy in both directions. But how do I do it?

Thank you for your advise. That's one thing I learned. Not to assume that people know about backing up. I would have recommended it a long time ago. That's one thing that Apple or other computer stores should offer, external backup package or combo to make people aware of it's importance. Just a thought!
Anyway, I do have a little background in troubleshooting. I thought it's a Mac security issue. I would want to try other options before deciding in opening the computer and taking out thehard drive as it is not as convenient as opening a PC.
Apple does make external hard drives available at the Apple Store, however it is an end users responsibility to backup their system. Apple does offer classes to new users and their 1:1 service too, whether the subject of backing up is mentioned in these I do not know. The subject of backing up as a class "subject" may be something you may want to mention to Apple a www.apple.com/feedback.
Many users go through the same pain as your friend, myself included! However once you go through the pain, it is a lesson seldom forgotten.
Many experiences users on these forums have redundant methods of backing up. When it comes to backing up redundancy is wise, why because a backup can (and often do) fail too. For example, in addition to using Time Machine, I also have another EHD that I use to create a bootable clone of my computer. That way if both my internal drive and TM back fails the worst that will happen is I have a system I can boot from that is a day or so old and continue running until I get all my systems fixed.

Transferring data from iPhone to new hard drive

If I get a new hard drive on my MacBook, how do I go about transferring my data on my iPhone to the new hard drive without losing the data?

What data?
The iphone is not a back up device. Where is your back up? Using your back up is the simplest way.
If you have at least one unique contact and calendar entry in your computer, you should get the option to merge the data when you first sync.
You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchase
The other music and pics cannot be synced back to the computer -it is a one way sync -computer to iphone.

Can't get my music from ipod onto new computer?

So my iPod has been synced to our desktop, and I have bought some music from my ipod that is not on the desktop. But now i have a new computer and i want my music from my ipod, not the desktop, on the itunes on the new computer, but transfer purchases isn't working. So.. is there a way to transfer from the ipod on to the new itunes? Or can someone at the genius bar do that for me?
-Thanks

First of, in iTunes, select "Store" in the menu and authorize the computer.
Then, when your iPhone is connected right click on it and select "Transfer Purchases", this should move your content from your iPhone to your computer.

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...

IMac Hard Drive Crashed - Need to get music from iPod to new hard drive

The 250GB hard drive on my iMac crashed - totally fried. It's been replaced and the operating system and software reinstalled. The problem - I have 22GB of music on my iPod (5G, 60GB) that I'd like to get back onto the computer. All music is legal - ripped from my library of 500+ CD's. The iPod is already set to manual updates and for use as a disc drive.
Someone please tell me there's a way to do this without having to rip all 500 CD's again...

Check this link for lots of solutions for that:

If they are songs you purchased plug your iPod in and in iTunes select "File > Transfer Purchased Music From iPod".

Recovering documents from computer onto new hard drive

My computer recently froze in the middle of watching a TV, which resulted in the gray screen of death and resulting in my hard drive crashing and getting a replacement. After getting home and starting from scratch again, I happened to search a few words in Spotlight and up popped results in documents that had been saved on my past hard drive. I don't have my Microsoft CDs with me to reinstall Word, so the documents only open up in TextEdit, but I'm trying to figure out how to get to those documents? And where are they saved???

In Spotlight, enter your search term. Click "Show All" at the top of the list. You'll get a new Finder window with the search results. Click on each desired file in turn, and at the bottom of the window, you'll see its location in a file path. You can double-click on any folder in that file path to open a window to that location.

Unfortunately, I lost by an update all the apps on my iPad 2. Now I can not pull the data from the cloud to my iPad. How is this possible?

Unfortunately, I lost by an update all the apps on my iPad 2. Now I can not pull the data from the cloud to my iPad. How is this possible?

If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad? If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.
Refer to these articles for help.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software.
If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
You can also download the programs again.
If you live in a country that supports re-downloading apps then you can re-download them. You can refer to this article for more help.

Can't Delete "Other Data" from iPod

I recently used Rhapsody to try and transfer songs to my iPod. Unfortunately, Rhapsody must've transferred the songs in a format that iPod doesn't recognize. How do I remove this "Other" data from my iPod without having to reset it?
Dell Windows XP

Do you see the songs in Rhapsody? Surely Rhapsody has a way to remove them. I tried this once but got angry when I couldn't listen to those songs in iTunes. I don't remember there being a problem removeing the songs using iTunes but it was awhile back and I don't remember.
Other than that, try sorting your songs by Kind in iTunes. This will give you nice divisions based on the file type. Another thing you can do is look at your iPod as a hard drive on your computer and see if the files are in there.
Good luck!

windows computer hard drive failed; data lost. have new blank hard drive. Can I load ipod music and photos back onto new hard drive?

Hi Perilman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that all of your iTunes media is on an external hard drive and you would like to move that media onto your new Windows computer hard drive. The following article has step by step instructions for this specifically. Part 5 in the External drive section is probably what is going to be most relevant to you.

Can I retrieve data from my iPhone 4 hard drive without the SIM card?

Can I retreive data from my iPhone 4 hard drive without the sim?

There is no hard drive in an iPhone, it is all solid state memory. If the phone is working you can always copy content from it. If it is not you will need to restore and activate it, and that requires a SIM card.

How do I transfer all data from my old internal hard drive to a new internal hard drive

How do I transfer all data from my old internal hard drive to a new internal hard drive? I have an iMac with a 320gb internal HD that is full and I am replacing it with a 2tb internal drive. I have several external drives; 1 tb, 2tb and 3 tb. The 2 tb is being used for Time Machine. Do I have to buy an enclosure? If so, where would I get an inexpensive one?
I also want to partition the new internal drive for Windows, and I'm not sure how much space to use for that. I plan to use Windows to check my work in PowerPoint created on my Mac for clients on PCs.

Do you already have Time Machine making backups onto the 2TB drive? If so, after you get the internal drive replaced, boot up into the recovery partition (hold down ⌘R) and restore the latest Time Machine backup that you have onto the new internal drive.
I recommend always having two backups. I'd use SuperDuper to make a complete clone of your internal drive onto an external drive in addition to having the Time Machine backup.
Boot Camp is what is used to make partitions for Windows. How much space to allocate depends on how much space you expect Windows to use up based on how you plan to use it.

Backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

Help! My husband backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone from my library! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

Hello Nataroo007,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
There is a file in the iTunes library folder that contains your playlist information is the iTunes Library.xml file.
Try and find the file, usually located in one of these locations depending on your OS:
Operating System
Default location of iTunes Folder
Mac OS X
/Users/[your username]/Music
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
Then you can import this file to your iTunes Library like this:
1. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
2. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file
3. Windows users: Click Open.
If your Podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, learn how to add them back into iTunes.

Recovering data from a newly formatted hard drive

Has anyone had any experience with programs that recover data from a newly formatted hard drive? There seem to be a lot of programs out there to do this, but, a) do they work, and b) which one worked best for you?

Ive had so and so success with a freeware utility called "Recuva"
http://www.recuva.com/
Its from the makers of CCleaner.
