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.

  • Can I transfer music from Ipod to my new computer?

    My old computer is fading fast and I want to save my music. Is there a way to download music from my Ipod onto my new computer? I don't want to take the time to copy library to discs and reinstall. Any suggestions?

    Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect 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 give you the option to 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 etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too.

    4). 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

    How can I transfer music from nano to a new computer?  Old computer is gone.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content 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 to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod.

  • Does anyone know how to transfer music from ipod to a new computer?

    Is it possible as well?

    If you have downloaded the music from iTunes store from iPod through WiFi, then you can transfer the purchases easily, when you connect the iPod to iTunes, it will ask you whether to transfer the purchases or not.
    If you haven't purchased songs from iPod, then unfortunately you can't transfer any songs through iTunes.
    You can restore purchases from iTunes :
    Once you are really sure that those iTunes songs are gone, here’s what to do:
    1. Open the iTunes Store on your device.
    2. Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase.
    3. Tap Purchased from the bottom navigation bar.
    4. From the Purchased tab, tap the artist name for the content you intend to download again.
    5. Once you’ve located the music you are looking for, tap the download button.
    (If you want to download all songs from an album that you’ve purchased, click on the button to swith to the “Album” view.)
    If you have your own set of songs, then you can copy those songs from iPod by using this FREE software : http://download.cnet.com/SharePod/3000-2141_4-10794489.html?tag=mncol;2
    I hope this solves your problem

  • How do I transfer music from Ipod to a new computer

    from my old computer I put the music in to my Ipod, but when I tried to transfer the music from the Ipod in to my new computer everything was erased, can someone tell me how I do that.
    Thanks
    Edwinft

    just happened to me last week... you clicked Yes, right? unless you've backed up your music (or held onto your old computer), you're kinda screwed. If you HAVE done either of these, open it back up, save EVERYTHING to a new playlist, and send it to your AppleID... I found this out too late, and I just spent the last 6 days re-importing every single CD I own.....
    Good luck - I know it's devastating, I feel your pain!

  • Can you transfer documents from iPod to a new computer?

    If I enable my iPod for disk use and save a Microsoft Word document to it, can I upload that file to a new computer? Or can I only view it on my iPod. I'm asking this because the computer I'm on doesn't have a printer and I need to transfer a paper I wrote to one that does. I'm out of floppy disks so that's not an option. Thanks for any help.

    Yes, you can connect the iPod to the other computer and go to My Computer, select the iPod, and copy the file to the new computer.
    Know that you cannot view the Microsoft Word file on the iPod.
    To eject the iPod once you connect it to this new computer hit the safely remove hardware icon (the one with a green arrow next to the clock) and go to stop ipod device (those may not be the exact words)

  • Want to transfer music from ipod touch4 to new computer windows 8.1 itunes

    Had to buy a new computer, and i want to transfer 1600 songs from ipod touch 4 to new windows 8.1 computer.  I really dont want to use a third party software to do this, even if there is a way to transfer to windows media player.  Any suggestion will be helpful, dont want to sit here and load up all my cd's again.

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The exception is itunes purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

  • How can I transfer music from iPod to iTunes?

    All of the music on my iPod nano is in my ex-husband's iTunes on a Mac. Now have a Windows PC and want to transfer music from iPod to iTunes. Computer says 'Need to Format disk in Drive E'. Will this lose everything? Not sure what the best way is to do everything but haven't got any way of backing up my iPod at present. Thank you!

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • HT1688 How can I transfer music from my iTunes on my computer to my iPhone?

    How can I transfer music from my iTunes on my computer to my iPhone?

    Thanks for the info. For some reason none of the syncing options are working for me. Additionally, I'm unable to drag and drop music to the iphone via iTunes.
    It seems that ever since I turned off iTunes Match, my music library has been wonky.
    Frustrating.

  • Can you transfer music from ipod to iphone 4

    You cannot.
    Everything that is on your ipod should be in itunes on your computer.  Just sync it to the iphone from your computer.

  • Can I transfer music from ipod into itunes?

    I know I'm probably clutching at straws here but thought I'd give it a try and throw the question out there! Stupidly I let my system be rebooted with the original operating system discs without backing up my itunes!! Is there any chance of transferring my music back using my ipod?? Thanks in advance

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to iTunes/preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
    An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'Command + Option' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    Try iPodDisk.
    Similar programs are Expod, Yamipod, Senuti and Music Rescue.
    If you want to retrieve playlists, iPodRip has the feature enabling you to reconstruct them.
