Can't downlaod songs from old mini to new computer

Is there any way to download songs to my new computer from my old iPod? It say's that I need to sinc it but I don't want to lose all of my music off of my iPod?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Connect your iPod and 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 *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
If you want to recover the songs that are on your iPod and put them on your new computer, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists 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.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
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 again.

  • HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

    I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How can I transfer music from old mini to new iPod nano?

    I was buying a MacBook laptop for school next year, and also got a new nano nearly free! So, I currently have a PC which I use for my iPod mini, but I want to put my music library into the Mac and the nano. How can I do this?
    The PC "sent" songs into the nano but they were gray and not playable. I really just want to move the whole library to the Mac. Please help!
    Thanks.

  • HT1349 Transferred songs from old iPod to new computer and now songs won't sync to my iPhone 5

    What should I do? To get them to sync to my phone?o

    What computer OS are you using? Do you have the latest version of iTunes (v11.1)? There has got to be a reason for the disconnect in the music syncing. I would recommend resetting the sync history. If you are in Windows, go to Edit, Preferences, Devices, and there is a button there. Now, with the phone connected to iTunes and the phone selected in the Device pane, you go to the Summary page and down towards the bottom of the page, there is a Reset Warnings box. After doing that, try to sync music again. If there is a problem, with the warnings reset, it should show up if there is one.

  • 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.

    The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
    The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.

    Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.

    I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
    It did not bring the music over.  Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
    Open iTunes on your old Mac.  Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu.  Sign in.  Do the same on your new computer.  Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
    That's what Apple says, anyway.

  • Moving iTunes Library from iPod mini to new computer (old hard drive dead)

    Hi all, I own a 2nd gen (I believe) iPod mini with all of my music from my iTunes library on it. Last weekend, my computer began freezing/crashing while loading my desktop, and a diagnostic confirmed that the read/write head on my hard drive was bad. I don't currently have the spare cash to send it away to a recovery lab, so I am starting from scratch with a new computer I will be ordering today.
    My question is this--is it going to be possible to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer? Many of the songs on my iPod are from other sources, during the years that I was not using iTunes, and from what I have read I will only be able to transfer my purchased music. I know there is a way to make my iPod into a hard drive in order to transfer the music to my new computer, but as I said, I cannot even boot up my old machine, and thus cannot access my iTunes library on my HD.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice you may have.

    I've had to do this in the past (4 years ago). Try this page for a list of programs that can help you:

  • How can i transfer everything from old iphone4s to new iphone5?

    just bought new iphone5, how do i transfer all the apps/contacts/etc from olf iphone4s?

    The easiest way is to back up old phone to icloud and then restore new phone from that old phone backup. Any purchased content such as apps and songs from the itunes and apps stores can be downloaded again.
    These directions are for an ipad, but the method is the same.

  • How can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer

    how can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer

    Are these pictures on your iPod no longer stored on your PC or in a backup somewhere?  If so, you'll need the help of third party software to assist you with the task of extracting the photos from your iPod to your PC.  Keep in mind that these synced photos are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of the original.
    If you stored these photos in full resolution, see this article for instructions on copying them from your iPod back to your PC.
    Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    Once the photos are on your PC again, you can configure them to sync to your iPhone.

  • Can I transfer songs from Ipod back to new hard drive?

    My hard drive recently completely crashed, got it replaced but couldn't recover any data. When I re-installed Itunes the library was obviously empty but I'm wondering if there is anyway I can get the songs from the Ipod back into the library without starting completely over? I tried opening the device to possibly copy and paste files but can only access the photo files. When I connect Ipod to the computer I only get the option to Erase and Sync, and I really really don't want to have to do that if there is some other way
