To completely ensure your ipod is empty, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
This completely erases the iPod hard drive.

  • HT1296 can i transfer music that wasn't purcahsed on itunes from my ipod touch to my new computer?

    can i transfer my music that WASN'T purchased on itunes from my ipod touch to my new computer?
    i have no back up for this music as my old computer and external hard drive i used for back up both died and so the only place i have them at the moment is on my ipod and most of it i cant get again so if my ipod gets wiped clean by connecting it to a new itunes i wont be able to get the songs again.
    does anyone know if this is possible and if so how to do it?
    Thanks

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

    I have a new computer now with windows 8. Old one was windows 7. The itunes library contains all I expect on new computer. Ipod will not sync with content. It says it is syncing but only picks up 1 tune. Solution please. I am on itunes 64 but it makes no difference from 32 bit.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    My itunes library doen't show on my new computer. What can I do to fix this issue?

    Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

  • How can I copy my iTunes library with playcount information to a new computer?!?

    Hello,
    I'm about to get a new computer. I have all my music on a external HD, so I won't have problems preserving my music. But I would like to preserve other information too. Especially the play count information. I think it's interesting how my top 25-most-played looks like, and the play count list I have now, took me 2 years to get.
    So my question is: Does anyone know how I can copy my iTunes library with all its information (play count, rating, comments, images, last played date etc.) to a new computer?
    Thanks a lot!

    Connect the external HDD to the iMac, launch iTunes while holding down the Option key. Choose the option to select library and navigate to the top level folder of the iTunes media on the external. Select it and click OK.

  • HT1364 new windows 7 computer, have downloaded itunes library from carbonite, cannot move old library to new itunes program

    I have a new windows 7 computer.  I have downloaded my old itunes library from my carbonite backup to this computer.  I cannot seem to move the old library folder to the new itunes program I have just downloaded.

    Restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the backup to the new computer.
    Launch iTunes.
    Everything in iTunes will be exactly as it was.

  • HT4527 How can I transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to my new computer?

    My hard drive crashed without recent backup and I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my iPad to the new hard drive. Some tunes transferred and some didn't. Thanks.

    Non-iTunes purchases cannot be transferred from an iDevice to computer via iTunes.
    The simplest solution is to simply move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Why anyone would choose to make life more difficult by screwing around with transferring purchases from an iDevice and using 3rd party software to extract non-iTunes purchases is beyond me. 
    IF for some reason there is no backup of the old computer and/or the old computer is no longer accessible, then try google for solutions.
    Do yourself a favor going forward, backup your media and other important data.

    If you still have access to the old computer, see the following document:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    If you need to recover the library from the iPad, there's some third party applications available for recovering content off a device. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

  • How/can I update itunes library from ipod

    I had a previous version of iTunes on a work PC, which I had copied my entire CD collection onto. I have since moved companies and hence lost the laptop. I(maybe stupidly) assumed that I could update the iTunes library from the iPod.
    Having searched the support pages, the only way that I can tell to do this was to export the library in the first place, which I did not do. Also iTunes seems to want to delete everything from my iPod everytime I try to do anything?!?
    I really want to avoid spending every evening for another week downloading all the albums again, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended (as previously mentioned) is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

    iTunes is already pre-installed on all new Macs.  Do you mean that you updated it from Software Update? 
    Your iPod Touch problems should be posted in the iPod Touch forums.  It's where the iPod users hang out.
