Can you restore iCal from an iPod?

My hard drive crashed and I lost all of my data. I've reconstructed most of it but cannot find any iCal backups. I do have recent iCal info on my iPod, however. Is there a way to restore iCal from an iPod?

If you can, copy the whole itunes folder off your hard drive. It's the library.itl file that contains playlists.

How can you transfer data from one ipod to another ipod ?

The geniusbar told me what to do, I understood but there is still a problem for me >:/ It's not showing up though. Like "device." Nothing is happening, and I tried as soon as I got home. Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.

My iTunes library has been corrupted. Can I restore it from my iPod?

My iTunes library was corrupted by my corporate IS back-up process. Is there any way to restore it from my iPod?

(I realize this post is very old, but for anyone who comes looking for a solution, I hope this helps!)
I haven't done it in a while, but I believe it can be accomplished by the following (this is for a Windows computer...I don't know about on a mac):
1. Make sure you can see hidden files and folders on your computer. (look for "Folder Options" in your control panel)
2. Connect your iPod (but don't let it sync!)
3. Navigate to your iPod through My Computer.
4. Find and then copy all of the folders containing music to your computer. Then copy/move them to Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes, or click File>Add Folder to Library in iTunes, and select the appropriate folder(s).

itunes will now look more like itunes 10.
You can click on your device in the lefthand window as before
You may prefer to use the Music Sync page to select or deselect Playlists, Artists, Albums etc and click apply.
Delete your files is enabled by ticking the Manualy manage music option on the Device Summary page. You may have to scroll down to find it

Can you upload tunes FROM an iPod to a computer

I know how to download music to my iPod Shuffle, but does it work the other way? And if so, how do I do it. I believe you are allowed to legitimately connect your iPod to either one or three differenct computers at one time. Unfortunately, I still have an old iBook, which does not work with the iPods (G3 clamshell) so I have to put my music on friends and relatives computers and then download it from there. As I'm loading my own stuff up I sometimes borrow thier CD's and upload some of them (legitimate borrowing of actual CD's not P2P downloads). I'm primarily using two computers to do this. My friend's and my brothers. The majority of my music is now on my brother's computer, but all the stuff that's on my iPod was on my friends computer. There are quite a few songs that belong to the friend that I would like to add to my main music library at my brother and possibly vice versa. But I don't know if that is allowed or how to do it.

Can you mirror applications from one iPod to another? 2nd g to a 4g?

My son bought a 4g touch. Wondering if we can migrate his games(saved levels etc) to new ipod. Coming from an ipod 2g

Game settings and data are part of the backup. In order to get the same saved levels etc, you'll have to restore the new iPod with the latest backup of the old one. But, all other info will be set back to that point in time as well.
iTunes: About iOS backups

HT4623 when you restore games from your iPod touch that are backed up to the cloud, does it restore your game play history as it was at the last backup?

grandson loaded up the iPad touch we gifted him. iTunes (he uses a PC at home) says to restore factory settings. we understand that will wipe data from iPod touch - but we did confirm his "Minecraft" app and a half-dozen others were backed up as recently as 1 pm today. If we restore to factory settings, then "restore" his iPod from the iCloud back up, can anyone confirm his "gameplay" will also be restored as of the last backup? Not a gamer, never had this concern... I know his Purchased Apps are still on iTunes, but he's panicked about losing his minecraft "score."

Yes it you restore from iCloud backup game status will also be restore provided that the app is still avaialbe form the App store.

How can I restore iCal from time machine

Hi can I restore the data from iCal from time machine?

The data is in ~/Library/Calendars
The folders have gibberish names; you can't tell which folder is which calendar, so you probably need to restore the entire folder.
But if you have your Calendars synched via iCloud, there may not be anything there, since iCloud is where the "real" data resides.

How do you (or can you) play songs from your ipod on itunes?

Im trying to play my the songs on my iPod with itunes that I just installed on my friends laptop. The problem is, the place where it says Charles's (me) Laptop, the songs are all grayed out and I cant select any of them.

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Check out the links below and make the change on your own computer before you connect it to the second one:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
Some additional info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Can you transfer music from an ipod to a somewhat different iTunes library

I have an iTunes library...what happens if I plug an iPod into the computer that has some songs in the library already (from this same iPod), and some not? Will they all copy? Will it delete the ones that are already there? Just don't want to lose the music on the iPod.
Thanks

The songs on the iPod will not copy over to the new/different iTunes library. The sync process is only one way and that is from iTunes to the iPod. The only exception to this are iTunes purchases which can be transferred from the iPod to iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases with the iPod plugged in and appearing in iTunes.
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.

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Can I restore music from my ipod to computer after computer crash?

My computer crashed and all information including all ipod music is gone. It is still on my ipod ... can I download from my ipod to the computer or do I need to reinstall all music and downloads? I am not computer savy so answer in simple words please! Yes, I am past my warranty period too.
Thanks

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs 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. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

For more on the new function in iTunes 7 look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) 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 and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
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. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

How can you transfer iTunes from an iPod to a computer?

I recently replaced the harddrive in my 12.1G4 and unfortunately also lost my back-up itunes file. How can I transfer the data from my iPod to the mother computer with the new harddrive? I have authorized the computer for my iTunes account, but itunes still shows the iPod is authorized to another computer.

I have authorized the computer for my iTunes account, but itunes still shows the iPod is authorized to another computer
iPods are not authorized or deauthorized.
It tells you it is synced with another iTunes library and asks what you want to do.
