How to copy from iPod to iTunes without having old iTunes version?

I have a first generation iPod nano. The songs on this were loaded from an old windows based desktop which has long since passed on. I want to copy the songs from this iPod into itunes on a brand new apple MacBook. Can I do this? All the forums I seem to refer to require iTunes working on the old computer, which I do not have.

check out this post by Zevoneer.

Can't copy from iPod to iTunes?

I can't copy music from my iPod Mini to iTunes. Is there a way to do this? I'd like to get music onto my PC.
Thanks,

Can I copy from ipod into itunes?

I had my ipod library on a computer that had to be rebuilt and it couldn't be saved. This means that I only have my library on my ipod. Is there any way of syncing it with my laptop without wiping everything off or having to reload thousands of songs into itunes from CD's?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a 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 "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our 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
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 or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
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. 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.

My new laptop is Windows 7. I've just updated iTunes to 10.7.0.21 x64. ipod with 3000 tracks no longer recognised. I want to copy from iPod to laptop. Is it possible?

My Toshiba laptop is Windows 7. I had to remove first attempt at loading iTunes 10.7.0.21 but second attempt seemed OK. My iPod with 3000+ tracks was reognised by my old laptop but is not recognised by iTunes on my Toshiba. I want to copy from iPod to iTunes to maintain the library. Is this possible?

Copying Play Count from iPod to iTunes?

Hello, is it possible to copy the play count of songs from iPod to iTunes? I do not have my iPod syncing with iTunes (and do not want to have that feature enabled). Also, I do not merely want the play count to be overwritten, but added onto.
Thank you,
Victor Ly

Thanks for replying. I do not use autosync because the songs on my iPod do not come from a single computer, but the four computers I personally have and two other ones (my girlfriend's and another friend's). Also, I have a Nano and my song collection is way more than my Nano can hold. Just the music I have purchased off iTunes won't fit onto my Nano.
If anyone knows of an alternative way, please let me know. Is there anyway I can turn autosync on for the play count update and not have it do anything else? Thanks.

Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

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.

Is it possible to move songs from ipod to itunes?

i just bought a new macbook and proceeded to consolidate my files on itunes on my old pc. i then put that folder on an external drive which i plugged into my mac. unfortunately, it didn't seem to accept the .tmp files or the .xml file.
once i plugged it back into my pc, it showed me that i only had a few music files instead of them all.
so i ended up losing a lot of music.
most of my music is on my ipod...is there a way to get the music on my ipod to itunes without deleting anything?
thanks in advance!

Best way to transfer songs from iPod to iTunes

I had been using a LaCie 320gb firewire 800 drive to hold all of the music for my iTunes plus a Apple Lossless backup of all of my CD's.
Recently the LaCie drive decided that after 18 months it had had enough and died on me (but that's another story).
To cut a long story short, I've lost all of the music from my computer and need to retrieve the 11,000 songs from my iPod and get them back onto my new SATA drive.
What's the best way of transfering my music back to my hard drive? I've seen various applications such as iPod RIP, are they any good? Can I retain playlists, playcounts & other Metadata? Any thoughts or recomendations would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running iTunes 7 by the way.

Need to transfer from iPod to iTunes after storing iTunes on external drive

Hello,
Question: How do I safely transfer the library from the iPod tp iTunes?
Background: I tried to move my iTunes to a LaCie external hard drive and now my music library is not showing up on iTunes. The complete music library is on my iPod and I would like to know how to copy it back to iTunes.
Currently when I attach the iPod to the computer it gives me an error message that the iPod is connected to a different library.
Some more details:
- When I opened iTunes again after attempting to transfer it to the external hard drive there was a brief set up and then the purchased songs were transfered and those songs are the only ones showing up now on the computer's iTunes.
- I did change the settings under preferences to move iTunes to the D drive (the external hard drive).
- I also tried consolidating the library. It only showed the purchased songs.
How do I safely transfer the library from the iPod tp iTunes?
Thanks so much for your help!

Applications won't transfer from ipod to itunes

I recently got a new computer and I'm having trouble with transferring the applications. Whenever I click transfer purchases from ipod to itunes, nothing happens and when I go into the itunes store logged into my account and try to download previously bought applications, it makes me repurchase it. How can I transfer the applications in my ipod touch to itunes?

Have you authorised your new computer? Purchases will only transfer to a computer authorised to play/use content from the account the purchases were made from. These links may be of some help:

Getting songs from iPod to iTunes on new computer...

My old computer recently crashed and all my songs that were in iTunes are currently on my iPod. I just got a new computer, how do I get the songs off my iPod into iTunes on my new computer without losing any of the songs? Please help me!!

Install iTunes on the new PC and authorise it.
Then you can copy across in various ways...
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.
