Copying songs off ipod

I am buying the new ipod video tomorrow and getting rid of my mini. How can i transfer all my songs off my mini though and onto my new one tomorrow? i tried everything i can think of and I cannot get the songs off the ipod

you cant do it with itunes, but you can with other software! i think one i downloaded for a friend is called "ipodrip" or something. this article teaches you how. there are many other programs floating around the web if you dont like the ones described in here though. http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/

Copying Songs from Ipod to new Computer

My previous notebook crashed and all the songs on my Itunes are all gone. I wish to sync songs from my Ipod to the new notebook. How do I go about doing that?
Please help.

Hello Mactan22,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Load songs off ipod to computor or disk

Is there anyway to load songs off ipod to computor or disk?

For 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.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), 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 is a little more involved than other methods.
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 is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

Using itunes with your ipod (deleting songs off ipod)

Hellow, im kinda new to ipod nano and i have a question that i can not find out and is kinda hard for me as a (newb) too figure out. When i open up itunes it shows my Libary and all that good stuff. I plug my ipod in, Than loads, Than it will say Tim's Ipod beacuse that's what i have saved it as. What i want to do is delete some of the songs off my ipod that i have downloaded. Is this possible or no beacuse i dont have a clue.
Thank you
Tim

iTunes for Windows and the standard copy protected songs purchased from the iTunes Store are only compatible with the iPod/iPhone range and the iTunes enabled phones from Motorola. You may be able to get your player working with the aid of a third party helper program. Have a look at this one and see what you think: iTunes Agent -Windows
If your player supports drag and drop through Windows Explorer you can drag tracks from the iTunes Music folder rather than through the iTunes interface. Also remember that many players will not work with AAC (MP4) format at present so if you imported anything from CD into iTunes using the AAc encoder then they will need to be converted to MP3. You won't be able to convert iTunes Store copy protected songs, you can only burn them to data discs for backup or Audio CD to play on other players.

Messed up trying to get songs off ipod

Okay, I really messed up. I have a 7th gen Ipod Nano. I tried to get the music off of my ipod, then put it on my computer so I could put it back on my ipod without getting it erased, if you can follow that. I went into the ipod_control folder and copied the music folder from that into the music folder on my computer. I thought I could just drop that folder back into Itunes and Itunes would sort it out. Now I have a bunch of weird numbered folders in my music folder and since I tried to drag and drop it into itunes, there is 2 gigs of "other" in Itunes that is not showing anything. If someone can help me I would be eternally grateful.

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
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. 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 also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

Copying Songs to iPod and Error(-51)

For some reason, I can't copy songs over to my iPod anymore, but I have plenty of space left. It's a 40 gig model and I have 15 left. When I try and copy a song over, it tells me "Attempting to copy to the disk"..." failed. An unknown error occurred (-51). Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? I tried restarting the iPod already, but that didn't work. I can play all the other songs on my iPod. I'm rather baffled. Thanks.

CK if your warrantee is expired or not,
if it isnt GO NOW! you get free service.
BUT IF NOT! UR SCREWED.
1)Becuz what u have is probably a defect
2)They sold you a 30 gig instead of a 40
3)Some opther part in ur ipod is defected
Apple will charge you more than wat its worth for
service. And you not even garauteed that they
will fix it.
I am personally ****** off at what apple did
to me. My ipod is about as fuked up an ipod can
be and theya re chargin me about 250$ for service
that probably wont do anything.
Apple= Money obssesed, bad customer service.

Want to transfer songs off ipod

My old computer crashed and I lost all the memory. Is there a way I can transfer songs off of my Ipod mini to my new computer?

There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
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.

Is there anyway to get songs off ipod onto computer

Is there anyway to get songs off an ipod onto a computer, i want to put some songs on a different computer

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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
iTunes & iPod software

Playing songs off iPOD without installed software.

Ok so I am aware that if we set my iPod classic to manually manage and disk use mode, we can transfer it around with us and plug it into a computer with itunes we can listen to the music right off the ipod. I am wanting to be able to either install some kind of software on my own USB flash drive, or the ipod unit itself. To be able to play songs off the ipod through any computer without having itunes installed on it. I have came across some "Portable Itunes" software, however those just didn't work properly.
Message was edited by: morbidxbean

if you turn on the ability to show hidden folders in windows you should be able to navigate to the songs on the ipod and play them with windows media player or whatever. the only problem is that they will not be sorted as you would expect. the file names will have random names in random folders but I think windows media player will read the track information if you add it to your playlist.

Same Ipod recognized twice by iTunes, crashes when deleting songs off iPod.

I know that others have had this issue but there was never an answer and it was awhile back so I figured I'd post a new message. Everytime I sync my iPod it is recognized twice by iTunes. What I mean by this is that it looks as if I am syncing two iPods with the same name at the same time, although upon examination there contents appear different (when looking at the color bar that shows how much of the iPod is video, music, other, etc...) In addition, if I attempt to delete a song or songs off of the iPod, Itunes crashes but with no error message, just straight to the desktop, no questions asked. I know this is not a problem with drive letters as I have already checked that out and Windows is only recognizing the iPod once as the Q drive and no other drive shares that letter. Can someone please help? (or will my question end up in the iTunes message board graveyard of unanswered problems like so many others?)

so yeah i just tried that... didnt work. I changed the drive letter from G: to I: and no dice. This is all after i used msconfig to disable all third party services that automatically load at windows start up. Yet once again, those weren't the problem. So i completely uninstalled itunes, redownloaded, and then reinstalled the newest version with the third party services still disabled. Once again, itunes crashes : /
my friend is coming over in a bit and im going to see if i can successfully connect to her itunes. Only other options right now i feel i have is to pay apples sorry *** $30 to help me solve this over the phone.. or i can restore my ipod, then try again : ( any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated : )

Itunes not copying songs to Ipod

I had to reinstall itunes a few weeks ago, since then I've been unable to copy songs from itunes, it recognises my ipod but can't move any songs to it.
I've tried resetting everyting, reinstalling everything, nothing works.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
Thanks

Are you sure that your preferences are at the correct setting?
Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod -> Music".
On either of the "automatic" settings, iTunes should automatically update the songs from either the library or a playlist (depends on the setting) to your iPod.
On the "manual" option, you'll have to manually transfer songs to your iPod, by simply going to the iTunes library, selecting the songs you want on your iPod, and drag-and-drop them over into your iPod's name in the left source area of iTunes.
If you still can't transfer sogns from iTunes to your iPod, then try a restore on your iPod.

I hope this helps you,
