Copying tunes FROM iPod to PC

is this possible?
suppose i accidently delete an album from my pc, can i copy it back from my iPod?

If the music was bought from the iTunes store, yes, iTunes 7 can copy music from the iPod to the computer. If the music came from another source you'll have to download a third party program to copy music from the iPod to the computer.
Note: if you intend to delete music from your computer to save space it is a very bad idea. There are too many things that can happen to your iPod; it can be lost, stolen, die a tragic death beneath a bus...If you delete music from your computer back it up to a CD or DVD first.

    Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane.  This brings you to the Summary tab.  Locate and click on the Music tab.  What configurations do you have made from under this tab?  Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

  • 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."

  • Copying files from ipod to macbook

    I just got a brand new Macbook and want to transfer my music from my itunes library from my old PC to this computer. The problem is my old computer has a really bad virus and I can't use it until I get new antivirus software and remove it. Is there any way to reformat the ipod to the mac version and load my music from my ipod to this computer without completely erasing my songs? I'm trying to avoid using the old computer at all and still transfer all my songs to this computer...Is that possible??

    The mac can see and use a Windows formatted iPod just fine...

    Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

  • Copying tunes from my iPod to my computer.

    I recently built a new computer, and therefore the songs that are on my iPod are not on my computer. Is there a way to copy songs from my iPod (not the library!) to a folder on my computer?
    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 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.

  • Can't copy tunes to iPOD mini

    Using iPOD mini 1.4.1. Computere specs are below.
    Having great difficulty with iPOD mini. Cannot copy tunes or playlists......"that have been purchased via iTunes store ........... Get a window telling a particular song cannot be copied, and lists other "problems" meaning songs which also cannot be loaded.
    Does this have anything to do with the "cannot copy an iTune more than 7 times? If so, why won't it copy a tune that was just purchased and is being copied to the iPOD mini for the first time?
    If this "7 times rule" (not sure where I read that, but recall doing so) is what's in the way, is there anything I can do about it on my end or do I have to call Apple.
    This is not a situation where I'm just out to make copies for college friends. This is a problem related to having the Mac in the shop for the better part of a month. It was taken in to upgrade RAM from 256 MB to 1 GB, a routine procedure I was told. however, they had "issues" installing the RAM, resulting in a failed logic board, and other problems, then another logic board failure.
    Now it's home. Trying to determine whether or not it's really fixed. The iTunes area is one problem we've already noticed. When we hooked it up, it copied the entire music library, went through several attempts to straighten it out, including "syncing," unsyncing" whatever. It would just delete songs, then we had to recopy them back onto the iPod. In general, a mess.
    Any thoughts/advice would be very much appreciated.

    Sorry, one more thing:
    tried to burn CD, got message "You are not aurhorized to burn song to CD" then list number of problems, which were the number of songs I was trying to burn.
    Somethings's seriously wrong here.
    Please help

  • I cannot move tunes from ipod to computer

    I had to re-install the operating system for my Power Mac G4. When I "enable disk" in the summary page for my ipod, I am unable to move tunes back to my computer. Does anyone know how to do this?

    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 music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    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 at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
