How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
Thank you!

That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer. It is not related to your question.
You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod. You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

Backing up music files from 60GB iPod (directly) to an external hard drive

I'm interested in backing up all of the music that's currently stored in my iPod. First off, I suppose it would entail knowing how to locate the music files within the iPod, and then figuring out how to upload.
One step I'd also prefer to avoid is to have to copy my music onto my laptop (to iTunes) and then reroute to the external hard drive. Would it be possible to just route/copy the music directly from iPod to external hard drive? I don't think I have enough memory to house all of my 30gb worth of music all at once on my computer, so if I do end up having to go through the laptop, I'd have to download in batches.
Ultimately, I'm just trying to avoid having to download all of my music files from my CDs again. It took me two months last time, which is way too long an ordeal.
Any help/ tips/ previous threads on the topic would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Senuti won't work on Windows, it's for Mac only.
Try Yamipod. This is a similar free program which works on both Mac and Windows that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.

How to download a text file from the server

hi everyone,
can anyone tell me how to download and read a text file from the server and saved in into resource folder.
with regards
pallavi

its really easy
To read from server, use something like:
HttpConnection connector = null;
InputStream inp_stream = null;
OutputStream out_stream = null;
void CloseConnection()
     if(inp_stream!=null)inp_stream.close();
     inp_stream=null;
     if(out_stream!=null)out_stream.close();
     out_stream=null;
     connector.close();
     connector = null;
public void getResponse(String URL,String params)
try
     if(connector==null)connector = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(URL);//URL of your text file / php script
     connector.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
     connector.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1");
     connector.setRequestProperty("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
     //connector.setRequestProperty("charset","windows-1251");
     //*** If you need to send ("arg1=value&arg2=value") arguments to script use this:
     out_stream = connector.openOutputStream();
     byte postmsg[] = params.getBytes();
     out_stream.write(postmsg);
     int rc = connector.getResponseCode();//in any case here connection will be opened & closed
     if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK)
          CloseConnection();
          throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
     inp_stream = connector.openInputStream();
     int pack_len = inp_stream.available();
     byte answ[]=new byte[pack_len];
     inp_stream.read(answ);
     CloseConnection();
     ProcAnswer(answ);//process received data
catch(Exception ex)
     System.err.println("ERROR IN getResponse(): "+ex);
} And you can read from resource file like
public void loadFile(String filename)
    DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/"+filename));
    String str="";
    try
         while (true)
            ch = dis.read();//read character
            if(ch=='\r')continue;//if file made in windows
            if(ch=='\n' || ch==-1)//end of line or end of file
                if(str.length()==0)continue;//if empty line
                //do some thing with "str"
                if(ch==-1)break;//it was last line
                str="";//next line
                continue;
             str+=(char)ch;
       dis.close();
   catch (Exception e)
       System.err.println("ERROR in loadFile() " + e);
}Welcome! =)

How do you delete files from the iPod?

i have a 30GB iPod, but i was wondering how you delete music from the iPod? and also is it possible to play the music from the iPod?
30GB iPod. Windows XP 30GB iPod.

There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod. Songs that have no check mark against them will be skipped over when played back in iTunes.
If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, all these settings can be found in the summary screen.
If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.
To play music from an iPod through iTunes, you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
This will make the songs on the iPod accessible and playable.

I used to download illegal music files from limewire, I don't anymore though, and I've since deleted them all from my iPod and will never do it again, but could I get in trouble for what I did before?

And how can I delete the illegal music files on iTunes that me and my brother used to download? Maybe I could delete or report the music files, I really love apple and I really don't want to do this illegal stuff anymore. It's really not fair to anyone and it's also wrong. (Something I somehow couldn't see when I first got my iPod back in 2009) I buy all my music from iTunes now on my iPod, and have since deleted all the data which includes all the songs from my iPod (for a while I didn't use my iPod for music, just games) I am now afraid to put the songs I purchased and downloaded on iTunes on my computer with all of the pirated music! Please help, I really just want to know overall if apple could hate me for this, and what I can do to delete all the songs from iTunes (like the ones me and my brother downloaded that he still uses, though I guess I can't control that.)
Is it just me or was I never meant to feel like an honest user? (I really want to feel like I am)

Firstly, where do I go to delete the songs from my hard drive? Can I delete them straight from iTunes?
You can delete them right from iTunes:
- Click on the song to highlight it (select it). Alternatively, you can Control-Click on a number of songs to select them.
- Go to Edit in the Menu bar and choose Delete (alternatively, you can Right-Click on the song and choose Delete from the pop-up menu.
- You'll be asked "Are you sure you want to remove the selected song from your iTunes library." Click Remove.
- Next, you'll be asked " Do you want to move the selected song to the Recycle Bin, or keep it in the iTunes Media folder?" Click "Move to Recycle Bin"
- Empty The Recycle Bin on your desktop.
Can I delete all the illegal songs including the ones my brothers (Apparently more than one are doing this) downloaded? Would it be somehow against the rules to delete their songs even if they didn't pay for them?
It's best to talk to your brothers before deleting their stuff. Tell them how uncomfortable you feel about having 'stolen property' in your shared iTunes Library.
Could their downloading of these songs get me in trouble somehow? And lastly, should I still use iTunes on this computer if they're doing this?
If this is your computer and the Music Distributers find out through your Internet Service Provder that you/your brothers are illegally downloading/sharing music then you can get in trouble.
You can continue to use iTunes but I would really try to get this resolved with your brothers. Hope this helps and as I said earlier, you are doing the right thing by buying music legally!

How can I transfer music files from my ipod touch to my pc without knowing the apple id password associated with the device?

Tunes pourchases are locked to the account and y ohave to know the password to use them/transfer them to the computer

No music on ipod but in disk mode I can play the files from the ipod

My company now requires our laptops to be encrypted. So we have this Utimaco Safeware stuff installed. Ever since it was installed my ipod no longer can play music. Odd thing is I can put the ipod into enable disk use and the songs are there and I can play them in quicktime. After I disconnnect the ipod the ipod tells me there is no music.

If the files were placed on the iPod outside of iTunes or another iPod manager, the iPod will not recognize them as songs. Those transferred to the iPod through iTunes will not normally be visible as files on it.

How do I copy music files from an iPod 5thGen to a new iTunes installation?

My old WinXP computer crashed & burned (literally). I installed iTunes (11.2.2.3) on my new Win7 PC. How do I copy all my music from my 5th Gen iPod into the new iTunes? My music collection contains only MP4 files ripped from my CD collection--nothing purchased from the iTunes Store. I located a folder named Apple on one of my old flash drives which contains a subfolder named iTunes Music. That folder contains subfolders for each of my original CDs with MP4s for all the tracks. Could I use those files to restore my music to iTunes?

If is a MicroSD card you'll need a MicroSD to SD card adapter. Something like this.
Once you have one of those just insert it into the SD card slot on your Mac then open a Finder window and select all the images and press Command + c to copy then go to the folder you want to put them in and select it and press Command + v to paste to that folder.

How do I transfer the music files on the ipod to a computer

Is that not supposed to be done. That is what I thuoght this thing was for. I am really confused. The only thing I would like to do is put what I have on my I pod onto my laptop. What am I doing wrong.

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists 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.

You need to visit that link on your N900, not your PC. Tap the green download arrow and app manager will start and automatically download and install it.
Or try going to X-Terminal on your N900, become root and then type:
apt-get install petrovich
Either one of those methods will install it.
