Getting music from corrupted iPod

I recently had problems with my laptop which forced me to do a destructive recovery that brought my laptop back to its factory state. This meant all memory, including all my iTunes music, was erased. However, I still have my iPod which was synchronized with iTunes before my laptop crashed. ITunes recognized my iPod (after many tries) and said that it was corrupted. I tried reconnecting, and now I am supposed to do a restore, but doing so would erase all my music. Is there any way to avoid this? I now know that I should backup my music, but anyway to get my music back on the laptop would be awesome.

How do i get music from my ipod nano onto my iphone 3g

How do i get music from my ipod nano onto my iphone 3g????

You don't.
You sync music from itunes on your computer to iphone.
Everything that is on your Nano should be in itunes on your computer, as that is where it came from in the first place.
Just sync whatever you like to your iphone.

Getting music from your iPod onto your hard drive?

Hey,
I am trying to transfer some music files from my iPod on to my hard drive. I have tried dragging them on to the hard drive and I went through all the options and configurations and yet I can't seem to figure it out.
Can someone please help me out and tell me how to get music from my iPod on to my computer hard drive?
Thanks,
CP

You cant drag your music from your ipod to your computer, you have to use a third-party program to do it. There are many you can use, so try searching it on google. Some i can rememeber are yamipod, and copyipod.

How do I get music from my iPod to computer

My desktop computer crashed and needed to be re-formatted. Luckily, I had backed up all of my downloaded music on an external hard drive. Unfortunately, I did not have all of the music from CD's on my iTunes backed up.
So in other words, I have an iPod with ALL of my songs...both downloaded and from music CD's. I have a computer with my downloaded songs. How can I get music (from cd's) from my iPod back to my computer? I no longer have all of the music CD's to just put them back on.

iTunes will only let you copy your 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 (including purchases) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
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

How to get music from old ipod to new computer

I have an old iPod nano and I want to get the music to my new computer (iTunes).
How do I transfer it without losing the music? All the music in the iPod used to be stored in my old computer/itunes, which not longer exists.

Hi rominabate,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to move your music from your iPod to your new computer. The article linked below provides several options for recovering music from your devices and backups, like transferring music that was purchased from the iTunes Store on your iPod to your computer.

How to get music from the iPod to my computer?

Is it possible to get the music from an ipod and put it on your computer? Because i would like to switch all my music from my ipod to my new computer, and i got rid of all the original music.

Hello karakamikaze,
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."

How can i get music from my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

How can i get music on my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

iPods (except iPod touch which is really an iPhone minus the phone) only sync with your computer running iTunes. So it needs to go through the computer.
Since you loaded the iPod from your computer's iTunes library, you can just load the same songs from your iTunes library to the iPad.

GET MUSIC FROM OLD IPOD TO NEW IPOD

so i recently got the color ipod for my birthday, and i have the older model ipod [first ipod made i believe?]. i also am using a different computer than when i was first using my old ipod. i have about 3500 songs on my old ipod, and i dont know how to get the songs on my new ipod. they arent on my new computer, so ive been trying everything i can think of, if anyone can help me, it would be very much appreciated !!
toshiba Windows XP

First of all, put the music from the old iPod back to your new computer (and then into iTunes).
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.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
Once the music is safely in your new iTunes library, you can transfer it to the new iPod.
