Is there a way to get scratches off the back off my ipod?

My ipod has some scratches on the back and i was wondering if there was a way to get them off.

This works for removing scratches from the front and the back.

Is there any way to get scratches off led screen?

I swear the plastic covering the LCD screen is as soft as butter. It gets scratched as easily as the underside of a cd. In hindsight I know i should have always kept it in a protective case, but now that what's done is done is there a way to buff out the scratches?

Here are some ways to remove scratches...

HT1335 Getting music off ipod formatted with a Mac

How do I get music off an ipod that has been formatted on a mac and transfer it to my windows computer?

That may be difficult. The reverse would be easier because Macs can read the Windows disk format (FAT32) used on iPods. Windows cannot read the disk format used by Macs, without additional (not free) software. Here is one such product

If you can make your Windows PC access the iPod's disk, you can probably use one of the third-party methods or utilities for transferring song files from iPod to computer. You cannot use iTunes for transferring song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). An Internet search on something like "ipod transfer" should provide some links.
Once the song files from the iPod are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library and then re-sync the iPod as desired.

Getting Photos off iPod

ok, ok, I know what im about to ask is taboo in the Mac world, but I need to know how to get photos off my iPod. I had lost my 5th Gen iPod about 3 years ago and recently I have found it again and want to get all the photos off of it. I have a new computer currently and I want all the pics off my iPod and onto my MBP. Is there any way I can get the pictures off without spending money and without only being able to download the first six pictures?
Thanks for your help

Old laptop died, can't get music off iPod

So I tried to follow the instructions for backing up my iPod, but I couldn't get it to work.
My old laptop died, but my iPod is fine. I want to transfer my songs from my iPod to the new laptop. My purchased music moved over just fine, but I can't get my CDs (which were ripped as mp3s) over to the new laptop. I'm using Windows, and when I mount the iPod as a hard drive, I only see the following folders:
Calendars
Contacts
Notes
iPod_Control (hidden)
Under iPod_Control, I have Accessories, Artwork, Device, iTunes, and Music subfolders.... the Music subfolder doesn't have any of the file names... any idea on how to quickly fix this? Thanks!

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:

Whats the best way to get photos off ipod touch 4?

I want to get my sons photos off his ipod touch 4 (ios 6-something), and onto a flash drive so he can use them in Windows movie maker, and to free up space on his ipod. Can't use dropbox with ios 6. I've backed up his ipod to our PC, but I can't find where the photos are stored on our computer. Is there an easier way?

Get photos off ipod onto PC

Hi,
I lost all of my data on my PC, and my music/photos/videos are all on my iPod. I can't afford to pay for software to do this. But is there any way I can get my Videos/Photos off the iPod proprietary format, and back onto my Vista PC?
I already got the music off of it by showing hidden files and having iTunes descramble them.
Thanks.

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer", open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
CopyPod Photo
Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

How to get music off ipod touch 5 and onto new hard drive

Help.
My PC crashed. I have an itunes acct. I was able to back up most music to external hard drive - except that which was more recently purchased by son through his ipod touch 5 (that he got for Christmas.)
I see that ipod touch 5 will not open as an external storage device in order to download and back up songs to external hard drive or flash drive...
I have a new laptop. Itunes is not yet installed on it.
I am afraid that if I do install the Itunes - then he plugs in his Ipod to sync - he will sync to an empty folder - thus erasing his songs...
Is this right?
Or do my libraries still exist?
I would really feel most comfortable if I could just get the songs off of his IPod and into back up before I install ITunes on the new laptop.
I can always re-import the songs back into Itunes, can't I?
I am not too computer savvy - please consider in reply.
Thanks all!

"I see that ipod touch 5 will not open as an external storage device in order to download and back up songs to external hard drive or flash drive..."
Correct. The iod touch is not a backup/storage device.
"I am afraid that if I do install the Itunes - then he plugs in his Ipod to sync - he will sync to an empty folder - thus erasing his songs..."
Also correct.
"Or do my libraries still exist?"
Your library will only be where you put them. You shoudl always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.
Copy everything from the backup copy to your new computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: Without syncing - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

Trying to get Pics off Ipod-Not mounting on New Computer

So my laptop got stolen...6 years worth of pics - Gone. They stole my backup drive too. Bummer. Good news is they didn't get my 5th gen 80g Video iPod which has my photo library on it. While waiting for my new laptop, I've set up as a new user on my wife's new white MacBook and plugged in the ipod to see if I can put it into disk mode and see if those photos are even full res or not (3,500 photos-4gig...should be, right? Not sure how I synced it before, but 4gig tells me there's gotta be some resolution there.)
Plugged the iPod in with the USB2...nothing. Didn't show up in iTunes, nor in finder. This is a brand new iTunes with nothing in it (just using this user acct/laptop as a temp) and it's never met this iPod... but then again, that's the same deal when I plug in and charge my iPhone up (don't sync it, obviously) yet it shows up in iTunes and I get the device window with all the info, color coded memory allocation, sync prefs, music, photo, info tabs..etc...but when I do the same with this iPod, no dice.
So since I could do nothing, I had to wince and unplug it and soft reset to get the frozen "Do Not Disconnect" screen off, and about had a heart attack doing so since it's the ONLY copy of my pics and music.
Anyone know why this thing isn't mounting? I also read somewhere that you can put the iPod into disc mode with a select button/click wheel sequence, so maybe I don't even need it to show up in iTunes?
Also, anyone know a good pic recovery program if that doesn't work?
Thanks in advance.
Derrick

Sorry to hear about your computer. Let's hope the thief gets hit by a bus.
Yes there is a button press for manually entering disc mode.

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in Finder, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.

If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.

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

iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod 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

HELP! get video off ipod

recently reformatted my computer. I new i would have issues when i tried to reconnect my ipod to the new version of itunes. No problem i could get my old songs off. The only problem is that i have like ten movies and over 100 videos from google i put on my ipod. I have no idea how to rip my videos off of my ipod. any ideas?

Its slightly difficult to rip movies and videos off of an iPod...
First, since you have Windows XP, go to "My Computer"
Connect your iPod and double click it when it appears
Next, click one of the tabs on the top of the window and find an option called "Folder Options"
Then, find an option on the new window that says "Show Invisible Files", or something along those lines.
Afterwards, click on one of the tabs in the "Folder Options" window and go into file settings. Search for the video format MP4 (Push the M button to quickly go to the M section of all of the file extensions)
This part takes the longest to do. Once you've done everything, click on a folder untill you get a window where there are multiple other folders (Sorry, I forgot the name of the folder to click on).
After that, go through each folder and delete the videos that you want to remove.
The other way to do this would be to download the iPod installer for Windows and restore your iPod to factory default. Personally, this way is better if you don't feel like doing much.

Getting songs off ipod on new comp

l recently got a new laptop, and my old laptop has all my songs on it and l dont have it anymore! and l was wondering if l can plug my ipod into my new laptop and it will get all my songs off my ipod and put it into my itunes on my new laptop! l plugged it in and nothing worked, and on my new itunes l purchased music and it wont add them to my ipod at all! So if ya can help me out would be greatly appriciated
thanks

No, it didn't happen to me before. The last time, I switched computers, but when I tried to sync to the new one, I found that while my music transferred properly, my playlists did not. When I asked for help, someone posted a link to the 3rd party software that could extract both songs and playlists. (I eventually managed to salvage the library file from the old computer, so the issue was moot).
This time, a friend of mine found her old iPod, but the computer it was synced to is long gone. She would like to retrieve the files. Can you help? Do you have any information regarding these programs? Or do you offer nothing more than stupid assumptions and failed attempts at cleverness?
