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?

Computer Crashed...trying to get songs from Ipod onto new comp...

I looked at a few old threads with similar problems and got myself to the very beginning part where you say "no" to replacing your old library with the "new, improved" empty library (GAWD!) and then I clicked on my Ipod in the "source list" to change it to "manual updates" and then it started to UPDATE!! I freaked out and despite it saying "Do not disconnect" I quickly disconnected it. Soooo, now what?
This is SO STUPID! Why on earth is it so difficult to get your songs reloaded into Itunes once you re-load it onto your computer?! I am sure I'm not the first person to have a computer crash. {frustrated!!!}
Thanks for any help!
p.s. My computer guy told me to just do a search on my comp for all my old "*.mwv" files but that didn't bring back any of the 100's of songs I had loaded off of discs...just a few that I had downloaded.

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
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.

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:

Computer died - anyway to get songs from ipod to new computer

My computer died - the hard disk crashed and we have no access to any data on the computer. We have about 250 songs on the ipod - and have downloaded itunes on a new computer. The songs on the ipod are both songs that were purchased from itunes as well as songs from our personal CD collection.
Is there any way to get songs from the ipod to the new computer?

You can try a couple of third party software packages to sync from your Ipod back to your Windoze installation of Itunes. I've provided some links for you here:

If these links don't work for you, just google IPOD to PC and you'll get the information to come up. I think these 3rd party conduits only run about $20. (Well worth the investment.) Good luck!

Getting songs off Ipod after Reformatting

Hello, I reformatted my hard drive earlier this week, and I need to get my songs off my Ipod and put them onto Itunes. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

Hey there,
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document 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."

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.

Can't get purchases off iPod onto new computer?

My old laptop crashed and I have recently replaced it. I have downloaded the iTunes software and now I'm trying to get the songs from my iPod to upload to iTunes so I can manage all my music. I have authorized my computer and some of the music has transferred, but I'm getting an error message which notifies me "Cannot transfer 100+ songs as you are not authorized to play them on this computer." Then it proceeds to give me instructions to authorize the computer. When I again attempt to authorize, it tells me the computer is already authorized. I have shut down, hoping this will solve the problem, but the same thing keeps occurring. Any ideas? I have no other working computers with any of this music. I want to load up some new music but if I sync at this point all my previous purchases will be lost.

try activating / Copying as Administrator (the 'real' admin)
or, if you dnt have ipod touch, enable use as External Volume, and then copy the music files/folders AS THEY ARE from X:\iPo_Control\Music (X: is the letter of yor iPod, may be differnent) into iTunes folder, and then import them; Itunes will arrange them correctly in file system

Replaced hard drive: need helping getting songs off ipod to itunes

I recently had to send my computer into apple for repair, needless to say they had to replace my hard drive so i lost all of my music. However it is still on my ipod, so i was wondering if there is a way to transfer it from my ipod to my computer

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.

Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Need to get songs off ipod to itunes

I just bought a new laptop and need to know how to get my itunes library off of my ipod and onto my itunes library on the laptop....help please!

Have you not got your old computer (so you could copy playlists) or a backup of your content that you can copy onto your new computer ? If you haven't got a backup then you will need a third-party program - you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

New Computer, How do I get songs from iPod to New computer?

Please Help

Why don't you simply copy them from your old computer?
Much easier and faster.
When I see these posts, it brings back memories of posts when people get stolen iPods and then want to copy the music too.
Not saying you did that, but I do wonder why you need to do that? I've had a dozen iPods and lord knows how many computers in the last five years since the iPod's arrival, and I never had to do that once.

Software to get songs off an iPod

what's the best software to get songs off an iPod on windows?

Hi BigRedCube,
There are lots of good programs that can transfer your songs form your iPod. I specially like two, though.
In my opinion, [iPod Access|http://www.findleydesigns.com/ipodaccess/index.html] ou o [iRepo|http://www.purpleghost.com/index.php?q=irepo] are excellent, once they have iPod Touch/iPhone compatibility and can also transfer your important metadata.
Hope this helps!
