Hard Drive Crashed Reinstall iPOD Software

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can transfer all the tunes from my iPOD shuffle to my newly installed hard drive? I loaded the software to the new hard drive but I can't transfer the tunes from the shuffle to the new library.....

Hi,
If you don't have copy of the songs then you may use the software anapod to copy the songs from the iPod to the computer.

  • Hard drive crash - reinstalling library

    My hard drive crashed and I've installed a new one on my G5. All songs in my library are intact on my iPod, but I need to re-populate my iTunes directory on the Mac. Can someone guide me here? Thank you.

    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. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: 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. 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
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy 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
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, 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.

  • Hard drive crash, reinstall Photoshop CS2

    I recently had a serious event with my MacBook Pro's hard drive. The Geniuses got it going again, but I'm now having issues with Photoshop (CS2). I need to reinstall the software to fix it, but I've used up my two "licenses" for the software. I can't reload directly from the CD's - it won't allow it.
    Is there a way to bypass this software permission, or do I need to reformat my computer and start over?
    Thanks!

  • Hard Drive Crashed-Reinstalled iMov-can't move Events/Projects

    I had to put new Hard drives into my Mac Pro. I did manage to salvage my Projects and Events by copying them temporarily to an external drive. I have since copied them on to a partition of one of the new internal drives.
    I then had to reinstall iMovie from my iLife disc.
    Now, when I open this new iMovie, I see all the internal and external drives and volumes, but none of my Events or Projects show up. Each drive has a downward triangle and nothing showing under it.
    I read instructions and posts and as best I can understand, I am supposed to drag a Project icon, holding down command or copy, onto the icon of the drive I want it on in the Project Library list.
    But as soon as I get my curser carrying the Project into the Project Library window, all the drives shift out of reach and it becomes the empty dark grey Project Library panel.
    I tried the same with Events but there, the drives don't move but what I am trying to drag and rop does not turn into a plus sign and if I let go it does nothing.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Help? Thanks

    Appleman-that was fantastic. Thank you. Copied those folders over to new drive at top level, opened iMovie and viola!
    People like you make learning fun.

  • After hard-drive crash & reinstall got evrything back but photos

    My hard drive went and had to be replaced. I managed to receover some stuff b4 replacing it. I then installed iTunes into this new drive, managed to get everything back--that is to say I can see and play my music in itunes, the genres, title etc are all correct. yes everything seems a-OK but the album art. The album art folder which I created (my own folder wth my own art.) is still there but it no art shows in itune. How do i get the art back?
    Was there perhaps a specific fle I needed for it? If yes, which one and where does it go? (Since I may have it saved)
    or is there another solution without me having to go the l;aborious thing of having to reinsert album art for all of my music files (4,258 songs X 10 seconds each to do so equals 12hours non-stop)
    Thanx

  • Sarafi won't start up. Hard drive crashed, reinstalled Lion from Safe Mode. and Safari still won'topen. I get an error message. There are no files in the extensions folder.

    How do I clear the error in Safari? I've reinstalled Lion 3 times and the error won't clear.

    Well Apple Suupport is still tops in every book.
    The fix for my problem was so ridiculously simple, I can't beleived it worked.
    But somehow the mouse install disk (stuck in the drive) was disrupting the start up. I was instructed to take the batteries out of the wireless mouse.
    IT WORKED.
    Not sure if anyone that's had this similar problem is using wireless devices, but take the batteries out of them, use plug in devices to work around the problem, eject the CD and if you luck out like I did, it'll work
    Thanks Apple my faith is renewed

  • Restore Itunes Library - Hard Drive Crash - from Ipod

    I have a very large library of music - Many CD's - I have been able to restore my purchases from Apple store - My Ipod has 80 to 90% of my music on it - I do not wish to have to reload around 100 CDs of music - Is there a way to get the music that is on my Ipod back into my Itunes library without having to reload all my CD - Please I do not want to have to do this from scratch

    there are many third party apps that will do this.
    If you are willing to pay a few bucks, Music Rescue is one of the best imo as far as features go: http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/products/musicrescue/

    My old hard drive crashed and had to get it replaced. How do I reinstall my old library to the new hard drive from my iphone4s so I don't lose my music?

    Officially you don't. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • I recently had a hard drive crash and had to reinstall PS. Now it doesn't work right.

    I recently had a hard drive crash. I replaced the C: drive with a solid state and now have 3 internal HDs. C: for the OS (Windows 7), D: for data and P: for program installation. Because I replaced the C: drive, I had to re-install all my programs. Now, PhotoShop will not let me place text, inserting the text tool causes the program to stop responding. In InDesign, if I try to place a MS Word document, it acts as if I never did that action and I can't get it placed.
    I can copy and paste, but doing so makes the formatting get left behind. I suspect it may not have installed correctly. I've used Adobe products since 1991 and never had this happen before. I even used Aldus PageMaker before the Suites were available. Can anyone help? Is it a reinstallation issue?
    I use PhotoTools from OnOne and if I uninstall it to reinstall CS4, I'm afraid it will no longer honor my product key.
    I will not give up until this work like it used to. I'm too old to upgrade.

    The faulty HD was replaced with a solid state one and that works fine. The fan that caused the errors on the old HD was removed. The system is probably not an issue since I had to reinstall my Windows 7 and it was the only thing installed on the C: drive. I have another drive that I run programs from and one other that I use only for data. Plus a backup drive. The BIOS was reset. The only remaining problems I have are trying to find the software for the web cam driver and I think I will just download it again and my problem with PhotoShop and InDesign. Those two are the sticky ones,I depend on those programs. They work, even my PhotoTools plugin works. The only problems seem to be using the type tool in PS and placing MS Word documents (.docs and .docxs) I think the program must not have installed correctly but I'm afraid if I reinstall it, it might be worse and then I might have to reinstall PhotoTools. That would require calling the company again because when I reinstalled it the last time, it said that it couldn't accept the product #, it had been used before. Yeah, by me. I called them and they gave me a new number, but I don't know if they will be happy if I do that again. So, my best bet is to see if I can fix those two functions. Thank you for your response. let me know if you have anything to add. I appreciate your time.

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:
