Hi. Transferring songs from i-Pod to Mac

My old Windows PC recently crashed, taking with it the 3500 songs I had in i-tunes. Fortunately, I still have them on my i-pod Classic. However, am I right in thinking that there is no way of transferring them from my i-pod to my Mac without purchasing some software package, which I am reluctant to mess about with ?
Any help gratefully received !

Transferring songs from Ipod to new mac

I recently purchased a new mac after my dell computer crashed. As a result of this the only source I have for my 1000+ songs is my ipod touch. I have already gone to my preferences and set it so my ipod does not sync automatically and did the same for my sister and her new dell laptop. I was able to connect her ipod to her computer and transfer all of her purchased items with no problem but now am unsure on how to transfer the rest? Also on my own computer when I plug my ipod in, it seems that the computer is not detecting the connection as it won't let my click the 'Transfer Purchases From Ipod' button. Also my ipod does not show up on the left side on my itunes underneath the 'Devices.' Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks!

Transferring songs from i-pod mini to computer

I need to transfer my song list from my i-pod mini to my new IBook. The only issue is that I do not have the old computer. Is this possible without the I-Tunes library folder from the old computer?

Jeff:
Thanks for the info, but I am a computer novice. How do I get my i-pod in disk mode? My i-pod mini is called Ann's I-Pod, and my user name is Ann & Tony or the quick name is anntony. Can you help me?

Moving songs from I pod to I pod

I have bought my daughter a new I pod for her birthday - how do I go about transfering all of her music from the old pod to the new one? Not all of the music is purchased as she has transfered songs from her CD collection too.

You can't transfer directly from one iPod to another. If the songs you had on your previous iPod are still in iTunes they will load onto your new one. You just need to connect your new iPod and follow the on screen instructions to register and name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like.
If the songs on the old iPod are no longer in iTunes you need to copy them back there so they can be used by the new one. iTunes will only let you 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 and including iTunes 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:

I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices

I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

Make sure your device iOS is updated:

ITunes won't open after transferring songs from old Mac.

I recently got a new MacBook Pro and used my external HD to copy and paste my songs from my old computer to the new one. It seemed to work immediately, but ever since I closed iTunes after the transfer, I cannot open the application at all. What I get is this error message:
I've tried to re-install iTunes; that made no difference. I looked into Finder to see if my files were still there, and there was no change. All of the songs play if I open them in Quicktime, but I get the same error message as above if I try to open them in iTunes.
Let me know if anyone knows what to do here. Thanks in advance!

Hi, mbuco12.
Thank you for the question. This sounds like you will need to rebuild your iTunes library file. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.
