HOW CAN I ACCESS MY IPODS MP3 FILES

i deleted my music folder by mistake and now only have all my mp3's on my ipod, how do i get them off my ipod to a new music folder ...please can anyone help me ?

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all 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. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
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 again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

"Use iTunes to restore". How can I access the iPod w/o losing present data?

I have a request from my grandaughter to download a number of songs to her iPod. I charged the battery fully. When I tried to start it , it read "Use iTunes to restore". How can I access her iPod w/o losing any of her present songs? Please please help.

You can't. Restoring will always erase the device. Unless you have a backup in iTunes or iCloud everything is removed. Purchased items can be re-downloaded as long as the original Apple ID used to purchase them is also used when reconfiguing the device after it is restored.

How can I access old back up files?

I have a seagate back up drive where I pointed time machine to back up my files. I recently replaced my hard drive and was told I would be able to access the back up files to restore any old data I may want. I see the back ups but they are in a darker purple. I only have access to back ups on the external drive I have created since having the replacement drive installed. What is the purpose of backing up data if you can not get to it with another hard drive or computer?
Why is an easy concept such a difficult procedure. Once I point it to the old back ups it should not only see them, but be able to access them.
I have the old drive and other pages referred me to Backups.backedupd to manually get to the back up files. I can search and find backups but there is no folder backedupd. I also cannot find a complete name of the above. It is frustrating not to be able to find an answer to a fairly common question.
Thank You

Was it made using Mountain Lion?
As nice as TimeMachine is now, it wasn't always – it will be 6 yrs since intro'd in 10.5 –
This is what will probably work

Obviously you don't want to make the old drive as active backup destination, but I have two TM drives, both connected (I switch between them for daily, weekly and such) and both show up as standard TM "green" icon on my desktop.
This is a good FAQ

How can I extract both my mp3 file and its associated .jpg out of itunes

Hi everybody,
I'm a DJ and once a month, I like to share a set of mine with my friends. For each set, I also make a dedicated flyer.
I usually put the recorded set in Itunes, then I add the flyers using the "Illustration" (I'm using a French version) tag.
Then, I drag the new file (both the .mp3 and .jpg) on a folder on my computer and I can see the flyers and not the normal Mac icon for music file.
I had always worked, but today I tried to do the same but it doesn't work anymore. In Itunes, my mp3 file contain the flyers, but when I drag it to another folder, the flyer is not there anymore.
What happened???
does anybody know a freeware to associate a mp3 with a .jpg?
Thanks for your help,
Have a nice day
Jean

Bonjour.
I'm not firm with the french iTunes but I'm sure its similar to all other iTunes in the world, except the language of the menus.
You can include the cover (Illustration) inside the music file. mp3, AAC or Lossless makes no difference.
To do so go to:
The song (or songs) by marking it (them) in the main iTunes window. Then right click mouse (or two fingers on touchpad) and choose "Information"
In the information window go to the tab called "cover"
Move the wanted picture via drag & drop into this window. The best format for such illustrations are 500 x 500 pixels. If yours are bigger then iTunes will resize it to fit.
Click on save
If you will change the cover for more than one file (song) you will be ask "you are sure to change all files"
Simply press ok
After that the cover will show up in iTunes and will be exported within the file if you pass the song to others..
There is no reason to place the cover / Illustration in the Music folder cause iTunes uses for imported covers the "Album Artwork" Folder in the Library.

I updated my iPod touch 4 to the latest OS and now the admin doesn't come up. How can I access the iPod admin?

I have unplug and plugged in my iPod to my pc 100 times and admin never comes up. When i go to iTunes I don't see anyway to
get to the iPod admin. I copied quite a few of my CD's into iTunes but can't find a way to sync the player with the itunes on my computer.
I don't like the new update...it changed the look and feel of everything...for the worse.

Many people haven't yet figured out the new default interface in iTunes 11 but it's not that difficult. To get to the iPod information so you can sync, click the iPod button in the header bar at the upper-right, e.g.:
Or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look substantially like it did in earlier versions. If you are running Windows and don't see the menus, press Control-B or go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
Regards.

How can I access my Ipod Model

I have an Ipod, Model #1136, EMC 2065, 30 GB. It has been used in the past and still has music on it. I would like to know what music is on it and likely delete that and put new playlists on it but when I connect it to my laptop (windows 8) it shows stuff that I have no clue what its talking about and it won't let me listen to anything. My laptop has Windows Media Player on it and it won't play any of the music because of an error that keeps coming up about the Ipod not being compatible. It also won't let me eject the Ipod from my laptop. It keeps saying that there is a file still open when there is nothing open at all. From the cc date on the back being 2007, I would assume that this is ok on Windows 7. I would like to use this little Ipod but I need help to know what I'm supposed to do to access it in the first place. Thanks in advance for any help.

SGMS Knight,
Based on the model number that you provided, your device is an iPod Touch 2nd generation.
According to the following Wikipedia page, the highest supported operating system for the iPod Touch 2nd generation is iOS 4.2.1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices#iPod_Touch
Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.0.1 is compatible with iOS 5. However, the App Store does not have the earlier version of Adobe Reader that is compatible with iOS 4.
As a user, you can download and install Adobe Reader for iOS only from the App Store.
You may be able to find other free PDF viewers that are compatible with iOS 4 in the App Store.
Good luck.

How can I transfer my iPod touch files directly to iTunes library?

I wanted to upgrade my iPod because it is still version 4.1 . Every time I try to download apps from the App Store, most of them are only available for newer versions that's why I wanted to upgrade it. Please help me! Thanks in advance.

Follow these insructions. WHn it says to restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
Note:
A 2G can only to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
Identifying iPod models
CAUTION, if you have a 2G iPod
Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to your iTunes library. See:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

How can I access my java class file in a .jar file ...PLz Help anyone!!

Hi Folks,
I am new in Java programming, have a .jar file that contains .java files that I want no access and use from another .java file. These files in the .jar file basically form a library thus have no main-method. However I can not declare an instance of the library (in the .jar file) and use it within my program.
Plz help ...I have tried all I know in vain.
Thanks.

I have upgraded to 10.6.8 on my macbook pro and find I don't have pages. Pages in app store is for 10.10 only. How can I access all my pages files in Snow Leopard?

I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard from Leopard on my macbook pro and now cannot read and write pages. Pages in app store is for 10.10 and above. I don't have a pages application. Where can I get pages for snow leopard?

It's been so long since I bought my macbook pro in August of 2010, but I do remember the iwork disk that had pages, numbers, and keynote on it, but I can't find the disk in my closet. I did not realize that when I took my computer in to the genius bar to upgrade to Snow Leopard, and then to download Yosemite, that I would lose these applications. I had no reason to open pages when I emptied my hard drive to upgrade to Snow Leopard, so I don't know if I kept iwork when I upgraded to Snow Leopard at the Genius Bar. I had file vault on with my external drive on, and since removed it before the upgrade, but now all my documents are unable to open on my external drive. ****. So now the new problem is how do I undo file vault in a new OS 10.10 when encoded in 6.8? Can I take my external drive in to Genius Bar?
I bought my macbook pro at Best Buy, but can't remember if iwork came with this computer, or with an older mac I bought. Can anyone check to see if I have a valid key code, and will insertion of an iwork disc allow me to use pages with Yosmite?

How can I access another class in a MembershipRule's Expression

Hello,
I want to create an InstanceGroup using Module Microsoft.SystemCenter.GroupPopulator.
I need to collect all Logical Disks which contain an MS SQL DB Log File.
I would start as follows:
<DataSource ID="DS" TypeID="SC!Microsoft.SystemCenter.GroupPopulator">
<RuleId>$MPElement$</RuleId>
<GroupInstanceId>$Target/Id$</GroupInstanceId>
<MembershipRules>
    <MembershipRule>
      <MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.LogicalDisk"]$</MonitoringClass>
      <RelationshipClass>$MPElement[Name="MSIL!Microsoft.SystemCenter.InstanceGroupContainsEntities"]$</RelationshipClass>
<Expression>
        <And>
  
          <Expression>
            <SimpleExpression>
              <ValueExpression>
                <Property>$MPElement[Name="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.LogicalDevice"]/Name$</Property>
              </ValueExpression>
              <Operator>Equal</Operator>
              <ValueExpression>
  
                <GenericProperty>$MPElement[Name="SQL!Microsoft.SQLServer.2008.DBLogFile"]/Drive$</GenericProperty>

          </Expression>
        </And>
      </Expression>
    </MembershipRule>
</MembershipRules>
</DataSource>
In the first expression you "see" my question:
I want to compare the LogicalDisk's Name Property with the DB Log File's Drive property.
But how can I access the DB Log File's Drive property in this MembershipRule ?
Furthermore LogicalDisk and DB Log File must be hosted on the same Windows Computer.
Would be great if somebody could help.
Thanks
Sebastian

Hi Niki,
thanks for the idea, but that will not work. $Target/Id$ refers always to the group to be discovered.
On last week end I was given following idea, hope it will work:
Step 1
Collect all the DB SQL Logfile Objects and write computername (PrincipalName?) and Driveletter into a textfile, line by line. Shouldn't be a problem, PowerShell is your friend.
Step 2
Read the file from Step 1, build discovery data for each disk drive as object of class "Logical Disk (Server)",
and then discover the containment-relationships from those Logical Drive(Server) Objects to the InstanceGroup.
Perhaps I must do it for the OS-Version related Disks, because I need the target classes of the Logical Disk Freespace monitors. Some more work. "Risks": I donot know the discovery algorithm for the Logical Disk(Server) Objects, but a "deep
dive" into the MPs should help.
Thanks to all, who have read.
I will inform you about progress and success

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.
