How do I get music out of an ipod classic?

I erased all my music from my computer by accident, i still have it on my ipod, what can i do ?

Hi bernicemily,
If you have an Internet connection but plan to go to an area without an Internet connection, you should be able to download the songs in advance.
iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button Cloud with an arrow pointing down next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
Take care,
Nubz

  • How do i get music off an old ipod

    How do i get music off an old ipod classic into my windows 8 system when it doesn't find the ipod when i plug it into the usb?

    Hi aekdbaker ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have music on your iPod that you would like to transfer into your iTunes library on your Mac.
    If those songs you wish to transfer were purchased, there are two different ways you can accomplish this. The first way, which does not even require you connecting your iPod to the computer, would be to re-download them from iTunes in the Cloud directly to your iTunes library. Directly connecting your iPod to your Mac to transfer purchases is an option as well. Instructions for both methods of gathering your past purchases in your iTunes library on your Mac are available in the attached article.

  • How do i get water out of my ipod touch

    How do I get water out of my ipod touch?

    Put it in a sealed container with a desiccant for a week and periodically change the desiccant . Uncooked rice works.
    It may or may not work OK afterwards.
    Do not charge or use until dry.

  • How do I get the volume on my ipod classic to the same level for all songs?  Some are louder than others.

    How do I get the volume on my ipod classic to the same level for all songs?  Some songs are a lot lower than others.

    Coverflow in iTunes is sorted by Album Artist whereas coverflow on the iPod classic is sorted by Artist. Unfortunately, there is no way to set this on your iPod. This is such a fumble on Apple's part that I'm beginning to think they're becoming another Microsloth with buggy firmware and products.

  • Getting music out of my iPod to computer

    Can someone help me? recently my computer's HD died and I replaced,formated,and set it all up,but when I installed the new iTunes 7,I lose my mind.I don't see how I can get my music out of my iPod mini and into the new iTunes library. The only music that actually transfered from my iPod to the new library was 5 songs I had purchased from the iTunes store,(after I authorized this same computer again). How can I straighten this mess out? I want to have all the 300 songs in my iPod on the computer again and for all the new songs I have to get put into the iPod.

    Apple doesn't support the transferring of music from your iPod to your iTunes. Only iTunes to iPod. So to do this you will need to download a third party program that will help copy your music from your iPod back to your computer, or there are a couple manual methods you can check out.

    If your iPod is set to automatically update and you plug it into iTunes, a message will pop up telling you that your iPod is linked to another library. It will ask if you want to sync and replace all your music. Make sure you hit NO. If you sync with an empty library, then your iPod will also end up empty, because when it syncs it makes an exact copy of your library.
    Goodluck, hope something works for ya

  • How do I get music from my old ipod to new one please ?

    I have tried bbut cannot seem to get music from my old ipod to my new ipod. I lost old one long ago and recently found it and much loved n' missed songs . I since replaced pc and saved no music . I tried connecting both ipods to my laptop but no luck getting songs from old to new !!  Any help would be greattly appreciated pelase n' thank you :-)

    Hi Lea64!
    If your music was ripped from CDs, you will need to re-rip it to your iTunes library on your new computer. But if you bought your music from iTunes, they are still in iCloud, and you can redownload them at no cost. Sign in to the iTunes Store on your computer, then click on "Purchased" on the list on the right hand side. You'll see everything you have ever bought from iTunes in there, and anything that's not currently on your computer will have a little cloud with a downward pointing arrow in it. Click on the cloud symbol next to whatever you want to download, and it will download to your computer. Plug in your iPod and synch it, and you're done. Hope this helps!

  • How do I get music out of "icloud" and turn it off? Didn't/don't want it.

    How do I get my music out of icloud and turn it off? Didn't/don't want my music in the clouds, I want it in my ipod where I can listen to it.
    Thank you.

    You can go into your settings and turn icloud off. It will remove what is there. Your music is on your ipod and you should be able to listen to it. icloud stores the music to share/update your other devices - ipad, iphone etc. so you only need to make a chage on one device. The cloud changes it in all other devices.

  • How do I get music off an old iPod and put it on a new iPhone?

    I have an older model iPod that was synced to my computer back in 2007. Obviously that computer is LONG gone. What I'd like to do now is transfer all the music off the iPod to my new iPhone but I can't figure out how. I downloaded iTunes and plugged in my iPod and iPhone but it hasn't seemed to help.
    How do I do this?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Once the music from the old iPod is back in iTunes, configure to sync to your iPhone.

  • How do you get music off of your Ipod that is not wanted?

    My ipod has automatically taken all of my music from my itunes library. However there is some music that I do not want to have on it. How do I take selected songs off the ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

    Use your iTunes preferences (on the top menu bar: iTunes->preferences->ipod
    (with your iPod connected to the computer) and change the transfer preferences to specific play lists or set it to manual update (see below for deleting individual songs). I have several play lists on iTunes which I automatically update to the iPod.
    (from the iTunes HELP file under "ipod preference, deleting songs..."
         Deleting songs from your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle
    You can remove individual songs from your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle. (Deleting a song from your iPod does not delete it from your iTunes music library.)
    ¥
    To delete a song from your iPod or iPod mini, first make sure the player is set up to transfer songs manually (in the iPod pane of iTunes Preferences). Then select the player in the Source list, select the song you want to delete, and press the Delete key.
    ¥
    To delete a song from your iPod shuffle, make sure your iPod shuffle is attached to your computer, then select the song you want to delete in the iPod shuffle playlist, and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    For information about setting up your iPod or iPod mini to transfer songs manually, search "iTunes and Music Store Help."

  • Getting music off of an iPod classic

    Hi Everyone,
    Heres the situation:
    I have an Ipod classic (5th Gen I think, white, 60gb) that I used for almost three years no issue. I have tons of music on it. My dock cable developed a short and it took me a while to figure that one out. Obviously something got messed up because it wouldn't (and still won't) connect to my computer ( I get the USB not recognized message when I connect it). It will play all the songs.
    I can get it charge on my car charger through much manipulation. After a few months of headache I bought a new iPod classic. I didn't back up my old library (stupid I know) and now I only have a fraction of the tunes I like on my new iPod.
    Question.
    Is there anyway to get the songs off of my old iPod onto my computer? I googled it and read through most of the software descriptions, but it seems at one stage or another the computer has to recognize the iPod in some fashion and mine won't
    Thanks for your help

  • How can I get an album from my iPod Classic 80GB onto my refurbished MacBook Air?

    Hi there
    I have a new to me refurbished MacBook Air and an old iPod Classic 80GB.  I've somehow managed to get my music off my iPod onto my laptop apart from one album which doesn't seem to have copied across.  Please could anyone tell me how to do this?  On my ancient iBook, back in the day, you could just drag music across to copy it but that doesn't work here.  I've looked on Help about backing up, but it's a bit cond=fusing as the set up isn't the same the Help section mentions, although I must have managed to back up to have the rest of my music on my laptop at all.
    Also, please could someone explain syncing to me?  I've looked on Help, but i still don't know what it means.
    Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm not that clued up technically, thought trying to educate myself bit by bit now I have my own laptop.
    Thank you in advance.

    Ps Just to add a bit more information, I just realised there are loads of albums on my iPod I don't have on iTunes on my laptop.  I wonder if the ones that /are/ on my laptop got there are there because there got there via me having the same apple id.  I don't know if that's a ridiculous suggestion, but thought I'd better mention it. 

  • HT1351 How do I get iTunes to recognize my ipod classic?

    I have a library on my ipod classic. can't import them to itunes-it doesn't recognize my classic. i have read all the articles about how to connect, etc but none of the stuff worked.
    I bought an ipod touch and now have to copy all my CDs into itunes to get the MANY songs to my touch.
    How could apple make it almost impossible to use older ipods with itunes???

    The latest iTunes works with my old 3rd gen iPod from 2003, and no doubt works with the original iPod from 2001.  So I don't think the problem is iTunes.
    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar, which is where the iPod appeared in previous versions.  If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the iPod should appear under DEVICES.  It does not appear there when you connect it?
    When you connect it, does anything happen on the iPod's screen?  Does the iPod's battery charge when connected?  Does the iPod still work (as an iPod) for listening to its music?

  • How do I transfer music from my old iPod classic to my new computer with a blank iTunes library?

    I have over 700 songs on my iPod classic, a movie, and a few shows.
    My old computer, which is totally fried, has my whole library.
    My new computer has a blank library.
    I want to transfer everything from my iPod classic, or even better, my iTunes library, to my new computers iTunes library.
    How do I go about doing this both manually and with some sort of automatic application assistence (i.e., something I can download to do this for me)?
    Thank you so much.
