How do I recover tunes from my iPod after a hard disk crash?

I've just received my PowerMac back after a hard disk crash and am having to reinstall all software etc.
My iPod obviously contains all the music I'd downloaded from the iTunes music store and all the CD's I'd loaded manually into iTunes.
I can't see any way of copying the tunes on my iPod back into my iTunes library...
Can anyone help?
I had to use a data recovery tool to recover data from my disk after the crash and it's going to be a really long job to sort out what's what...

You can't sync or drag your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music 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 files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you prefer.

  • How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

    How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
    The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine.  iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so.  Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost.  The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there.  There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch.  How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore?  HELP...

    Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
    You can restore from an existing backup

  • I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

    I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
    above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    I use my iPod for audio books.  How do I delete books from the iPod after I have listened to them?

    Hello ListenIt,
    While the following was written for the iPhone, the process should be the same on your iPod Touch.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • How do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    how do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    Specifically from?
    You export them: File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Or if you want to, you can keep the images in iPhoto and move the Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • HT1925 how can i download music from my ipod to a cd disk?

    Can download music from my ipod nano to a cd disk?

    Whoa! I didn't "recommend" any software for you to download. I merely pointed you to a link which contains suggestions/instructions on how to move music from the iPod to the computer. Option 2 in that link for instance doesn't need any software download.
    In any event, all you should have been doing is copying the music from iPod to computer and it's difficult to know what you did that caused the music to be erased from your iPod.
    Any music not on your iPod or computer is lost unless you want to try some data recovery software (assuming you haven't begun to write over the iPods hd). It's not guaranteed that you'll recover any music this way, and this type of software is rarely free.
    Sorry to say this, but this is just another example of why it's not a good idea to keep the music on your iPod only.

  • How do I recover data from my macbook pro with a disk that can't be repaired?

    I'm in need of a data recovery solution.  My Macbook pro (17") running OS X Mountain Lion won't boot and is stuck on the gray startup screen with the apple icon and spinning gear and disk utility states "Error: Utility can't repair this disk.  Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."  Unfortunately, I don't have a back up and don't know how to access or back up the data on my drive.  Mounting it to another computer as an external drive  via firewire did not work.  Does anyone know of any solutions to extract the data from my macbook pro hard drive before I reformat it?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there
    I really am sorry about your problem.  I have opened up my help centre and it too states '[...]back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall OS X, and then restore your backed-up data'.  It then says: If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced. 
    I just noticed it says reinstall OS X.  If it says this then this indicates a rather serious computing problem. 
    Help centre also states: If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. [The next step is the following] Check each file in the list of affected files. [added by me]
    A damage disk causes files to be corrupted.  Also you can repair a disk by deleting corrupt files (i.e. one can still use a damaged disk providing it has been repaired).  Disk Utility is able to help to repair corruption problems but not if your program files have become corrupted due to large-scale damaged disk. 
    I understand why you want to connect to another hard disk because you want to extract your files and I would probably do the same.  I am on a 13-inch Macbook Pro trying to solve your problem.

  • How do I restore my pictures to iPhoto after my hard drive crashed?

    My 2010 MacBook Pro crashed in Summer of 2012, but I have some Time Machine backups from right before the crash. Once my computer was repaired, I brought it home and did a restore from the TM backup, but my iPhoto pictures didn't come with it. I have lost some photos because of this, but I hope to be able to get them back with your help! I have TM backups from around, before, and after the time of the hard drive crash. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

    Please description how you retrieve your backup from TM. I have done quite a few of these and may be able to share some experience with you.

  • Can i reload all my music from my ipad after a hard drive crash

    My hard drive crashed. All my music is on my iPad and iPhone. After I install a new hard drive, will I be able to re-load all my music. If so, how.

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases off the iPad and iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If you have music on them that you purchased from other sites and/or copied from CDs and the iPad and iPhone is the only place that you have them (e.g. you haven't got them on a backup) then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad/iPhone - iTunes will only copy iTunes purchases.
