How do I transfer content from my ipod to my computer

I got a new computer and downloaded a new verion of Itunes.  My ipod touch has all of the files that were part of my itunes on my old computer.  I just want to transfer everything that is currently on my ipod to my itunes on my new computer.  Looking for tips on how to do this because my old computer is not easily accessable,

  • How do you transfer content from an iPod touch to iTunes?

       How do you transfer content from an ipod touch to itunes without buying another software?

    You can't.  Mobile devices are not set up to transfer most items to a computer and if that's what you want to do (with the noted exception) then you have to pay for it.
    Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized and duplicated by turingtest2 in the document: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for 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 purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    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):

  • How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.

  • How can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer

    how can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer

    Are these pictures on your iPod no longer stored on your PC or in a backup somewhere?  If so, you'll need the help of third party software to assist you with the task of extracting the photos from your iPod to your PC.  Keep in mind that these synced photos are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of the original.
    If you stored these photos in full resolution, see this article for instructions on copying them from your iPod back to your PC.
    Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    Once the photos are on your PC again, you can configure them to sync to your iPhone.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my computer which was not purchased on iTunes?

    I just downloaded iTunes Match to my MacBook Air. Now, how do I transfer music from my iPod to my Mac which I did not purchase on iTunes? When I downloaded iTunes Match, it did its thing, but none of the music that I burned from CDs showed up on my Mac. Is there something else I should do? (I still have my old computer with my entire iTunes library on it, but I haven't used in in a while. Should I do something with that, as well?)
    Thanks!

    I'm actually currently serving in the Peace Corps in the Eastern European country of the Republic of Georgia, so I'm not always able to get back to posts as quickly as I would like. So I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out by searching the support communities. But as I tell my students (who are learning English as a second language) pronouncing and using words correctly is important to them being understood by native English speakers. The same goes for technology terms. If the correct terms aren't used (for example "import" and "rip") then misunderstandings can occur and it can take longer to get your problem solved.

  • How do i transfer content from my ipod touch to my new PC's iTunes?

    I recently purchased a new laptop. I wanted to know how I can transfer all my content from my ipod touch to my new PC.

    Ideally you would have backed up the library from your old comupter on a regular basis, and have restored that library to your new computer...
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • How do i transfer content from my ipod to itunes without losing it?

    My laptop crashed and as a result i've reinstalled vista, and subsequently itunes. I have re installed all my music onto the reinstalled itunes. However all the tv shows, movies, photos etc that are currently on my ipod are not backed up. Therefore i'm assuming the next time i plug in my ipod, the music will update but my tv, movie and photo content will be wiped from my ipod? Is there any way i can transfer that content from my ipod to my laptop/itunes without losing it?

  • How do I transfer songs from my iPod to my computer?

    I just recently had to get my computer re formatted and it was so screwed up they were not even able to get into my music files to back them up on discs. Is there a way to connect my iPod to my computer and transfer the songs from my iPod to my computer without destroying my music files or losing them? I heard if I do this it will enter all my songs as number sequences... is there anyway I can have the songs entered as their normal titles???

    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. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    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 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 Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    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.

  • How can i transfer videos from my iPod to my computer?

    I can easily copy photos from my iPod to my computer. I just go to the iPod camera drive that appears on the "My Computer" menu when i plug my IPod, open it, copy the photos and paste them wherever I want. Altough, I cannot do the same for the videos. How can I take them off the iPod?

    When you plug your iPod into your computer using a USB, does a file manager pop up with several options to download photos/videos? If not, that could be your problem. But if it does, which option have you been picking? Try picking all of them and see which one will let you download your photos and videos. You can sync all of your photos to your computer, which will also sync all of the videos onto the computer. You may have trouble if you are using a laptop. In that situation, I would suggest using a desktop computer.
