How do i transfer files FROM ipod TO computer?!?!

I had to restore windows on my comp, which meant i lost all files on my comp, an i had no backup of my music. Please tell me there is away to transfer music from my ipod to my computer

You have to hook the iPod up then choose to not sync it to your "new library". Enable iPod "disc use" in the "Preferences\iPod" menu, then navigate thru the iPods folder structure to the actual MP3s. They'll be in numbered folders, but you can cruise through them with Explorer. Copy them back to your hard drive, then tell iTunes to "Add to Library" wherever you put them.
Make sure they play first, then resync your iPod. Not sure if this will work for MP4 files (downloaded from iTunes store), but know it works for MP3s.

    how do you transfer photos from ipod to computer?

    See here for photos taken with the iPod: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    If these were photos that you synced to the device via iTunes, then you'll need to download third party software to help get them off your iPod.

    You need iTunes 10. 7 or later on the computer. When the article says restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.

  • How do i transfer files from ipod to pc? please help!

    I have recently purchased a new laptop and i need to transfer all my files from my ipod on to it (especially music). i followed the instructions on the itunes/cloud page but when it said to "locate the item" none of the supposed "items" were there. i have purchased a lot of music from itunes and do not intend on losing my money. I also have a lot of other music i spent alot of time transferring from disc to ipod. my ipods software also needs updated from the old ios5(yes, 5!!) to ios6 as the software is starting to not work correctly. help would be very much appreciated as i feel like throwing my laptop out the window and telling apple to go do one.

    I don't know which page that you looking at but you should be able to copy your iTunes purchases over from it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. But music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs), then you don't have your music on a backup drive or your old computer (copying music , they should work for other content in your library as well) ? If not then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Depending upon what else is on it you can copy off photos taken with the iPod : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    And for documents or other files you may be able to use the via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc - whatever the app that they are in supports.
    There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How do I transfer music from ipod to computer?

    I know it sounds like a ridiculously simple question, but I have music in my ipod that I would like to transfer to my computer (Windows XP) so I would be able to burn them onto a CD. How do I do that? I appreciate any help!

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content 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 also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    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

  • HT4527 How do I transfer songs from ipod to computer / itunes account?

    I have a bunch of music on an old external HDD so I can get away from all those CDs, but recently I have changed computers and now a bunch of my songs show up as 'unable to locate'.  I want to manually manage my ipod and get the songs I have on it now in my new computer / itunes account.
    HELP!

    I have exactly the same problem and have no idea how to do it. I am too scared to try random things in case I lose all 800 of my songs on my iPod!!!
    I don't really know how these posts work so I'm assuming that someone will (hopefully) post the answer on here so that I can find out how to transfer my iPod songs to the library.
    Please help,

  • How do I transfer music from ipod to computer manually without downloading software?

    OK, I've tried everything, looked everywhere, and from what I've looked up, it seems itunes intentionally makes it next to impossible to do it, but there was this one time, where I accessed my kindle fire music folder, and dragged and dropped the music into there and it transferred to the kindle fire.  Then from there I would transfer the kindle music to itunes.  But now it's not working?  What happened?  I accessed the kindle music folder, and couldn't transfer the songs from my ipod to there like usual.  What happened?  And is there ANY other way i can transfer ipod touch songs to my computer, without downloading software?  I've tried looking for "ipod control" folder like people usually tell me to do, but it's not there, even if I click show hidden files and folders. Please help, emphasis on explanation as to why my ipod wont transfer music to my kindle's music folder anymore.  IT WORKED BEFORE.THANK YOU FOR ALL KIND REPLIES.  AND NO, THE MUSIC WAS NOT PURCHASED ON ITUNES SO I CAN'T TRANSFER IT THAT WAY.

    Oh, right, I know what you're saying. That *****, itunes,,, do better!  There is no reason why we shouldn't be able to transfer our music directly to our computer!  Regardless of copyright crap!  Wow, tha *****. Well, thanks again lassssssssssssssssssssssssssss, you're a big help

  • How can I transfer pictures from iPod to computer

    I was hoping for some help with a question I have about my iPod. I have pictures on my iPod that I would like to delete off of it, but I no longer have the pictures in iPhoto. I also have a group of photos I would like to save back to my computer from the iPod. Is this possible to pick and choose which photos I'd like to save back to the computer and then also delete other ones? I would really appreciate any help that you can offer. Thank you.
    G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hey, I've just read your answer regarding Photos folder in an G5 iPod, I hope you can help, 'cos you know it well! I imported photos from my PC to this folder, and then deleted them out. The problem occured when I realized that I might have also deleted some default running files in the Photos folder. Since then, I have met the error message "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" whenever I opened the Folder. I'm unable to import photos now. Would you possibly show me how to fix it? Thanks a lot,

  • How do I transfer files from my old computer to my new one?

    I just purchased a new Mac Mini. I have an iBook that is about 5 years old. I want to transfer all of my files (including music and photos) to my new computer. How do I do that?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Do you know which version of Mac OS is installed on your iBook? You can find out by choosing "About This Mac" from the Apple menu. Using a FireWire cable with the Migration Assistant (as Dal suggested) will be the best method. But, you'll have to be using Mac OS X 10.1 or newer to transfer all your files automatically.
