How do I transfer my ipod data onto my new itunes libary?

My PC recently got wiped clean of all memory due to a system failure and I lost all my songs from my itunes libary but they remained on my ipod. When I plug my ipod into my PC it comes up with the message that gives me the option to either: erase and sync my ipod, transfer purchases or cancel. I tried to transfer my purchases but only half of them transfered. To save time and money I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to transfer my songs from my ipod onto my new itunes libary.

Hey there,
Ignore the message that comes up in iTunes. Hit "Cancel"
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
Hope this helps. Make sure if you have iTunes purchases, to authorize your new library at some point.

You cannot copy music from the iPod using iTunes. The feature doesn't exist.
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.

There's also Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

How can I transfer my purchased songs onto a new itunes?!

Hi,
So recently my laptop was wiped 'cos it had a load of issues and when it came back they'd put the songs back on itunes but all my playlists and settings had gone.
My phone is now reading the iTunes library as a new one, which is fine because I've got my playlists sorted and stuff so I was planning to just sync it again BUT I have a bunch of songs on my iPhone that I bought, that once I sync up to the 'new' library will disappear because they aren't on the library on my PC!!!
Is there any way I can move them over or save them or something? I really don't want them to go!

Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library.

How do I transfer my iPod content to a new computer?

The link that brought you here tells you how, as far as Apple has designed it.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: 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 planned with 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 purchases 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):
- Expod (free) - http://www.headlightsoft.com/expod/ - Mac, universal for 104.+ (newer machines try de-Tune)

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer? Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

You can download CS4 here. Download CS4 products
Most comments I've seen say CS4 needs to be run in compatibility mode on Win 8.1. Windows 8.1 compatibility for Adobe Photoshop CS4 version 11
But the only way to know for sure is to try it.

HELP- new laptop- how do i transfer my existing tunes onto my new laptop?

Hi Guys,
I have 800 tunes saved in the Library on my old laptop and have brought a new laptop. I want to transfer my existing tracks onto the new computer. Could someone explain how to do this or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
Jen

It's easy.
I'm assuming you know how to get your two notebooks onto the network, and make them accessible to each other by sharing folders.
Goto old notebook itunes, goto your iTunes settings and check to see where iTunes keeps your music. It could be in your 'My Music'. This is also where iTunes keeps the Library database. Regardless, confirm the location because you will need to SHARE this folder on your network.
Goto NEW notebook itunes. 2 things need to happen here.
(1) In your iTunes settings, make sure you tell itunes to manage your music (which means it will copy any songs you add to the library to a local central location on your NEW notebook).
(2) Import your ITUNES Library from OLD notebook. The import command is found in the FILE menu. Remember - you will need to browse over the network to your SHARED Folder sitting on the OLD notebook. Once iTunes imports the library, it should also be copying all the songs over the network to your new notebook. I would highly recommend not doing this over a wireless network.
Simple.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

I plan to upgrade from an iPad 2 - 16gh to an iPad2 - 64gh. How can I transfer all my data to the new iPad?

How can I transfer all my apps & data from an iPad 2 - 16g to an iPad 2 - 64g?

Transfer your purchases of the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, then backup up the iPad by right-clicking it under 'Devices' on the left-hand side of iTunes, and you can then restore that backup onto the new iPad (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - it excludes music, videos, synced photos).
The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords on the new iPad.

Computer crashed, how do I get my Ipod songs onto a new computer with itune

Please help. My computer died and I lost everything on it. I have a new computer and have downloaded a new itunes 7.0
How do I get my songs off my Ipod to my new computer and then to the new itunes

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been 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 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. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. 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 "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" 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. 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
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 a reasonable outlay.

HT1473 My daughter has a new computer, how do we transfer her ipod music to the new laptop. Sync seems to want to delete it all

Sorry the question was in the title. A new laptop for christmas...I thought by downloading itunes to it when I plugged in the ipod it would just download the music to het itunes library as they are on the same apple id. does not seem to be the case....is there an easy way or not? It is a compaq CQ58 and has all the itunes up to date.

Connect the new iPod to the computer she used to sync with the old iPod. The restore from backup. The apps and music have to be in the iTunes library to be restored to the iPod.
