How do I transfer the songs on my iPod to my new iMac?

How do I transfer the 6000+ songs on my iPod to my new iMac?  My current iTunes Library is on a Dell laptop.

when i got my new mac i hooked up my old pc to the network, and then went to sharing in the settings on the imac, and turned on file sharing, went to more options and enabled the ftp server.  got an ftp program on the pc and uploaded everything to the imac.

  • How do I transfer the music from my iPod to my new IMac computer (95% of the music on it is from CD's I own)?

    How do I transfer the music from my IPod to my new IMac computer?  I just changed from a PC to IMac. 95% of the music on it is from CD's I own and the ITunes on the new IMac is only recongnizing the ones I bought off of ITunes.

    That is correct.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do I transfer the songs on my ipod to a new computer? I heard software?

    Dug out an old ipod and started using it again, how do i transfer the songs that are on it to a new computer? I know that if I sync it with the library that I have started I will lose all of those songs. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello mburke14,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!

  • Old PC Died... How do i transfer the songs on my ipod to my new pc?

    My pc HD failed and all my music was on there. I still have everything on my iPod. How do I get the music from my iPod to my new PC? When I connect it to my new pc it says that its going to replace my music with the new library (which is empty).

    iClique,
    I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
    Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
    If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
    Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in this post:

    Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • How do I transfer the songs from my ipod to a new computer?

    I loaded a bunch of cds onto itunes on an old laptop and then synced it to my nano.  That lap top crahsed and burned and I would like to be able to get the cds from my nano onto my new lap top. There are approximately 175 discs worth of music and i cannot re load all of them .  Can someone walk a total noob through the process?  thanks

    There are really two options for you,
    1st: An application called 'senuti' makes it possible to transfer the data from ipod to computer, something that is not possible with iTunes alone. This application however is not supported by Apple, and as a result may be somewhat unstable.
    2nd: If the old PC is still in working order, you can copy the iTunes folder to an external hard drive (to locate this folder...with iTunes open, click the edit menu, then click preferences. Click the advanced tab. here you will find the location of the folder that iTunes keeps your media in. Using this path as reference, find the folder using the windows filing structure and copy it to the external hard drive. Now connect the drive to the new computer and copy the iTunes folder to the same location as it was found on the old machine...here is the cool part...hold down the option key (alt) and click to open iTunes. a dialouge box will appear asking you to either create or choose an iTunes library, click choose. Navigate through your computer in the resulting window and find the copied iTunes folder, click to go inside, here you will find a file called something like 'iTunes Library.itl' choose this file and click open.
    iTunes will now be the same as it always was on the old machine, playlists and all.

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    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 purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    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):

  • How do I get the songs on my ipod to a new installation of ITunes

    I keep Itunes on my corporate PC and I just received a new PC after the old one crashed. I installed ITunes and connected my IPod Nano and was saw a window that indicated my Ipod was linked to a different library and I would like to change. It would seem that I would lose all of my stuff if I answered yes. How do i get my Ipod in sync with the new installed Itunes?
    Thanks!

    t would seem that I would lose all of my stuff if I answered yes.
    \Correct.
    It is in sync with your previous computer.
    How do i get my Ipod in sync with the new installed Itunes?
    The correct answer to your question is to plug in the iPod and select yes.
    It will sync your iPod with your new library which contains nothing.
    Sync between iPod and iTunes is one way. Computer to iPod.
    The question you really want to ask is, “how do I get the songs off my iPod onto my computer?”
    Go to www.yamipod.com.
    This will allow you to get everything of the iPod and into iTunes.
