How do you save your music from the iPod to your pc

I just purchased the new 5th gen ipod touch. I would like to save the music on my old 4th gen ipod onto my computer. How do I do that?

For non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program like one of those listed here:

  • I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content

    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • HT1689 How do you download purchased music from the newest version of Itunes to my iPhone?

    How do you download purchased music from the newest version of Itunes to my iPhone?

    Update the version of iTunes on your computer. If the computer's currently running 10.5.8 or 10.6.8, this may require upgrading its OS.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • How do you remove a playlist from the iPod but not the library

    How do you remove a playlist from the IPod but not the library?

    If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
    If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
    Hope thi helps.

  • HT1349 i have a new pc and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all data to sync.  How can i get my music from the ipod to the new computer?

    I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync.  How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer.  The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.

    One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

  • How do i sync my music FROM the ipod TO my music library

    I know how to put music from the library to the ipod but i dont understand how i can sync my ipod music to library.. Please someone help

    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases by choosing File->transfer purchases from the iTunes menu. Disable autosync before you connect your ipod.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • HT1689 the computer I orginally sync"ed" to broke.  The new computer only has about a dozen songs.  How can I downdload my music from the Ipod to the computer?

    the computer I orginally syncd to broke.  The new computer only has about a dozen songs that were purchased from itunes.  Is there any way
    I can get the thousands of other songs from the ipod downloaded to the computer.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • How do you remove voice memos from the iPod after downloading it to iTunes?

    first of all, which model of voice recorder is best for the 5G video 30 gb iPod? I have heard of Griffin iTalk and Belkin Universal Microphone Adapter, but i'm leaning towards the iTalk b'c it looks cheaper on Amazon and eBay. does anyone suggest anything along those lines?
    and also, after recording voice memos (like class lectures and such) onto the iPod and downloading them to iTunes, how do i remove them from the iPod? do i have to make them a different program file (like windows media player, and not iTunes)?

    Voice memos can be shared back to a computer in a number of different ways, described in this article -

  • How do you save my files from the recovery HD.

    My Macbook keeps processing, so I went to the recovery hd amd mac os x utilitiles.  from this point i am trying save my files so i can erase disk using disk utility.  any ideas.

    If you have an external hard drive, you can use the Restore tab in Disk Utility to copy the contents of one disk to another.  Note that this will erase the destination drive, and may very well fail.  You could also use the command line in the Terminal from recovery mode and copy files that way, but that requires knowledge of how to use Unix filesystem commands.  You could also try connecting the Mac to another Mac via Firewire target disk mode and copy the data that way.
    Alternately, if your Mac won't start up, you could try just repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility and then installing Mac OS X on top of your existing system.  That will replace all the system files but leave your files and apps alone.  (Of course, things can go wrong in cases like this, so making some kind of backups would be a good idea.)
