How to down load 30GB ipod music to my computer?

My 30GB ipod battery only gives me 5 hrs. of play time. If I do the download to check the battery, I will loose the music that was downloaded into the ipod. To save the music, I want to down load the 2.5 GB of music to my computer. How does one do this?

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists 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.

  • How do I transfer my ipod music to my computer library

    I am new to itunes and ipods.  I have never really been a fan but I want to be.  I purchased an i pod from a friend which had some music on it and also put some music on it from my computer.  No problem with that. I then deleted my library on my computer and only have the songs on my ipod.  I would now like to transfer those songs back to my library.  If i press the sync button in itunes it says it will erase all files on my ipod and put my new library songs on it.  Is there any way to transfer my ipod music to the library? 

    iTunes only allows you to transfer music purchased from iTunes because of copyright laws. You would need to search the internet for a 3rd party app that allows you to transfer the non-purchased music or get them from the original source, i.e. CD, other music site, etc.

    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's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos and photos as well. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your 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
    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.

  • Hi i am trying to down load my passed music i bought how can i do that for the one time an only i can redown load

    i trying to down load  my pass music that already bought an i understand  the one time re-downloading offer it would really cool if i am able to re-download my passed bought itunes stuff the music and movies thank you i bought it all when i had a iphone an i had to buy a new computer also when i can re-download it all i am gonna buy a ipod touch so it well be really nice if i can get to re-download

    I do not know if it is the case with iPhones, but it is with iPods:
    if you have purchased the music and movies on your iPod from the same account that you computer is authorized to, you can transfer the purchases from your iPod to your iTunes. This is the only way I know of to transfer your purchases. Did you ever make a backup?

  • Can not down load older purchased music

    I Have and IPAD w/retina display.  Problem.  deleted all playlist from my iTunes By accident.  Seems like the libraries are gone.  I went to the store to down load my purchased music and it will not allow me to download the music.  Also I purchased a new song and it wouldn't let me down but it showed up in my music.  All I need to know is how I can get my music back unto my IPad.  I do not have access to the Internet all the time so it's critical that the music gets back to my IPad.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Dawn
    P.S.
    I Do have a Windows PC which still seems to have the music. I tried to share but it didn't work.

    If you are in a country where you can redownload music (and if the music is still in the store and you haven't changed countries since buying it) then it should show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for redownloading.
    For home sharing, you can use that to stream content to an iOS device (home sharing has to be enabled by the same account on both your computer's iTunes and iPad, and they have to be connected to the same network), but you can't use it to copy content to an iOS device.
    You should be able to resent your music back to your iPad from your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351.

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer.

  • How do i sync my ipod touch with my computer without erasing all music already on ipod?

    how do i sync my ipod touch with my computer without erasing all of the music already on the ipod

    Sanmannyer, just what are you smoking? iTunes can sync non-iTunes purchased music to any iPod and iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) as long as it is not DRM protected.
    Would y plase stop posting incorrect information.

    what the heck dude? That only works for ipod shuffles and not for ipod touch. U cant use itunes to copy non-purhased songs from ipod touch to pc. u have to use a 3rd party application like syncios to do so.

  • I need to know how to down load movies, that I have on DVD, on to my hp computer then down load it to my ipad

    I need to know how to down load movies,from my DVDs, onto my hp computer and then down load them onto my iPad

    I read the thread question differently than you did I think.  I did not think the DVD in question was a commercial DVD.  However, you have much more experience in this discussion board than I do.  You probably have seen this question many times and assumed (apparently correctly) that it was a commercial DVD.
    I was answering the question based on it being a DVD created within a work/home environment that is needed to be put on the iPad.  I have been toying around with that exact process in the past week.  Work training videos etc, that I have created, put on DVD then downloaded to my iPad for travel and display.
    My bad!
