How to download from iPod an external drive to my computer.

I would like to download albums from my iPod back to my computer. I deleted a number of albums from my computer by error. They are in the iPod. Can I do this?

drag the "iPhoto Library" to the external drive - by default your iPhoto library is in the pictures folder  --  the only thing you do with the iPhoto application is to "depress the option key and launch iPhoto then use the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive "

No, unless its time machine, anything do on your Mac is not mirrored in your external HD.
yes, after copied, it will be on your computer to do with as you like.

  • Storing TV Shows Downloaded from iTunes on External Drive?

    My HP has about 137 GB of storage available and I am now using almost 130 GB. 60 GB is for several TV shows and movies I have downloaded. (Entire 1st year of Six Feet Under, West Wing and Mad Men plus Godfather, Animal House, etc.)
    What I want to do is store these items on an external drive and access them only when needed. The saving to the external drive went well, but now I have three questions:
    1. How do I take the TV Shows out of iTunes/my hard drive to free up space?
    2. I have an iPod Touch and iPhone for my wife. How do I sync these machines so that some or all of a series of TV shows is captured on the devices? (I intend to leave my music in the iTunes library as well as photos etc., if possible to do so and still sync.)
    3. I accidentally deleted several episodes of a program from my iTunes library -- is it possible to get these back without buying them a second time?
    Thanks in advance

    1) Hey there, I think the best way for your case is to use 2 separate itunes libraries.
    One for TV/movies and a second for music/podcasts/etc.
    So use this article to create a new itunes library _on your exHD_ - meaning, the actual ITL file you create _is on the exHD with movies_. Post back if you do not understand this important part. Otherwise you are going to have a big mixup of library files on your C: drive, I think.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/8.0/en/15502.html
    It will show up as a blank library, and then you just drag the movie/TV folders over to it fro WIndows Explorer.
    Once you are sure that new library is working OK, you can delete them from your original itunes library. In itunes just highlight them, and press delete.
    Don't delete them from your actual C: hard drive until you have made sure everything is OK!
    And you might consider burning them to a DVD data disk - it's risky having one copy of purchases.
    Even exHDs can fail.

I want to have all my old songs that are on my iPod, AND the new ones from the new computer. Do you understand? Please help me! I don't know what to do!

  • How do I save albums, events in tact from iPhoto to external drive to comply with iCloud limits? Thx

    How do I save albums, events in tact from iPhoto to external drive to comply with iClouds limits? (iMac Lion, need to remove 280gb of photos>

    Not sure if I understand correctly?
    Do you want to move 280 GB of photos from iPhoto on your Mac to an external hard drive?
    If that is the case, iCloud has nothing to do with it. You can move your iPhoto library to an external drive to free up space on your internal drive.

    If that is not what you're trying to do, please rephrase your question. Thanks.

  • Trouble copying music from iPod to external HD. Please read.....

    I downloaded Ipod Disk to transfer music from iPod to external HD and am having trouble. About 40 minutes into transfer, I get an error message. Some music can't be read. Are those the cds I have on my iPod that friends burned for me (as apposed to store/iTunes bought cds)? Is there a way around this?

    If you are on a mac...

    Go to iTunes-->preferences and hit the advanced tab. Change the music store location to the external drive. Click ok. It should transfer the songs there.
    Does that work?
    Also, I doubt it is a problem with the songs. (It could be, but it is probably the program. Senuti and YamiPod work (I have tried them))

  • How do i download itunes to a secondary drive on my computer?  My C drive is full and that's where itunes wants to automatically download

    How can I download Itunes to a secondary drive on my computer?  My C drive is full but that's where ITunes wants to automatically download.  I can't figure out how to download it to a K drive.

    You do not.
    iTunes like all programs is installed and only runs on the main drive (C) of the computer.
    You can move the media to another drive.
    Close iTunes.
    Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the default location to the desired location.
    While holding the SHIFT key, launch iTunes.
    When prompted to create a new library or locate existing, choose the option to locate existing.
    Point iTunes to the new location.
    Then go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and change the location of the iTunes library there.

  • How do I  share music on external drive with 2 laptops

    We have 2 laptops in our household, my macbook and my partners iBook. Is there a way of keeping all of our music in one folder on the external drive and have it accessible to both computers, each with their own itunes library? Or does each computer need to have it's own iTunes music folder? As we share some but not all of the same taste in music it seems a waste of space to duplicate music files on the same drive.

    The sync options relate to the iPod connected, not the library itself, so you can use different iPods with different sync options with the same library.
    The problem with sharing your library over the network is that the computer which "owns" the library on the external drive always has to be near (and powered on) when the other computer wants to access it.
    But you can have one library (.XML) file per computer, and still store your music on the external drive: just go to iTunes menu > Preferences > Advanced > General and uncheck "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library". Now you still have to import the files on the external drive once per computer, but they will not be duplicated.

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

  • HT5299 Thunderbolt-Can you use an  adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

    Thunderbolt-Can you use an  adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

    No. The Thunderbolt to Firewire adapters only work to connect a Firewire drive to a Thunderbolt port. They do not work in reverse, to connect a Thunderbolt-only drive to a Firewire port. If the only port your drive has is a Thunderbolt port and all you have on the Mac is Firewire, you can't use that drive with that computer.

  • How can i access my lacie external drive with os mountain lion

    I have just upgradet my macbook pro from snow leopard to mountain lion, and now i can't restore my backed up files from my Lacie external drive.
    When i try to connect to it through time machine or migration assistant i get the message:
    "the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported"
    I have tried to enable all UAMs but i still can't connect.
    I have browsed after other similar situations, but i can't seem to find any though i'm hardly the only one with this problem.

    If the backup was made using time machine, you should be able to access any files you need or want manually using the finder. It may not be pretty, but it should work. I don't know why the migration assistant would be unable to access it though.
    If you can't access the contents of the backup with the finder, then I would say your problem is a bit more serious.
