Download music from ipod when opening iTunes for the first time?

I just got a new iMac at work and the first time I plugged my iPod into the comupter to charge it up it opened my iTunes and then started to download all my songs from my iPod. Being 7am I wasn't thinking properly and pressed cancle to stop the download, then I remember I have 500GB free memory and why shouldn't I have my music on the computer. The problem is I can't get it to download the music again. I know you not ment to be able to download from your ipod but that is what happened.
I have tried completely uninstalling iTunes by removing the icon in Applications and in the User>Music folder to get the same result but it makes no difference, where I once had a couple of meg's worth of music which had started to download I have none. Can somebody please explain to me how this happened and how I can revert iTunes back to how it was before I opened it so I can quickly download all my music onto my computer??

We'll unfortunately that's not true. I had though that was the case as well until this happened. I wasn't sure if this a new feature that iTunes had for when you first attach an ipod to a new iTunes (where you need to go through the terms and conditions, and set up your settings at the beginging).
I have downloaded very little from the iTunes store and the things which got downloaded were some funny adds which I had converted and put on my ipod as well as some AC/DC, some Beatles and a collection of 179 other songs (I'd be lucky if I've downloaded 5 songs in my life from iTunes). Before deleting everything in the hope that I could do it again I even played a couple of them in case all it had done was take the album artwork or something. But they all play fine and none of them were ones I had downloaded.
Does anyone know what's happened and how it can be repeated?
As to the other ways of getting music of your ipod I'm aware of them and have used irip in the past without any problems. I know how to do it that way but now that I have been made aware of this other way I was wanting to clear up how it happened and if it can be repeated, say if I was to reinstall iTunes.

Hi ceeg - remember that you do have to add the .flv extension to the file, and then after it plays in QT, in order to use it in iMovie you must export it from QT as a DV Stream file.
Hope this helps.

How do you download music from Ipod Classic to computer?

How do you download music from ipod classic to computer

If your music collection was purchased from iTunes, you are in a good shape since that music is forever yours under your iTunes account. Therefore, after installing iTunes on your new computer, sign into your account and see all your music under "Purchsed". Then simply download it to be phisically present onto your computer (for free since you've already paid for it).
On the other hand if you happens to not be a sucker to waist money on iTunes and your collection was ripped from the internet (via torrents and such), you need some third party software to copy iPod music, here is a guide about how to transfer music from iPod classic to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

How To Download Musics On IPODS?

How To Download Musics On IPODs?

You use iTunes, so if iTunes is not installed on your computer already, go here to download it, install it, and then run it...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you are asking how to sync songs from your iTunes library to an iPod, there are several methods. This document provides general information.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
An iPod "classic" usually has plenty of storage space, so if your entire iTunes music library can fit on your iPod, here is one way you can set it up that will be most convenient.
First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When connected, the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
Select the iPod in the sidebar. Near the top, there is a bar of buttons that starts with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. NOTE: Any songs that are currently on the iPod but not in your iTunes library (on the computer) will be lost. If there are no songs currently on the iPod, or if all songs on the iPod are in your current iTunes library, there is no problem. But if this is a problem, please post back.
Choose the option to sync Entire music library. When you click Apply, everything in your iTunes music library (including playlists) sync to the iPod. Going forward, any changes to the iTunes music library (such as new songs) sync automatically to the iPod the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync if the iPod is already connected).

Does anyone how to take music from ipod and put it on to my computer?

does anyone how to take music from ipod and put it on to my computer? i desperatly need to do that so please help me!!!! i will download software if i need to

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

How to retrieve music from ipod without syncing it

So my computer was messed up and I'm missing a bunch of music so i was needing to get the music files back. I have them on my ipod but i cant view them in itunes unless i sync the ipod which would erase the songs not on the computer and defeat the purpose of what i'm trying to do. I have the 'manually manage music' option checked and when i open up my ipod file from my computer it doesn't have the music files only pictures and stuff. I know it's possible to get the music without erasing it but i forget how and its really annoying, so how would i do so?

Here is the way about how to recover music from iPod
Assuming you're using a Windows 7 or 8 computer here.
Go to the start menu > type in hidd > open 'Show Hidden Files and Folders' > check the circle in that says Show hidden files, folders, and drives. > Click apply.
Now plug your iPod in. Go to Computer > click on eg. 'Azrielrain's ipo (H:)' or whatever shows up that looks like that > iPod_Control > Music > The files underneath that.
Now in those files will be mp3 or mp3 variants of your music, they will NOT however have the original names given to them. You can copy the files to your desktop, or music folder. That is pretty much the closest you'll get to being able to salvage your music from your iPod. Or you can use Data Recovery to help you recover your iPod music.

How to download music from iPhone 4?

How to download music from iphone4 to new mac without deleting the old data from the iPhone4?
my frnd slip coffee on my old mac so had to get a new one and now want to add new songs onto my phone but don't want to loose my old songs.
Any suggestion??? without buying ripping software, as i have already send a lot not the new mac book pro

iOS devices are not and have never been backup devices.
Move the content from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.
Hopefully this clumsy friend either paid for or at the very least contributed to the replacement cost of the new computer.
If for some silly reason you have failed to maintain a backup, downloading past purchases from iTunes.

Are you using Mountain Lion? And are you using Safari?
There used to be this thing called the Activity Window in Safari that would make it easy to show the files (like audio files) in a web page. That doesn't exist any more but in the Develop Menu there is Show Page Resources that can do the same thing.
