How to easily transfer cassette music to an iPod for my 89y.o. Grandfather

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to trasfer all the music my Grandfather has onto his new iPod.

Hi Pete,
This is how I'd do it!
1st find a tape player with an out of some sort. 2nd imic from Griffen (usb) 3rd you'll need some software like audacity(http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) toget that music on your hard drive, then you can remove odd sounds (pops,fuzz, any thing thats not music)with and little time you'll have Grandpa's music on your ipod. not easy but possiable!
Have Fun!
Dan

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. Here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • 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 to I transfer my music from my iPod classic to iTunes on my PC?

    Reformatted HD and installed new motherboard in PC.  Lost iTunes music library and music lists.  My iPod still has everything on it.  How do I transfer the music saved on my iPod back to iTunes on my PC.

    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes.  While connecting the iPod to the computer, click "cancel" when iTunes presents the dialog box offering to synchronize to the iPod. Or hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    You can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).  If you want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search CNet or another software compendium for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities, some free, that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod  back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this article in the iLounge:

  • Hello, how can I transfer the music from my Ipod to the Itunes on my desktop?

    As known my system crashed recently, so I have had to install everything again also Itunes.
    Earlier all my music CD's were installed in the Itunes library, of course I did loose everything exept my purchases from the Itune store.
    luckely all de music was also set on my Ipod. How can I export the music library from Ipod to my imac without performing a syncronisation which would make me loose the music tunes from my Ipod Touch.
    thank you for helping me out

    Unfortunately, iTunes doesn't give you the options to transfer non-purchased songs in the iTunes Store from an iPod to the iTunes library, so you have to use a third-party app.
    One of the best apps you can use is Senuti, and it's the one I prefer > http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ You can find more in Internet

  • How to I transfer my music from my ipod to the new hard drive?

    My windows laptop crashed two months ago and I lost everything on it.  I was able to get the hard drive replaced but all of my music is on my ipod (nano - 2nd edition, I think).  Only a small percentage is purchased via itunes.
    I have been googling how to now move my music from my ipod to my new hard drive but most solutions assume that I still have the old laptop/hard drive.  I know I was able to do this previously when the hard drive crashed, but I can't seem to remember now as it was about 5 years ago.  I'm afraid to do anything just now as I don't want it syncing to an empty library and have my ipod wiped clean.
    Is there any way of moving the music from my ipod to my itunes library on the new hard drive??  Please help as I don't want to have to reload over 100 cd's

  • How can i transfer the music on my ipod to my itunes folder?

    Hi there, i've had my ipod for about a year now and am very happy with it, but there is a small problem. Due to a virus, i had to change my hardrive on my pc, meaning i lost all my itunes songs, except i remembered i still had my ipod with all the songs on it.
    The only thing is, i havent been able to transfer the songs from my ipod to my itunes after i plugged my ipod in.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can get them back on again?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • My computer crashed and lost all of my music and all my cd's were stolen how do I transfer the music on my IPod back to my computer so that I can update my IPod?

    My computer crashed with all my music on it. All of my cd's that I had uploaded onto my computer were stolen.  The only way that I have all my music is on my IPod.  However, I am afraid to update it because I don't want to loose all the music that I no longer have that is on it.  How can I transfer from my IPod my music library onto my new computer without losing any of my music?  I mean it has not been updated in over a year because I have some really good music that I don't want to loose.  Please help me.  I would like to add some really great music but can't for fear of crashing the music I have.  Thank you in advance.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Have you failed to do this?
    If so, then you can buy programs that will retrieve the music from the ipod (not supported by Apple).
