  • How to get music from old ipod to new computer

    I have an old iPod nano and I want to get the music to my new computer (iTunes).
    How do I transfer it without losing the music? All the music in the iPod used to be stored in my old computer/itunes, which not longer exists.

    Hi rominabate,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to move your music from your iPod to your new computer. The article linked below provides several options for recovering music from your devices and backups, like transferring music that was purchased from the iTunes Store on your iPod to your computer.

  • How do i get music from my account onto my new pc? I think I need to deauthorise old accounts but I can't get onto my old computers?

    Basically I just bought a new pc and I can't get my music that I've already payed for from my account onto this new computer. I've had this problem before but it was never resolved. I think I need to deauthorise my old computers but I don't understand how or why. Please help someone?

    On itunes? OR externally? Because I did back them up on itunes and I think I do have an external backup, I just wanted to know whether it was possible for me to recover them from itunes as they still show up in my purchase history.
    Only in the U.S.
    This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup is very important.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back. 
    Your purchase history is only a list of your purchases.  There are no files there.

  • How to get music from Apple TV to play through all 5.1 channels

    I recently set up a new 5.1 channel receiver and 5 very nice speakers. However, when I go to play music from Apple TV the sound only comes through to the front left and right speakers. Is there a way to play music through all 5 speakers? Is the receiver a problem? Does a video also have to be playing? It works completely fine when I play a movie through Apple TV, just not music. Help! I would enjoy Apple TV and the speakers more if i could listen to all 5.
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Generally speaking music isn't 5.1

  • Is there a way to get music from your iPod onto the computer?

    I recieved most of the music that is currently on my iPod from my cousin, but if i want to add some of MY music to the iPod then i have to erase all of her music off of it! Is there a way to save the music that is already on there and then put it back on the iPod once it has been erased?

    First of all try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    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.
    There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free.
    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.

  • How to get music from the iPod to my computer?

    Is it possible to get the music from an ipod and put it on your computer? Because i would like to switch all my music from my ipod to my new computer, and i got rid of all the original music.

    Hello karakamikaze,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • Computer broken, how to transfer music from ipod to the new computer?

    Hi,
    so the problem is that my computer got broken and all my music went down with that also. Now i want to put the music on my ipod to my new computer so how do I do it? Or can I even do it? I hope so.
    So, please tell me!
    Thanks

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it 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 the 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. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. 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 and comparisons of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, 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. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Does anyone know how to transfer music from ipod to a new computer?

    Is it possible as well?

    If you have downloaded the music from iTunes store from iPod through WiFi, then you can transfer the purchases easily, when you connect the iPod to iTunes, it will ask you whether to transfer the purchases or not.
    If you haven't purchased songs from iPod, then unfortunately you can't transfer any songs through iTunes.
    You can restore purchases from iTunes :
    Once you are really sure that those iTunes songs are gone, here’s what to do:
    1. Open the iTunes Store on your device.
    2. Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase.
    3. Tap Purchased from the bottom navigation bar.
    4. From the Purchased tab, tap the artist name for the content you intend to download again.
    5. Once you’ve located the music you are looking for, tap the download button.
    (If you want to download all songs from an album that you’ve purchased, click on the button to swith to the “Album” view.)
    If you have your own set of songs, then you can copy those songs from iPod by using this FREE software : http://download.cnet.com/SharePod/3000-2141_4-10794489.html?tag=mncol;2
    I hope this solves your problem

  • How to get stuff from Performa HD to newer computer?

    I was surprised (well, stunned) to find that a friend has a Performa and wants to get his files off the 160 MB hard drive to an iBook or something. I don't know the model number, but it looks like the only potentially useful ports they had were SCSI. Can that be used for data transfer? I guess you would need some impossible cable like SCSI to USB or something. The only other alternative I can think of is floppy diskettes but that would be quite tedious (might take 60-80 diskette-loads) and we'd have to find an external USB floppy for the new computer. Or is there an easier way?
    Thanks, Jim

    Jim,
    Networking would be the best option but other alternatives exist.
    " it looks like the only potentially useful ports they had were SCSI. Can that be used for data transfer? I guess you would need some impossible cable like SCSI to USB or something."
    Yes, SCSI can be used for data transfer. Find an external SCSI CD-ROM drive that someone has given to Goodwill, pull out the drive and replace it with a hard drive.
    Do you know someone with a Mac that has CD burner? The Performa 475 has an internal SCSI hard drive that could be removed and put into an external case. That external case could then be attached to an older Mac with a SCSI port and a CD burner. The ID would need to be changed but other than that, SCSI works great for data transfers.
    And yes, they do have SCSI adapters but the cost is more than the cure is worth for a one time use. External zip drives are also an option. They come in SCSI and USB. Cost is really the prohibiting factor. You will either pay for one time use of hardware or pay someone to make the transfer. User groups help make trips into the past more affordable.
