  • Old computer crashed...new computer...how to transfer ipod songs

    My old computer completely crashed so it is not working at all. I have a new computer and I'm trying to transfer all my music from my ipod to my itunes. I have been trying to do this without erasing all my old music, but I have a lot of music purchased that wasn't on itunes. I just can't get it to work and I have authorized my new computer to my ipod.

    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 from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • How to transfer ipod songs to mac itunes?

    i just restore my mac.and all the songs in itunes are all gone.
    I had a ipod and how can i transfer all the songs to the itunes..
    please help me...the songs are u so important to me.THX=]

    If your iPod is set to sync automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it 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 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts
    Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
    Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    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: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • How to get ipod songs on computer

    My old computer crashed, so i had to get a new one. All my ipod songs that were on itunes got deleted. How can i get them back and put them on my iphone?

    If the songs are on your iPod, you won't be able to use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased by you from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party utilities that allow transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer, add them to the new computer's iTunes library, then sync it to your iPhone.

  • How to transfer iPod to second computer

    I set up my iPod Touch on my laptop. I was able to tansfer my purchased music and videos onto my main computer, but what is the easiest way to transfer my complete music library (non-purchased) on my iPod to my iTunes library on my main computer?

    This is what worked for me.
    Okay, I have read on a lot of different threads that people want to know how to copy media from their iPod to their computer. Many have recommended YamiPod, but here is an alternative that is only for the Windows users.
    1). Be sure Hidden Files and Folders are visible on your computer
    - Open My Computer
    - Tools>Folder Options
    - Switch to the View Tab
    - Be sure that Show Hidden Files and Folders is selected
    For a mac, open terminal and type in:
    defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
    2). Connect Your iPod to the computer
    3). Goto My Computer and open the iPod Disk Directory (F:, G:, etc.)
    [on the desktop for mac]
    4). Open iPod_Control
    5). Copy the entire Music folder to your desktop
    NOTE: This may take up to 2 hours or more depending on the number of files
    6). Eject iPod
    7). Right Click On the Music folder on desktop [ctrl+click for mac]
    - Properties
    - uncheck "Hidden"
    - Apply to all subfolders and files
    8). Open iTunes
    9). Goto iTunes Preferences
    10). Change your iTunes Library to the Music Folder on your Desktop by going to preferences > advanced > then click the change button on the general tab
    11). Add the folder to your "new" Library
    12). Check "Keep iTunes Library Folder Organized
    13). Click OK
    14). Close and restart iTunes
    15). Switch your iTunes Library back to what it was before
    16). Delete The Contents of the Library, being sure NOT to move files to Recycle Bin
    17). Close iTunes
    18). For Mac users, open terminal again and type:
    defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
    The Music Folder on your desktop now contains an organized directory of all media on your iPod!! I hope this tutorial helps out for those who wanted to know!

  • How to transfer IPOD songs to IPOD

    How do you transfer AAC files to the IPOD??

    You can't transfer iPod to iPod.
    The songs are in your iTunes so plug your iPod in to load it.

  • How to transfer IPod songs to Mac Laptop with no songs?

    Songs are on my desktop and were downloaded to my I Pod mini. I want to transfer all the songs from either source to my laptop.
    How do I do that without all the songs being erased on my laptop when I connect the IPod?

    Connecting the iPod will not delete any songs on the laptod or on your desktop.
    Enable disk mode on the iPod.
    Drag them to the ipod and then the laptop.

  • Transfer ipod songs to computer

    Recently my hard drive crashed on my computer. I replaced with a new hard drive so of course my ipod software and itunes is gone. I have my ipod software and I know I can reinstall itunes but is there a way to get my songs that are currently on my ipod transferred to itunes?

    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different 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), there's 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.
    The above methods will depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
    I can't vouch that any of them will work with iTunes version 7.

  • How to transfer iPod songs frm Mac Formatted iPod to Windows formatted iPod

    I have an eMac with iTunes 7.1.1 and my daughter's 30 gb, video iPod has 1000 songs on it-- that iPod is formatted for Mac.
    OK but now she is switching to a PC due to work, and moving- so she won't have access to the eMac. She'd like to format her iPod for PC, but doesn't want to lose the 1000 songs. (Many/most are already on the PC, but so are many, many more, - from her sister etc.--and she'd like to just transfer these 1000).
    What I'd simply like to do is copy her 1000 songs to a folder on the eMac by putting the iPod into DISK mode, then connect the iPod to her PC and completely erase it / format it for Windows via iTunes 7.1.1 for Windows on her PC.
    Then I'd like to transfer the 1000 songs in that folder to my external La Cie 60 gb "USB2" HD (which I will format for Windows first).
    Then I'd like to connect that La Cie External HD to the PC and have the 1000 songs imported into my daughter's windows iTunes and then finally have her connect her iPod and have the 1000 songs copied (manually or via sync) to her now-formatted-for-Windows iPod.
    CAN THAT BE DONE? If so, is there anything tricky here, i.e. do I have to use iTunes on the Mac to put the iPod into HARD DISK mode?
    And will the songs once on the Mac be able to copy over to a Windows-formatted La Cie external HD?
    NOTE: All 1000 songs are songs from CD's that she has put into iTunes, i.e. there are no 'Apple iTunes store' purchased songs so there will not be a problem with that.
    Any comments really appreciated here-- she's only visiting for a couple of days and I'd like to do this asap-- really appreciate any guidance.

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I've just got a new computer does any one know how to transfer my song to my new computer. I've installed itunes but can't seem to transfer the songs

    I've just got a new computer does any one know how to transfer my song to my new computer. I've installed itunes but can't seem to transfer the songs.

    you can use home sharing.
    or, assuming you have all your media files in the default location, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from the old to the exact same location on the new machine.
    you can either use your network or an external HD for that.

    how do i move songs from computer to ipod

    Maybe I did it wrong, but I tried that, and nothing changed. I bought the songs on iTunes, not through my iPod...but thank you anyway. I also tried the "manage music manually" setting on my iPod and nothing changed either. What should I see when I try that?
