The "iPod" part can really be any drive or DVD-R or whatever your can fit the library onto.

  • How to transfer music from an old computer to a new one without losing CD's that were loaded?

    When I previously loaded my CD collection to my 1st laptop, I loaded it directly to iTunes. Now I have upgraded my laptop, and would like to transfer all of that music to my iTunes account on the new one. However, when I load iTunes, I only have the option to transfer the purchases made from iTunes (music only, it is not transfering the apps I purchased)
    Is there a way to transfer all of my music (uploaded from my CD's) to the new computer, without having to go back and physically put each CD in the new computer & upload the songs again? Also, how do I get my purchased apps & free apps to transfer as well?
    I appreciate any help.

    If you still have the old laptop use iTunes on it to go to the File menu item Library > Back Up to Disc...
    You can use this to create a backup copy of your entire iTunes library and load it into the iTunes on your new computer.

    You don't.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  the only exception is itunes purchases.
    The iphone is not a backup device.

    No.  You have to get the music in iTunes and then sync to the new iPod.
    Transfer iTunes purchases from the old iPod by:

    Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of thse discussed here:

  • How to transfer Music from iPod to Computer/Windows/Mac

    I want to transfer iPod music to my mac,because iPod memory is not enought to use,whether I need a tool to help me to transfer music from iPod to my mac, because apple devices is not allowed to direct transfer music from ipod to mac,whether you have some good idea?Please help me!!!thanks!

    1.The first thing you want to do is connect your iPod to your computer via the white USB cable.
    2.After your iPod is connected, open My Computer, or just Computer from the start menu and look for the iPod drive. It should be in the (F:drive. You will see the iPod logo in the listing of disk drives.
    3.If you are using Windows 7: Open the iPod drive and click on ORGANIZE. Then folder and search options tab. Then View and Show hidden files and folders.
    If you are using Windows XP, open the iPod drive and click tools then Folder options then View tab then click show hidden files and folder. Finally click Apply.
    4.Now you should have a new folder called ipod_control. Open that folder up and you should see the following: Calendar, Contacts, ipod_control, notes, photos, ect. If you are trying to save all of your music then the ipod_control folder is the only one you need to worry about.
    5.Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders (should look similar to these: F00, F01 ...) onto your computer. You can do this by creating a new folder on your desktop and dragging the files into the folder.
    6.Open iTunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music
    You can now transfer music from your iPod to this new computer with out losing all of your music.
    Hope it can help you.

  • How to transfer music from my old ipod to my itunes

    I have a old ipod that my sister gave me couple years ago. She put a lot of music in it and gave it to me as a gift. I wanted to transfer music from that ipod to my itunes.
    Is there any way to do it? and How?

    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your current iTunes library.  Then you can sync your iPod to that library.

  • How to transfer music from iPod to computer

    I am trying to update my 4th generation ipod touch to iOS 6.0.1 but I have all of my music backed up on another computer. How do I transfer the music from my ipod to the second computer so i do not lose the music
                                     thanks

    It's not that straightforward.
    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.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • How to transfer music from iphone to computer?

    My computer crashed and after repairing all my itunes backup files are gone.There’re almost 500 songs in it…But I still have those music on my iphone, so can I transfer the music back to computer from my iphone?

    Pop into iTunes and choose File –> New Playlist.Now you can just drag and drop music from your iTunes library (in iTunes, needless to say) into this new playlist. When you're ready, you'll see a bunch of music happily ensconced in the playlist.Cool. Now click on the "Music" tab and you'll see that you can select "sync playlist". Do that, then select the new iPhone sync playlist you've created.Set things up just as I have shown and that's all there is to it. Now click "Sync" in iTunes and it'll synchronize your playlist with the iPhone music library and next time you click on that ole' "iPod" button on the iPhone, your selections from you music library will be present.You may also follow this guideHow to Transfer Music from iPhone to Computer

  • Lost old backed-up files while moving music from an old computer to new Mac

    I was following the support topic, "How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer" on the support tab for iTunes. I followed all of the instructions and in one of the final steps, I was gping to put the estimated 1000 songs I already had on my Mac back into itunes. BUT, the folder on the desktop that SHOULD have had the files in it is completely empty. I need help locating those files. iTunes now only show the roughly 700 songs that I transferred in from my old computer. My boyfriend is going to be so angry if I lost 1000 of his songs...I followed the instructions on backing up those songs...how can I fix this???

  • How to transfer music from my iPhone to my new mac book pro itunes

    I would like to transfer my music from my iphone into my new macbook pro itunes

    Questions:
    Is the music from iTunes store or other source?
    Do you have an iTunes or iCloud account?
    What kind of Internet connection(s) do you have available?
    If you have an iTunes account and purchased the music there, you can just make sure the new MacBook is using the same account as the phone and sync, or look at the Purchased list on the left side in iTunes on the Mac. You should see your past purchases there and they will download and play as needed.
    If your music isn't iTunes purchased, I don't know how to do it... someone will.
    What is your setup as far as iTunes?
