How to transfer music from iPod classic to mac

I recenty bought a new mac because the hard drive crashed on my old one. All my wifes music is on her ipod classic and we would like to transfer it to itunes. I asked the guy at the apple store and he said there was no "apple" way to do it, and then told me to google it. I did not back up my computer for whatever reasons, but wont make the same mistake twice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you can always transfer purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 which apple should of told you about. But now we want the good stuff so here is the best free program I found to do it http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/products/musicrescue/.

    i cant figure out how to transfer music from my phone to my new mac

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • 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 ipod to ipad

    I am needing to know how to transfer music from my ipod to my iphone and ipad...I dont not have a mac computer

    If they are iTunes purchases then you might be able to re-download them directly on the iPhone and iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) : re-downloading. If you can't re-download them then you will need to go via a computer's iTunes (PC or Mac).

  • Laptop crashed and how to transfer music from ipod back to laptop and won't transfer new purchases to ipod?

    My laptop crashed about 2 days ago. I got it fixed and had to reinstall it. I had to reinstall itunes all over again. How do I transfer all my songs from my ipod including the ones that were from hardcopies and by hardcopies I mean cds I bought in real life and is on a disc. All of the songs are still on my ipod so how do I upload all of the songs and videos (purchases, music/songs from hardcopies/cds uploaded not bought from itunes, etc...?) How would I upload all of that back to itunes on my laptop? Another question is for some reason when I hook up my ipod to my laptop, I recently bought 23 songs about a day ago and it won't upload those purchases to my ipod, is it because I have all the hardcopies and downloads on my ipod that the itunes library doesnt have? Also, how would I sync my newest purchases to my ipod efficiently without deleting any of the hardcopies I uploaded before my laptop crashed?

    phonefans is a spammer, ignore his posts.
    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.

    It's not that straightforward.

    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 get musics from iPod back to mac, how to get musics from iPod back to mac

    how to get musics from my Ipod nano back to my mac ?
    I mean, using apple approved or suggested softwares.

    Hey there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
    It would also be a good idea to re-authorize your computer if you have any purchases from the iTunes store. Hope this helps.

  • How do I transfer music from ipod classic to ipod touch?

    I have an old 30GB iPod Classic with a lot of music on it. I just inherited my son's iPod Touch. Is there a way to transfer my music files (about 1100 songs) from the old one to the new one. Some of the songs were downloaded from the iTunes Store, others were made from my own CD's.
    Also, my son and I each have our own iTunes accounts. Can I safely switch the newer iPod Touch from his account to mine?
    Tim

    Since no one is responding to my question, I will post some ideas I have gotten from browsing other peoples' questions.
    It seems that the first thing I should do is follow instructions to move all of my son's iTunes Store purchased content from the iPod Touch to his iTunes account on his Macbook Pro. Then he should be able to sync it to his new iPhone 5 or not, depending on whatever he wants to do with it. But at least, it would not be lost.
    I have already copied the purchased content from my old iPod Classic to my iTunes account on his Macbook Pro. However, I would still need to obtain some third party software to copy my non-purchased content from the Classic to my account on the Macbook Pro.
    Then, the next step might be to change the iTunes account on the Touch from his to mine. Is this a safe operation?
    Then, I should be able to sync the Touch to my iTunes account on his Macbook Pro, thus getting all of my content onto the Touch.
    Does the above sound like a reasonable course of action? Would any additional steps be advisable? Thank you very much for any advice you could provide.
    Tim
