HT1329 Moving non-itunes music from i-pod to PC without availability of "old PC"

How do I move my music from my i-pod to a new hard drive when I only have it on the i-pod and not on my "old computer".  The relevant section on the Apple support site doesn't seem to cover this eventualilty.  Thanks for any help.  Mike

  • How do I put my non-itunes music from my iPad to iTunes?

    I put lots of music that I did not purchase on iTunes (downloaded online) onto my iPad but recently, my whole computer crashed and I need a way to put all of that music onto my new computer/iTunes. When I try and Sync it, only my purchased music will show up and if I try and sync the music, it will delete all of my downloaded music. I use iTunes Windows and have an iPad Mini. Is there some sort of program I can use or is there some way to do it manually?
    I am selling my iPad and have to transfer everything quickly.

    Restore your computer from your backup...
    See this -> Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    After you recover it all, make sure you complete a full backup of your computer.

  • Copying non itunes music from iphone to computer

    My PC crashed. I purchased a new Window 8 computer and odwnloaded iTune. Apple no longer allows you to sync from iPhone to iTunes. I signed up for iTunes Match but that only put music I purchased in iTunes. Any ideas?

    Music has never been synced from the iPhone to iTunes except for music that was purchased from the iTunes Store.
    Where is your computer's backup that should include your iTunes library and all other important data such as documents, photos, etc., or was all other important data lost as well?

  • Non iTunes music from iPad to computer

    I have two coupons for free music downloads from play.me and Sony. If I download them to my iPad, then sync to my home computer, will I lose them or will they transfer? Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search, but I'm not the most tech savvy and I'm a former PCer. Thank you!

    It's great at what it does - view web content, play music/videos (has replaced our portable DVD player for trips), run Apps, read books, etc. It's NOT that good at downloading content and doing something with it, as it's really not designed for that, with the exception of viewing some very standard formats (.pdf for example).

  • I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

    Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
    Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

    moving my itunes music, movies, and apps to my Macbook from my windows computer??? I'm starting to have issues with my HP Pavilion, Windows 7, g6t-2000 Notebook PC 64-bit...... and I don't want to take any risk of losing my music and videos because a majority of is third-party (TRUSTED) and I don't want to lose them...... I need to move them to my MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7).

    Click here for options. Any movies you've rented from the iTunes Store on the PC won't play on the MacBook.

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

  • I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

    Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

    I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
    iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
    However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
    To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
    However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes, 
    Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound  from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

  • Moving an iTunes Music folder that's outside of iTunes (Library) folder

    My music is stored on my external hard-drive, but the iTunes folder (with the library and .xml file) is in my user "Music" folder on the main HD. I want to store more things on the external to make room on my HD, but I want to make some folders to keep the music separate first. But doing so will change the pathway. Is there a way of doing this change without losing all the track information (especially album art...that took me a LONG time to finish, I have a lot of music) ?
    I guess an alternative question is...will putting other files in the same path as my music directory on my external affect iTunes in any way? Do I need to make more folders to separate the iTunes music from the non-iTunes music? Or can I lump them together as long as iTunes knows where that folder is? If this is the case, I would still like to know if the former is possible. I want it to be nice, neat, and organized : ).

    Not sure if this helps your issue, but what I would do is close iTunes, then copy the entire iTunes folder to the external hard drive. Then you can use these instructions to open the library at its new location...
    How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
    Now everything is on the external. Assuming you were successful in opening it at the external location, you can now delete or reduce in size the version on your internal drive. iTunes should still be able to access the stuff that was originally in the iTunes folder as well as the stuff in other folders outside the iTunes folder on your external drive.
    Since everything is now on the same drive, you could use the consolidate command to move everything together into the iTunes folder. However this will move them and sort them the way iTunes wants to organize things, so if you have a different method of organization, this will mess it up.

  • I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.

    I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.
    I have backed up the iphone onto my newly installed version of itunes.
    All the purchased albums/songs have been tranferred.
    I tried to tranfer by ticking the sync box but its says it will wipe the iphone and replace it with the new library which has only a fraction of my 1000+ songs.
    I have read many reviews that say it can be done with a third party program but when I looked into this they offer free evaluation but want about £20 for the program but feel this can be done at no cost.
    The itunes is saying my iphone can only be synced to one PC but the original one is wiped.
    Am I right in thinking I should go ahead with syncing the iphone then do the restore. Im just worried that once its synced the music and photos/videos will be gone forever.
    If I go down this route, I think I still need to know how to tranfer the non purchased songs from my iphone back onto the PC with the newly reinstalled itunes.

    Then you will have to purchase 3rd party  software.

    No. You will lose the music that's on the phone if you do that.
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Restore the music to your computer using the backup you should have made of your data before you re-formatted it. If you didn't back up your computer, you will have to pay for software to try and extract it from the phone.
