In iTunes you can set the preference to not automatically sync tunes.

  • Transfer Songs from Ipod to New Computer and New Itunes Installation

    Hi,
    I want to transfer songs on my Ipod to a new installation of Itunes on a new computer. I get a message that my Ipod is synced to another library and that I can only be synced to one library and that my ipod will be erased and synced to the currently libary. The problem is my current library is empty since it's a new itunes installtion and I don't want to erase my ipod and delete all my songs.
    So how do I transfer songs from my ipod to the new itunes installation on my new computer?
    Thanks for any replies.

    I think I've read in a post before that you can't do it that way. That you can only transfer music from the computer to the iPod, and not the other way around. I believe they suggested backing up your library (to disk, I guess) and installing it on the new computer. Something like that. It seems silly that the transfer only works one way, but there you are.

  • Transfer songs from ipod to mac computer

    How to transfer songs from a ipod/itouch to a mac computer?

    You sync your tunes, right? Those tunes are stored in your iTunes Library.
    Or maybe I'm understanding question completely. How did you migrate your tunes in the first place?

  • Trying to transfer songs from ipod classic to new ipod touch.  Itunes wont allow device library to load into itunes library?

    My daughter received an ipod classic and loade4d some songs onto it from another itunes acct/computer.  She also now has a new ipod touch and wants to transfer the songs, but I can't get it to share or add to iyunes librabry?

    You need a 3rd party software to copy the iPod data to your PC, iTunes, then sync iTunes to the Touch.

  • Bought new computer, Won't let me transfer songs from Ipod to new computer?

    Is this possible? I have several hundred songs on my Ipod/other computer (desktop). I bought a new Dell laptop and I was hoping I could transfer all the songs on my new computer. It did let me transfer the songs that were purchsed through Itunes but not the others that I downloaded from CD's. When I connect the Ipod to the new computer it shows no songs on it.
    Can I just connect my laptop to my desktop and tranfer songs or is there a way to trasfer the songs from the Ipod to the new laptop?

    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 of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    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

  • Is it possible to transfer songs from ipod to new computer?

    I recently bought a new computer and had put the itunes from my old computer onto a hard drive to transfer it over, however it didn't transfer all my songs. Those songs are still on my ipod and I would like to know if it is possible to transfer them from my ipod onto my new computer? PLEASE HELP!!

    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 purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod.

  • Want to transfer songs from Ipod to new computer

    I want to transfer my songs from my Ipod to another computer but Itunes on the new computer wants to erase my Ipod first. How do I do this? I hate the idea of all my songs being on just one computer. What if the thing starts smoking. I'd hate to have to re-collect over 1000 songs.

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • Trying to transfer songs from ipod to mac

    I have an Ipod touch that is my bf's, his ex was the primary user and the account info is all her. I do not have itunes password. We don't care about apps, and i would like to reset with his info, but there are over 1,200 songs and most are not itunes purchases. How can i get them off the ipod and onto my mac? when i try and transfer it tells me my computer isn't authorized to her account and i can not transfer only 76 items and that is fine, but when i hit cancel it ends transfer.
    thanks

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The ONLY exception is itunes purchases.
    If this music belongs to his ex, then it is not yours at all and it would be illegal to take the music from it.

  • Computer ruined...can I transfer songs from IPOD to new computer...

    So my computer was struck by lightning...and now I have a new one but cant seem to transfer the songs on my ipod to the new computer with new Itunes...is there anyway to do this? I didn't have my songs backed up (bad me)...do I want to transfer my purchased songs? can I get my IPod songs back on my computer?
    Please help!!

    Yes you can stop iTunes from auto opening. With your iPod connected go to the "Main" menu of the iPod on iTunes.
    Remove the check mark in the first box shown.

  • Transfer songs from ipod to same computer that has been restored

    I need to restore my computer to the original way we bought it, which means I will lose all my itunes songs. I've done this before, so I know there is an easy way to use my Ipod to transfer the songs to my restored computer, but its been so long I can't remember and don't want to risk it. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Try the instructions from MacMuse on the following link. Once you get everything back, you might want to start a regular backup program for your music so you don't have to worry about this, again. It's also a bad idea to rely on iPod as your sole backup. What if iPod is lost or stolen? What if you have to restore your iPod if it has a problem? I think you see what I mean, so PLEASE BACKUP YOUR MUSIC!
