For non-purchased you will need a 3rd party program

    Hello cgbuehling
    You can, but only the purchases that were made from the iTunes Store. Other content that was imported from a CD or other sources will not transfer over.

  • My itunes was deleted off of my computer. Is there any way I can get my music from my Ipod back onto my computer?

    Most of my music is from CDs that I don't have anymore. I've got over a thousand songs and most of them were deleted when my computer crashed. Is there any way I can get my music from my ipod back onto my computer? Any sort of program you can buy? Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

  • I recently had to do a complete system restore how do i transfer my itunes library from my iphone back onto my computer

    I recently had to do a complete system restore on my computer. How do i transfer the itunes content from my iphone back onto my 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.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a  backup copy of your computer. Certainly you did not restore your system without making sure that your backup copy was up to date.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good) then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Is there a a way to get photos from your iPod back onto your computer?

    My sister's computer crashed, and she lost all her photos. Her pictures are on her iPod, but I can't find a way to get them onto another computer. I searched posts looking for programs that could help, but they all cost money. Does anyone know of free programs that can help me????

    There aren't any free ones that I know of, but if you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer" in Windows or Finder on a Mac, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
    Disk Use.
    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
    iPod Photo Copy. (Windows only)
    iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
    Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

  • How do I remove synced photos from my Ipod back to the computer?

    I had to replace the hard drive in my laptop and now I have lost all my photos that were placed in my Ipod from my files. How do I take the photos back off of the Ipod and into the laptop? Thanks!

    You could e-mail them to yourself.  They will not be of the original quality.
    The ipod is not a backup device.  The photos sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    Did you fail to backup your pics?

  • Can I Transfer Music From My iPod Back To The PC?

    My PC was recently wiped, and I have lost a music album that was stored on there. However, this album is still on my iPod mini. Is there any way I can transfer it back to my computer from the iPod?
    I've only recently got my iPod so am unsure as to whether this is possible or not.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    It certainly is possible.
    If you want to transfer the entire contents of the iPod back to the computer, use these directions:

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it: Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod 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. Then go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, 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 again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.
