  • My computer crashed. How do I get the songs off my iPod and onto my iTunes?

    I have a second generation iPod Touch. It's an 8GB. I had basically filled it to capacity with music with a few apps and videos on there. Then, my computer crashed. So, after downloading the latest version of iTunes i tried to sync up my iPod and get the music back. Instead it asks me to "Erase & sync" or "Transfer purchases". My iTunes is fresh and has no music on it, so I am not going to erase and sync it. And most of my music was not purchased from the iTunes Store, so I am not going to transfer the purchases because it would have a fraction of my music on the iPod. My iPod hasn't been synced up in days because i will lose all or most of my music, but I do have all my music on it. I was just wondering if there was any way to import ALL the songs off my iPod and put them on my computer as well as iTunes!

    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

  • Computer crashed - how do I get my songs off my ipod mini back onto mac?

    hi there - I have an ipod mini linked to a powerbook g4. Recently I had to do a clean reinstall of the operating system. Now when I connect my ipod, i get an error message saying that this ipod isn't linked to this computer.
    If i interpret the message correctly, changing the link will link them, but as I understand it, it will also wipe all the songs on the ipod as there are currently no songs on the computer. But if I choose the 'no' option I can't access any of the songs from the laptop as they are all greyed out or sync the songs back to the computer.
    Yikes!
    Can anyone help out. Short of digging out all the CDs and digitizing again, is there a way around this problem?
    Thanks, in anticipation.

    Yeah, syncing them will wipe the iPod. You need an iPod Manager (other than iTunes) that'll move songs from the iPod to the Mac (which iTunes is design not to do).
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers
    I used iPodRip. It took a little finaggling (sp?) so next time I'll try something else. You might want to look up some reviews of the others and see what'll work for you. Some save the play count history & playlist, others don't.
    Anyway, it's doable.

  • I switch computers now how do I get my songs off my ipod in my new library?

    I got a new computer and installed my ipod. It shows that all my old songs are on my ipod but they are not in the library. How do I get all my songs into my library?

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music 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 files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • How do I get the songs on my ipod to a new installation of ITunes

    I keep Itunes on my corporate PC and I just received a new PC after the old one crashed. I installed ITunes and connected my IPod Nano and was saw a window that indicated my Ipod was linked to a different library and I would like to change. It would seem that I would lose all of my stuff if I answered yes. How do i get my Ipod in sync with the new installed Itunes?
    Thanks!

    t would seem that I would lose all of my stuff if I answered yes.
    \Correct.
    It is in sync with your previous computer.
    How do i get my Ipod in sync with the new installed Itunes?
    The correct answer to your question is to plug in the iPod and select yes.
    It will sync your iPod with your new library which contains nothing.
    Sync between iPod and iTunes is one way. Computer to iPod.
    The question you really want to ask is, “how do I get the songs off my iPod onto my computer?”
    Go to www.yamipod.com.
    This will allow you to get everything of the iPod and into iTunes.

  • HT1296 I have an ipod and an Iphone 5.  My computer crashed and I lost my itunes on my computer.  Is there a way to link my devices to my computer to put my music back on my laptop.

    I have an ipod and an Iphone 5.  My computer crashed and I lost my itunes on my computer.  Is there a way to link my devices to my computer to put my music back on my laptop.

    If your music is all purchased from iTunes, you can log back in with the same Apple ID, authorize the computer and get your past purchases back. If not, then see this document put together by another user. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Is there a way of getting your songs off your ipod?

    Okay, so i have my ipod synced with a computer that i'll never see again. It was my ex boyfriends...is there a way of getting my songs off my ipod and on to my new computer or am i basically screwed if i want to add new songs?

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the 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. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    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
    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
    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. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    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 planned with 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 purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases 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):

  • My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library. How can I restore it from my iPod?

    My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library. How can I transfer my music from my ipod back to my computer? (I did not back up my entire itunes library.)

    Ipod syncing is not one way. You just have to know what to do...
    I can see you use windows. Connect ipod to pc, but don't install or dont open itunes - dont alow itunes to sync automaticly). Then open explorer, enable hidden files, open your ipod (as you would any disc) open hidden file with strange names and copy all of them on your new hard drive. Then drag all this strange-named files in your itunes...woooo...now those strange names become your songs...it is magick
    I you won't i can send you step by step guide...
    Take care.

    We have more than one computer at home. How do we get the songs from each computer onto one I-Pod?

    Copy the songs to a computer that is running iTunes, add those new tracks to the current library, and then synch those tracts to the iPod.

    "i want to know will yamipod copy everything to my itunes from my ipod like playlists and the name of the ipod , settings etc"
    Yamipod copies music (including playlist). Your settings are stored on the iPod and will not change. That includes the name you gave it which should show up in iTunes whenever you connect the iPod.
    Yamipod does not transfer play-counts, ratings etc.

    How do I get my music off the iPod back onto my computer after a crash....?
    Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
    You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
    There has to be a way.
    There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
    Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
    It's an audio player... not a backup device.
    If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy.
