I need to transfer my music from an old iPod to a new computer
I have a 9 yo iPod that has not had access to a computer for over 4 years. The iPod still works fine.
I'm getting a new mini mac and would lilke to set up an iTunes account on it and have my music and other files.
How do I transfer items? or is it even possible.
Thanks
Which iPod model is it? Does it connect with USB? If it needs FireWire (3rd gen iPod or older), the current Mac mini still has FireWire, but it is FireWire 800 (9-pin) so you will need an adapter to convert it to the old FireWire 400 (6-pin).
Once the iPod connects to the Mac, you cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new Mac, you can add them to the iTunes library.

I have an old iPod touch with songs from CD's I no longer have (so they weren't purchased on iTunes). The computer that the songs were synced on crashed a while ago. Is there a way I can sync my old iPod to my new computer and retrieve those songs to get them on my new iPhone? They share an Apple ID and iTuens account.
Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.

A little while ago my computer crashed and I lost everything, including my iTunes library except for on my iPod Shuffle. I just got a new iPod Nano for Christmas and I need to transfer the music from my old one to my new one but I can't figure out how to do this because my iTunes does not have the music that my old one does.
