I reformatted my computer, and need to put music from my Ipod onto the comp

Is this possible, and if so, please let me know how it is done!

Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2).
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

  • Is there a way to put music from an ipod into the music library?

    I want to put music from an ipod into the music library. Is there a way of doing it because i dont know how?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    Everything on your ipod should also be on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.

  • My computer crashed, can i put music from my ipod to my new computer?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.

    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • Computer crashed, need to get music off my ipod onto new harddrive. Is this even possible anymore?

    My computer crashed and I got a new hardrive. I need to get my music off my Ipod Touch 4th gen onto my new computer...is it even possible anymore?

    For iTunes purchases:

    For other music you need a third-pary program like one of those discussed here:

  • Is there a way to get music from your iPod onto the computer?

    I recieved most of the music that is currently on my iPod from my cousin, but if i want to add some of MY music to the iPod then i have to erase all of her music off of it! Is there a way to save the music that is already on there and then put it back on the iPod once it has been erased?

    First of all try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.

  • I can't put music from my Ipod in the library

    When I get my ipod I put the music from a file of my computer in the library in itunes...then I organize all the musci by artist, year,etc...and I did download all the music from library to my ipod....once I got the music in my ipod I eliminated all the music of the library because all the music already was in a file in my computer...the thing is that I want to put the music of my computer in the library of itunes because all the musci files are organized and I can't do it

    Leave the music in iTunes.
    I put the music from a file of my computer in the library in itunes...then I organize all the musci by artist, year,etc.
    What do you mean you organized it? iTunes does all the for you.
    Did you mess with the folders after you added to the iTunes library? If so, iTunes will lose track of it.
    the thing is that I want to put the music of my computer in the library of itunes because all the musci files are organized
    Then why did you delete all the music?

  • If you sync your ipod to one computer, then u sync it to another can you get the music from your ipod onto the new computer?

    i had my ipod synced to one computer. Then that computer died. i want to add more music from another computer, but i dont want to lose my music now. how can i do this?

    No. Music only syncs one way - computer to iPod. You would need to use a third-party utility to transfer music from the iPod to the iTunes Library such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac

  • My mac failed a month ago and apple needed to put in a new hard drive, which deleted everything. so, i need to put music from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my mac, please help?

    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.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

    I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
    How do I do this?
    (when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

    Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said.  You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
    If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before.  You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer). 
    After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
    If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

  • I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content

    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Putting Music FROM an Ipod TO a computer.

    I have windows 7, and I'm using the newest version of itunes, i also have an ipod touch and i was just wondering if there is ANY way to put the music FROM my ipod ONTO my computer, I just got a new computer and i want to put my music on it.

    What you should do is transfer your existing iTunes Library from your old computer, or the backups you made of it, to your new computer, then carry on syncing as you did before.
    iTunes does not have the facility to transfer music from the iPod, except for iTunes Store purchases made on the iPod touch (File > Transfer Purchases).
    Google for "ipod copy" for third-party software that will copy from iPod to computer.
