Importing Off IPod

I had an old computer and I have all my music on my Ipod. My old computer has crashed and doesn't work anymore. Is there anyway I can get my Music off my IPod and onto my new computer?

You don't need to patronize spammers like the previous poster. Search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC, some of them free.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Hope this helps.

  • Load songs off ipod to computor or disk

    Is there anyway to load songs off ipod to computor or disk?

    For 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.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    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 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.
    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.
    More information is contained here.

  • Audio sync problem with videos imported from iPod Touch

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I used to shoot video at a family birthday party. When I imported the footage into iMovie '11, the audio is not in sync with the video (video is about two seconds behind audio) and there is only the left channel of audio. I verified that the video on the iPod plays just fine--no audio sync problem, both left and right channels work. I just upgraded to iOS 5 on the iPod Touch. The iMac is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    As a workaround, I can import the video into iPhoto instead. When I play the video in iPhoto, there are no audio sync problems and both channels of audio can be heard. I have imported other iPod Touch videos successfully into iMovie '11 in the past few months, but this has been the first time these problems have occurred. Any help would be appreciated.

    Premiere cannot handle clips with variable framerate.
    Your converted clips need to have constant framerate.
    Otherwise use a converter like Handbrake.

  • Does turning off iPod erase iPod diagnostic data

    When ever safari crashes I understand that it keeps that data and next time you connect it appears as diagnostic data. I always turn off/on my iPod touch when that happens. My question is that turning off iPod erase iPod diagnostic data? Is it necessary to turn off the iPod to stop crashing?

    I've not seen anything official but it is true in my limited experience that turning the iPod touch off does seem to clear that crash info. In my first two crashes I was offered to send info to Apple the iPod touch was connected to my iMac. In my latest two crahes I've turned the iPod off before connecting to iTunes and was not offered the chance to send info to Apple this time. Will continue to monitor.

  • I have an ipod 4 can i connect to pc and, using itunes match, store all music off ipod and then transfer to a new ipod 5?

    i have an ipod 4 can i connect to pc and, using itunes match, store all music off ipod and then transfer to a new ipod 5?

    hI, bella
    I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
    1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
    2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
    3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
    4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
    5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
    6. Click 'OK'.

  • Entire library of music erased off ipod after sync

    Ipod touch 5th gen 32 gb running IOS 8.2
    For the 4th time since updating to IOS 8.2, whenever i try to add new music to my ipod through itunes, when the ipod syncs with itunes, ALL of my music is erased off the ipod.
    Manually manage music and videos is selected. I do not have itunes/ipod automatically sync music. I have "prevent devices from syncing automatically" enabled.
    So heres the basic rundown of what happens.
    1-upload music to ipod
    2-let music copy over
    3-upload more music to ipod
    4-ipod/itunes begin sync
    5-syncing stops without copying music over
    6-all music vanishes off ipod after sync "completes"
    looking at my ipod music list in itunes, it shows all my music. when you click on them to play them, ! shows up next to ALL songs.
    when you look at the music on the ipod itself, nothing is there.
    this is what it looks like for the music that has be synced before, that has suddenly disappeared

    from my experience, the music is still there. the database is screwed up when itunes recognizes the music, but the ipod doesnt see it.
    what ive discovered, after the database crashes and everything is gone, see if you can find this info out. anytime ive had this issue, there are normally a few songs that wont copy over and itunes says "could not convert"(i have itunes setup to convert songs of high bitrate to aac 128kbps). when i go to delete those songs(because they show up on the ipod, but are greyed out), thats when the database crashes, and everything vanishes.
    my fix for this issue is this:
    unplug ipod from computer and turn off
    close itunes
    restart ipod
    open itunes
    plug in ipod
    sync ipod with itunes
    copy over one or two of failed songs
    watch itunes start to sync, sit at "waiting for changes to be applied" for a few minutes
    watch all my missing music reappear(over the course of about 10 hours, takes a few minutes to recopy 4000 songs)
    annoying and frustrating, but until apple can recognize this issue and put a fix in, this is the best solution i can think of besides throwing my ipod at the wall and fix the solution permanently. but that wont get me very far because of my lifeproof case.

  • When reinstalling Windows I lost my iTunes library, can i import my ipod?

    I did this with my ipod nano and it worked just fine. But with my wife's ipod nano, I can't find the music folder in her ipod when I open it up by double-clicking on "My computer". I can see a contacts folder and a couple of others ("calendar" as I recall" and something else), but no music folder that I can copy.
    Any suggestions, anyone???

  • HT5085 Can I use I tune match to get my music off iPod classic?

    Can I use I tune match to get my music off iPod classic?

    The iPod classic shouldn't be used to store the only copy of music or be considered a backup device. Put the music on a regular external drive or DVDs.

  • Turning off ipod is a strange design

    Turning off ipod by holding play/pause seems a really dim-witted design to shutdown anything. For one it does not ALWAYS work.
    Has anyone complained about this design?
    For crying out loud can’t an Apple engineer come up with an on/off switch I'm sure if they do China can make it. Heck make it an option I'd even pay extra for it.

    Adding another switch just to turn off the ipod would add parts and that lowers reliability and increases cost, so I can see why the ipod doesn't have a dedicated on/off switch.
    On the other hand, it should be smart enough to turn the screen off when commanded; if it still has disk housekeeping to do it could finish that up in the background, then actually turn itself off.
    I decided long ago to just forget about this whole issue, I just let my ipod turn itself off when it is good and ready. Having it run on for a few extra minutes uses a miniscule amount of battery anyway.
    Don't worry, be happy.

    Thanks in advance.

    Costs only $8 and is really worth it; fun thing about this is that it can be placed on your iPod; it will work when run off the iPod. This means you can retrieve your music from your iPod on any mac.

  • Concerns about getting music off iPod!!  Help!

    Ok, I don't want to download any program to take songs off my iPod classic 160GB.
    I am following this guideline taking the music from the 'hidden folder':
    http://www.metaphoriclabs.com/articles/5-ways-to-copy-music-off-your-ipod-window s-mac-os-x/
    TWO questions:
    *1.) When I go in to click for the folder to be "unhidden" and 49 folders show up, are the songs that I have PURCHASED on itunes included in these songs?*
    *2.) I am reading that when saving songs and putting them on iTunes, I am supposed to "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized." When I do this and go back into iTunes to see my music, EACH song is in a different folder.*
    Why would people keep the music in folders instead just list the songs (or their code name) in a folder? It would be insane if I had to buy a new iPod and would have to click on each folder to add the song in it.
    Please help!

    1.) When I go in to click for the folder to be "unhidden" and 49 folders show up, are the songs that I have PURCHASED on itunes included in these songs?
    Yes - they will be randomly scattered among the 50 folders. Each media file has a randomised 4 letter filename but retains it's original filetype. Put Windows Explorer into Details view. Your older DRM'd iTunes store purchases will have a file type described something like *AAC Audio (Protecteed)*. Other purchases will be mixed with any other files you've imported in AAC format.
    2.) I am reading that when saving songs and putting them on iTunes, I am supposed to "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized." When I do this and go back into iTunes to see my music, EACH song is in a different folder.
    Why would people keep the music in folders instead just list the songs (or their code name) in a folder? It would be insane if I had to buy a new iPod and would have to click on each folder to add the song in it.
    If your files are fully tagged, then when iTunes organises the files it will put each track in the form *iTunes Music\Album Artist\Album\## Track Name*. If you have a number of complete albums by different artists this is a logical structure, keeping tracks from the same album in a folder and albums by the same album artist together in a parent folder. If you have lots of single tracks from disparate artists & albums this might seem like a lot of folders but adding them to the library is a simple as adding the one top most folder so there is no need to click each individual folder to add songs. If, as I think you imply, the folder names consist of the random 4 character names then I take it that the bulk of your library was in WAV or another format that does not support tags. When iTunes tries to import the only information it has is the meaningless filename. Using one of the many availble iPod to PC transfer tools might enable these files to be imported back into iTunes along with some of their metadata, track name, artist, album etc.
