Computer crashed, how do i import songs from ipod to new computer?

I need to import songs from my ipod to my new computer. I know there are third party softwares to do this, but which software is free, and is COMPLETLY VIRUS FREE. please give me a specific name and where to download it. Thx

I can't recommend any of the free ones. They either wouldn't install, or had severe limits not present in the purchased version. My advice is to shell out the $20 bucks.

Need to Import songs from Ipod to Itunes

Hey, so yeah my comp fried itself the other day [hard disk corrupt files issues] and i managed to get it fixed, with a new copy of windows installed. problem is i didnt wipe the hard disk [because many files are ones id rather not lose] and so the other account which was on 'dont share my files' [windows is ******** that way] is completely unaccessable. This means i lose access to documents, settings, and everything on the desktop / user-related files. They're still on my computer, but completely unaccessable , and windows pretends they arent there, because im a 'different user' now. Itunes was part of that. along with my songs folder. So i reinstall itunes, and the ipod registers, though saying it is registered to another itunes library, and i can change it to this one [if i want to wipe all my songs for the nothing that the current library has in it].
So clearly what i need to do is import songs from the ipod to the itunes library that i have now. This option doesnt seem to exist, ive been looking for it for some time. Any ideas?

Welcome to discussions! See the instructions from MacMuse on the following link. Once you have recovered your music, I would strongly suggest you institute some type of regualr backup program for your music library.

New computer, want to import songs from iPod

Can anyone help?? I recently got a new computer and I plan on giving my old one away but I need to get my music onto the new one!
I tried to "export song list" onto a flash drive but that just came up with a text file. I plugged the iPod into the new computer and it wouldn't do anything either.
HELP!!!!!!

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However 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. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

Importing Songs from iPod after hard drive failed

My hard drive failed. Fortunately all of my songs were backed up on my iPod. Got a new computer and can't figure out how to get the songs from my iPod back to my computer. Some songs were purchased from iTunes, some from CDs. I tried the import function and all it does is bring the titles into my library but cannot find them when I try to play them on my computer. The songs are still on my iPod.

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
You may already be using the iPod in manual update mode in which case you can ignore the rest of this post. In manual mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased. However if you are getting 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, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" 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 a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, on Windows, hold down Shift + Ctrl. 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 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
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.

Can't sync songs to ipod - help?

I've been having trouble with syncing songs to my ipod. I inadvertently lost all my songs, but they agreed to restore them. So far, so good. All the 50+ songs that I'd purchased from itunes in the last 2 years were restored --- but to what? My "library?" While all those songs appear whenever I plug in my ipod, there is no way they will sync back onto the ipod. Should I burn all those songs to CD's and then try to sync them? Apple suppost says they can't help me any further.

Ummm.
If your iPod says it is connected to another library, it should ask you if you want to replace all the songs on it. Click "Yes."
There is really no need to open up an old Library file.
To delete music from iTunes and iPod, simply hilight the song(s) you want to delete, press the delete key, and make sure you click "Move to Recycle Bin."
If this has nothing to do with your problem, please post back, only a with little more clarity.

Itunes says it's not installed properly and won't import songs to ipod nano

Everytime I connect my ipod to the computer a message comes up that itunes wasn't installed properlly. Itunes will open but my songs aren't updated to my ipod. It was installed from the cd too. I've tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it but the same problem occurs. Help!

okay. if you don't want to update to 7.0.x, let's try an update to 6.0.5.20 to see if that helps. (the itunes versions 6.0.3.5 through 6.0.5.20 tended to be more stable than the 6.0.1.3s.)
download and save to your hard drive a copy of the 6.0.5.20 installer. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.

do you still get the message with a 6.0.5.20 in place?

Transferring imported songs from ipod

My computer crashed, I had a mix of purchased songs and songs that I have imported on it. On my ipod I have 700 songs, only 117 have been purchased, the rest are from cds that I imported. I can transfer over the files that I purchased from my ipod back to my computer, but how do I get the rest of them back in my library???

Did you ever get the songs back on your computer ... can you tell how you went aout getting the sogs on your computer.

How to import songs from iPod to iTunes library

Is there anyway to take the songs off my iPod that I synced onto it from one computer and put them on another computer that I have also authorized? I have tried a couple different ways, and can't get it, so if there is a way to do this, I would be happy to find out. Thank you in advance.

Go back a couple pages in this forum to an article about moving songs to a new laptop and using your i-pod as a hard drive. It might solve your problem.

How to import songs onto iPod from two computers?

this probably was posted before, but is there anyway to upload songs from two different computers?
i have songs on my mom's computer that i dont have on my dads.

Try turning off auto-update. Right click your iPod, and go to iPod Options. Under music, click 'manually manage songs and playlist.' It should work after that. You will probabl have to do it on both computers.

Importing songs from Ipod to Computer

I sthis at all possible with the Ipod? It should be, all I want is to transfer my music on my ipod to my Laptop. Can I do this? Thanks!

OK, since your have to hook the ipod to play songs, I take for granted its already on "Manual Update" so I'll skip that part and go str8 to the third party apps. Just goto in itunes, edit>preferences>Advanced tab>general sub tab and make sure "Copy files added to library to the iTUnes music folder" is UNCHECKED before going on
Theres many out there but the 2 I usually recommend to people is the Free yamipod which will copy songs to the iTunes and the PC, OR Podutils trailware that will copy songs, playlist, playcounts, ratings and everything to another PC making you feel like you was right at your PC at home.
Yamipod http://www.yamipod.com
Podutil http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php
Almost forgot, but if you use podutil, when its copying, it will throw up a pop up you have to hit OK on for it to continue copying, small price to pay for something doing all it does for free

Export songs on ipod - help

I lost everything on my harddrive. I have my music on my ipod mini but want to export it back into itunes. Does anyone know how to do this?

If you have a PC try Ephpod. I used it to export music from my iPod mini and it worked great. I haven't used it for anything else though.
