Ipod Back to computer with iTunes

I have a lot of music on my Ipod but it all got erased from my computer. I either want to burn the music from my Ipod onto a CD or take the music from my Ipod and put it on my computer. Now i don't think theres a way to drag and drop music off ur ipod so i wanna find an alternative way. If someone could please answer this question it would be helpful or else i won't have this music anymore i need A BACK UP. Also my computer is updated and working fine so theres no problem there.
Thanks NJregulator

For windows only
1) If Itunes is already installed disk use may need to enabled so you can see the Ipod in my computer. Itunes hides your ipod from windows otherwise.
2) Make sure you can view hidden files. In MY computer go to tools>folder options>view>show hidden files and folders.
3) Windows should see the ipod and your music should be on your ipod in several hidden folders. To be safe I would copy it all to say your desktop.
4) Install Itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and the Ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ (if you don't already have it installed)
After that drag the copied folder to Itunes (drag and drop or in Itunes (File>add folder to library)
You may need to authorise your new computer by playing it in the library first.
There are third party software that will let you take the music of for windows and mac.

  • How to get ALL data from ipod to new computer with itunes??

    I have a ipod touch 2nd gen. I have cd's and purchased songs on my ipod. I did use itunes on my friends computer for a number of years but now I've got windows 7 computer and i have downloaded itunes but it won't let me transfer current data on my ipod to itunes without me loosing it all. I can only access itunes at friends now. Is there any way to get all my songs, playlists, apps (with data still on it) and photos without deleting it? I am looking for the cheapest way possible. I have tried downloading copy software but it all costs money. Thanks

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:

    i have just reloaded my computer with itunes after a crash,how do i get my music collection back....if i try to sync with my phone will it wipe my collection off my i phone?

    - Have you used the Spotligh search function on the iPod to see if it on a screen or in a folder and your just can't find it?
    - Are restrictions set on the iPod to hide/prevent use of the Camera app?  Go to Settings>General>Restriction to check.

  • TS4006 how can I find my Ipod touch if I have not fully registered in Icloud? I downloaded Icloud but did not complete the registration. I recently backed it up with Itunes 2 wks ago. Will be able to find my Phone ID from that? Please help.

    I lost my Ipod touch. I have downloaded Icloud but did not complete registration. I have back it up with Itunes 2 weeks ago in my computer at home. I am out of town. How can I find my Ipod touch?

    In order to use Find My iPhone (or iPad, etc), your device has to be connected to iCloud with a valid ID/account, the Find my iPhone service has to be turned on (on the device), in Settings>iCloud.  It sounds as though you haven't done these tasks - unfortunately, there's no way to track your lost device.
    BTW, you don't "download" icloud, you register it on a device by going to Settings>iCloud and then click the ON switch and entering your ID/password (perhaps this is what you meant by downloading iCloud).

    I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
    As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.

  • HT5649 Our family has a shared computer with itune software. We have multiple apple devices and multiple itunes accounts. Can we share the computer and iTunes software to back up each apple device separately?

    How do multiple users with multiple devices share one computer with iTunes software to back up multiple devices and individual iTune libraries?

    Hi Goodguy147,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The easiest way to have multiple users with multiple devices share a single computer is to create a User Account on your Windows PC for each person.  Each person should also have a unique Apple ID.  That will keep each individual's iTunes Library separate from the others and each individual can associate and backup several devices to their iTunes library. 
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
    The article below is a troubleshooting article for Windows.  I'm just quoting the section from it that explains how to create user accounts:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717?viewlocale=nl_nl
    Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    Choose Start > Control Panel.
    Open "Add or remove user accounts." (If you're using the Classic view in Windows Vista, open "User Accounts," and then open "Manage another account.")
    Select "Create a new account" and follow the instructions to set up the account.
    Once you create the new account, choose     Start > Log Off.
    Log in to the new user account.

    My old computer with itunes no longer works.  If I hook my ipod to my new computer will I lose the songs that are on it now?

    Yes, you will.
    Do you have the songs still?
    You could add them to your new library if you do.

  • Using another computer with iTunes to charge iPod

    I have an 8gb 2nd gen ipod nano formatted for windows. Can I connect it to another windows computer and not have it automatically try to update and just charge it instead? Same goes for a mac? My music is on my desktop (PC) which is where I sync the ipod, but I also have a macbook and a sony laptop and I don't want my ipod to update with the music on the laptops. I just need to charge my ipod using the laptops.
    Thanks

    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys. On a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. 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 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    However the safest thing to do if you want to connect to multiple computers regularly is to change the update preference to "Manually manage music and videos":
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod
