Ipod Video (iPod Classic) data transfer to Ipod Touch?
I am very interested in purchases an iPod touch, but there is one thing I am curious about before I do. Now I've had my 30g iPod video since the day it came out and needless to say...it's chock full of pictures...songs...videos...most of which are no longer available to me (broken or lost CD/DVDs...lost pictures)...basically just a lot of data that is only on my iPod.
Now before I purchase the iPod touch, is there a way to directly transfer the data from my Classic iPod to the iPod touch? I am aware that there are programs that do this; I'm just wondering if there's an easy way or if it's even possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
This article at ilounge.com might help you...they're usually good with situations like this.

I believe they cover both Mac and Windows perspectives of the problem. I wish you luck, I had to do this dance a few times on my old Mac before I finally got the drive space to keep my music on my computer and on my iPods at the same time!

160 GB Ipod Classic - data transfer problems
Hi I have a 160 GB Ipod Classic that I have been using to transfer large amounts of data files back and forth between home and work. I had a PC laptop at home and originally had the Ipod formatted for PC, but recently bought a new Mac Book Pro and reformatted it to MAC. Now when I try to hook up to a PC at work it will not recognize the drive and wants to format it to PC.
Is there anyway around this? I could reformat it back to PC and still use it on the MAC, but I like to have it formatted to MAC so that software updates occur when I hook it up. I am trying to make the jump and live in Mac-Utopia...:)
Also, I now have the Itunes library transfered to the MAC
Any help out there would be much appreciated.
Thanks
MarkIs there anyway around this?
Not without installing software such as HFSExplorer or MacDrive onto the PC.

What's the best way to transfer and view my files from my Macintosh Classic to my MacBook Pro?
I mostly want to transfer my written documents, some of which were created in ClarisWorks. Will they be viewable on my MacBook?
thanks,
-MattMatt,
The easiest way may be to use an external USB floppy drive connected to your MacBook Pro. Please note that you will have to copy the files to 1.44 MB HD diskettes (the special 800K Macintosh format can not be handled by a USB drive).
Unless the file formats in question are readable via the MacBook Pro programs (study any lists under the Open dialogues), you may have to carry out an appropriate conversion on the Macintosh Classic prior to the transfer. For example, you could use the Save As menu command in ClarisWorks to convert a ClarisWorks word processing document to something like Rich Text Format (RTF) or plain Text.

Can I transfer all of my data, including music, pictures, apps, books, and videos from an Ipod Touch 4 to an Iphone 4s via Itunes on my pc?
Yes, see:

Does iTunes or any other software need to be installed on a remote computer to do data transfer?
(Ie. transfering data from school/work where I wouldn't be allowed to install software)No, all you need to do is go into itunes prefs -> ipod and set it to mount as an external device.
And i believe to acesses the external device in windows you have to go to start -> My computer... and you should see the ipod as an external device. -
Transfer Amazon Instant Video Content from iPod Touch
I made the mistake of purchasing a TV season from Amazon Instant video, unaware that I would not be able to download my content to my MacBook. I was able to download the TV season to my Windows Desktop using Amazon Unbox, but the DRM protected WMV files will not play on my Macbook. I was also able to download the TV season to my iPod Touch, using the Amazon Instant Video app. So, I was hoping to transfer these files from my iPod to my Macbook.
Now my question is: Where are the downloaded video files saved on my iPod? I downloaded iFunBox to browse the files on my iPod, but I could not find the video files anywhere. Does anyone know where the Amazon Instant Video app saves downloaded content in the iPod Touch's file structure?
Thank you,
JamesUpdate:
I was able to locate the files I was looking for, however, they were not video files. Each TV episode is represented by a folder containing hundreds of small .data files.
Does anyone know if .data files can be reassembled into a video? I have a feeling this is linked to DRM protection.
Thanks,

You need a 3rd party software to copy the iPod data to your PC, iTunes, then sync iTunes to the Touch.

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!
Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup. -

I have a laptop and the hard drive had to be replaced because it WILL NOT work (This broken hard drive will be refered to as "HD1" from now on). So I had no choice but to have HD1 replaced with a better hard drive (the new one will be refered to as "HD2" from now on). I had HD1 for about 5 years, but what is stuck on HD1 is my itunes library will all of my music, like I said before HD1 will not work so I cannot retrieve any of my itunes data, or any data to be exact. But also, my data that was synced in HD1's itunes library is also on my ipod touch, which is still functional for the time being. HD2 has been installed and working perfectly and I installed itunes on it as well. If I synced my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library, all of my music on the ipod touch will get deleted. What I'm trying to do is have all of my music on my ipod touch transfered to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted.
Key things to remember:
-"HD1" is my broken hard drive
-"HD2" is my new and awesome hard drive
-I can't access HD1 at all because it doesn't work
-I have an ipod touch with all of HD1's music on it
-HD2 has an empty itunes library on it
-I need a way to transfer all the data on my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted
Is there someone, anyone who can help me out with this?I think so when you sign in your itunes library with your apple id which you were using on HD1 the data will be transfered or simply use icloud.

My MacBook Pro hard drive crashed a little while ago and has been replaced. Is it possible to take tunes from iPod Classic and transfer all of them back to iTunes on computer? Is this just for purchased tunes or can I do it for ones that have been burned from CD's as well? Thanks for any help!

Want to transfer data and sync my iPod touch to a new computer
I have a new computer running Windows 7 and would like to sync my iPod touch to it now instead of my older computer running Windows XP. How can I transfer all my music, playlists, album art, apps, contacts, and other settings from the old machine to the new one? I connected my iPod to the new computer after I installed iTunes on it and got a message saying this iPod was already synced to another computer. I was able to get all the songs that I have purchased on iTunes, but the bulk of my music collection is from CDs that I own. I really don't want to have to import them into iTunes all over again on the new computer. Surely there is a way to transfer everything from one computer to another. Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
- One you move the stuff to the new computer, restore the iPod from backup and sync.
