Is it at all possible to move ipod music from a mac to a pc?

...without a CD burner on the mac?
Here's the problem...
My son wants to burn a CD of some of his ipod music. We had originally intalled the ipod on a mac. However, the mac disk is full, and we haven't been able to install an external cd burner.
We have several pcs with cd burners, so I thought I could move the music over to the pc using the ipod. It did create a "shared" library, but you can't do anything with that but listen to it. I reformatted the ipod to pc format, but can't put the music back on the ipod.
I should be able to reformat the ipod back to mac, then reload the songs on there, but unless I can free up enough space to load the cd burner software, I'm kind of out of luck?

Windows can't read the HFS+ file system that a Mac uses.
If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

  • I somehow deleted all of my previously downloaded music from my mac once I synced my iphone

    Hey,
    I have no idea what happened but when I synced my iPhone 4 (don't judge I am upgrading soon) to my Mac, it deleted all of my music EXCEPT for about 100 or so songs that I had downloaded via my iphone. Now when I go to my library for my Apple ID, all I see are the 100+ songs and all of my previous songs are gone (over 2000) :/ The backup I have is apparently corrupted so I fear that I am hosed.
    Any idea why my Apple ID is now only associated with songs I have purchased on my phone? Shouldn't all of my downloads, throughout the history of time be available? Any help would be super duper, otherwise I guess I just have to start rebuilding my library..... <sigh>.....#firstworldproblems
    Thanks!

    Huh? I am not sure what that means unfortunatly...

  • Move purchased music from mac to pc

    Hi all, not sure whether to post this under iTunes for Mac or iTunes for PC.
    I want to move purchased music from a mac to a pc. I've read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329 and http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ but I'm still not sure of the best way. I've "authorised" the pc. Some hours of trying to get the mac & pc to connect to one another via lan got nowhere so I'd like to try going via external disk. Do you think I can just copy the iTunes track files to a (fat32) hd then plug that into the pc and somehow copy or import them into iTunes? The pc is brand new afaik w7; the "mac" is actually a bootable (ccc) dump of a mac which isn't working at present, with another mac booted from this. TIA for any advice - Terry.

    +Some hours of trying to get the mac & pc to connect to one another via lan got nowhere+
    That's too bad, it's uefull to have file sharing set up between the two. It was kind of a pain for me to set up, but I'm glad I got it going in the end.
    I finally stumbled on the Mac setting in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > WINS to set the proper workgroup name.
    Do you care about ratings, play counts, etc? If so it is a bit more work.
    If not, yes, just put the purchases on the exHD while connected to the PC, then connect the exHD to the Mac and add them to your Mac itunes library.
    Make sure the itunes preference > Advanced for "Copy files when adding..." is checked, so they will go to the Mac's hard drive.

  • Is it possible to move my iTunes from the old laptop to the new one (including all the music files and playlists) without having to start all over again with a blank iTunes?

    Is it possible to move my iTunes from the old laptop to the new one (including all the music files and playlists) without having to start all over again with a blank iTunes?

    yes
    You will need to copy the whole iTunes folder which is in your user profile on the old computer in Music folder.
    Before you do it make sure iTunes are updates on the old computer and it works without any problems.
    This will copy all your media, music, movies (provided you did not change the default location).
    After the migration you will need to sing in to Apple store again with your Apple ID
    and also authorize your new computer (both done from the tom menu bar in Store.
    Once you are done please deauthorize your old computer (the same menu path) if you are not planning to use it anymore.
    Any problems post here.

    Hello tt2
    Been using your Syncstats, working magically.
    However though, when I try to sync the stats of all songs at once - if one song poses a problem - everything stops.
    Is there a way around this?
    Rather than: click "no" (in order to manually sync songs one by one)??
    By the way - this pops up:
    Line: 136. Char:53
    A0040203
    Lines 136 & 137 deal with updating the Last Played and Last Skipped values. I initially suspected the error could be being caused by null values in one of the fields which I didn't encounter in testing, however the same values are accessed previously in lines 129 & 131. Ideally I'd work out exactly what causes the error so I can test for the problem issue rather than throw the error, handle those circumstances in the most sensible way given the aim of the script, and continue to process non-error causing values as is.
    The quick alternative is to ignore the error by placing an On Error Resume Next statement before the possibly probablematic code, and an On Error Goto 0 statement after it to resume normal error handling. I.e.
    On Error Resume Next
    {Ignore errors in this block}
    On Error Goto 0
    Not always a good idea but in this case I suspect "Do nothing" would be the appropiate action in those cases that currently cause an error so I've made that change and posted up the new build of SyncStats. Let me know how you get on.

    If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help.  Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive. 

  • I just got my ipod from my dad and he has all of his songs on there from his mac, and so now he gave the ipod to me and i want to put all of the songs on MY computer onto my new ipod and take all of the songs of that my dad originally had.

    When you connect the iPod to your computer and go to the Music tab to select which music you want to sync, iTunes will pop up a dialogue box that if you sync your music it will replace the music that is already on the iPod.
    Since that sounds like what you want to do, just click ok and then sync.

  • How do i move ipod songs to my mac?

    I have my classic 80GB iPod that is about 90% full of music, most of which is from my old Mac G4. I just purchased a new late 2012 Mac mini and am trying to backup/copy the songs from my iPod to my Mac mini's iTunes Media folder.
    I do not see any thing that looks specific to this. the iTunes seems to have no issue syncing the music from the Mac mini to iPod, but how the heck do I go other way around?
    seems like this should be simple.
    TIA - lz4broc

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased all the music in the iTunes Store, connect the iPod, open iTunes and go to File > Devices > Transfer purchases.
    If not, you can use Senuti to transfer the music from the iPod to iTunes

  • How do move my music from iPod to a new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account

    My school district installed new computers. The IT told us that our iTunes would not be effected.  When I went into iTunes on my new computer, there was nothing there. Obviously I can't plug in my iPod or everything would be erased.  They said that there is nothing they can do about this.
    How do I move my music from this iPod to this new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account?  It appears that it was wiped out. I have close to 400 songs that I use for daily classes. The os is now Windows 7. The old one was Vista.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have an old nano purchased in 2006. It indicated new models on the page.
    Any other suggestions?

  • How to move my music from my itouch back to my itunes library

    i had to restore my computer so now i have no music on it. I want to move my music from my Ipod back to my Itunes on my computer. Last time i tried this i clicked sync and it just deleted all my msic off my ipod. this just seems like the dumbest thing in the world that syncing cant go both ways. Please help me

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.  Certainly you did not restore your computer without making sure that your backup copy of your computer was up to date.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
