Is there a way you can transfer all the music from an ipod touch without losing any of it?

I have the latest of the Ipod Touch. My computer had crash but I didn't backup any of the music to a disc but its backup on the ipod touch. I want to connect my touch to my new computer but I don't want to lose any music. Is there a way I can transfer all the music without losing it?

  • HT1202 My iPod is set to manually manage music. I have tons of different music from different computers on my iPod. Unfortunately my iPod is getting old and I'd like to purchase a new one. Is there any way I can transfer all the music to a new iPod?

    My Ipod touch is set to manually manage music. I have put music from my computer and iTunes account onto it, and music from other people's computer and iTunes accounts on it. Unfortunately I dropped my iPod and the screen cracked. It still plays music and everything just fine, but it has problems with it's battery life so I'd like to just get a completely new iPod nano. Is there any way I can transfer all the music from my iPod touch onto a new iPod nano? From what I can tell it won't let me sync any of the music on my iPod touch that is from other people's computers onto my laptop, and so I wouldn't be able to put it on a new iPod nano. Hopefully that makes sense. I'd just really really like to be able to keep all that music and not lose 2/3 of my iPod touch music library because I want to put it on a newer Ipod.

  • Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
    I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
    If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer.  See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
    - Transfering iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

    how can i pass the music from my ipod touch to my mac

    If the music on the iPod was purchased through iTunes you can try Transfer Purchases.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name on the left side of the iTunes window under the devices heading and select Transfer Purchases. That should transfer the music into the iTunes library on the Mac.

  • How can I restore all the music from my iPod touch to a new iTunes/computer?

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen running on iOS6, a computer running on Windows 7, and iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (newest as updated today).
    Basically my laptop got destroyed beyond repair, the laptop that my iPod was synched to.
    I have iTunes now on another computer, how can I get my music from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer? Even getting it onto the computer will do at this point, as I don't want to have to download/rip CDs to get my entire music collection back.
    When my iPod is plugged in I can click on 'transfer purchases' but this only restores the apps to iTunes.
    When I had my old iPod classic, and was using an older version of iTunes, when I plugged my iPod into a new iTunes it said something along the lines of 'there is music on this iPod that is not currently in your iTunes, would you like to transfer to iTunes?' But there is no option like this now, I don't know if it's because its a different and newer iPod, or because a newer version of iTunes.
    Please tell me there's a way to copy all my music from my iPod to my computer, and preferably straight into iTunes so I don't have to input all the info again.
    Don'tcha just miss the old 'copy and paste music' mp3 players you had as a kid? *sighs at how complicated technology got*

  • I just got a new computer and I want to transfer all the music from my ipod classic onto my computer.

    I just got a new computer and want my entire library on my ipod classic to be transferred to my computer.  I transferred as many files as I could from my old computer through my external hard drive, but many of my cds didn't transfer.  When I hook up my ipod, I see it's entire contents.  My question is, does a sync only work from the computer to the ipod, or if I sync my ipod will the songs on it be synced to my computer along with all the playlists?  My biggest worry is if I sync it, it will go back to the factory settings or I lose all my music.  I appreciate any help.

    Yes...
    For iTunes purchases...
    Launch iTunes on the new computer. From the iTunes menu bar click Store > Authorize This Computer
    Now from the menu bar click File > Transfer Purchases from...

  • My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my phone, but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it.

    My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. I have lost all music & data that was on this original itunes. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone (music & photos) onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my iphone (3GS), but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it. Help please!!

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • My MacBook was wiped of all my music and everything else, and now my iTouch is the only device with my entire music database. My iTouch is old. (Version 6.1.6, Model number: MC547LL/A) Is there any way I can put all the music on my iTouch onto my Mac

    My MacBook was wiped of all my music and everything else, and now my iTouch is the only device with my entire music database. My iTouch is old. (Version 6.1.6, Model number: MC547LL/A) Is there any way I can put all the music on my iTouch back onto my MacBook? I hate that I could lose my entire music library by dropping my iTouch in the toilet.
    I've tried to plug in my iTouch into my MacBook, but I can't seem to give the music-transfusion without subscribing to iTunes Match or just completely wiping my iTouch.
    PLEASE HELP MEEEEE

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I recently lost all my files on my computer. is there any way I can download all my songs from my ipod to my computer.

    can someone tell me if i can download all my music from my ipod through my itunes into my computer. I recently lost all my files on my computer along with my music folder

    Music is intended to go from your computer to the iPod. Going the other way is contrary to the design and is not trivial. To extract music from your iPod requires the assistance of third party utilities.
    If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, no worries, you can simply download it again with the one caveat that the music is still available in the Store.
    For other music, the following might be helpful:
    Syncing to a new computer, crashed hard disk, no backup?

    Hello cgbuehling
    You can, but only the purchases that were made from the iTunes Store. Other content that was imported from a CD or other sources will not transfer over.
