  • My old computer died just after I transferred iTunes via external HD.  When I transferred the content from the HD to the new computer, most songs won't play.  Message is "Can't identify source".  Sharing was on in the old computer when it died.

  • HT4527 My old computer broke but I have all my content on an iPad. How do I get the content from the iPad to a new computer?

    I had an old HP computer that had crashed about a week ago. I had all my music and apps stored on that computer but luckily, I also had all that stuff stored on my Ipad. Is there a way to transfer all the content from my iPad to a new computer?

    The ipad is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back

  • How to move songs from iPod to Library?

    I have more songs on my iPod than in my Library. How do I move all the songs into Library? Drag and drop is not allowed.

    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music 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 but not playlists 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.

  • New computer won't take songs from ipod, how to register new computer?

    My hard drive crashed, I had to buy a new one. All my songs were on my old drive. Except for what is in my ipod. I bought a new hard drive, but haven't had the $$ to have files removed from old drive yet. Installed itunes onto new drive, plugged in Ipod and it says it will either replace all 400 songs from my pod with the 1 song in my new itunes, or it can only take itunes purchased songs from my pod, which is only about 5% of my songs on my pod at the moment. How do I register my new pod to my new harddrive??? Help!

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, 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. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Music from ipod to itunes on new computer

    I recently had to get a new computer due to my old computer dieing on me unexpectedly. Ive got about 400-500 songs/videos on my Ipod and I want to put those songs onto this new computer in the new itunes I just installed. How can I transfer the music on my ipod to my new computer? Not all of the music/videos on my ipod are purchased, so I cannot just do the Transfer Purchases thing.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    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.

  • How do I Move Music from iPod Nano(2nd Gen) to Computer with Windows Vista?

    I just got a new computer due to my old computer crashing so I'd like to transfer my music from my iPod Nano 2nd Generation to my new computer so I'll have a backup. I followed the directions listed below but they didn't work. Is it possible that it didn't work because I'm using Windows Vista? Is there anything else I can try?
    1 - Open iTunes
    2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
    2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
    2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
    2c --- Click OK to store changes
    3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
    4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
    5 - Within iTunes: Edit=>Preferences=>’iPod’ tab: switch iPod to ‘Manually manage songs & playlists’ – click ‘OK’
    6 – Eject iPod
    7 – Close iTunes, then reopen iTunes and attach the iPod (it’s in manual sync now)
    8 – File=>Add Folder
    9 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod (or the lower ‘\iPod_Control’ sub-folder)
    10 - Click OK

    I just noticed this question is under the iPod Nano First Generation discussion but I have a 2nd Generation
    Message was edited by: bethyanne

    All of the following programs should work with Vista.
    Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

  • Moving Data from iPod to iTunes on new computer

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have a new computer and I am trying to upload the songs from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer. I do not have the old computer to transfer from the old iTunes to the new iTunes. Is it possible to use the iPod to transfer the song files?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • HT1399 sync music from ipod to itunes on new computer

    I have a new computer and I want to import my music off my ipod onto my itunes.  I have already set it up to not sync automatically and I have transferred my purchased music.  My computer won't show me any of the files on my ipod so how do I get them into itunes?  Do I have to load all of them again?  My previous computer didn't have Cloud so my Ipod is my backup.
    Thank you,
    Tonya

    Hi Tonya,
    ... my Ipod is my backup.
    The iPod is not intended to be a backup device. You should move your music from your old computer to the new one, but you can also use "manually manage music" and use the iPod to do it.
    The following two KB articles explain each procedure, respectively:

  • Getting songs from iPod to iTunes on new computer...

    My old computer recently crashed and all my songs that were in iTunes are currently on my iPod. I just got a new computer, how do I get the songs off my iPod into iTunes on my new computer without losing any of the songs? Please help me!!

    Install iTunes on the new PC and authorise it.
    Then you can copy across in various ways...
    Copy from iPod to PC
    It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
    You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    However this is not allowed for other music.
    This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
    http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
    Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

  • How to download songs from IPOD mini to a NEW computer

    My current home computer crashed and I had to replace it unexpectedly. Now I want to download my songs from my IPOD to the new computer. Not knowing the computer was going to crash I wasn't able to backup the songs on my IPOD mini. I have over 1000 songs on my IPOD and do not want to have to start over. Is there anyway to transfer my songs from my IPOD to the new computer?

    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

    iPodRip Software
    PodUtil Software
    XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
    You need at least three sets of your music:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?
