Move songs onto another computer

My Desktop computer has a virus and I want to reformat it to get rid of the virus but i dont want to loose my songs. Is it possible for me to plug my Ipod into my laptop and somehow put the songs onto it so I can save them while I reformat my desktop computer? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I did the same exact thing using software called tune transfer. It's 20 bucks, but you may be able to find something like it in a freeware version.

  • Move account onto another computer...lost all my songs :(

    Hello,
    I am very new to computers and my ipod nano. I went to set it up at my home computer and I lost all the songs that were already on my ipod. How do you get them back?
    Appricate any help!
    ~thanks!

    Hopefully the songs are still on your computer somewhere.
    You can go to the XP Start menu > Search function and have a look. Enter the appropriate extension for the files (*.mp3, *.m4a, *.m4p are the most likely) and see what comes up.
    Here are some other tips on finding lost files:

    If they're not on your computer but are still on your nano, have a look at MacMuse's post on recovering music from an iPod. Read it over slowly and carefully before proceeding. Post back if anything's not clear.
    A very important lesson to be learned from this incident is that from now on you should always make sure you have a back-up copy of your music (or any other information stored on your computer that you consider to be valuable). Otherwise sometime, somehow, somewhere when you least expect it, you'll end up losing it.
    I hope that's not the case this time but remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • Trying to down load my purchased itunes song onto another computer

    I logged into my itunes on my pc to download a song I purchased but it says my computer has to be authorized, how does that happend?  What do I do?
    Thanks

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

    Can I get to my purchased songs from another computer????

    As King Penguin alluded to earlier:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • How to copy backup of iTunes library onto another computer?

    My primary laptop with my music library just crashed. I have a older laptop that I plan to use while I get the other repaired. I have a complete backup of my music library on external drive. After installing iTunes on the spare laptop I copied the backup music library to the iTunes music folder. However, when I start itunes, nothing shows up in iTunes. This has probably been discussed but several searches have not found how to recover this. Does anyone know what the process is?
    Thanks

    If you want to backup your iPod onto another computer you can download a program called "iPod to computer transfer" at the following URL:

  • Hello, I have created a distribution kit for my program.The problem is that the when the program is installed onto another computer, it fails to communicate with field point (Using FP-AO-200 and FP-AO-1000). Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks faen9901

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a program that sends information(analog output) to lab windows cvi in the form of a text file or user input.
    The program runs on the computers that I have the field point explorer and lab windows cvi installed on. In order to run the program without always installing labwindows/cvi and field point; I wanted to create an executable file that could be load on another computer.
    I used the create distribution kit part of labwindows/cvi to do this.After creating the distribution kit, I then installed it
    to another computer.
    My user interface appears on the screen, when the user clicks on the exe. file, but no data is sent to the field point module. I know that the data is being read from the user and textfile because in it appears in the uir.
    The following are some details about the problem:
    1. On another computer without labwindows/cvi and field point explorer not installed - no data is sent to field point module
    I know this because a current is being read on the current meter connected to field point module.
    My questions are the following:
    1. What are the possible reasons for the data not being sent to the field point module?
    2. Do I still need to create an iak. (Installing Field point Explorer) file stored on any new computer that I install my created distribution kit file too?
    Thankyou very much for any help that you can provide. I greatly appreciate it.

    1) If you do not install FieldPoint Explorer, the FieldPoint Server is not installed so there is nothing on the target computer that knows how to talk to the FieldPoint system.
    2) Yes, you need an IAK file on the target computer. Assuming the settings (i.e. com port#) are identical you can simply include the iak file as part of the distribution.
    3) You also need to include as part of your installer the file "fplwmgr.dll". If this file is not installed, your program will not be able to access the FieldPoint Server. Alternatively, this file is installed automatically if FieldPoint Explorer detects LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio Development versions on the target computer or if you choose to do a custom FieldPoint Explorer installation and
    choose to provide LabWindows/CVI support.

  • How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

    How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

    You can copy your image file  from you PC to your Mac over your home network or via DVD/CD.  You can not install you PC CS5.1 version on you Mac. Its not compatible with MAC OS.  You would need a MAC version of CS5.1 and Mac version serial number to activate it.  Adobe no longer markets CS5 so you most likely will not be able to pay for a platform switch media install.

  • Is it possible to download songs from another computer?

    I have a new ipod shuffle that i just got it recently. I dont have internet connection currently because I'm travelling. Is it possible to download songs from another computer. My main computer would be my laptop.

    Yes but it would probably overwrite the songs currently on your iPod when it syncs to the new computer.

  • Transferring my current iTunes library onto another computer

    How exactly do I transfer my current iTunes library (a 4gb file) onto another computer, my new computer, without using a USB drive of which I do not have?

    Well, the article did mention that I either needed to copy the iTunes library to CD or DVD or I could somehow put it on to my iPod by enabling disk use (a very long process) am I required to download iTunes 7 on my old computer in order to do this and if I do download it, will it automatically transfer all my music and playlists aswell?

  • Transferring iPod library onto another computer

    I don't have a computer at home so I have had to use my work computer to upload all of my music onto my iPod. However, I am leaving my job in the near future, so I will have to erase my iPod library on my computer before I do. Will I be able to transfer my library from my iPod onto another computer in order to continue adding music/delete music?
