Moving music from an iPod Classi to a MacBook

I have an 80GB iPod classic with about 4,500 songs (17GB) on it. My music was in iTunes on a Dell PC which I no longer have access to. I am planning on buying a MacBook Pro. I am hoping (praying) that I can move my music straight from my iPod to my new laptop. Is that possible? Is it a problem that they came from a Windows environment?

Try Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
As is Music Rescue.
Both of these should work with a Windows formatted iPod because Macs can read and write to FAT32 formatted drives.

Question about moving music from an iPod to your computer.

In my household, we have iTunes on three different computers. My mother downloaded music on my brother's computer, and it's on his library. We want to burn a cd with the purchased album, but his computer does not have a cd burner, but the other two do. Is there a way to move music from one computer to another, or possibly moving music from an iPod to a computer's library?

Music is synced to iphone from itunes.
Plug in iphone and select whatever you like to sync from itunes to iphone.

Hi Crystal,
So I cancelled the first & only order I will ever make thru this company & want my account deleted.
I can't get thru to anyone by phone or chat. Is there no other way to accomplish this?
Sorry for this hassle. No, you need to contact them. What is the problem you are facing in contacting them?
What happens if I sign out & just never sign back in?
You might still get charged. Let me know if you still can't get through.
Thanks,

CAN I TRANSFER MY MUSIC FROM MY IPOD NANO TO MY MACBOOK PRO

can i transfer my music from my ipod nano to my macbook pro.

Yes, you can. If your music collection was purchased from iTunes, you are in a good shape since that music is forever yours under your iTunes account. Therefore, after installing iTunes on your new computer, sign into your account and see all your music under "Purchsed". Then simply download it to be phisically present onto your macbook pro (for free since you've already paid for it).
On the other hand if you happens to not be a sucker to waist money on iTunes and your collection was ripped from the internet (via torrents and such), you can follow this guide to transfer ipod music to mac. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Moving music from new Ipod to new MacBookPro

I have just bought a new MacBookPro and are trying to move my downloaded music on the Ipod to Itunes in the new computor. It will not work? What am I doing wrong??

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7 A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
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's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others as well, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

Moving music from my ipod to my itunes, how is this done?

hey, how do i sync my itunes with my ipod and not the other way around? my ipod is composed of two slightly overlapping itunes, one from my computer at work the other at home... how do I set my itunes at home to my ipod?

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.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

The vast majority of my iPod music was not purchased from iTunes. How can I transfer the music from my iPod to my new MacBook?

Most of my music on my iPod was not from iTunes and I need to transfer it to my new MacBook Pro. Anyone know how, preferably without spending money?

Moving music from my IPod to my library

The hard drive on my computer crashed and I lost everything. I got a new hard drive but lost all of my music. Is there any way to get the music off my IPod and put it back into ITunes? My IPod is dying and I'm afraid I'm going to lose all of my music for good. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I need help: Moving music from an ipod to a new library.

Hi, so I'm having a lot of trouble. My friend just gave me his old Ipod because he just got a new one. And it has a lot of music on it that I want. But I don't know how to take the music that's already on the ipod and put it onto my itunes. Because my itunes keeps saying the Ipod is synced to another library and that I need to sync it to my library. But to sync the ipod to my library all the songs that I don't have that are on the ipod I loose and all I end up with are the same songs I already had. So I hope you guys understand my question. I just wanna know how to move the songs from the ipod to my computer without loosing any music.

There are probably programs you could download to transfer music on windows, but the old way works fine. First you will need to change your folder view options to show all hidden files. Then plug in the ipod and ignore itunes (dont quit it or the ipod will dismount) open the ipod drive and go into the ipod control file, then into the library file. There will be a bunch of files all starting with F. Inside of those are the songs, they will all be labeled some random 4 letter title. Once you drag them into itunes they will regain all the correct titling and info. This will probably take a while, and its really only for situations where your computer crashes and you want ALL you music back. You really can't pick and choose the songs you want from it, since everything is labeled gibberish, and they are in no order whatsoever in the F folders.
Good luck. You could also just look for a free program somewhere to transfer the music. My method is the old way.

Moving music from my iPod to Itunes...

I recently downloaded Yamipod because my computer crashed, leaving me no songs in iTunes 7.0, but 3783 songs on my iPod. I want to move these songs from my iPod to my iTunes, whenever I plug my iPod into the computer, iTunes automatically opens and asks me if I want to replace the songs on my iPod with the songs in my library, which is zero. I hit cancel because I want all of the songs off of my ipod to be put into my iTunes and iTunes then displayed the message Updating iPod. Thinking that iTunes was erasing my library, I disconnected the iPod, fearing that for some reason my songs will be removed from my iPod. None of the songs were harmed and the iPod still works fine, but I want the songs on my computer. How can I keep iTunes from recognizing my iPod? Is there a program that does this task better? (I would be willing to pay for some software if it is ensured to move my music flawlessly.)

Connect your iPod and when you get the 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 songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also if you are using Yamipod your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
