Moving music from I-pod to a new computer.

My old computer crashed with my all my music. My question is this: I now have a new computer and have I-tunes on it but I am trying to get all my old music off my I-pod to my new computer. Is this possible & if so how would I go about doing it. Right now it keeps saying it wants to sync and erase old songs as they are linked to a different computer. Thanks for any help possible.

  • Moving music from external hard drive to new computer

    I lost my iTunes library, but still has my music file on an external hard drive.How do I get my music onto the new computer + Itunes from the external hard drive?

    On new year's eve some POS shot a .40 cal bullet through my living room window and hit my 20" 2.4 GHz iMac on the edge of the screen. -- Let me just pause to say that we're lucky we were out at a party. -- Anyway, this iMac was the hub for our media. We used it to sync/control content on our ATV, of which we had about 200 GB of music, TV, & movies (mostly purchased via iTunes). I had a Lacie hard drive connected to the iMac for storage of the iTunes Music folder (I was running 10.5...it wasn't upgraded to OS 10.6). Anyway, I didn't have the media backed-up (not using time machine), but the external hard drive wasn't damaged by the bullet. I now have the 21.5" 3.06 Ghz iMac with OS 10.6. Is there a way to get the new computer to use the content on the Lacie hard drive?

  • Moving Music from my Ipod to a new computer

  • How can I move music from my iPod to my new computer if my computer can't SEE the music from the source?!?

    I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
    When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up:  Calendars, Contacts and Notes.  I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
    When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer!  WHY?!?
    When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
    HELP, please.  I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
    Thanks in advance...

  • Is there a way to transfer music from my iPhone4 to a new computer?

    My old computer's hard drive crashed so theres no way i can go back and get all those songs:/
    So i was wondering if anyone knows a way to transfer music from my iPhone4 to a new computer without the need of my old computer.

    Use a utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com or Phone to PC | macroplant.com.

  • I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
    Pasted from another thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    More information is contained here.

  • How do I transfer music from an iPod to a new computer, with an existing iTunes account that is not mine, or to an iPad??

    My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library and music. The music is however on my iPod 5th Generation. How do I move my music to my husbands computer, where he has his own music....or how do I transfer or add my music from my iPod to my iPad?
    I also lost all my gift card money on my iTunes account. Can I add my iTunes account to a computer that already has an iTunes account?

    I have read this, but it does not help. My crashed computer had my iTunes library with MY iTunes ID. The new computer and iPad that i want to transfer my music to, that is on my iPod, is under a different iTunes account. Can I still transfer my music from my iPod to a new computer that has a different ID?

    how can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.

    If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I have used Pod2Mac.  There is also Pod2PC.
    There are numerous choices, some free, some payed.  Do a Google search.

  • HT1349 i have a new pc and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all data to sync.  How can i get my music from the ipod to the new computer?

    I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync.  How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer.  The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.

    One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

  • How do I transfer music from my ipod to a new computer?

    I need to move all the music from my ipod to a new computer so I can put it in iTunes?

    The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.
    If neither of the above are doable, and you have a PC, use this:
