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.

  • 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.

  • Moving contents from old iPod to new iPod

    I would like to shift all the contents on my old 30g iPod over to the new 160g I just bought. I haven't kept everything on my iTunes library, so is there a really simple way to do this without losing things? Any help would be appreciated.

    The songs from the old iPod will have to be moved to iTunes, then transferred from there to the new iPod.
    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 is a little more involved than other methods.
    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 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 music from old PC to new Macbook

    Just got a new home PC, so all my music was deleted from it. I also just got a new MacBook. All my music is on my ipod, is there anyway I can transfer the music from my ipod to my mac, bearing in mind it is formatted for a PC?

    Connect your iPod to your Mac. 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. 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 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: 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. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases 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 to a computer
    The transfer of content from other 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 music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    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
    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.

  • Moving files from old ipod to new ipod

    I purchased a new generation 5.5 30g video ipod. How can I transfer all the audio books and photos and music from the old ipod back to itunes and then to the new ipod?
    thanks

    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.

    If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer", open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
    Disk Use.
    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
    CopyPod Photo
    Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

  • Need Help Moving music stored on IPod to new computer.......

    I Have a 60Gb VIdeo Pod, that I had linked to my old Powerbook G4, but the computer was taken and I bought a new Mac Mini, I want to know How can I take the Music from my IPod and link it to the new computer without overwriting the files on my IPod, It took me a three days to build my library from old CD's and I don't want to have to go through that again.

    Note that I am assuming you're properly licensed to be able to run the app on your new computer.  I do not propose doing anything illegal.
    With the ollld versions of Photoshop, like the one you have, you can try going through a process like this:
    1.  Copy the entire c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0 folder to the new computer.
    2.  Try to run Photoshop on the new computer.
    3.  Note any "missing DLL" message.
    4.  Locate the DLL on the old computer (e.g., in C:\Windows\System32 or wherever), and copy it to the same place on the new computer.
    5.  Repeat steps 2 through 4 until no more "missing DLL" messages present themselves.
    There may be other types of messages you'll see.  They're usually descriptive enough to be able to determine what it's looking for that it does not have.  If you get one you're unsure of how to handle, post it here.

  • How to get music from old ipod to new computer

    I have an old iPod nano and I want to get the music to my new computer (iTunes).
    How do I transfer it without losing the music? All the music in the iPod used to be stored in my old computer/itunes, which not longer exists.

    Hi rominabate,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to move your music from your iPod to your new computer. The article linked below provides several options for recovering music from your devices and backups, like transferring music that was purchased from the iTunes Store on your iPod to your computer.

  • Have iPod that about 8 years old. Want to transfer music from old iPod to new iPod.

    My ipod is about 8 years. Want to transfer music fron old ipod to new one. Can that be done ?

    Hello try again
    All your media should be in iTunes so you can sync using iTunes to get the music over. If you have any purchases from the iTunes Store you may transfer them to your iTunes library.

    First of all, put the music from the old iPod back to your new computer (and then into iTunes).
    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'.

    Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • Transferring music from old iPod to new Apple ID

    I recently purchased my 1st iPhone and changed my Apple ID when I did.  I just tried logging into my iTunes on my PC for the 1st time since and my music from my iPod is no longer there.  When I connect my iPod to the computer, I can see the music under the iPod and "On this iPod".  How do I transfer the music to my music in iTunes so that I can transfer it to my iPhone?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    your AppleID is like your SSI# you cannot transfer infromation from one to the other. what ever you purchased under the old AppleID is linked to that ID only.

  • 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.
