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. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's 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, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • HELP ME PALEEEZE!!!! how to get music from iPOD to iTUNES on new computer

    I bought this iPOD overseas and started the music downloading thing from the iTUNES on my friends' computer.
    Now I'm back home in the states and have my own computer and don't have a clue how to get the music from my iPOD to MY computer.
    How can I get ALL this music from my iPOD to MY computer? I don't want to lose all this music b/c I don't have the cd's b/c I got the music from someone else.
    I'm new to this iPOD game as you can tell any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help me!!!!!!!

    It's still stealing. Your friend bought those CDs - You did not. He has the license to copy that music to his iPod - You do not.
    I don't think you're likely to get help here as it is a violation of this forum's Terms of Use to discuss illegal activity.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Transfer music from Ipod to Itunes on new Toshiba laptop

    I have purchased a new Toshiba laptop and installed Itunes. I have all my music on my Iphone 4. Can I directly move my music from Iphone to Itunes library on new laptop. The music was mainly imported from my CD collection - It was imported to Itunes on my old PC and then synched to Iphone from old PC. Unfortunately old PC has died without a back-up. Thus I need to transfer music from Iphone directly to Itunes on new laptop.

  • 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.

    If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.

    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.

  • Transferring music from iPhone to iTunes on new computer

    The hard drive on my daughter's new Mac Book Pro failed.  No backup (don't say it). The Apple Store replaced it.  All of her music is on her iPhone 4.  Is there a way to get all the music on her iPhone (including songs not bought on iTunes) into iTunes on the new hard drive on her Mac Book Pro?  Is iTunes Match a possible solution? Thanks for any help.

    I found this program "Phone to Mac" http://www.macroplant.com/phonetomac/ which sounds perfect.  Has anyone tried it?

    how do I move my music from my ipad to a new computer with itunes.  I have already done the purchases

    If you want to copy music off then File > Transfer Purchases will only copy iTunes purchased music off the iPad. To copy music bought from other sources and/or copied from CDs then you will need to use a third-party program to copy them off - see the page that I linked to for some examples.
