  • Does anyone have suggestions for a legitimate file extracting program? I need to get music off my old IPod (the ITunes it's on is on an old computer that no longer works) and onto my new computer so I can download it to my new IPod.

    Thank you!

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I purchased an album and it has disappered from my iPod however other purchased items are showing. How can I get the album back? It is not on my computer on the itunes library due to the computer wiping all contents.

    My ipod touch lost all its data due to my computer crashing and having to be rebooted.
    This resulted in all software being wiped - including iTunes. Therefore, I lost all my music, apps etc on my library on the computer. I then synced my iPod into the computer which then updated the ipod software and then it cleared all my music.
    However, I managed to find my music on the purchased list and was able to re download it.
    Although, I'm aware that one album did not apper on the purchased playlist - I have an email to prove that I purchased this album however, it is not appearing to allow for me to download it.
    I am pretty sure that this is not the only album but due to the amount of music I previously had on my iPod it is difficult to tell what is missing.
    Is there anything I can do to get all my previous music back?
    Is there anything I can do by contacting Apple to see if they can help?
    Would greatly appreciate any help whatsoever! Just about pulling my hair out - due to no available phone calls until next thursday and NO email address to contact!

    Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

  • I changed my Appleid online yesterday because the old one was based on an email address that is no longer active. My phone still shows the old Appleid and will not let me access APP store etc. How can I get the phone to accept the new ID?

    I channged my Appleid at appleid.com and now the phone stills shows my old id and will not let apps that require id/password prompts work.

    Just scroll to the bottom of the screen in the store, log out and then login with the new ID.
    As long as you changed it from the manage account option at https://appleid.apple.com/ (ie. replaced the primary email address with a new one), then all your old purchases should be fine.

  • I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

    I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
    How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
    I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
    Help!

    No backup is a huge mistake.

  • My computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library?

    my computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone 3g is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library without losing everything? How do I delete old audiobooks from my iphone?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

    I'm going to see if Currys can remove all info from my hard drive and hopefully recover my itunes, but if this does not work is there another way to get them?

    The computer not working in no way means the drive is inaccessible.
    Place the drive in an external enclosure.
    Use the backup of the computer to restore the data to the new computer.

    You cannot unless you have a full TM or clone backup which you could use to erase your drive and reinstall the earlier version (that would be for your computer, not an iDevice).

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.
