My old comp crashed! How do I move data from my ipod onto the new one?

I had a dell laptop; it crashed... I have about 2500 songs and videos on my ipod; is there a way for me to move the data from the ipod to itunes in my new computer? Thanks for any help...

Hi! Welcome to Apple Discussions Forum.
If you have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, then those are pretty easy to transfer to your computer. You'll just need to follow [this instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].
All your other songs (for example, those ripped from your CD's), you'll need to use any 3rd party program to transfer them to your iTunes library!
Some can also transfer your playlists, videos, ratings, podcast...

I would recommend you to keep your media safe, backing up library. Click [here|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302392] to learn how to do it, using CD's or DVD's.
Hope this helps! If you still have doubts, please reply.

    The easiest way is to simply restore your music from your backup drive.

  • How do I transfer data from two computers onto my new mac?

    I recently bought a new macbook pro with retina display after owning an iBook G4 and a powermac for 7 years but I now want to transfer the data from both of my computers (which both only have one account) onto my new computer. I'm wondering if it is possible to transfer the data from both of the computers onto my new one and if so how. Another issue is that my ibook had recently broken but the only issue was the ram was not working so I had the data recovered and put on an external hard drive so now what was on my ibook is now on an external hard drive. I really want to know if I can still transfer both computers onto my new one or if I can only transfer one of the computers onto my new one and I have to transfer the other one manually. Any ideas?

    Migrating is simple and complicated at the same time, in your case simple to transfer files (e.g. films, pictures, docs...), and difficult for settings and all hidden stuff. My piece of advice is to use iBackup (grapefruit.ch) for system settings, which does not take too much, and simple drag-and-drop from older macs unto the new one. I would use firewire, as Retina does not this port, try to purchase a FW-to-ThB adapter, it may be worth having it. Connect the new mac to the old ones one after another, and restart the old ones in target mode (press T after chime), they will turn intro external drives, and may easily transfer anything.
    If you are not familiar with iBackup, perhaps it is better to Migration Assistant, I do hope it works with older Mac OS. Note that, used after settings a new mac, it will create new users for the transfered data. The advantage is, they will transfer files and settings, but perhaps more than you really need.
    Ort, as BGreg says, manual transfer of all files, this may prove slower, but you may have full control of all operations.

  • How do I move data from my iphone to a new iMac?

    I just purchased a new iMac.
    I would like to move all data (music, apps, etc.) from my iPhone to the new iMac - how do I do that?
    Also, I have an old iMac that is no longer working but was one of the 5 computers that I had authorized for sharing music.  Is there a way to de-authorize that computer, even if it does not boot, to 'reclaim' a sharing computer?
    Thanks...

  • 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...

  • I just bought a new ipod shuffle, how can i transfer music from my old ipod onto the new one

    How do I transfer from my old ipod to my new ipod

    You can't transfer it directly.  If the old iPod is set to sync to your iTunes library on the computer, everything on the iPod is in your iTunes library.  Just set up the shuffle to sync from your iTunes library as desired.
    If the old iPod is set to Manually manage music, AND there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, please post back.

  • My hard disc has failed how can I download data from my ipod to a new hard  disc?

    my hard disc has failed how do i transfer the data on my Ipod/Ipad to a new hard disc?

    In addition to the comments above, when you create a new library with the media that you recover this will be treated as "new" for the device and iTunes may want to wipe it and start over, losing any personal data and settings. The following approach ought to help.
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to your iTunes installation
    Transfer your purchases into a library authorized to your account
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer (same as above)
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • My itunes has been deleted from my computer by a technician. how can i tranfer the music back from my ipod onto the new itunes ive installed?

    i have a PC and i had itunes on it with lots of songs. A technician fixed my computer and deleted my itunes on the way. Iv'e reinstalled an itunes programm, how can i transfer the songs from my ipod touch onto the itunes? I'm afraid that if i'll sync the two, the songs from my ipod touch will be deleted since the itunes on my computer is empty

    Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer othre music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Retain app data and other information, connect the iPod to yur computer and make a backup by right clciking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the Backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

    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.
