My old laptop crashed, how do I get music and pictures from ipod touch (2nd generation) to new laptop?

My old laptop crashed.  I bought a new one, but when I loaded itunes and plugged in my ipad 2, it only added the songs that were purchased in the itunes store.  I upgraded my os to 5.0 and it deleted all of my songs, a lot of my apps, and all of my pictures except for the ones on the camera roll.  I have these pictures and songs on my itouch 2nd generation but I can't get it to synch with the new computer.  All of the solutions I have seen online don't work.  I can't upgrade to the newest operating system because it is only 2nd generation. I tried turning on Home sharing and saving to the cloud, but I can't get it to work on the itouch.  Please help! 

I don't have a backup copy of my old computer.  I bought an external hard drive and it said it backed up, but when I plugged it into my new computer, it was empty.  My old computer is not accessible.  Is there a way to get the music and pictures that are on my iphone and ipod onto my itunes account on the new computer? I have already lost them on my ipad.

  • How do I get music and movies from iPod to my computer?

    Hi How can I put all of my music and movies that are on my iPod onto my computer? They were all on my computer before but became erased. Thanks!

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    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 the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    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
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, 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.

  • How do i transfer the music and apps from ipod touch to iphone

    how do i transfer the music and apps from ipod touch to iphone

    If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
    Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.

  • Lost hard drive how do I move music and pictures from iPhone to new drive

    I lost the external drive that had itunes on it. How do I get all my music and pictures from my iPhone to the new iTunes program?

    Music is not stored in the iCloud. Past purchases can be reloaded from the cloud, and iTunes Match provides this function to non-purchased music.

  • How to put current music and pictures from my Iphone to a new Ipad?

    Hi this is my first question!
    I am about to recieve a new iPad mini. I currently have an iPhone 4s and I want to transfer all my pictures and music over to the new device. I have just backed up my phone so that all latest files are on my PC. I have tried iCloud but this is out because my internet is too rubish.
    So what should I do?
    1. if i set the iPad up using the iTunes backup, everything will go on to the iPad that I have on the phone including the apps, which im not bothered about because I will be using less apps than before.
    2. If I set it up as a new iPad, can I connect it to my PC and get my music and pictures/videos over to the device without everything else.
    I know this sounds confusing but I don't know what to do, I asked in the Apple store and they didn't seem to know either,
    cheers, David

    You can restore the iPhone's backup onto the iPad, but that won't include the contents of the Music app nor the photos if they were originally synced from a computer (if they were taken with the phone they should be included) - restoring a backup onto a diferrent device also won't copy passwords (router, email, website) so you will need to re-enter them on the iPad. You can copy your iTunes purchases (including apps and music) from the iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) - if you do decide t backup/restore then you will need all of the iPhone's apps on your computer's iTunes as the backup only contains their content and settings, and not the apps themselves.
    If you set it up as a new iPad then as long as the music and apps are on your computer's iTunes then you can sync them over to it. iTunes will remember you sync preferences for each device, so you can sync more than one device to it without them affecting each other.
    You can copy the photos and videos that you've take with the phone to your computer : photos to a computer.
    And you can then sync them to the iPad : syncing photos.

  • TS2771 how can i get my speaker to my iPod touch 5th generation to work i cant hear with without using the ear phone's

    How can I get my speaker fixed I cant hear only when I use my ear phones

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty or the iPod has been abused, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • How can I retrieve music and pictures from my Apple Tv?

    I had thousands of picture, music and movie files on my Macbook Pro, which was synced to my Apple TV.  I have since lost that Macbook Pro along with all the files on it.  I bought a new Macbook Pro, but want to see if there is a way of getting all the old files from the Apple TV and putting them on my new Mac.  I'd  prefer not to pick apart the Apple TV to get to the hard drive.  Is there any app or simple way to transfer files through Wifi, like a reverse home sharing?  If there isn't there should be.

    I assume this is a 1st gen and not the newer models (black box). In any case it is not meant to be used as a storage device and thus no easy way to retrieve

  • How do I copy music (personal & purchased) from iPod Touch to iPhone 5c?

    I have 464  songs on my iPod Touch 4th gen; however, only the 194 songs I purchased from the iTunes store show up in the iTunes Library on my Mac.  Accordingly only the purchased (194) songs are being backed up to the Cloud.  I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and was able to load what was in the Cloud.  I would, however, like to be able to access ALL of my music (i.e., all 464 songs on my iPod Touch) on my iPhone.  How do I get the 270 songs (not in the Cloud) onto my iPhone 5c? 
    If this can't be done within iTunes, is there freeware available for this purpose?  I downloaded an application called "iExplorer" (from Macroplant) only to discover that this "free download" is not, in fact, free to use, but costs $34.95.  I only want to transfer files from my iPod Touch one time; hence, $34.95 is a costly one-time fix, especially if free/less expensive options are available.  Thanks, in advance, for any help others may be able to provide.

    To copy non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program. Try the free iFunBox
    For iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Then sync to the other device

  • How to remove music and movies from ipod touch 5

    Since recent update all music from itunes library has appeared on daughters ipot touch gen 5 and I cant get it off.  how do I remove it?

    you can only transfer itunes purchases from the ipod to the pc. to get any other music (etc.) from your ipod by using third party software (there are many threads on this, use the search box or try googling 'ipod to computer')
    you can also only delete 'Saved Photos' directly on the iPod. these are photos obtained on the iPod: by screenshot (press the sleep and home button at the same time), saving from email, or from safari (holding your finger on a picture while browsing the web will bring up an option to save it.
    any other photos will need to be deleted during the sync process (i.e. deleted from the folder which you sync your photos from)

  • How to fix white screen on Model A1288 IPod touch 2nd generation

      Checked email this morning.  Battery super low so it shut off.  I plugged it into my computer to recharge...it showed the little battery symbol with red lightning bolt as if it was starting to charge.  Tried to turn it on a minute later (while charging) to see if I could still send an email and all I see is a white screen; no icons or anything else.   HELP PLEASE ??? 

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Also
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
