  • Loading iPod songs on new computer with previous users

    I recently purchased a new iPod Nano and I am attempting to load my songs from a previous iPod onto a new computer (Mac) that is being used by another user (with their songs). My previous songs were loaded from an old computer that does not work anymore. I would simply like to load my songs on a new computer (which has a previous user) without syncing to their songs. I would then like to load my new iPod Nano with my songs from the old iPod.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    If you are going to be sharing the computer it would probably be simpler to set up a second Mac UserID on the computer and transfer your iPod music to iTunes within that ID rather than copy it into someone else's iTunes library. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one.
    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:

  • My iPod is now corrupted and I need to get the songs onto my computer.

    Earlier today, while listening to my iPod, I dropped it and it hit the ground hard. Now, as I try to connect it to my computer, it claims the iPod is corrupted and needs to be restored. However, none of the songs on my iPod are on my computer and I really don't want to lost all of them (I have a LOT of songs on it.). Is there possibly some way to get the songs from it onto my computer before losing them all so I can put them back on? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I am currently having a similar problem (without the dropping part). I found a way to get all my music onto my computer, but the only problem is that the song titles dont get written as the file name. Instead the names of all the files are just 4 letters (ZHRU.mp3, WXIQ.mp3, ...). This isnt too much of a problem though, because in iTunes, all the song information is there. For me, this was a bit of a problem because some of the music on my iPod is in my iTunes and I wanted to avoid doubles. But if none of the music on your iPod is on your computer, then this shouldnt be a problem for you.
    There is a program called ipodrip that you can use to take all the songs from your iPod to your computer. If your iPod is not recognized, then a message comes up and says something about hard ripping the music (or something like that) choose that option, and all the music should be taken from your ipod to your computer.
    Hope this helps.

  • Laptop Stolen, now How can I get Ipod working with new computer/disable old

    My laptop with my itunes was stolen. I still have my IPOD 30GB.....
    I have a new computer, and I think I can download Itunes to it and hook up the ipod and it will be able to load ipod content to the new computer???
    Also I am worried, what about the old computer, do i need to DeAuthorize it? How would I do that since I don't have it in my possession?
    Thanks for any help!!!!

    *what about the old computer, do i need to DeAuthorize it? How would I do that since I don't have it in my possession?*
    You can't deauthorise a computer you no longer have access to on it's own. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option once a year to deauthorise them all in one go and start over: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
    *I have a new computer, and I think I can download Itunes to it and hook up the ipod and it will be able to load ipod content to the new computer???*
    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. 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

  • Computer hard drive crashed. Need to transfer iPod music to new computer -- how to do this??

    My Windows 7 computer crashed, and now I need to transfer my tunes from my iPod Nano to my new computer. I have both purchased songs and songs I uploaded from CD's.  Can anyone help tell me how to do this?  When I plug in my iPod the iTunes software only shows the songs that I purchased from the iStore, not the ones I uploaded from CD's.
    Help appreciated.  Gail

    You can't do it without third party software.  Do a google search for 'transfer ipod to itunes'.  This is the first hit to come up, but there are others.

  • I need help getting itunes on my new computer. old one crashed

    My old computer crashed, I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and need help getting all of my stuff on it that I had. I did 'home share' to see if that worked, and it didnt.
    Also, on my old computer, when I synced my iPad & my husbands iPod, it didnt sync any music or podcasts, no videos-and i went through each category seperately to sync it and it didnt work. So I can't sync my devices to the new iTunes bc not everything is on there that i have purchased.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comuter for just this occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

    Yes, I had a backup, but there was a severe error, and that too corrupted my iTunes...
    Perhaps you could have mentioned that in your first post...

    Purchased tracks can be transferred to computer using iTunes 7. Anything else needs other programs available online. Anapog and Yamipod are two, though there are many others.

  • Transferring Ipod songs to new computer

    Hi All,
    I looked at the instructions to transfer my ipod songs onto my new computer and while they were crazy long, I think I could have gotten through it. One problem, I don't have my old computer.
    Is there anyway to transfer the songs on my ipod, other than my purchased songs, onto my new computer?
    The thought of digging all my cd's back out and loading them into this computer isn't my idea of fun.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Tranfering ipod songs to new computer

    I am looking for a little help. The Apple help desk told me there is free software to assist in transfering all the songs from my ipod to my itunes library. I can see the songs I purchased, but not the list of songs I loaded on myself.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    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 from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
