New Hard drive and mother board, how do I get my music off my ipod?

Hi all,
I recently had my headphone jack replaced and Apple was nice enough to also replace my mother board and my hardrive! I neglected to back up my music, and now all my music is on my Ipod and I don't know what to do.
Is there any way to export my music from the ipod to my computer?
Thanks!

There is a program or two that you could download and use to transfer files from Ipod to Computer. Senuti is the one I have used. Works great and is free.

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.

Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
There has to be a way.
There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
It's an audio player... not a backup device.
If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy.

How do I get my music off my iPod Touch?

I had a virus and had to delete all the data on my computer. I am now setting iTunes up again and I tried to get my songs off my iPod touch. It transfered only a small portion of my music, only the songs I had purchased in the past few months or so. I am authorized on this computer, and the few songs I got by trying to sync the songs off my ipod. How do I get my music off my iPod so I can listen to it on my computer?

You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software to help you recover the non-iTunes purchased music. See this older thread for a few possibilities.

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 or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to the iPod and iPhone. However there are a few third party utilities that are advertised as iPhone and iPod Touch compatible which can be used to retrieve the music files and playlists etc. Have a look at the web sites and help pages for these ones and see what you think or check the web for reviews:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

How do i get my music off my ipod so i can put it on my computer

how do i take the music off my ipod and put it on to my computer , even if i can copy them , just dont no how to do it xxx

Transfer all iTunes purchases by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases with your iPod Touch plugged into your PC and in iTunes.
For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need the help of third party software to help get the job done. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering a few options.

MAYDAY. Hard drive crashed, lost everything, how do I get my music back on.

So hard drive completely shut down on my and when I took it in, the guy confirmed I had lost all info on the drive, obviously including Itunes. I don't have the original disk that my Ipod came with. How do I get Itunes re-installed so that when I plug my ipod in, it won't think this is a new computer and delete my files?

1). Download and install iTunes from the Apple web site. Connect your iPod to your computer. 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.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. 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: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. 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 read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only 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 or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). 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.
5). 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: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

I have a new laptop. How do I get my music off my ipod touch into itunes? It wants to sync and destroy months of work. Thanks

I have a new laptop. My iPod touch was synced to itunes on my old laptop. Now that I have my new laptop I can't get the music from my Ipod into the new itunes. So, when it wants to sync it wants to delete all of my songs and replace them with what is in itunes now. How do I get my months of work collating music onto my new laptop so I can add more?
Thanks

Download it and find the sub-folder Music.
Right click that and export it. Then import those files into iTunes. Do note that the file names are going to be pretty wierd (Like for example LPITE.mp3 - for the song Linkin Park In the End) but it should be fine if the names are in the files. You will know when you import it into iTunes.

Call me silly but how do you get your music off your ipod....

My old computer crashed, lucky me all my music was on my ipod, but now how do i get it out!!! and on to a new computer?? help

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."
