Old pc crashed - installed iTunes on laptop. How do I transfer files from iPod Touch 4 to new laptop iTunes Library?

using ipod touch 4 with older OS... don't want to lose anything. Getting error message that if I update to OS v6.0.1 then I will lose content. How do I transfer the libraries (all - not just the downloaded items) to the laptop before I upgrade the OS?  using v4.3.5 (8L1) model MC540LL

You need iTunes 10. 7 or later on the computer. When the article says restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for 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 purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    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):

    Hi!
    You can use Migration Assistance, To open this go to Finder, Then Applications, Next go to a folder named Utilities. In There There Should Be An App Called Migration Assistance Open the app. Than go to your PC then go to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1557 And Click Download. Then When Asked Choose the Files you want To Transfer.
    YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT YOUR MAC AND PC SCREEN TO SEE IF ITS ASKING YOU TO DO SOMETHING!!!

  • HELP- new laptop- how do i transfer my existing tunes onto my new laptop?

    Hi Guys,
    I have 800 tunes saved in the Library on my old laptop and have brought a new laptop. I want to transfer my existing tracks onto the new computer. Could someone explain how to do this or point me in the right direction.
    Thanks in advance
    Jen

    It's easy.
    I'm assuming you know how to get your two notebooks onto the network, and make them accessible to each other by sharing folders.
    Goto old notebook itunes, goto your iTunes settings and check to see where iTunes keeps your music. It could be in your 'My Music'. This is also where iTunes keeps the Library database. Regardless, confirm the location because you will need to SHARE this folder on your network.
    Goto NEW notebook itunes. 2 things need to happen here.
    (1) In your iTunes settings, make sure you tell itunes to manage your music (which means it will copy any songs you add to the library to a local central location on your NEW notebook).
    (2) Import your ITUNES Library from OLD notebook. The import command is found in the FILE menu. Remember - you will need to browse over the network to your SHARED Folder sitting on the OLD notebook. Once iTunes imports the library, it should also be copying all the songs over the network to your new notebook. I would highly recommend not doing this over a wireless network.
    Simple.

  • How can I transfer songs from iPod on to new iTunes account?

    My old laptop shut down, forcing me to buy a new macbook. I do not want to have to copy all my CDs and whatnot to my new laptop again. Without having to transfer the mp3 files on my hard drive to my new mac, is there any way I can sign into my old account (even if the iTunes library is empty) and transfer my IPod library to the new iTunes?

  • For some reason is all my music gone from iTunes, but I do still have the songs on my iPod Touch... So my problem is that I don't know how to import my files from iPod Touch back to iTunes.

    Hey all
    I should export my music to another program, because I do also have this MP4, which needs some files. Well, I did that and it seems like Windows Media Player couldn't open the files, but then I go back to iTunes and I see all my files are gone. Nothing is left, and now I can't syncronize files to my iPod Touch without deleting all the existing files. So now the only thing I want to know, if it's possible, is how to import music (not from Apple Store) from my iPod Touch to iTunes?

    You can use one of the third-party programs discussed here to transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.

    I just got a new iPod touch (5th gen) and can't figure out how to transfer the contacts from my old iPod touch (2nd gen). I was able to sync my contacts in the 2nd gen iPod touch with my Google account when it was connected to iTunes, but I don't see that option now with the 5th gen touch. It only looks like it can sync to iCloud.

  • How do i transfer files from ipod to pc? please help!

    I have recently purchased a new laptop and i need to transfer all my files from my ipod on to it (especially music). i followed the instructions on the itunes/cloud page but when it said to "locate the item" none of the supposed "items" were there. i have purchased a lot of music from itunes and do not intend on losing my money. I also have a lot of other music i spent alot of time transferring from disc to ipod. my ipods software also needs updated from the old ios5(yes, 5!!) to ios6 as the software is starting to not work correctly. help would be very much appreciated as i feel like throwing my laptop out the window and telling apple to go do one.

    I don't know which page that you looking at but you should be able to copy your iTunes purchases over from it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. But music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs), then you don't have your music on a backup drive or your old computer (copying music , they should work for other content in your library as well) ? If not then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Depending upon what else is on it you can copy off photos taken with the iPod : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    And for documents or other files you may be able to use the via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc - whatever the app that they are in supports.
    There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How to recover lost files from ipod touch 3rd gen after sync?

    I synchronized my ipod touch in a new computer and it deleted all my files, and I did not have a back up neither my old sync computer. How can I recover my files?

    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Is a backup listed with the date/time you synced?
    Do you have an iCloud backup?
    If yo use the same iCloud ID you should still have you contacts, calendar and other iCloud stuff.

  • How do I transfer music from ipod touch

    My iphone is new and has no music.
    My computer crashed a while back and I lost my music.
    All my music is on my iPod touch.
    How do I transfer it back to my iPhone &/or computer?
    Both my iPhone and iPod are showing in my iTunes and I can even play the music from my iPod.
    But I don't seem to be able to either drag & drop, or copy & paste my music.
    Syncing only warns me I will replace the music on my ipod, WHICH I DONT WANT TO DO.
    Help please!

    There are a few programs out there that allow you to transfer your music from your iPod to your computer, but I believe you have to pay for most of them. Here is a link to a program I know of:
    http://www.digidna.net/tuneaid/
    There are other programs out there that will do the same thing, so I would start doing some searches on google and see what you find. I also found this article on Apple's website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
