There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • MISSING ITUNES SONGS AND HOW CAN YOU PUT SONGS FROM IPOD ONTO ITUNES?

    i opened my itunes one day and all 654 of my songs were GONE. the entire itunes was blank, as if it was newly installed. it wasn't.
    I have an ipod mini, and that still contains the songs since i did not attach my ipod to my computer when i saw that it was empty. my ipod still has 654 songs. But the problem is, that i wont be able to put new songs if my itunes is blank.
    How do you transfer songs from the ipod to the itunes? Usually when you connect the ipod, it automatically updates, so how will i be able to do that. I have new CDs and i want to put some of those songs on my ipod, but i wont be able to do that if my itunes makes my ipod blank. I called apple support but it costs 29 freaking dollars to help me.
    Can anyone help?

    okay, well it has been a long time since i have done this, but i will try to do it to the best of my memory.
    uninstall itunes.
    then reinstall it.
    plug your ipod in.
    a box will pop up that says something like would you like to connect your ipod to this library?
    click NO.
    then, on the sidebar there should be a boldfaced DEVICE sign.
    your ipod should show up.
    go to summary
    then check managely manage my music, and then update.
    this means that when you plug your ipod in, you will have to put the music in yourself. this is good because you can pick and choose, and you can delete songs off your ipod if you do not like it anymore. also, you have the ability to play the music on your computer when your ipod is plugged in. hope that helps..

  • Can't put songs from iPod onto new computer

    I just purchased a new computer, and would like to upload my music files from my iPod onto it. My computer recognizes the iPod, but won't let me copy songs to my computer. Does anyone know how I can do this?

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music 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 files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Putting songs from iPod onto Mac

    I had to do it once on my PC, but how do I transfer all my songs from my iPod onto my Mac? I remember something about plugging in the iPod and pressing/holding something so that it didnt update. Hmm. Help please!

    you can enable disc mode on your ipod, by, after plugging in the iPod and iTunes recognizes it, going into preferences->iPod->general, there's a box you can check, and then you drag your itunes folder containing all your songs from one computer on to your ipod (which should have shown up as a drive in "my computer") after it's done transferring, eject the ipod, connect it to the computer you want your library on, drag the itunes folder to that computer, and then import them all to your itunes there.
    or you can go to versiontracker.com or i guess google and search for "senuti" it's a good program. It doesn't do playlists but you can export your playlists on the old itunes as "song lists" transfer them to the new itunes and import them. It'll put your playlists together.

  • HT4527 How do I transfer songs from ipod to computer / itunes account?

    I have a bunch of music on an old external HDD so I can get away from all those CDs, but recently I have changed computers and now a bunch of my songs show up as 'unable to locate'.  I want to manually manage my ipod and get the songs I have on it now in my new computer / itunes account.
    HELP!

    I have exactly the same problem and have no idea how to do it. I am too scared to try random things in case I lose all 800 of my songs on my iPod!!!
    I don't really know how these posts work so I'm assuming that someone will (hopefully) post the answer on here so that I can find out how to transfer my iPod songs to the library.
    Please help,

  • Putting Songs From iPod onto New Macbook Pro

    I am trying to put the approximately 75 gb of music that is on my ipod onto my new Macbook Pro. My Powerbook died unexpectedly and took all my music with it. So now all I have is my little external hd, aka ipod. I've looked online for help with confusing and unsuccessful suggestions for taking music from an ipod and putting it onto a computer. Any help?
    Thanks.

  • Trying to put songs from ipod back in itunes.

    Hello. So I saw a topic on this but can't find it. Somebody talked about a web application that would allow you to put the songs on your ipod back into itunes. Basically I'm retiring my ipod now that I have an iphone and want to get the songs from my ipod into itunes so I can put them on my iphone. Any help would be great!
    Happy holidays.
    -M

    Hey guys. I used this page (below) and it worked perfectly. Just keep in mind that it won't notify you of duplicate tracks so if it is already in itunes and you put your ipod back on you could have two of the same tracks. Otherwise it worked great and was easy with no third party software.

  • Get songs from ipod onto computer

    their are certain songs that i dont have on my new computer but i have them on my ipod how do i get them onto my new cpu

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases and you are using iTunes 7 you don't need any additional software. 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.

  • Transfering songs from iPod onto computer.

    Hi all,
    I had a problem with Windows and lost all my music files. However, I did have my iPod up to date with all my songs. Does anyone knw how I can transfer them over?
    Thanks for looking!

    I'm not sure what you mean about the second method.
    Here is another link you could check out: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/11/72132
    I have never had to do this myself; I've just read about it in these forums. If I don't end up giving you the answer, there are several knowledgeable people who are in and out of this forum, and hopefully they can offer more.

  • Transfering songs from ipod to computer

    When transferring songs onto my laptop from my Ipod, one song gets hung and stops the whole transfer. Does anyone know what to do?

    You need to sign in to itunes, click the Store tab at the top and click "authorize this computer". now try transfering purchases.

  • How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(7 and using VISTA).

    How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(i'm using iTunes7 and Vista).
    I don't have the disc, cause i can't find it. But my computer downloaded the ipod, it just cant find the files?
    i've been looking through the topics for the past hour and none of them helped. Maybe i'm stupid i dont really know, but i've restored my old computer a couple times and i found a post and it helped both times. now i can't find it anymore.
    THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEEING AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME ONE BIT:
    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. 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
    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.

    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
    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.
    Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

    Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
    Copy from iPod to PC
    It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
    You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

    If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.

    However this is not allowed for other music.
    This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:

    Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

    I accidently put my brothers ipod onto my itunes! Now everything that he buys goes onto my ipod too. Wat do i do to get them seperate?

    Sounds like the device was restored with a backup for your device.
    To rectify, plug the device into the computer it normally syncs with and restore.
