    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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?
      Windows XP  

    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..

  • 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. 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.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to tranfer songs from iPod to computer?

    Is it possible to tranfer songs from iPod to computer? I was just wondering if my iPod is an adequate back up device for my iTunes files.
      Windows XP  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The best option is to get an external harddrive for backup. Imagine if your iPod got stolen and your computer crashed. Or your iPod malfunctions when trying to recover music.

  • My Computer crashed-how do i put songs from iPod back onto computer?

    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.
    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.
    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.

  • I can't put songs from my other computer on my ipod

    I have 2 computers in my home (the family one and mine) and my computer I have downloaded like 80% of my itunes music from, but the cd-rom doesn't work for some reason. I want to get my cds on my ipod too (itunes doesn't have most of the music I have in cds, so I can't rebuy them... don't want to either. I'm low on money) and the family computer doesn't let me put my imported music on there. When I plug it in the family computer, it gives me an option to keep the songs on my ipod that I already have on there and erase all the stuff that are on my ipod and use only that computer to put stuff on my ipod. If I use the first one, I can't put stuff from the family computer on there. What do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!!!
    When the window comes saying "The ...iPod is synced with another iTunes library...do you want to..." Just hit cancel. Your iPod is now set to "manually manage movies and songs"
    Now you can drag and drop whatever songs you want onto your iPod. I would go ahead and set the setting on the other computer to "manually manage..." also in order for it not to erase the songs you put on there from the other computer.
    You can go to Devices>iPod>Settings There are four options toward the bottom of the page. One of those is "manually...." Check that box.

  • Syncing songs from ipod onto a mac?

    I recently lost all the music off my notebook because it crashed and I lost everything. I was just wondering, is there a way of putting songs from your ipod onto your notebook?

    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. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our 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
    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 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 iPod. However 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:

    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
    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.
