Re-load Library or Tranfer from iPod?

My computer crashed and I had to install a new hard drive and reload all my programs. I have all my songs on my iPod but I don't know how to get them back into my iTunes library. Can someone help me?

There's an answer to your question but first it's time for a little lecture. (If it makes you feel any better, I don't like this any more than you do.)
I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in this post:

Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Loading library.swf (unpacked from swc) using loader() and using it's assets

I try to load libary.swf from an swc file in order to use it's library items.
i load the library.swf using urlrequest and loader() and then use getDefinition() to fetch the class definition
of the UIMovieclip element.
i simply created the swc file by adding library assets to an swf file, converting them to a flex component and extending each compoent with the UIMovieClip class.
when i load the swf file from a url (http) i get the following error:
VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of UIMovieClip in mx.flash.UIMovieClip.
when i load the file locally, i get no error. any ideas why?

hello,
thanks for trying to help.
if this is the case, why it happens only when i load the library.swf file from an http location instead of a local location ?
how can i make sure that my adobe flash has the same UIMovieClip version?

Transfering Library Data File from iPod

Lost my computer to a backdoor trojan horse yesterday.
My Music is on an external harddrive, so no worries there. I saved an old library data file from 2 months ago, but have changed many things since then. Is there anyway to get the library data file on the iPod and transfer it to iTunes?
I have the library from 2months ago on iTunes, and have the iPod set up on manual mode for the moment. the iPod had the new iTunes 7 version on it.
Thanks for any help out there.

Hopefully I made sense in my post. No one knows a way to do this?

Tranfer from iPod to computer

I recently received a new laptop, and wanted to use it for my Pod as opposed to my slow, old desktop.
I manually transferred the songs (copy + pasted from iPod to music folder on the C drive), but now I can't play them.
Whenever I attempt to play a song, it just gives me the error message: "The song could not be used because the file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
My friend experienced a similar problem a few months ago, but I don't know how he solved it.
Anyone care to help out?

There are a few different ways you can do this, including the first method laid out in this post.
The most straighforward method in copying your iPod's songs to your computer, however, might be to download a third-party program that can do this for you.
For example, if you are on a Windows computer, you can use YamiPod (I find it a fairly easy program to figure out and use with both of my iPods).
As a note, you will have to have iTunes closed when you run this program, though.
I hope that helps!

Computer crashed- all new now. How to bring library and playlists from Ipod

My PC crashed and was pronounced DOA. All library and playlists were and still are on Ipod Classic (20GB). Obviously wasn't able to follow directions for normal transfer of lib. and p.lists as event not planned. Built completely new PC and loaded up Itunes. I had all my music library backed up on an external and can load, but is there any way I can save my 50 meticulously created playlists back into Itunes? Please say "Yes"!

Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
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.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.

Hard drive crash- cannot load burned cd's from ipod onto desktop

I recently had a HD crash. replaced HD, downloaded Itunes. synced with Ipod, but only the "purchased music" was loaded onto the new desktop hd. I have hundreds of songs and audio books which I have burned from cd"s to itunes, How do I get Itunes to reload these cds/audio books to my desktop HD from the Ipod?

When you backed up/copied the photos to the iPod did you select the option to use the full sized files? Have you posted this question in the iPod forum? Do so as there will be more avid iPod users there and surely will have an answer. I vaguely remember reading discussions about applications that can copy audio tracks back to the HD and possibly the image files.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Loading library onto second video ipod using one computer

I got my son a video ipod and have been successful loading most of my library onto his ipod (which has been recognized by the computer), However, several of the songs are not transferring to his ipod. We have successfully transferred about 512 songs out of 624.
Is there anyhting I should do differently?
Thank you !

Did u set it so it updates songs from the library automaticly or manually? If u made it autmatic did it say that some files could not be imported in the beginning of the update? if u cant figure it out try right clicking the songs and select copy, then paste them into your ipod

Loading library movie symbol from external swf

Hi, I have a Flex/Air Application and I want this application
to load in an external SWF and display a particular asset from the
SWF library (just like attachMovie in AS2). I dont want to embed
the SWF into the Air application. For the life of me I can't find
any tangible info on how to do this. My second problem is that the
assets sit in an SWF published for AS2 (is that an issue?). All
content resides locally.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

I see now how to import and display a library class object
using:
var MovieClipClass:Class =
Class(loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("myLibraryAsset"))
var movieClip:Sprite = new MovieClipClass();
addChild(movieClip)
But this seems to only work for SWF's published for AS3 Flash
Player 9.
I need to do the same for SWF's published with AS2 Flash
Player 7.
Any ideas?

Library file export from iPod?

I seem to have lost my most recent iTunes library file. I still have all of my music files etc. but the most recent library file that I can find and am now using is from a few months back so a lot of my playlists and recent music additions are no longer there. However, my iPod (60GB Classic) is as I want it. So, is there a way of exporting a library file from it back to iTunes?

Hi Darwinboy,
ilounge.com has an excellent (and recently posted) article on recovering music/playlists, etc... off your ipod back onto your computer.
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/ask-ilounge-7-4-08/
I'm not a tech head, so can't really help out - I can only suggest resources I've used in the past! I notice on ilounge.com it doesn't even mention ipodrip anymore - but looks like there are plenty of sophisticated alternatives.
Good hunting!

Items Listed In Library, But Missing From iPod/Hard Drive of Computer

I recently had my latest disaster with iTunes wiping out the content of my iPod. I hooked up the iPod to the computer to charge and to add on a few more items. When it updated, it started from scratch and updated some 1700 items or so directly from my computer hard drive into the iPod, as if they had never been on the iPod in the first place. Further, there are still something like 2000 more items that were on the iPod before this, but now are missing from its list. These items are songs that are no longer on my computer's hard drive. These items are still listed in the iTunes library, however.
What do I do to get these items accessible again on the iPod itself? Whatever I have tried so far with updating does not do anything but have the iPod/iTunes deal with the items that are still on my hard drive of the computer. How can I get the full listing of 3700 items to play on the iPod again? Or do I have to start from scratch (this will be the third time I will have to do this if so) and reload all those hundreds of CDs back into the iPod manually?
Thank you for any advice you may be able to provide!

Were any of those exception edited with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements? If so and you can identify them, download the "Embed sRGB Profile" application from Toad's Cellar, unzip it and place on the desktop. Then take those files and drop onto the application. After the profile is embedded in the files try importing them again.

Can I access my Itunes Library from my brother's computer via the internet so I can download my Library to his new IPod? Thanks!

The songs that you want to sync need to be on the "local" storage of the computer being used to sync the iPod.
