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 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:

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

  • Recovering missing tracks from back up copy

    Somewhere along the line I stuffed up & I now find that I have many more tracks loaded onto my iPOD than I have in my itunes library. I must have deleted them somehow when I was trying to update the album art by cutting & pasting. What I do have is a duplicate copy of my entire 'My Music' folder that I made a couple of months back.
    I'm pretty sure that I could set itunes to look for & import songs not in my current library. What I'm worried about is that I noticed that itunes is very poor when it comes to warning you about duplicate files. Is there some easy way to recover these files from the old backup without getting everything duplicated? I should point out that all the music came from my old CD's & isn't copy protected if that makes any difference.

    Here's what I would do.
    Go to your backup copy of your iTunes folder. Copy the missing file you notice per CD and put back in your main iTunes library (on your hard drive).
    Then open iTunes and click & drag the file over into iTunes... It will reindex it and then sync on next connection.
    Is that clear? To reitterate a different way
    1 - Find the backup file missing
    2 - Copy the music file back into your real itunes folder
    3 - Click & drag this file back over your iTunes window
    4 - let iTunes reindex
    5 - connect ipod

  • How to recover deleted files from iPod

    All the contents of my iTunes music folder were deleted. When I connected my iPod it was autosynced with the empty iTunes music folder and everything on the iPod got deleted too. (No warning, no undo.) Does anyone know of a utility proven to recover files deleted from an iPod in this way. Looking for something someone has actually tried with success. Have already tried a couple of scans of the ipod with google results.

  • IPod Full - How do I remove tracks from iPod to create space?

    The tracks in my iTunes has superseeded the size of my 20GB iPod.
    I need to leave some space on my iPod to back up important work files, therefore how do I remove selected tracks from my iPod to create the necessary space?
    Thx for your help.
    Matt.

    Any changes needed for your iPod will have to be made in iTunes. How about making a specific playlist in iTunes for your iPod of a specfic size which will allow for your work files, then in your iPod preferences tell iTunes to only sync iPod to that playlist? Welcome to discussions!

  • Tracks from ipod to pc

    Can anyone please help me, I recently had to have my pc returned to base due to a fault. Unfortunately when I receive my pc back it shall be reset back to the factory setting meaning that all my itunes shall be erased, but I still have all my tracks on my ipod.
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to move tracks from my ipod back to my pc??

    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    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.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.

    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 to delete tracks from iPod / Storage problem,

    I'm using iCloud to store music but keep getting a message " storage almost full". when I check icloud theres plenty of storage. I think it may the tracks on the iPod creating to problem. Have plugged ipod into iTunes and shows a " On this iPod" option, which has 404 tracks. I try to delete by selecting delete but does not work and looked at other suggestions e.g slide the track lesf to right which also fails. Any advise apprecaited. Phil GT

    - On the iPod if you swipe a song left or right a Delete buton should pop up. Tap it to dele the song.
    - You can delete all Music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music>Music> Edit in upper right and then Delete.
    - You said " I try to delete by selecting delete but does not work " just whee are you doing that?
    - Same for "slide the track lesf to right which also fails.".

  • Burning tracks from iPod Playlist

    Hi all,
    The time has come to get my 50Gb of music off my powerbook and keep my library entirely on my iPod Photo 60Gb.
    Before I make the leap I wanted to check if it's still possible to burn cds of playlists stored on your iPod? I can remember I used to be able to do this under older versions of iTunes but I cant find any mention of this feature now.
    Can anyone shed any light? Any help greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Drew

    You can't burn directly from your iPod. If the playlists are in iTunes you can burn them from there
