Retreving music from USB connected Windows XP drive to MacBook

Greetings,
I have a deceased motherboard Windows XP notebook. The drive that held my 20 gig iPod classic music base has been salvaged into a USB connectable external drive (It is Windows XP though). I want to retrieve selected songs from that drive into my MacBook.
I cannot run the iTunes from the Windows environment.
Thanks in advance,
Brian.

Mount the drive and navigate to /Documents and Settings/yourusername/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music.
Launch iTunes on your Mac and make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences. Then locate the tracks you want in the appropriate folder(s) on the PC's drive, and drag the tracks into iTunes' window. iTunes will copy them to the appropriate folders on your Mac's hard drive and add the tracks to the library.
Regards.

  • Can not get my Envy 15 3040nr to recognise my USB connected external hard drive

    Hi All,
    Have recently upgraded my HP Envy 15 3040 nr to Windows 8. All good except it wont recognise my USB connected external hard drive. At first I thought my USB port(s) might be faulty as it did recognise the drive a few weeks back but now it wont. Tried connecting other USB devices and they worked no problem.
    I have also recently upgraded the BIOS on my laptop and wonderd if this might be the root cause. All in all somewhat perplexed.
    Any ideas, suggestions greatly appreciated. 

    Hi
    In order to resolve the issue that I think that you  should uninstall the Universal Serial Bus controller in Device manger by uninstalling all options under the USB controller.
    Then restart the laptop and uninstall driver will be installed automatically.
    Tell me all findings that external harddrive is detected or not.

  • Can my ipod download music from both a windows and mac based computer.

    My son and I have new video ipods. He works on a Mac and I have a windows computer. He would like to load some music from my computer (windows) itune file onto his (Mac based) ipod. Can he do this? If so, how?

    Not sure what you are saying. You can install and activate on 2 systems, but generally standalone installs have platform-specific serials and can only be installed eitehr on Windows or Mac, not both. However, your description seems to indicate a TLP volume license, so that would be possible.

    My old MacBook was stolen and now I have all my music still on my IPad but like to get it back in my ITunes as well, is this possible ?

    If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, simply sign into your iTunes Store account on iTunes. From there, go to the main page of the store. Then, on the right, there should be a purchased button. Tap there, and walla! You can download all of your past purchases. If it wasn't from the iTunes Store, use a third party Mac app.

    Hello Sudhanshu Mishra,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can have iTunes reference the content where ever it is on your HDD without copying the content to the iTunes library, thus using twice the space.
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    From: Adding music and other content to iTunes
              http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473
    Additionally if you want the content to then ALSO be located in your iTunes Library folder so everything is all kept together nice and tidy, use this:
    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

    Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized and duplicated by turingtest2 in the document: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    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):

  • How to play music from iPod through Windows Media Player

    I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence .... but just in case anyone hasn't yet figured it out, here's how to play music from your iPod on a computer that does not have iTunes installed:
    On your computer, connect the iPod to iTunes and click on it's name. Then under the general tab, check "allow disk use". Your iPod will then act as a USB hard drive and will then show up as a drive in My Computer. Now all you need to do is to create a Music folder on it and then copy all your music to it!
    Your iPod's USB hard drive should show up under My Computer on most Windows computers. Therefore providing the computer has Windows Media Player installed, you will be able to play all your music on it! This saves you having to bother with portable/travel speakers, some of which sound terrible anyway!
