Transfer Ipod music to computer?

I have an older Ipod touch with music that is not on my computer. How do i transfer the music from my ipod to my computer?

Hi, Corashowers
You can't transfer iPod music to computer directly. Because the music files is designed from computer to iPod one-way. Now all you need is an appropriate iPod Transfer.
You can check this guide: How to Transfer Music from iPod to Computer. Hope this detailed guide can provide enough information you need.

The password is for your iTunes account. Not for your old iPod. Enter your Email and password will give you access to all the music you bought from iTunes. If you forget it then I dont know how to help you there guess your SOL.

How do I transfer the music from computer to ipod

Just got ipod and have NO idea how to transfer the music from itunes and lime wire to my ipod? There are no promps to explain? Lime Wire is shown in the itunes library. I feel so stupid? Please help!

It is always better to transfer the music via iTunes, once you have music files showing in the library of the iTunes, connect your iPod with your computer, and a window will pop up and ask you to register your iPod with the iTunes, then just follow the instruction.

How to transfer iPod to second computer

I set up my iPod Touch on my laptop. I was able to tansfer my purchased music and videos onto my main computer, but what is the easiest way to transfer my complete music library (non-purchased) on my iPod to my iTunes library on my main computer?

This is what worked for me.
Okay, I have read on a lot of different threads that people want to know how to copy media from their iPod to their computer. Many have recommended YamiPod, but here is an alternative that is only for the Windows users.
1). Be sure Hidden Files and Folders are visible on your computer
- Open My Computer
- Tools>Folder Options
- Switch to the View Tab
- Be sure that Show Hidden Files and Folders is selected
For a mac, open terminal and type in:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
2). Connect Your iPod to the computer
3). Goto My Computer and open the iPod Disk Directory (F:, G:, etc.)
[on the desktop for mac]
4). Open iPod_Control
5). Copy the entire Music folder to your desktop
NOTE: This may take up to 2 hours or more depending on the number of files
6). Eject iPod
7). Right Click On the Music folder on desktop [ctrl+click for mac]
- Properties
- uncheck "Hidden"
- Apply to all subfolders and files
8). Open iTunes
9). Goto iTunes Preferences
10). Change your iTunes Library to the Music Folder on your Desktop by going to preferences > advanced > then click the change button on the general tab
11). Add the folder to your "new" Library
12). Check "Keep iTunes Library Folder Organized
13). Click OK
14). Close and restart iTunes
15). Switch your iTunes Library back to what it was before
16). Delete The Contents of the Library, being sure NOT to move files to Recycle Bin
17). Close iTunes
18). For Mac users, open terminal again and type:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
The Music Folder on your desktop now contains an organized directory of all media on your iPod!! I hope this tutorial helps out for those who wanted to know!

Problem transferring iPod music to Computer

My hard drive went out before I could back up the music I had collected on it.
My iPod Nano 2Gig still has some of my most listened to music.
I have researched the instructions regarding transferring music from iPod to Mac, but it does not work for me.
the instructions say to open the iPod, drag the iTunes folder out on to the desktop.
However, the iPod does not show an iTunes folder when opened.
It does show calendar, games etc, but not iTunes or any songs at all.
Any ideas or help?
Thanks!

*the iPod does not show an iTunes folder when opened*
The iPod folder is hidden so you need to either use a command line instruction to unhide it or a utility such as Tinker Tool. However 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 music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti which has already been mentioned above 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:

Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only

Can anyone tell me how to get Ipod music to computer when not in liberary

I dont want to loose the music I loaded on the ipod and
want to transfer all the music to another parties ipod. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

We have three ipods. One is my son's, one is my daughters and the other belongs to my husband. My husband put over 300 CD's on the ipod. He took it all off the Library and moved it directly to his Ipod as the computer did not have enough memory to keep it on ipod library. Now, the kids want his CD's on their ipods and we can not figure out how to move the CD's to it.
Can you help?

How do i transfer Ipod music to Touch

Hey,
I'm planning on buying a touch in the very near future, however, I need this answered. Is there a way to transfer the songs from my IPOD5G to my itunes or touch which will include the PLAYCOUNT? If that is possible, the purchase is pretty much made.

Hello G_homes,
Is there a way to transfer the songs from my IPOD5G to my itunes or touch which will include the PLAYCOUNT?
Have you not synced the 5G iPod to your computer lately? Doing so will transfer information such as playcounts back over to iTunes, unless you manually manage your iPod's contents, which in that case your iPod does not keep track of such information. From there, this kind of information will sync over to your new iPod Touch once you sync it with your library.

i have had to restore my computer due to virus i have lost all my itunes music when i put on 1 of my ipod's it wipes my ipod like my library how do i upload ipod music into itunes

Brendan,
These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)

Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)
iPodRip Software
PodUtil Software
XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
You need at least three sets of your music:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?
Here is a post on developing a backup strategy: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=394618&messageID=1263275

IPod music to computer

My sister just got a new laptop and wants to transfer the music from the PC to the laptop (more like wants me to do it) how would one go about doing this?
thanks

There are a few things you could do, from networking the two computers, using an external hard drive or even using your iPod to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip and Apple guide:
Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
Another way would be to take the music directly from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists 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 read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
