Transfer music files from ipod to laptop

After a nasty virus attack I have had to re-install all the software on my laptop including itunes. Now I need to copy the music files on my iPod back to itunes. I understand that if I just sync the two I'll wipe the iPod because itunes is empty. So, the right way is .... ?? Thanks

Hello there,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

HT1329 Transfer music & playlist from ipod to computer

My ipod does not work. Dropped in water. When I opened the itunes program I discovered that the device is recognized. The itunes library for some reason does not show my music that was previously downloaded and the playlists that I created. I also loaded some music from CDs that I own. Is there some way to copy the music and playlists from the ipod to the computer so that I can import it to a new ipod?

this is a user to user forum. ur post WILL NOT BE READ BY APPLE. if u want to send feedback to apple u need to go here for that.

Hi, I have shot few pictures on 31st December night in RAW mode using Nikon D800 and Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card.

Transfer Music files from 3GEN to 5GEN iPod

I have a 3rd generation iPod I've had for a while. And I was thinking about getting a 5th GEN or whatever might come out in the future, to upgrade.
But I really wanted to know if there is anyway I can transfer my music files from my current iPod onto a new one, if I buy one? I don't want to lose all my music that I bought (which I no longer have on my harddrive b/c of low disk space) and not be able to put it on a new iPod.

You would need to transfer the music on your old iPod back to the computer, and from there use iTunes to transfer it to the new iPod.
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method. 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.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.

New IPOD NANO (5th Generation) - Copying music files from IPOD to ITUNES

Help!
I managed to sync all of my music files from my ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer and I also managed to sync one album to my IPOD NANO from my old G4 Tower Apple computer's ITUNES. Now I would like to copy that one album from my IPOD NANO to my current ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer. Do I sync in the manual mode option?

Happy New Years!

Now I would like to copy that one album from my IPOD NANO to my current ITUNES on my new IMAC Apple computer.
You can't use iTunes to transfer music from iPod to computer unless that music was purchased from the iTunes store.
If so, see: How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Try iPodDisk. This is a program designed to transfer music from iPod to computer.
Similar programs are Expod, Yamipod, Senuti and Music Rescue.

How to transfer music files from sonic stage to a hard drive

Hi all
I need your help, I am pulling my hair out here for the past 3 weeks. I purchased a hard drive from Apple and I want to transfer all my music files from Sonic stage which in on my old Fitjitsu laptop.
I then want to transfer the music from the hard drive to iTunes to my new mac airbook
Any help is appreciated at this present time I am hating Apple product big time. Maybe it will restore once I am guided at present Apple customer services who sold me the product initially couldn't help me.
Cheers

I am guessing this Fitjutsu laptop is running Windows which uses NTFS format drives. If you bought a hard drive from Apple it is probably formatted for Mac use. Anyway, I don't know why you are blaming Apple. Hard drives come in one of the other format and you need one that works with both. Sales people at many kinds of stores rarely know much about things they sell outside of immediate application. They are trained in the things they sell but are not technically minded. If you had bought the drive anywhere else you would be like the 2 questions I answered yesterday where people got the music onto the NTFS drive but didn't know why it wouldn't work with the Mac.
You haven't told us much about the Fitjutsu laptop. You may be able to use Migration Assistant to transfer the entire contents to the Mac. This will set up a separate user account with the content.
About Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - Learn about how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate your files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
If you need/want to use a drive to get the music off the other computer you will need a drive with either NTFS format or FAT32 (MS-DOS) format. With NTFS format the Mac can read but not write to the drive. You can use it for transferring the files but it will have to be re-formatted back to Mac format for use with the Mac. Alternatively you can reformat your Mac drive to FAT32 (MS-DOS) format using Disk Utility. Macs can both read and write to this format but is isn't really a a Mac format (Macs can't repair a FAT drive) so eventually you may wish to reformat it too back to Mac format. Formatting a drive erases all content so once you get the content onto your Mac you will have to store it there temporarily when you format the drive back to Mac format.
I know this is sounding complicated but Apple's answer to transferring PC content is Migration Assistant. If you don't want to do that then yes, you are entering the realm where there is fiddly hands-on things to do.
If this is a brand new Mac you may still be in the 90 day period where you can get free help at an Apple Store from the "Genius" bar. I'm guessing, however, this won't extend to their formatting and reformatting a drive and transferring select content.

Transfer music files from Nano to iTunes/hard drive ...

I hope someone can help me ... my hard drive crashed recently so I lost all of my music files that were on iTunes because I did not back them up (smart, huh?). Fortunently, I do have most of my music on my Nano. I am trying to transfer all of the music files from the Nano to iTunes. I tried dragging the files, but that doesn't work. Does anyone know of another technique to use in order to accomplish this? Any help will be appreciated :)

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. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward..
