Transfer music from an ipod to a macbook

My brother died recently and I now have his iPod.  Is there a way that I can safely transfer his music to my itunes.  His iPod is older and I am worried that I will lose his music.

All content should reside in iTunes as an iPod is not a storage device. Yes, only purchases will be transferred. If you need to get the other songs off via 3rd party software.

    I just upgraded my macbook pro and I need to transfer my itunes from my old macbook pro to my new macbook pro. Can someone help me transfer my music from one computer to another?

    From your OLD computer...

    Does the old hard drive still work? You can buy an external hard drive case and transfer data to your new Macbook Pro and recover your itunes libary. As far as i'm aware, Apple have not created software or allow you to move music from ipod to Mac.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my computer which was not purchased on iTunes?

    I just downloaded iTunes Match to my MacBook Air. Now, how do I transfer music from my iPod to my Mac which I did not purchase on iTunes? When I downloaded iTunes Match, it did its thing, but none of the music that I burned from CDs showed up on my Mac. Is there something else I should do? (I still have my old computer with my entire iTunes library on it, but I haven't used in in a while. Should I do something with that, as well?)
    Thanks!

    True. My mistake. I didn't see it.

    I'm actually currently serving in the Peace Corps in the Eastern European country of the Republic of Georgia, so I'm not always able to get back to posts as quickly as I would like. So I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out by searching the support communities. But as I tell my students (who are learning English as a second language) pronouncing and using words correctly is important to them being understood by native English speakers. The same goes for technology terms. If the correct terms aren't used (for example "import" and "rip") then misunderstandings can occur and it can take longer to get your problem solved.

  • How can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air?

    hi, how can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air? thanks.

    Try this.
    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.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

    how do i transfer music from one ipod to another using itunes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There is more than one way, but to get it all on all devices, connect the first device to iTunes and choose to transfer the music from the device from the file menu. Once everything is in iTunes connect the second device, select the device in the device list, navigate to the music tab and check the content you wish to sync, click apply/sync.

  • Can i transfer music from my ipod to my mac

    Can I transfer music from my ipod back to my mac

    If you bought music, videos, etc. using the store on your iPod, iTunes will offer to sync your purchases back to your Mac the next time you sync. There's info about that here.
    If your iPod was synced to another computer previously, and that's how your current music got on your iPod, I think you need to use non-Apple utility software to transfer the content off of your iPod. I don't think we're supposed to talk about those here because the official transfer method as far as Apple is concerned is iTunes. And with iTunes, music is supposed to go in one direction, from the Mac to the iPod, unless you bought it on the iPod. This is to prevent people from using iPods to copy music to everybody else's computer.

  • Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?

    Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?

    Yeah! Click on your iPod when it shows up under "Devices" on the left side of iTunes while plugged in. Click on the music tab at the top and select "Manually Manage songs and playlists". Then click the arrow next to you iPod on under "Devices" and it will drop down "Music" "Videos" etc under it. Go to "Music" and select all your songs and drag them to the iTunes "Music" tab. They should copy over. Then you can go back and enable autosync.

  • Can i transfer music from my ipod to someone elses itunes account?

    Can i transfer music from my ipod to someone elses itunes account??

    CD's you can give to them to rip to their own iTunes.  If you do that, legally you are supposed to delete any copies you may have in your posession as you no longer own the content.
    For iTunes purchases, they are permanently tied to the account they were purchased with. 
    You can always gift the content via iTunes to your friend, purchase and give them CD's, or let them buy their own copies.

  • Can I transfer music from one Ipod touch to a newer generation Ipod touch?

    Can I transfer music from one IPod Touch to a newer generation IPod Touch?

    - No directly.  You have to first get the music in your itunes library on your computer and then sync the music to the new computer.
    - You can/should restore you new iPod from the backup of your old iPod to get app date and other things on the new iPod.  You will have to reenter passwords since passwords only get restore to the same device. The backup does not contain music so that has to be synced.
    - You can transfer iTunes purchased from an iPod to your computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - The follow discussion discusses third-party programs to transfer non-iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
