    Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows 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. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

  • How to transfer all songs from iPod to iTunes?

    Well guys,
    To make a long story short, I'm helping out a friend who just converted from a PC notebook to a Mac Pro. A sweet choice, I know...
    But he thought that he had backed up all of his music on an external but erased it thinking he had backed up his collection elsewhere. So now his collection of music is lost, except for that his songs are still on his iPod classic. It's not stored in disk mode, unfortunately. It's just synched up normally.
    There must be a way to put his songs on his new computer. We've scoured the forums and can't find much. Can you help, please?

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    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.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

    Hello everybody,
    I have a 3° generation ipad with ios 6. It's full (16 Gb) and now with itunes 11 I'm not able to transfer my apps (purchased and free version) from ipad to itunes.
    I don't wanna erase the apps from ipad. In itunes 10 this operation was easy to perform.

  • How do I get Itunes to separate my husbands device from mine? We have seperate accounts but when I want to transfer my apps from iphone to itunes (after logging in) itunes lists transfer device as my husbands

    I am getting a new iphone so I need to backup my apps to itune.
    Then after purchase I will load them on to iphone5
    My husband has a separate iphone separate Itunes/app accounts
    I upgraded itunes. Then logged on to my account. But when I start to file/devices to transfer - it lists his account not mine.
    Somehow itunes is associating my window log in with him and it lists our apps together (his/mine) under the library section/apps. I think I will end up with his apps and mine then he will end up with the same.
    Any ideas how to get the device transfer to list my account?

    Best option is to make each a user on the computer then it work as it should otherwise you  need to change appleid in itunes between phones being connected

  • How to transfer music library from iPod to iTunes to replace a failed hard drive on a Macbook Pro?

    My MacBook Pro hard drive failed and I was only able to save a few songs out of a library of over 5,000.  My iPod Classic, luckily has the entire library on it, BUT all I can find is how to update the iPod with the current iTunes library on my new and empty MacBook Pro.  How can I do a reverse update, from iPod back to the iTunes library on my computer?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Transfer all songs from iPod to iTunes?  Crash Recovery.

    Okay. My old PC blew up and I lost iTunes with everything in it. Fortunately, my iPod still has all my songs. So I bought a new PC, re-downloaded iTunes, and now I want to upload everything on my iPod into my new iTunes library. I can't figure out how! Tried "import" and "export" options, tried copying and pasting, etc. Nothing worked.
    Can anyone help with a step by step? The iPod is the ONLY place where my collection currently exists. Thanks very much.

    Erik,
    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…
    Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free user steps – music recovery only)
    MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)
    Copying music from iPod to computer (a primer on various methods and software)
    Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)
    iPodRip Software
    PodUtil Software
    XPlay (Software For Cross-Platform Functionality & Music Recovery)
    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
    -- One full set on an 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).

  • How to transfer all apps from iphone to itunes

    i had recentlu install fresh itunes and now how i can tranfer all data to my itune library...?

    Syncing is one way, computer to iTunes.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the computer to the new computer.
    Attempts to sync an iDevice to an empty library will wipe the content from the device and replace it with content from the new (blank) library.

  • How do I transfer apps from iPod to iPad 2?

    how do I transfer apps from iPod to iPad 2?

    If you want app data to transfer you have to restore the iPod from the backup of the iPod. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup. Also see:

    If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.

  • Trouble authorizing computer in iTunes and transferring apps from iPod

    Every time I select "Transfer Purchases from iPod" from the File menu, it tells me I can't because my MacBook isn't authorized for the iTunes store. I only have one other computer authorized - my desktop - and I've deauthorized and reauthorized the laptop several times, supposedly successfully, but I still can't transfer my apps from the iPod.
    I know that I can re-download apps to the laptop that I've previously purchased on the desktop or the iPod, but not only would that take a fair bit of time that I'd rather not spend (I have many pages of apps), but the couple times that I've tried it, I don't get the dialog box (offering to let me re-download for free the same apps that I've already bought) that it shows in the thread I found about the procedure.
    So what do I do now?
    TIA.

    You can only sync to one iTunes Library/one computerbut you can manage music among different computers.  See:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    The only way to sync app from the desktop computer is to make that the syncing computer.  You can't sync app from more than one iTunes Library/one computer.
    To make the desktop computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - get all apps and other item on the desktop computer
    - Authorize the computer for the iTunes accounts inquestion
    - Connect the iPod to the desktop computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
