Transfering Library Data File from iPod

Lost my computer to a backdoor trojan horse yesterday.
My Music is on an external harddrive, so no worries there. I saved an old library data file from 2 months ago, but have changed many things since then. Is there anyway to get the library data file on the iPod and transfer it to iTunes?
I have the library from 2months ago on iTunes, and have the iPod set up on manual mode for the moment. the iPod had the new iTunes 7 version on it.
Thanks for any help out there.

Hopefully I made sense in my post. No one knows a way to do this?

  • Unable to delete data files from my Ipod if used as data storage...

    Hello everybody
    I bought months ago an Ipod Nano 8GB. I've got an issue when i use it as disk storage i'm not able to sort out. I've checked all the topics but i cannot find any solution.
    Example: I use the Ipod with the option "Manually manage music and videos". I put audio and video files on my Ipod through Itunes, then i put also some files on my Ipod as normal data files through my Mac Finder (Easy, i drag VLC, JPG files etc. from folders to my Ipod). The Ipod/Itunes summary page shows (Correctly) the capacity column colored in blue (Audio), video (Purple) and orange (Data). No probs when i transfer data files to another computer.
    Problem: when i delete the data files from my Ipod (Through finder) the orange column doesn't disappear (I have no problems if i delete audio/video files via Itunes) and although i've actually deleted all the files if i try to add some other data or videos/music files to my Ipod, Itunes says that there is no space available in my device. It's very strange, i check and double check all the options but eventually i have to restore my Ipod all the times and (Pretty annoying) add all my files again.
    It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
    It'd be great if someone can help me out as it's very important for me to be able to use my Ipod as disk storage, thanks a lot!

    It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
    Empty it from the Finder menu or by control-clicking it in the Dock.

  • Transferring data files from OS9.1 to OSX(10.4.7

    I've done a lot of reading this evening and I am still unclear about transferring info from OS9.1 to OSX(10.4.7). Programs are not transferrable, but data files were not addressed directly. The platforms are the issue. My understanding is that Office:Mac 2004 and Quicken 2007 will translate data files from AppleWorks6 and Quicken 2000. I have data files on my iMacOS9.1, also backed up on an Acomdata external harddrive. Is there anything, or way, that I can get these files transferred to my new iMac20"(10.4.7)machine? From what I'm reading, FireWire target disk mode holds some faint hope. I'm concerned that if I access the external harddrive, it may require a re-initializing, even though it was originally partitioned to receive both PC and Apple OS files.

    Continuing trial and error. My old Imation Floppy Drive worked well to transfer Quicken files across from OS9.1 to OSX(10.4.7). The new iMac apparently had the necessary driver, because everything came to life when I hooked into the USB2.0 port. At 1.4m it's slow. Probably the same success can be accomplished by CD's and probably the same with the Fire Wire Target Disk Mode, if you are careful about the material you try to transfer. In the case of Quicken, when the file was transferred, a dialog box came up giving a recommended procedure to follow. Easy!

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: 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 do I move data files from old iPhone? Specifically, the password files for the App mSecure from my old iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4S?

    How do I move data files for mSecure (a password saver app) from old iPhone 3GS to new iPhone 4S?

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

  • Transfering library DATA to new MBP- Help!

    Hi Folks,
    For the last few years I've been using a PC, with all my music on the internal hard drive, and external hard drive on which I backed all the music up onto incase the PC went belly up. My itunes library always accessed the files on the C drive.
    Now I have a shiny new MBP and I want to add the music on the external hard drive (which seems to be read-only when connected to the MBP, any idea's why?) to my itunes library, but I want to retain all the information from my original library on my PC's C drive (particularly as I only have about half the songs "checked" for syncing with my ipod, more on which in a sec!).
    So I copied the itunes library data files onto the new MBP, but as I expected, when it loaded up the info (with the external hard drive connected) the original library mapped all the songs to the C drive, leaving the grey ! mark next to all the songs. And if I add all the files to itunes by dragging the folder from the external hard drive into the itunes window, then I'm left with a duplicate of every song, of course without any corresponding data (e.g. checked, last played).
    Thus the question is, how do I import the songs on my external hard drive into the library, as well as all the library information from my PC? (and also, why is the external harddrive read only?)
    This is my first Mac, so please be gentle!
    Much appreciated,
    Daniel

    Not sure I am sending to the right person, but I want to back up my library/songs, video to an external hard drive. the back up process in iTunes seems to only want to back up to a disk. I'm sure I could drag and drop from itunes to the external hd, but is there a better way?
    finally, looking for a process to follow when adding new music to itunes and copying to the external hd.
    any assistance would be appreciated.

  • I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

    I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

    It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Copying only data files from old MacPro?

    I have a 500GB drive from an older Macpro that I want to copy files from to get them onto a new iMac SSD. I only want to copy the data files, no applications, preferences, Library files, etc.
    The Macpro no longer boots, though I have a hard drive docking station that I can put the drive into so I can connect it to the new iMac.
    1. What is the best way to copy just the data files from the old drive to the new iMac?
    2. How reliable is this? Is there any chance that it will not copy some of the files over?
    Thanks!

    I just want to make sure that I'm not missing any files. After I drag them over I can put them into the trash so I know they were copied over. Any other tips for doing this? Is there a way to search for all files on the Mac to ensure that there are none that I might miss?
    Thanks.

  • How do i move a data file from my pc to my ipad

    How do I move a data file from my computer to my ipad? It is my product catalogue and it would help if it were on my ipad.

    Plug the iPad into iTunes and you can use file sharing to move it into an app that supports file sharing and that document format.
    see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    Or, use an online storage service (iCloud, dropbox, box, google drive, sugarsync, etc) and upload the file to that.  Then on the iPad, from within the app you plan to use the file with, link to that service and download the file.
    The app will again have to work with that file type, and support the particular service you used.

  • Using Migration Assistant to Move Data Files from one Account to New User

    Is it possible or recommended to use Migration Assistant to move data files from an old user account to a new user account on the same volume/hard disk?

    Migration Assitant cannot be used as a simple file transfer utility. MA can transfer an entire Home folder or entire Users folder but not individual files.
    In general files in one user account cannot be moved to another user account as this would violate built-in security measures.
    What you can do is to copy the files to an external device like a hard drive or flash drive. First log in to the old account. Then configure the drive to ignore preferences by Pressing COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and check the Ignore permissions on this volume checkbox at the bottom of the window. Copy your files to the device. Log into the new account. Verify the external drive is still configured to ignore permissions (reset it, if not.) Copy the files from the external device into the Home folder of the new account. I would create a temporary folder for these files. If you still end up without the proper permissions you will need to make modifications that are easier done if all the files are in a single folder.
