Transfering music from my ipod to my new computer
I have a new computer. I gave my old one to my grandson. I deleted everything from the old computer including my itunes. I tried to transfer the music from my ipod onto itunes in my new computer, but it won't transfer unless the music is from the itunes store. Most of my music is from cd's. If I try to sync it will delete everything from my ipod. It shouldn't be this difficult. How do I transfer my music into itunes?
I have to admit I've never actually tried it, but I think it can be done. If you go into Preferences and click the devices tab, there's an option to prevent devices from syncing automatically. If you check that before connecting your ipod, it won't delete the files. Then when you connect your ipod, select the option to enable the disk as a hard drive. After that, you should probably be able to access the ipod through my computer and copy the files over to your computer.

I transfered music from my ipod to a new itunes library (new PC). The music plays in itunes but when I sync my ipod and try to drag songs from the itunes library to the ipod it wont load. It shows a circle with aline through it.
Have you selected manually manage music?

I have just bought a new computer and i am transfering my music from my ipod onto my new computer, I have put the files from the music option from my ipod onto my computer. alot of the songs have come across, however there is alot of songs that havent. I have noticed that the m4a files come across but the mp3 does not. the new computer has windows 8 on it, which is very new to me. when i try and play the mp3 files, it will open them up in a different programme and will not open in itunes. does anyone know what i can do?!?!!?!?!

My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.
Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content

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 and iDump andiPodRobot.
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.
More information is contained here.

My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library and music. The music is however on my iPod 5th Generation. How do I move my music to my husbands computer, where he has his own music....or how do I transfer or add my music from my iPod to my iPad?
I also lost all my gift card money on my iTunes account. Can I add my iTunes account to a computer that already has an iTunes account?I have read this, but it does not help. My crashed computer had my iTunes library with MY iTunes ID. The new computer and iPad that i want to transfer my music to, that is on my iPod, is under a different iTunes account. Can I still transfer my music from my iPod to a new computer that has a different ID?

I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up: Calendars, Contacts and Notes. I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer! WHY?!?
When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
HELP, please. I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
Thanks in advance...

I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync. How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer. The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.
One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. -
How do I transfer music from my ipod to a new computer?
I need to move all the music from my ipod to a new computer so I can put it in iTunes?
The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.
If neither of the above are doable, and you have a PC, use this:

My old computer crashed and I had to get a new one. I was unable to save anything from the old computer. Is there anyway to get my music from my Ipod to my new computer without having to start over with the old cd's again
Hello cheech07,
The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.
