Transfering Music from the ipod to the computer

thank You

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 will depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
I can't vouch that any of them will work with iTunes version 7.

  • Transfering music from an iPod to a computer and more

    All of the music that I have on my computer, I have transfered to my iPod Video. I am going to reboot my computer, which includes deleting all of the music. I would love to have it on my computer though, so I wonder if it's possible for me to "extract" the music from my iPod and put it on my computer hard drive.
    I also wonder how I should do so that iTunes doesn't update my iPod when the iTunes library is empty. That would mean that iTunes would delete all of the music from my iPod. I know that I can modify the settings so that I must update my iPod manually, but to change the settings I must connect my iPod, and if I do, the empty iTunes starts deleteing the music of the iPod. Well, you get the picture. I need to modify the settings without connecting my iPod. Or is there a way to abort the update before iTunes has begun deleting my music? Anyway, please help me!

    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.

  • Transferring music from my ipod to new computer

    I have a new computer and no longer have my old computer. Can you tell me please how I transfer my library of songs from my ipod to the new computer?

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay:

  • Transfering music from an ipod to my computer

    ive had an ipod video for a year now. my friend lent me his ipod nano because i have a bunch of music on my computer that he wants on his ipod. the problem is i cant sync his ipod otherwise it will get rid of all the music that is on it already and replace it with mine.
    what should i do?

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD 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 music files and playlists from your iPod.

    How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.

  • What is the name of the $20 program that has a red itunes icon that transfers music from your ipod to itunes?

    I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
    If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
    If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

  • Transfering music from your ipod shuffle to your computer

    I AM STUCK!!
    My grandpa is so eager to make me get this done, so i would like a response sometime today.
    How do you transfer music from your ipod to your computer?
    I gave my grandpa an ipod shuffle for his birthday and we got all the songs that are now on his ipod are from my itunes account.
    WE BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT MUSIC!!
    all i am trying to do is change the format of my music to mp3 so he will be able to play his music in his car.
    i have went into prefrences, import settings, blaa blaa. Then when i right clicked on my music thats in "on this ipod" it only had 3 options.
    is there either an easy way to change the format without syncing music onto my computer or how do you sync the music from your ipod to your computer?

    When you purchase music, you do not purchase the right to distribute that music to others.
    This is illegal.

    Hi

    Thanks

    And now a second newbie question. I have downloaded the additional content and booted up logic for the first time, but the apple loops have not installed and logic is asking me to reinstall the apple loops. But how do I do that? I can see they are in the libray so have downloaded.
    Thanks

  • Question about moving music from an iPod to your computer.

    In my household, we have iTunes on three different computers. My mother downloaded music on my brother's computer, and it's on his library. We want to burn a cd with the purchased album, but his computer does not have a cd burner, but the other two do. Is there a way to move music from one computer to another, or possibly moving music from an iPod to a computer's library?

    Music is synced to iphone from itunes.
    Plug in iphone and select whatever you like to sync from itunes to iphone.
