Transferring entire music library from ipod to second authorized computer

I am writing this for my wife. She has windows machines. It seems that she can only transfer purchased songs from her ipod, not songs that she burned to her ipod from cds she owns. How can one do this? She already authorized the second computer. She has a color screen ipod with 30 gb drive.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's 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, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • Restore entire music library from match

    How do I restore my entire music library from Match to my computer?  I had a system failure and have had to restore everything.  iTunes shows clouds next to songs; do I need to download each one individually?  I've tried and some download, and others do not and honestly this would be very tedious.

    To download more than one track at at time highlight the tracks you want to download, right-click and choose "download." However, this is not the most efficient way to restore an iTunes library. You should restore your personal data from the backups you make to an external HDD. You do make backups, don't you?

  • Transferring iTunes music library from a mac to a PC

    Hi
    Does anyone know how i can transfer all the songs on my mac iTunes to my new windows iTunes? I followed the instructions on the msn support website but these instructions must only be for transferring the iTunes library from a mac to a mac, or from a pc to another pc, and not from a mac to pc or vice versa.
    I`ve just bought a laptop to take to university and i want to bring my music library with me.
    When i loaded up my itunes from mac onto the pc it just keeps saying windows does not recognise the type of file. Is there a way of changing the settings so that windows will recognise and run a mac file?
    If anyone knows that'd be of great help

    The music files will transfer and play without a problem.
    You will need to download a Windows version of iTunes and the iPod Updater in order to use the PC. The Mac versions will not work.
    iPod Updater
    iTunes Download Page
    There may be some problem with the Windows version of iTunes reading the Mac's iTunes Library file. This may prevent you from completely moving over some of the music meta-data from the Mac to the PC.
    There have been some posts on this, but I'll need to search for them.
    Also see this for the transfer process: Buegie, "transfering music to another pc." #4, 11:22pm Oct 14, 2005 CDT
    EDIT: Based on an old post I had copied into my "iPod Hints" file, here is how one contributer gave a high-level process:
    i 1) copy the iTunes Music folder to your Windows machine, replacing the existing folder (back up the existing one first)
    i 2) copy the iTunes Music Library.xml file to your Windows machine, and change the name to e.g. iTunesMac.xml so iTunes won't write over it.
    i 3) delete any "iTunes Library.itl" file (back up the existing one)
    i 4) run iTunes, and do File > Import... and pick iTunesMac.xml
    Hope this helps.

  • Want to import entire music library from iTouch to new HP laptop

    I have an iPod iTouch with a music library of about 2500 songs and I have a new HP Pavillion DV6000 Entertainment notebook computer (which runs Vista). My original iTunes library is in my desktop (which runs XP). The iTunes n the desktop is the one the iPod is officially affiliated with. Apple policy states that an iPid can only be affilaited with one computer. I want to import the entire music library (not just songs purchased through iTunes store) from my iPod iTouch into the empty iTunes library on the new notebook. I've heard mention of iGadget, iRepo and IpodAccess but I don't know how to use these to get what I want. Can anybody give input or specific directions to help me?

  • Is there a way to import your entire music library from an iPod classic into iTunes on  my PC?  PC was wiped out and my iPod is the only complete library copy I have.

    My PC hard drive was wiped out and I am rebuilding my Windows 7 system.  The only complete library I have of my music is located on my iPod classic.  Is there a way to import the library from my iPod into a  new iTunes library on my PC?  I was told if I connect my iPod to the PC, ITunes will try to sync with the iPod and wipe out the library on the iPod.
