Transferring music to an iPod without encrypting

Hi everyone,
I have an iPod touch that is set up on my work laptop (my only computer) and used to be able to transfer music from iTunes very easily. Recently, my work installed an encryption software that wants to encrypt every external device that connects to the laptop. I said that I did not want to encrypt my iPod when I connected it but when I tried to transfer music, I was given a message that my iPod was only allowed in a read-only mode since it was not encrypted with the software. Is there any way around this encryption software that will allow me to transfer the music that I have stored on the laptop? Thanks.

I know of no way but I know nothing about the system/program your company is using. you will have to talk to the company's IT staff.

    Have you selected manually manage music?

  • Is there a way to put a large amount of music on your iPod without having to keep all the files in iTunes on your computer as well? I want to put my entire music collection (including cds) on my iPod but don't want to take up the space on my computer.

    is there a way to put a large amount of music on the ipod without having to keep all the files on itunes as well? I want to use my ipod as an externa drive and put all of my music on it without taking up the space on my computer. I also don't want to lose all my files everytime I plug ipod into my computer. Is this possible? Is there a way to avoid using itunes and only use the ipod as an external drive?

    You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
    It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
    A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
    You still need a backup of that Library.
    Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

  • I cant load music onto my ipod without it all locking

    how do i put music on my ipod without a little padlock sign coming u next to the information at the bottom?

    hmmm idk. i checked for an update but it said that the version i have was the latest version. i got my ipod in the last week of december/first week in january. i opened up itunes a minute ago and it said a new update was available, which i downloaded. now it says i can put photos onto it, but then that error message on itunes pops up saying 'The iPod could not be updated. THe disk could not be read from or written to.'Would it have anything to do with another error message that i get, ever since the first time i plugged it in, reading 'Failed to locate supported file types or there are no photos found on this device'. That one i havent seen in about an hour, and i have been able to edit which photos i put on my ipod for about an hour.
    Sorry its so long! You can see the photos on your ipod nano right? I only have slidshow settings when i go into the photo section. No pictures loaded onto it yet. Any ideas on whats goin on?

    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 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.

  • My old harddrive died, I got a brand new one, and I'm trying to put more music onto my ipod without it trying to sync and delete my old music currently on it. Is there any way to avoid this?

    as topic implies, I still have all the music from my old harddrive on here. I would like to...well...keep it, obviously, so I'm trying to find a way to add it to my iphone without it murdering the rest of my music because it has to sync it. I've tried checking off manually syncing music and such and when I click apply, it tries to remove everything off.
    any way around this or do I have to use another program of sorts?

    Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

  • 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.

  • Even with ipod rip, trouble transferring music from Win-IPOD to Mac-Itunes

    New Macbook (recent convert). Windows formatted IPOD. Bought IPOD-Rip. Plugged in ipod holding down Apple+Option so no accidents. Said IPOD RIP didn't recognize any music on IPOD, but did I want to do "hard recover" Yes. So--it then transferred entire contents of IPOD to Mac desktop. There it sits in all its glory. But my Mac Itunes doesn't recognize it, I THINK because it is Windows formatting. How do I get these songs into my Mac Itunes? While transfers are commonly discussed here, I don't think I've seen this particular problem?

    Thanks so much! Seems to have basically worked. But didn't import the playlists...I'm sort of assuming that given everything else peculiar to my situation, that there's nothing I can do about that?

  • Transfering Music from the ipod to the computer

    Hello all I am new in this, i just get my first ipod this week, is a 30Gb Video. i want to know how can i transfer the music that i have in the ipod to my computer, to burn it in CDS or something.
    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 mini ipod to a nano

    i just bought the nano and would like to transfer my music form my mini ipod to the nano. i can only transfer 1/2 of my music. i'm also using a new computer to do this. why can't i get all my music?

    Are you transferring these tracks back from your Mini
    to iTunes and are the ones that transfer purchased
    tracks? The transfer of non purchased content 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. 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 also read reviews of
    some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded
    Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC
    Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and
    Windows Versions
    Music
    Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPod
    Copy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's
    hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on
    Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and
    won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's
    available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off
    the iPod
    My songs are currently on my mini and in itunes, but when i try to transfer them to my new nano, it will not work. The only songs it will transfer are the songs that I copied from cd's. I also have a new computer that I am using, does this have anything to do with it? If I use my old computer would it work. From you response, it sounds like there is a solution w/ the link that you provided. Correct? Thank you for your feedback.

  • Transfering music from my iPod to my itunes on a new computer

    a few days ago, the power surged and destroyed my computer, and I just got a new one. Today I installed iTunes to my new computer, and when I went to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer, I discovered that I couldn't do this. I checked the support section of iTunes for help, and only found information on transfering music while the old computer is still accessable. Since my old computer is dead, I can't access it to follow any of the steps of the guide, or disconnect my iPod from the iTunes on my old computer. Does anyone know how I can sync my iPod with my new computer and sync the songs from my iPod onto my new computer (rather than erase all my songs which appears to be just about the only option my iTunes is offering right now)?

    How about this, I have an iPod that is synced to my friends computer. I finally got my own computer and want to transfer everything to this computer so I can add new stuff, but I want to leave my library at my friends house so I have a backup. So my question is, if I add stuff to my library on my computer and I reconnect it to my friends computer, will I lose the stuff I added from my computer?
    If you click "erase & sync" if prompted, yes.
    And also, do I need to go to my frineds house with my computer to transfer the non-purchased stuff?
    Don't steal music...
    The reason I want to know is I dont want to lose the stuff I have added from my computer when I connect to my friends computer. Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks in advance! =)

  • Transferring music frm 1 ipod to another

    me and my friend both have ipod minis and i want to put the music from her ipod onto my ipod using my computer but am really stuck on how to do it ive tried copy and import and that doesnt seem to work so i was hoping someone to help me out by telling me how to do it in detail
    thanx

    It can't be done in the way you are trying to do it.
    What you can do, is put your friends iPod in Hard Disk mode and use it as an external hard drive to transfer her iTunes music folder (located on her computer) to your computer.
    You can't transfer the music on her iPod to yours without third party software, which you don't really need anyway if you use the aforementioned method I described.
