Unable to transfer songs from Ipod to pc/flash drive

I copied my whole cd collection and used itunes to put on my ipod. So now my whole cd collection is on my iphone. I sold my cd's. How do I transfer all of my music from my ipod to my flashdrive or pc? I dont want to transfer to cd's because it will take way too many.
Thank you

Using Win-XP2/HE with iTunes disabed, try using Windows Explorer to copy (Shuttle's) iPod_Control Folder into Shared Albums/Music categories under Shared Documents.
Note: iTunes-v7 Files Menu doesn't show transfer optiions!

Unable to transfer songs from iPod

I have an iMac at home. While on vacation, I purchased an iPod for my wife. Since we were away from home, we initially set up the iPod on my sister-in-law's home PC (they also have an iPod, so they knew how to "start"). Now we are back home and I am trying to "Sync" up our iPod (which now has 128 songs on it, primarily from copied CDs, but some from purchases at the iStore using the In-law's PC) to our iMac. When I connect the iPod, I select the "Transfer Purchases" option, which implies it will now copy all the songs from the iPod and place them on my iTunes play list. However, nothing seems to happen. My iTunes play list is still empty. How do I transfer these 128 songs to my iTunes play list?!?! Help!

You won't be able to play the iTunes purchased songs until you authorize your computer with account you used on the Sister-In-Law's computer.

How to transfer songs from ipod to your library

hi, sorry to bring up a new question, but recently i have restored my computer and accidently forgot to burn the paid songs from my library to a cd. the songs are still on my ipod, but for some reason it won't let me transfer those songs back to my library. is there anyway to retrieve my lost songs back to my library?

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
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), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is 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.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

How to transfer songs from ipod to library

I am trying to transfer songs from my old ipod to my library and get them on a new ipod. How do I do this? I am so confused

If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
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

Transfer Songs from Ipod to New Computer and New Itunes Installation

Hi,
I want to transfer songs on my Ipod to a new installation of Itunes on a new computer. I get a message that my Ipod is synced to another library and that I can only be synced to one library and that my ipod will be erased and synced to the currently libary. The problem is my current library is empty since it's a new itunes installtion and I don't want to erase my ipod and delete all my songs.
So how do I transfer songs from my ipod to the new itunes installation on my new computer?
Thanks for any replies.

I think I've read in a post before that you can't do it that way. That you can only transfer music from the computer to the iPod, and not the other way around. I believe they suggested backing up your library (to disk, I guess) and installing it on the new computer. Something like that. It seems silly that the transfer only works one way, but there you are.

You sync your tunes, right? Those tunes are stored in your iTunes Library.
Or maybe I'm understanding question completely. How did you migrate your tunes in the first place?

Is there ANY way to transfer songs from ipod to library???

I have an Ipod mini, and I have received about 200 songs from 3 or 4 of my friends libraries, but now I can't put those songs in MY library. I really want to burn some of them onto cd's etc etc in case my ipod goes down, but the songs need to be from your LIBRARY. Is there ANY way to do this (trick, program, accessory, etc??)
If not, is there any way to burn songs from ipod to a cd?? I want to get a support together in case my computer or ipod break. Thank you!!
By the way, obviously I have Windows. Its XP to if that helps.

Hi Jesse welcome to discussions. There is a way, try this Paul Ross, "Copy iPod music to a new computer" #1, 07:54pm Oct 26, 2005 CDT it worked for me.
Good Luck
