Want to transfer songs off ipod

My old computer crashed and I lost all the memory. Is there a way I can transfer songs off of my Ipod mini to my new 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.

Want to transfer songs from Ipod to new computer

I want to transfer my songs from my Ipod to another computer but Itunes on the new computer wants to erase my Ipod first. How do I do this? I hate the idea of all my songs being on just one computer. What if the thing starts smoking. I'd hate to have to re-collect over 1000 songs.

Load songs off ipod to computor or disk

Is there anyway to load songs off ipod to computor or disk?

For 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.
Find out how to do that here.

For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), 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 is a little more involved than other methods.
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 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.
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.

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.

I want to transfer song from a computer that my Iphone 4s is not synced with but it's not letting me do it without syncing to that computer, is there a way around that?

iTunes will only add content to an iPhone from a single library. If you want to change the computer you routinely sync with either migrate the library from the original computer or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. If needs be you can have the "same" library available to you on multiple computers if you store it on an external drive and take it with you...

Is it possible to transfer songs on iPod to a computer that already has an iTunes profile for someone else? I recently had my laptop stolen so I no longer have iTunes backed up on a computer.

Do you mean you do not have a backup of your stolen computer?

I want to transfer songs from an old IPOD shuffle to my IPhone, how do I do this?

I have an old white IPOD shuffle that I want to download the songs off of to my IPhone, how do I do that? Itunes doesn't seem to recognize the Shuffle anymore?

Itunes doesn't seem to recognize the Shuffle anymore?
If the shuffle is broken, that will be a problem. The first step is to get the shuffle to work, so that it is recognized by the system.
When you connect it with iTunes running, it does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES? If you quit iTunes and run Disk Utility, does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar? When connected, does the orange light blink on and off?

HT1420 I want to transfer music off an old iPod but it says it comes from an older version of itunes Store and won't let me transfer to the new store.

I want to tranfer music off my old iPod but it says I can't because the music is linked to a different version of iTunes store. What do I need to do?

Found a resolution. Got a FREE introductory offer from the net and used it to download my music to my computer and then could drag over to iTunes.

Playing songs off iPOD without installed software.

Ok so I am aware that if we set my iPod classic to manually manage and disk use mode, we can transfer it around with us and plug it into a computer with itunes we can listen to the music right off the ipod. I am wanting to be able to either install some kind of software on my own USB flash drive, or the ipod unit itself. To be able to play songs off the ipod through any computer without having itunes installed on it. I have came across some "Portable Itunes" software, however those just didn't work properly.

if you turn on the ability to show hidden folders in windows you should be able to navigate to the songs on the ipod and play them with windows media player or whatever. the only problem is that they will not be sorted as you would expect. the file names will have random names in random folders but I think windows media player will read the track information if you add it to your playlist.
