Windows ipod to my new mac

Not sure if this is where I should post this.
But I just got a Macbook Pro and have been using my ipod on a windows xp based desktop computer.
How do I put my songs from the ipod onto my new mac.
I got conflicting info from the genius bar and also from telephone support.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

The transfer of content from 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 music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content 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
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.

  • How do I transfer my music from my old Windows iPod to my new Mac?

    I just got myself a new Intel based Mac and I wanted to transfer all the music that I have on my Windows formatted iPod to my Mac. How exactly can I accomplish this? Now, I'm not too fancy with all these computer terms and all so easy to understand language would be appreciated.
    In case if needed, my old PC was running windows XP.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my new mac?

    I just got a new mac and would like to transfer my music from my iPod to my new mac. Ive tried a few programs to do it and it will not let me because of IOS 5. Any help?

    if it was bought on the ipod then you can transfer
    otherwise you have to rely on the 3th party programs catching up with ios5 way of doing it
    apple makes it like this to avoid people using ios devices to tranfer illegal material from computer to computer

  • How can I get EVERY music file on my iPod onto my new Mac, not just the songs purchased off of the iTunes store?

    So I've got an iPod classic with songs on it from the iTunes store, from CDs of my own, from free online playlists, etc. and when I plug it into my new Mac laptop the only songs that show up on iTunes are the ones I actually purchased in the iTunes store with my old computer (not a Mac). How can I copy ALL the music on my iPod onto my new Mac?

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

  • Can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

    can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

    Short answer is now.  Any app that was developed on
    for Windows will not run on OSX and visa versa.
    However, You can create a Windows environment on
    a Mac by 2 methods.  The first, create a dual boot
    machine using Bootcamp and install Windows on a
    seperate partion and then select which operating system
    to boot into.  The second is using virtual machine products
    such as VMware  Fusion  or Parallels Desktop Mac.  You
    basically create a virtual Windows environment that
    runs along side and concurrent with OSX. 
    Not sure how well this second approach will work with
    any CS4 app, as they tend to be quite resource intensive.

    If your copy of PS was for Win, your installation disk is not compatible with Mac.  You can't use a Win serial number on Mac either.  You would need to contact Adobe Customer Care and request a cross grade.  Depending on which version you own, this may no longer be possible.  I believe CS6 still qualifies for cross grades though. 
    Another option is to join the Creative Cloud Photography Plan ($9.99/mo) which includes PS CC and Lightroom which will run on on both Mac & Win.

  • Need help moving iPod library to new Mac Mini

    The bad news is that my 4 year old Mirror Door Dual Processor PowerMacG4 finally gave up the ghost on me. The good news is that I then went out and bought a shinny new Mac Mini. Thinking it would be easy (what was I thinking) I then attached my iPod 2Gen 15GB to my new iTunes and it promptly wiped it clean for me (read as PANIC, as I have literally thousands of dollars invested in iTunes music). Not to be a snob, but I also own a iPod Mini (4 GB) that also had a copy of the library on it.
    HOW do I copy the library to my new Mac?? I also have a Mac Powerbook 12" and it has a dated copy of the library on it...
    Is there ANYTHING that is easy with these Mac's??
