OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I somehow got all my online itunes purchased songs corrupted, but luckily my ipod had all the non corrupted versions, so I can now recover my lost songs thanks to this!
@darken731 oh really Thanks! :D that's good to hear for when I need it, my new itouch was able to download all of my purchased songs through Icloud, so now I have 3 ways to get my music back for next time!
you say copy into itunes library, however, when I open itunes, it doesn't show library.. um, what do I do? the other part worked, I see the hidden folder/files
i am technologically challenged and this video was GREAT and easy to follow... best of all... IT WORKED. Apparently when you put music files onto your apple product, apple automatically changes the names of your music files to random 4 and 5 letter characters, but it reserves all the music info... so dont worry. BUT WHAT ABOUT PLAYLISTS? I love my old playlists and can not find the files anywhere. Is this even possible? If not, I have all my music... so thats good enough. Thank You!
but mine says digital camera and it shows only the pictures i have even after i selected show hidden files, so what do i do to overcome this issue that im sure most of us have?
@HeadBangerAust I know right? I have iPod touch and I tried to import all songs to my iTunes. But for some freakin' unknown reasons I can't see the iPod drive in "My Computer".
This was great! Gave me exactly the instructions and the video that I needed to successfully import all of my ipod content. After my PC crash 2 months ago and losing all of my music, etc., I was thrilled that you could help me recover it off of my ipod. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!
this only works on the old ipods not touches or iphones they only come up as cameras if you want to import your shit you need to download some software (touchcopy)
This will not work while the music folder on iPOD has "hidden" property. First change properties of this folder by unchecking "hidden" option for the folder and all subfolders files etc.
Thanks kid, this was helpful, my dinosaur computer stopped working so I didn't have a chance to get my music from it, now I have all my music on my new pc
I LOVE my Ipad 2 =) Yesterday I received a free ipad 2 for testing I'm so happy.. didn't believe thats real when i saw the testing offer at ipad2reward (dot) info .. I contacted the owner he said they still got a few to give away 4freeee =)
Thanks man. Once I changed the file permissions to show hidden files, my IPOD then showed up in Explorer and it worked pretty much as you explained. The only problem was that ITUNES would still not recognize the music once on my PC, so I had to manually import the songs from ITUNES. I don't understand Apple's thinking though. I mean, most people at one time or another are going to have to reformat and/or buy a new PC. Guess copyright infringement paranoia reigns supreme. :o(
ay man thank this ipod i found didnt show up at first then i jest looked around and signed of and back in to itunesn it was there but thanks for this video helped alot
i dont have any of those files that you have, I have an ipod touch and all it shows when I go to the files on it is my pictures. Do you know why this is?
THANK you sooooooo much! I have been trying to do this forever and my laptop ran out of room then died. Then I got a new computer and it looked like there was just no way to do it! You are BRILLIANT! ^_^
@frankarmann56 Go to that sme place in the file. Click organize at the right hand corner and it should say layout. Then click the menu bar. And there ya go! :)
The question is what happens to the music files once you have dragged them onto your itunes library? Are the actual mp3 files copied back in the default itunes library folder on your pc?
This is my situation : all my music was organised as mp3 in folders on my external HDD. I setup itunes so it would read the music from my external disk. Today my disc crashed and I'm unable to restore it. Luckily I got most of the music on my ipod. I would like to copy all music back onto a new external disk
Why are all the music names all messed up by the way? They are named like AESP or RGYW or QODE! Is it because the itunes decoding messed up the names?
For me, I could not drag the folder and put it in the library in itunes. I had to go to each individual song and drag it into itunes! It still worked though. ;)
Maybe that's what people should do if they are having trouble dragging the folder into itunes.
Thanks a lot dear for posting this video...it made my life a lot easier..i was not getting any way to sync my songs from ipod to itunes or pc...now i know wht to do..thanks again.. :)
Thanks for the that...worked perfectly. However only some of the music file titles are shown, not all, as I don't want to copy the whole ipod content into Itunes Library, how do I find out titles without playing individually? Many Thanks.
my comp broke so i cant import my songs and vids in the itunes in my comp. im running out of space in my itouch. im just wondering if theres anyway to import stuff in the itunes in my itouch
my boyfriend just gave me his ipod...and this is the 1st ipod i have ever had..aka never had an itunes account...i just made an itunes account and it is completely empty. i just tried copying all the songs from his ipod to my computer but when i try to drag the music file to my library it didn't do anything...what do i do????? :( help me please!
what about for the shuffle im trying to put my friends music on my itunes it doesnt ocme up and when i go to his ipod the songs are all faded and it wont let me play them im pissed
I imported all of the songs, however, they will not play in itunes and some of them still have weird names like "TGLV" or "GIKR". I'm trying to do this for a friend to take the music from her nano and put it on her touch. Please help.
This video is direct to the point... Seems simple enough, but how do u know which song is which?
