How To Copy All Your Ipod Music To Your Computer

[nickilover248]

Thanx for this, I have been trying for days to find my stuff on the ipod connection and couldn't figure out how to view and copy. Finally got my music and such copied back to my pc after data loss.

[xLunarxIrisx]

I've been trying to do this but every time I tell my iPod not to sync so I don't lose my 400+ songs, it automatically closes the folder and it disappears from the list on my computer, even though the iPod still shows being connected in iTunes. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?

[M4DM4N789]

Would I be able to transfer the stuff from my nano to my touch using this?

[shadowario]

this video really help me out! i thought i would lose all my rare songs over the years thanks!

[mofisbroth]

Thank you sir! any ideas on gtting the names back? or do they come back in itunes?

[funkbaby985]

@DelilahFarenheit i know but is there another way becuase i dont want to download anything in to my pc

[DelilahFarenheit]

@17tacoman17 lol idk I suck with technology, that's why I came here. But you can usually trust downloads... just check the comments for "OMG BASTARD THAT SITE GAVE ME A VIRUS" and google the program to see what people say about it and whatnot and good luck!!

[wiltonkang]

[yatesld]

I would like to go on the record as saying, "You are AWESOME"! Thanks for posting this video.

[rachelloveslizzie]

when i have hidden files showing, it doesnt show an ipod control thing to click on.

[kikilandi1webkinz]

in the beginging when I do this all that shows up is "internal storage?"

[bensonic97]

@kikilandi1webkinz Yeah same! I think it's because I have an iPod touch, though. =(

[stormbornheart]

Thank you! I find this method much less of a hassle then having to download a software that only allows you to copy 100 songs.

[likelovinmik]

works thanks baby

[AJM7finals]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH that is all

[SkiTheEast168]

[dallas1028]

[MsSeaweed11]

Ok, now is it too much to ask....is there a way to keep your old playlists too? Thank you.

[warhawkfan1234]

[tripleG226]

[925AdrianO]

How do you get it to your itunes?

Do you just drag it?

[foxy2316]

I get to the actual moving of the files, and it comes up with an error saying "so-and-so is corrupt" and then nothing happens after that. /:

[HowToAndMore]

@ExorSMRPG Try to mess around in the properties and select show hidden files/folders.

[sel1601]

u saved me alot of time

[SweetEnvy010]

the only thing i hate is that at the end of the whole process, all the files have a whole new name like AHYZ or something

[HowToAndMore]

@SweetEnvy010 Yeah you can thank Apple for this...

[HenrydeBeli]

@SweetEnvy010 you can use a program like TidySongs for that little problem :)
