ok scrath my last post.. my songs are coming up as random letters... do i have to manually rename them all now? wtf would it change my song names to sum BS letters
k thanks a lot.. u say in the description to navigate to Media in the left side bar... that doesnt exist... all it shows is my iPod, root directory, and Apps.. no Media.. any suggestions?
@UnGr3aTFuL Windows does this since that's the only thing Apple wants you to use it for without going into iTunes.
If you're following the video method, but using the software in the description, the processes are completely different. Instead of using Windows Explorer, open iExplorer (the one you just installed), and select your iPod from the sidebar. From there, open Media, iTunes_Control, and copy the files out.
@TheLg884 Are you sure you're using the updated method in the description? I use Windows 7 x64 and iExplorer worked fine other than the weird Safari .dll error I mentioned in the description (which didn't even affect it).
With the older software, it hasn't been updated in years, so I would kind of expect that...
@richpartygal123 Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc. to open it directly. You can also press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, but if you're on vista or 7, you also have to click "Start Task Manager".
You could also just right click the taskbar at the bottom of your screen and click "Start Task Manager"
@divinedestiny93 A lot of people have been having problems, so I posted an update in the description.
Basically, the software I originally used hasn't been updated in a really long time, and I found another program that shouldn't have as many problems, because the iTunes_Control folder isn't hidden (and it supports 64 bit).
oh my days, i've been trying to find a new way to get my music off my touch for hours now. i used to use diskaid, but i ran out of trial. they got wise to the uninstall, reinstall.
Please help i don't know how to add apps in iTouch then i start clicking stuff then when i opened my iTouch songs are gone and when i open iTunes i clicked devices then iPod then i saw only summary and no Music,Videos.Photos,Info tabs and no sync please help me
@azzoldino I don't understand what you're trying to say. Are you saying that you can't sync your iPod, the tabs are missing and your iPod has no media? Try restoring the iPod in iTunes to the latest firmware then adding all of your media again.
Thank you sooooooooo much. That was great. I mean it took a while, not as fast as the video showed it to be. It took a lot of patience with all the music moving and it crashed a few times. Maybe thats cause I have 900 songs? Lol. Anyways, thanks a bunch. Finally one that worked.
@CnRDirt Try making Windows Explorer view hidden files and folders. Open any folder, and press Alt+T. From that menu, select "Folder Options". Under the view tab, search for "Show hidden files and folders" select it and click OK. See if that works. Also, when you finish, you can turn it back off.
It might be slightly different for you since I'm currently using Windows XP.
@datadude360 yeah i tried this, "show hidden folders and files" thing and this did not work for me i still cant view itunes_Control...i am currently running windows vista. would this be the problem ?
@3606309336 Try manually typing it into the address bar. If that doesn't work, try using iPhone explorer and copy the files out of itunes_control. I think that it's under the system folder, but I can't remember what it's called... It's the one that doesn't have apps in it.
@iivan1254 It was something I found in YouTube's AudioSwap. I don't remember what the title was since I chose it a year ago--And honestly, I didn't even recognize it when I first heard it in order to answer your question. I looked through what audioswap has currently, but they must have taken it out.
If you want it, I stripped the audio from the video and made it fade out. Download it at
bit . ly / dZZUsx
but with no spaces. Click download on that page, skydrive doesn't like linking to files...
Thank you!!! Works like a HOT DAMN!!! :D

@Jibbles345 Make sure that you installed it correctly. If you're sure you did, try rebooting your computer.
If you can't get iPhone Folders to work, try using iPhone explorer instead.

@Brad13139TV No, that's just how iTunes syncs them. If you can't just ignore it, then you can rename each one individually.
