Help with IPod, Itunes and a system crash!
I need some help please.
My computer crashed last week and I had to reinstall windows. After reinstalling i-tunes I went to connect my ipod to transfer all the songs and low and behold... IT WON't LET ME! Now I have 2k+ songs on my Ipod and I can't add them to my itunes library and I can't add any more songs untill I sync with the itunes library... Is there an easy way to transfer these songs? Is there some way apple allows to do this that I just am not getting? I've looked in Itunes everywhere but this just baffles me? Any help would be appreciated I realllly don't feel like importing all those CD's again. BLAH Don |

thanks... I did a search but didn't want to try anything "illegal" I wanted to know if Apple has a legal way to do this... I don't like getting in and messing with settings and all that. With my kinda luck I would f-up my ipod.
I just can't believe Apple doesnt have an answer for this. Don |
Shani's suggestion in the other thread won't fuck up your iPod. I know, because I personally used it to transfer music from my iPod to a new(er) computer I have that isn't the computer I sync my iPod to. Furthermore, there's nothing illegal about it--you're merely making hidden files accessible.

I wouldn't worry about the music being transferred from your iPod with a third-party program (of which there are many) if you are, in fact, a licensed user. It's not illegal to use these programs. Winamp does this by default, for example. I'm sure Apple would have buried those guys if it were illegal. |
Maybe it's because Apple is aware that they are very easy to sue and they require some sort of goodwill from the recording industry.
It's probably one of those things where it's easier to let the grey market fill the void and offload the risk (and strain on relationships when it comes to contract-negotiation time). Anyway, these guys have solid advice. Google will definitely know the answer to this one. |
I don't know if it would be able to go around your problem, but I always recommend MediaMonkey [for Windows] if one likes iTunes.
Before making a switch read these articles:
_________________ Are your songs DRM'ed (copy protected)? If not, for all operating systems:__________________ //Off topic// Just for clarification, yes, yes I do hate the iPod, iTunes, and just about everything Macintosh related. |
The only thing I can add is that 64bit windows XP and the later versions of itunes are like mortal enemies! Just to be able to sync songs to my shuffle I had to modify the damn install file with orca and tell it that 64bit was okay to install to. Now, if I had 64bit vista, it would work just fine, but not windows xp... what a load of crap. Itunes is a pos anyways.

Try PodUtil, it'll transfer all of the songs from your iPod to your computer. It's free and it's pretty easy to use.

I can't imagine how frustrated someone had to be to figure that one out. |
