I need some iTunes experts

[kidsmoke*]

Because they like to be propietary, Apple has attempted to make it difficult to transfer music from your iPod to your PC.

However, it is not impossible.


Note: I am assuming you are using a PC. If you're using a Mac, it's a bit different, but same basic concept.

How different??

Hey guys, in a bit of a bind here, and a very similar situation. Have an OLD Pod and a "new" macbook. I wish to get the music off the pod onto the book so I can do all that you do once it's on iTunes.

When I connect the pod, I can view everything in iTunes, but cannot move anything from the iPod to the laptop.

When i attempt to access the iPod as an external drive, I can view photos and other files, but the music files are not even evident.....

Thanks in advance for any help.

I use YamiPOD along with iTunes, because I have several iPods.

YamiPod can move files back and forth no problem...so I'd suggest that.

Tio Kimo -

For Macs, there are several free programs that will allow you to easily pull stuff from an ipod to your Mac. This page lists a few of them with links to download...

Thanks to both of you for the response. I'll dig into this before the games tomorrow...I've actually got a gig tonight. 2nd time ever... first time with this group of people.... been practicing all afternoon

Good for you for the gig. Hope it works out well for you.

update,
downloaded the iMacsoft iPod to mac transfer, and it works flawlessly. Limited to 100 files at a pop, but it is so simple and clean, I'm not complaining.

Thanks again for the help.

Glad you found a workable solution.
