How to Transfer Music From Ipod to Ia Computer in Itunes

Connect your Ipod to the PC.If ITunes ask you if you want to sync up your Ipod click NO.

After your ipod is connected, open My Computer and look for the ipod drive. It should be in the (F:) drive. You will see the Ipod logo in the listing of disk drives.

For Vista users :Open the Ipod drive and click on ORGANIZE. Then folder and search options tab. Then View and Show hidden files and folders.

For XP users :Open the Ipod drive and click tools then Folder options then View tab then click show hidden files and folder. Finally click Apply.

Now you should have a new folder called ipod_control. Open that folder up and you should see the following: Calendar, Contacts, ipod_control, notes, photos, ect. If you are trying to save all of your music then the ipod_control folder is the only one you need to worry about.

Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders (should look similar to these: F00, F01 ...) onto your computer.

You can do this by creating a new folder on your desktop and dragging the files into the folder.

Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music

You can now sync your Ipod to this new computer with out losing all of your music.
