I had songs in my ipod in my laptop's itunes software, I re-installed my OS so all my songs library in my laptop is gone, but I have those songs in my ipod. So, now i want to transfer to ipod songs to my itunes but it says ipod can only be synced to one itune library, and askes me to delete all my songs in ipod.

My question is how do i transfer songs from my ipod to itunes? how do i back up my songs from my ipod?

Help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

 I am pretty sure I transfered songs from my frens ipod once in my computer once. forgot how to. So I can only transfer songs from my ipod to a cd? I have like 4 gb worth of songs though, it wont fit in a disk. thanks for your help

If that is the case, there must be some software that enables you to do that. Itunes itself doesn't have such interface. But as they say, there is always a loophole, eh!

Good luck finding the way!!!

i think i copied a whole folder from his ipod folder and then synced it with itunes. But the thing is I cannot find the music folder in my ipod. argh this is so frustrating. i wonder why apple did this. why cant they just have a copy paste system like other mp3 players. this is bullsh!t if I have to erase all the content of my ipod to sync. help please, i have a long drive tomorrow :(

dude it's so simple.

first thing is that ur ipod comes with factory default to b syned automatically with ur itunes library. so in order to avoid the deletion of ur songs, first set it to manually sync. u can do this once u connect ur ipod and go to the ipod window.

second thing u can transfer ur songs in ipod to ur computer but for that u've to enable ur hidden folders. the songs are in hidden folders. then u can easily copy and paste all ur songs to ur computer.

good luck.
