Ipod and Computer Help Plz!!?

Question

when you plug your ipod into the computer, your ipod profile comes up. and you can only access the ipod music when you plug it in. how can you get the music from your ipod to your computer like in a file? and can you take your ipod files from your ipod and put them onto limewire?

Answer 1

u cant do that without the help of certain programs. i highly recommend a program called copypod:

last time i used it was a while ago, but hopefully the following will still work: it may limit how many songs u can transfer because they want u to buy it, but just upload X amount of songs and then close and reopen the program to finish off the rest.

best of luck

Answer 2

Apple does not offer this program to help cut down on music theft.  But other companies do make this software, you can google your question and find some programs.   I downloaded a software called ipodcopy for 20 bucks.  It's worthing paying for because the free one's are usually c**p and can be full of viruses.  Ipod copy is a great program.  Again you can't find these in stores, you can only download these programs online.

Answer 3

if you're using a mac, you can use a program called "senuti". What that does is that it copies any song that you select from your ipod to a file on your computer that you choose. And if you're using windows, you go into "My Computer" and double-click on your ipod. Then go into the "tools" menu, then "Options", and check the check-box that says "Show hidden files and folders. Then double click the folder in your ipod that says ipod control. Then navigate to music and drag all of the songs that you want out of the ipod to a file of your choice. But the songs are in numeric code so you might need to look at the tags of the songs to see what songs they really are. And as for the limewire question, i really don't have an answer unless you drag the songs that you want into your music folder for limewire, and highlight the ones that you want. Then you right click on them and click on enable sharing or something like that

Answer 4

I don't think you can take music from your ipod and put it on your computer.

Answer 5

you can't...I don't think.

Srry.

Answer 6

got to www.idump.com  they have a software that will take the songs from your ipod and put it on your computer in a different file.  i think it is $20.

Answer 7

u cant do that

Answer 8

I think there's a way to move iPod files to your computer, since the music is saved on the hard drive of your iPod (which is pretty much saved on like a computer file). You should check "iPod Help" on iTunes for more information on that. As for moving them onto limewire, I don't think that's possible. You'd have to go through the whole process limewire says to do in order to put music on.

Answer 9

ITS POSSIBLE. you have to go to my computer. choose your ipod from the removable disk drives. open it. then go to my options. find the option ''view hidden files and folders(or something like that)" and select it. then you will see your music. delect all the stuff you want on limewire. (HIGHLIGHT IT) then copy it and paste it on your desktop. im not sure how to get it to limewire.. but i hope i helped.  

Answer 10

you'd have to consult with my dad (seriously, he knows EVERYTHING)

Answer 11

You can use some free apps to download the files to your computer. As for the Limewire part, I can't answer something that is illegal to do.
