iPod Backup

[bass_man1989]

Does anyone know if there is a free backup software for an iPod, I know that you can buy 'em but I really don't feel like spending the bucks on it cause I'm cheap. I need one that would let me get videos, playlists, and music of course. Also, if anyone knows of one with a fully functional trial that would work too. Thanks.

I just got a new comptuer and I don't want to reload all my songs (2500) smart ass.

um... move the hard drive(s)...

My old computer is messed up and I don't know what it is so I don't want to take that crap and put it in my new computer. I'm looking for a backup software, thank you.

So you want to move the files to your new comp, but you dont want to because they could have a virus?

Something I'm not following here?

And as far as backup software for an ipod goes, what exactly do you want to use it for? Elaborate a bit and I'll be happy to help.

 

[bass_man1989]

What I'm looking for is a software that allows you to use your iPod as a flash drive, take off what you want and add what you want. I know these exist but I don't know if there is a free one. And yeah, I'm worried about effi'n up my new computer if I put the shit from the old one in it, it's pretty bad.

CopyPod backup iPod Music from iPod to computer, playlists

I probably should have posted that link earlier, that is one of the backup softwares but it's not free and well, I'm cheap as hell.

so, you want to transfer stuff from the old computer to the new computer, not necessarily music?

 

[bass_man1989]

No, forget the computer, it's done. I just have an iPod with all my music and videos, and a new computer with none of that music. Since I have 2500 songs and 15 videos I don't want to have to reload all of them. I need a software that can get the music, album art, playlists, and vidoes off the iPod and on to the computer.

hmm - your music player cant communicate with the ipod? i know it can store stuff on it, it should be able to read stuff off...

Ipods aren't supposed to transfer music back to a computer after it has been synced. I had this same problem. On my Ipod, if I wanted to move files that weren't music/video, i just went through "my computer" and added them, then transfered to the other comp. But as for pre-synced stuff, I don't know what to tell you....

Try googling it or try looking on sourceforge.net.. that's all i got...

And that's why iPods suck. I can sync music to my MP3 player and then if I just plug it back into my computer I can see all of my files and copy them onto my computer =]
