I just bought an IPod from a friend and it has many songs and a couple movies on it. How do I transfer the songs from the IPod into my Itunes Library? Whenever I try to "sync" it warns me that it will delete all that is currently on my Ipod and replace it with what's on my computer. And ideas?
Thanks!

It's possible but a little complicated to move songs from an iPod to a computer. You have to 'unlock' some hidden files. Try this:
-open iTunes on your computer, then open iTunes preferences and leave running (this will temporarily prevent your computer from trying to sync with iPod)
-connect your iPod and wait about 15 seconds
-Go to My Computer, go to tools, click on 'folder options', then 'view tab,' then 'show hidden files.'
-open the iPod icon in My Computer
-open ipod_control
-drag the 'music' folder to somewhere on your hard drive
-right click this new music folder and select 'properties'
-clear checkmark next to 'hidden' then close this window
-eject iPod from your System Tray using the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon at the bottom right corner of your screen
-cancel the iTunes preferences window
-go to File menu, click 'add folder to library,' add 'music' folder

You can't do that....it won't let you. You have to use your own iTunes library. Or, if you want to use what's on your friends, ask them if they can update your iPod for you

hi, iTunes itself can help you. in the experience that your iTunes can no longer artwork, you may attempt different application, like iPod/iPad circulate, iPad/iPod Converter an so on. My sister has iPad supervisor, it is likewise a kind of application, you're able to as properly have a attempt. desire it may help you.

you can not transfer the songs and movies from your ipod to your computer. try going to that friends house and save the files from their computer, put on a disk, and then go home and put them on yours. it should work
