Can I do This?

[Bob's Orange]

I had Itunes on my old PC, with Internet Explorer, but my new laptop has Windows XP. I want to put Itunes onto it and transfer all of the songs from my Ipod onto the Itunes.

I believe that this is possible, but do I run the risk of wiping all of the music off my Ipod?

Save the iTunes library onto a memory stick and then install iTunes on your new PC.

You can then import the library.

You can't copy from an iPod to a PC.

Apple won't let you for some reason.

You can't copy from an iPod to a PC.

You can if you use a third party app like ephPod.

I used it to rip all my tunes back to my PC after I formatted the hard drive.

iTunes wouldn't recognised my iPod once I'd used it with ephPod, so I just reset the iPod. It wiped the iPod but because I'd already transferred my music to my PC I just sync'd it back to the iPod again.

Isn't it all just kept in a hidden folder?

yes mate it is, although when its saved to the pc/laptop its saved as 4 letter code names like 'ADPO' or 'DPKL' but when u put them into itunes they have the correct artist and titles etc.

I didn't know that. I've never used an ipod, wouldn't want something that limits how you can use it. After all I have windows for that  :-))(

Looks good thanks. Just downloading Itunes onto my Laptop, will then download that and see if it works.

I can't save my Itunes from my PC as my PC is currently broken Ralphy.

Fingers crossed it works, got 6,500 songs on my Ipod and a further 20 or so new CD's to put into it.

ok, I got it to work using that CopyTrans software, however now I can't get Itunes to open. When I click on it, nowt happens and when I try to import nothing happens.

Any ideas?

I have never used Itunes, but as a general thingy. CTRL+ALT+DEL and make sure it's not already running but crashed. Firefox is good for doing that.

You are a genius Ben. That was the problem, but I worked it out about 30 minutes after I posted.

Thanks for taking the time out at that time in the morning to help me though.

I don't remember posting that at all.
