Having the data to export music to another processor using
your iPod can help you keep a backup of your medium files. It's always a high-quality
idea to research intellectual property laws in your area to make sure you're
not in breach when copying such files. ITunes is used to synchronize music
files using your pc and your iPod. Your iPod is same to a normal hard drive; a pc
will recognize it immediately after you start it using a USB cable.
Step 1: attech your iPod to the pc that contains the music
files you want to export using a USB cable. Open iTunes and click the iPod icon
in the "Source pane" on the left side of your computer screen. Click
the "Sync" button located on the bottom-right hand corner of your pc
screen to match files.
Step 2: Select your iPod in the "iTunes Source"
list and click the "eject" icon next to the iPod icon. Select
"Eject iPod" from the "Controls" menu bar...
Step 3: Attech your iPod to the second processer using a USB
cable. Press the "Windows" key and "E" at once to open
Windows Explorer.
Step 4: Locate the drive letter for your iPod, "(D :)"
or "(P :)" like, and expand it. Click the "Tools" menu and
click "Folder Options." Click the "View" tab and scroll down
to "Show unseen files and folders" and click it. Click
"OK."
Step 5: develop the folder called "iPod Control"
then expand the folder called "Music." Your music files are saved in
this folder. You can now select the files you want to copy and paste them you

Sometime you may have this trouble: You have an old pc which
clutches your entire iTunes library including music, video, movie, TV shows,
etc. And now you get a new computer, you want to shift iTunes library from the
old computer to the new processer.
And here is a step by step guide will supply two solutions
to fix the problem;
Option 1: If you have an iPod, you can sync your iTunes
library to the iPod, and then duplicate them from iPod to the new computer;
Option 2: You can sync iTunes to outer hard drive and introduce
them back to the new computer; Now, let's start the point. Part 1 . User iPod
to transfer iTunes library to another p c .
Step1. Sync the iTunes library from pc to your iPod, I'm dam
sure you can handle this step, so I'm not explain it here. Because iTunes
prevents copying music and video from iPod to pc , you need special and important
software to bypass the iTunes
limitation. I have extremely tried many iPod transfers, and I strongly suggest
this iPod to Computer transmitter. It's actually easy to use. I have experienced
it with all series of iPod counting iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPod Shuffle,
iPod photo, even iPhone, they all works pretty well. Moreover, you can use it
as an iTunes alternative, it's really useful when your iTunes can't recognize
your iPod but you want to upload music and video to iPod.Step2. Download and
install the iPod to PC transfer, here is the free download link, it's about 5.2

Similar to the windows version, so I’m not repeating here.
For more iPod Transfer alternatives, you can refer to this side by side iPod to
Computer Transfer review.Part2. Use external hard drive to transfer iTunes
library to another computer Since iPods get their music by syncing with iTunes,
you'll need to either 1) tell iTunes to store music files on your portable
external hard drive instead of your regular drive, or 2) import music files
from your external drive into iTunes.
Step1: Tell iTunes where to store music files
Open iTunes and select Edit -- Preferences. Then click the advanced
tab where you'll find the iTunes Music folder location.
Click the Change button and choose a folder on your external
hard drive (you might want to create one first if you want files to be stored
in a particular folder on the new drive).
If you want all of your music files to be moved over from
your main drive to the external drive, then make sure the Copy files to iTunes
Music folder when adding to library option is checked.
Step2: Import music into iTunes from an external hard drive
If you already have music video on a portable hard drive,
and just want to get them into iTunes so you can sync up and get those files on
your iPods, then you can just drag and drop those files onto your new computer
iTunes.
