Was the ipod formatted from the computer you want to put the songs onto? If it was, you should be able to drag and drop songs (if you're on manage music manually) into your music library.

Now, if your ipod was not formatted on that computer, then you cannot. Apple restricts you from being able to upload music to other computers besides the home computer so that people can't illegally share music.

There are 3rd party programs which can rip the music files from the protected ipod but I believe that's illegal, and this forum isn't for that kind of stuff.


You're better off taking the music files from the computer you formatted the ipod with and putting it on a CD and then importing that CD on the windows computer.

Senuti.

Simple as that.

Yeah, that's the program I've used. But is it technically illegal? I'm not really sure. Wouldn't it be breaking the security of the ipod (just curious)?

Hmm. Shouldn't you be able legally use your device with the software you want to use it with? Anyway, Senuti doesn't do anything to the player. It might break it's software, but nothing that iTunes can't restore with a click.

Senuti is perfectly legal if you take the songs you own off your iPod to put on a new computer of yours or put it back on a computer after a clean OS install. Now if you start using it to take other people's music off of their iPod (music you don't own), then it's illegal. But it's your actions that are illegal, not the program.

And Senuti is a Mac only app. It won't work on her windows machine.
If you're trying to get legal music back onto her machine that somehow was deleted or something you can try EphPod.

so to recap, if its not formatted to her comp it wont work? (I know its not by the way) So basically she cant...... legally. Thanks for everyone's help, but be careful i think we're on thin ice here with forum rules...

Funny...this has all be discussed before. Did you even try searching to find the answer first?
