How do i get the control panel to show up on ipod with vista

If you bought all the music from iTunes store, once you plug in your iPod to computer, iTunes will ask you 'transfer purchases' or not. And then you can copy the purchased music from your iPod to iTunes.
This way is not work for the CD ripped music and website download music. But you can follow this step by step guide to transfer all the music from iPod to iTunes, including the non-purchases songs. It's easy to understand and works pretty well for my iPod.

it is completely possible to use your ipod to transfer music to a new computer.

Now these steps may vary if you have Window's Vista and not Window's XP. However, I will post step by step instructions below each item just in case you are unsure on how to do any of it.
First, on the computer, (without anything else open) click on the start menu and open your control panel. {If you have Vista you will need to click on classic view in the left panel of the control panel when it opens} Then go to Folder Options and click on the View tab at the top of that window, now select Show Hidden Files and Folders. Once that's done go ahead and close out of all windows.
second, you will want to put the ipod into disc mode.

Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears. When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect" If you are having difficulty putting the iPod model into disk mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center.



After doing this connect your ipod to your computer. If it auto pop's itunes, just wait for the ipod to show up in the devices area and then shut itunes.

Third, open your start menu again, and open My Computer. Once the My computer window is open double click on you ipod icon. Once your ipod opens you will see several folders. You will click and drag the itunes music folder to the new folder created on your desktop. This step may take a while if your ipod is fully loaded. Once complete your music will now be on your computer.

From here, all you will need to do is open itunes. If the music is not auto loaded into itunes, click on File in the top tool bar and open Add Folder To Library. Then browse to the new folder created on your desktop and select it. This will bring the newly added music on the computer into itunes and you will be ready to what ever else you wish to do
