I bought the icopyexpert after my computer crashed to rip the songs from my ipods back onto my computer. I was able to rip from the classic-it was simple everything happened the way it should. My 5th generation nano however isn't doing as it should. When I connect it this is what it says. (the ipod is named Deions ipod) it opens Deions IP (G) then has folders for calendars, DCIM, Notes, Recordings, metadata_never_index. It does not open to the music on the ipod When my classic is connected it has an additional folder listed for music--but not on the nano. what's the deal?

Sometimes it is easiest to start over. In the case of the popular iPod, clearing the hard drive is the easiest way to remove the files and restore the drive. The process is rather basic using the Apple iTunes software. Once your 120 GB iPod is restored, you can quickly sync all of your songs saved on your computer back onto the iPod. Properly complete the restoration process and enjoy your revitalized iPod.
Open the iTunes application on your computer. If you do not yet have the iTunes application, you can download it from Apple's website for free. From there you can easily download and install it. Open the folders on your computer which contain your saved music files and drag and drop them into iTunes. If prompted to convert to M4a, select "Convert." Connect your 120GB iPod to the computer using the provided USB cable. Click the "Restore" button on the main screen in iTunes, then click "Restore" a second time once prompted to initiate the restore process. Click the "Next" option, then "OK" once the restoration is complete. Your music will no longer be on your iPod, but will remain in your iTunes library. Click the "Sync" button on the bottom left side of the iTunes screen to sync the music library with the iPod.

You can't "backwards sync" (put music from your iPod back onto your computer) through iTunes. When you went to sync after you got your fixed computer back, I'm assuming iTunes tried to copy what was in iTunes (nothing) to your iPod, which probably is what caused these problems.

Assuming you still have the music on your iPod, I would recommend transferring the music from your iPod back to your computer (to a folder other than iTunes), restoring your iPod to factory settings, then moving all of the music files into iTunes and re-syncing your iPod.

There are two programs that are available to transfer songs from your iPod back onto your computer. The first is iDump and the second is YamiPod. I have found that iDump is the better of the two.
The link for iDump is:

Hope this helps!

Have you tried using another computer? the computer might be the problem. If this seems to be the problem format computer.

Hello,
I bought a few weeks ago iCopyExpert to put my ipod (classic)music and play list into my computer.
I have 9980 songs in my ipod to copy, all the process star OK, but when the icopyExpert begins to transfer the music to my itunes (after I already disconnected my ipod, as the program says I should do) in middle of the procedure (after 3500 - 4000 songs have been copied to my itunes) a screen window emerge saying: "access violation at address 004CBB17 in module 'iPodCopy.exe.' Read of address 00000000", and stop the copy process.
Please, can you tell me what I have to do to copy all my music passing up the message?
I will really appreciate any advice to solve this problem and finally get all my music in my VAIO PC.

The following simple guidance is about transfer music from old iPod to new iPod with the "Transfer Purchases" function of iTunes:

1. Plug the Old iPod into computer via the USB cable. Then launch iTunes.
2. Click "File > Device > Transfer Purchases". iTunes will automatically transfer the songs to iTunes library.
3. Plug the new iPod into computer. Then import the songs from iTunes to the new iPod.

But if you want to move the whole music library between iPods, here are better ways to help you do that:https://www.leawo.org/tutorial/how-to-transfer-music-from-old-ipod-to-new-ipod.html?=1400

Hello there Sheila,

You need to plugin your IPOD to your computer which has ITUNES installed in it. Start Itunes and you will notice form the left pane the name of your IPOD. Click for that to show list of songs on the right. Click on the songs you want to delete and press Delete from the keyboard. After you finished "cleaning". Do a re-sync on the IPOD.

You're going to need iTunes to do this, download it here. Once you've done this you can import all your music and videos to iTunes, and then use it to put your media onto your iPod.
Hope this helps!

Distinct clicking, right? Your hard drive is about to crash completely. Other than the ticking, your problems are probably because the hard drive is not giving out the information it needs to because it can't. You need either a new Hard drive or a new player. once you get it all of you problems should go away.

how did you rip your music. you have to use Itunes.
down load itunes from apple.com
go to import music from folder and go to my music folder and bingo all your music will be in a language that your ipod will read.

you can put all of your songs on the same itunes and check only the songs for your ipod and only sync checked songs
