Tips

• These instructions apply only to wheel iPod models such as iPod Classic, iPod Nano, etc. If you have an iPod Touch or iPhone, you won't be able to switch your device to Target Disk Mode - this is a limitation set by Apple. In this case, you will need third-party software to switch the device to mass storage mode or copy the contents of the iPod directly to iTunes.
• After you copy the files to your new computer and restart iTunes, you will need to import the folder into The library (menu section File). Make sure the folder is not hidden (hovering over the folder, right-click and uncheck Attributes)
• So check each folder to make sure the files are being moved to the correct location on the computer.

Warnings

• You will have to leave the iPod connected for a while, perhaps more than an hour. Don't start the process if you don't have enough time.
