mac hard drive desktop hide image
Ellie 5
So last year my hard drive crashed on a computer and it had all my songs from cds that I have now gotten rid of because I got the ipod. Is there a way to transfer those songs from my ipod to my new computer? I have a slightly older ipod so I don't know if that would make a difference. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Answer
Yes, you can. First off if yours a iPod Touch this won't work. Second is your computer a Mac or Windows? Here's instructions for both.
MAC USERS:
Step 1: Connect your iPod and launch iTunes. In the iPod management screen, scroll down to Options and check "Enable disk use." iTunes will give you a warning--select OK.
Step 2: Now your iPod will show up as a drive on your Desktop. But before you can access its files, download and install a program called Houdini. Houdini lets you view the music folder that's automatically hidden by Apple.
Step 3: Open Houdini, click "Folders," and then "Reveal." Locate your iPod, and open "iPod_controls." Highlight "Music," and press Choose.
Step 4: Now in your iPod folder, open iPod_Controls > Music. Highlight all of the folders and drag them into the desired folder on your hard drive. This might take a while, depending on how much music you're transferring.
Once the files are copied, you've successfully transferred the music. However, you'll notice that the songs have four-letter names and are scattered among many folders. It's OK. Once you import the music into iTunes (or any other media player), the program will reinstate the titles of the songs.
WINDOWS USERS:
If yours is a iPod Touch this wont't work.
Step 1: Connect your iPod and launch iTunes. In the iPod management screen, scroll down to Options and check "Enable disk use." iTunes will give you a warning--select OK.
Note: If you get an error message asking you to reformat upon connecting, your iPod was originally formatted for Mac and cannot be used in Windows. One workaround is to install a program like MacDrive, which will allow your Windows machine to read Mac-formatted drives. Clicking "reformat" will erase your iPod.
Step 2: Now open My Computer and open your iPod drive.
Step 3: Open Tools > Folder Options. Click the View tab and check "Show hidden files and folders."
Step 4: Now in your iPod folder, open iPod_Controls > Music. Highlight all of the folders and drag them into the desired folder on your hard drive. This might take a while, depending on how much music you're transferring.
Step 5: Highlight all of the folders again, right-click, and select Properties. Uncheck "Hidden." Close this window.
Once the files are copied, you've successfully transferred the music. However, you'll notice that the songs have four-letter names and are scattered among many folders. It's OK. Once you import the music into iTunes (or any other media player), the program will reinstate the titles of the songs.
I HOPE THIS HELPS! GOOD LUCK!!

How much ram and internal storage can my MacBook mc207LL/A handle?
Brantley M
It has 2 gigs of ram and I think only 250gigs of hard drive space. It's gettin slow and old. I can't afford a new one and was hoping I could upgrade it. I was wondering if it could handle as much as I want to put in it(as far as ram and internal storage) or if there's limits. And also if any ram or hard drive would work. Meaning, it doesn't have to be a "Mac" ram disk.

RAM Type: PC3-8500 DDR3
Min. RAM Speed: 1066 MHz
Supports 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM.
Standard RAM: 2 GB Maximum RAM: 8 GB*
Details:
2 GB of RAM is installed as two 1 GB modules, no slots free.
*Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM, but third-parties have confirmed that it actually supports 8 GB of RAM.
I just answered here about RAM:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111215054306AAZCd3f
Now, about HDD, replacing an HDD is tricky because you have to transfer data, confirm it is a match to form and size, and currently there is an HDD shortage in the industry and prices are rising. I really dislike a lot of the flaws about Apple. Very bad on value for price, low end of CPUs and external ports+slots, weak graphics GPU, and every upgrade bought directly from Apple is outrageous in price. But they are good hardware as reliable and Windows sucks compared to OSX.
Now, recommendation for an HDD regardless of the poor number of slots is a pluggable HDD by USB or port as this is not an old MacAir with the single hidden USB. Check Newegg, Tigerdirect, and if west coast US as far as Las Vegas Fry's in-store specials, and occassionally see something at an office store or warehouse club or walmart. Put large older less frequently accessed files on the external drive. Maybe move itunes and its library. That should free up your system HDD and can be done easy and reasonably cheap. It can be a portable pocket external or a big memory flash drive if you want it as faster speed access, or a desktop drive.
I don't like Apple for their huge profits on what they sell, but hope I gave you the info you needed.
