I just got a new computer for christmas:) :boink: and I want to move all the songs i had on my ipod to the new computer. How could I do this?

Connect them together via network cables or wireless network. Send the files.
From past experience doing this it can take anywhere from an hour to a day.

connect the computers?

he isnt going from computer to computer, hes going from ipod to new computer.

anyways, download itunes, then plug your ipod into the new computer and import.

easy.

Oh, well than just get itunes and copy all the files from your ipod to the new comp.

I misread it thinking it said comp - comp.

thats what i first tried but it wouldn't let me for some reason. so i had to go get my little 64 mb usb port and go from my new computer down to the old one copying the songs. i went up and back about 50 times

Google a program called sharepod. You put it onto your iPod, enable your iPod for disk use, take it over to the new comp, and run the program Sharepod to get songs from the iPod to the computer.

weird, maybe it needs to be formatted using your new computer?

Well, since your iPod transfer doesn't work, you can transport files from PC to PC with a Cat5 (http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-CABLE-UTP-4PR-SNAGLESS-A3L791-04-YLW-S/dp/B00006HUKA/sr=1-8/qid=1167460740/ref=sr_1_8/102-7946322-5622556?ie=UTF8&s=electronics) cable.

Connect the two computers by placing the Cat5 cable into each PC's ethernet port.

Find the folder you would like to transfer, right-click, and select "Sharing and Security...". Check "Share this folder on the network".

On the computer your transferring files from, go to Start > Run and type "cmd". In Command Prompt, type "ipconfig" and press enter. Note the computer's IP address.

On the computer that you want to transfer the files to, go to Start > Run. and type "//Other Computers IP address/" and press enter. For example, if the other PC's IP address was 192.168.1.101, then you would type in "//192.168.1.101/".

You may think that buying the cable isn't worth it, but it's always handy to have around, especially when you get a new computer and want to transfer a lot of files.
