Last week, many friend had asked about how to share the videos/music/photos
sources on their iPod or backup the files on iPod to PC. Because of the financial crisis, they need
cut down the expenses. Here I'd like to share an easy way for everyone to transfer files from iPod
to your computer, then you can load to other devices.

You see the people over at Apple are very concerned about privacy and copyright laws so they have made it very difficult to transfer music or other files from your iPod to Computer or between different iPod devices by simply using iTunes. I cannot blame them for this concept as the music industry is suffering dearly from all the free downloadable music around these days. However how is someone like me supposed to recover their lost files and transfer songs and videos from the iPod back onto the computer?


How to transfer songs, videos from iPod to your computer ???

Step1: After your iPhone/iPod/iTouch connected to pc, Launch the program you will see the right UI. Normally, the program will search the device automacially.If the device is enabled, the files (songs/movies/pics) will be shown in the list. You also can click the "Rescan" button to search the device again.

Step2: From this list, you can now select and checkmark the files you want to back up. Or you can click "Open Folder" and choose one or more song / video files.

Step3: "Settings" which can be found on the panel of the main window. You can select the backup folder, sub folder create, copy rule and language. You can backup all files you select by clicking "Select all".
Step4: Click the "Start Transfer" button. That's it! The files are now backed up to your computer.

Step5:: If you want to stop, you can click "Stop".

Step6: When the transferring finished, the following window will pop up. It shows that how many files have been done. You can click the Yes button to view the output files.​
