Transfer iPod songs and videos to Mac with Senuti

Senuti is a useful Mac application for transferring songs, playlists, or videos from your iPod back to your computer. In the event that you lost your iTunes library or you got a new Mac and want to transport songs to it with your iPod. Below is the step by step tutorial about how to use Senuti to transfer your iPod songs.

1. Free download Senuti.

Note: The lastest version of Senuti is no longer free and cost $18. If you are looking for a free app that does the same thing, check out FreeSync.

2. Install Senuti. Drag the Seunti application to your Applications Folder. Drag Senuti into your dock or save a copy on your desktop if you wish. Eject the Senuti disk image and clear your download folder.

3. Make sure you have iTunes. Plug your iPod into your computer.

4. In the iPod settings window in iTunes, set your iPod to "Manually manage music and videos" in iTunes.

5. Open Senuti. Songs with a note or dot next to them are already in iTunes. However if you changed song information separately in your iTunes library or your iPod, it will think the same song is two different ones.

6. Go to "Preferences" and then "Copying" in Senuti. Choose the iTunes Music Folder as the "Save Location" for copied music. Otherwise two copies will be created of each song. (This will take up unnecessary hard drive space.)

7. Highlight songs (hold down the Command key/shift and click on them or press Command key-A to highlight everything) and drag them to the text "iTunes". You can also drag and drop playlists from your iPod into "iTunes".

8. Make sure all the songs look normal and that there are no double copies.
