    I really need help moving my ipod music to my iphone. I do everything it tells me to do and it still doesn't let me. It says that this computer isn't authorized to play the songs. But this computer is where i bought them. Can someone please walk me through the steps to help me see whats I did wrong? Thanks

    Don't buy them on itunes, or get a itunes DRM unlocker.

    Google it. (itunes unlocker, itunes drm unlocker, itunes song free, etc/whatever)

    you have to authorize your computer...if uve already authorized 5, make sure to deauthorize one before you do this...go to Store>Authorize Computer...once your authorized with the account you bought the songs with, it should work

    btw helpful ipod tip: DONT try to turn on ur ipod to see if it works if u leave it in the washer... :-[

    Here is a guide that will let you dump the music onto your hard drive, from there, you should be able to transfer it to your iPhone. Just scroll down to the "Windows" section and follow the instructions. Some 3rd party apps are also displayed on that page, those could help too.

    YamiPod will let you unlock the songs if you want a quick and easy way to do it. Google it.

    What Insane said should work, however there's another way, that might be a little confusing.
    I've had to do this several times, because everytime one computer breaks down and we get another one, I have to transfer all the songs from an iPod to the computer, then to iTunes, because it doesnt let me Sync it with more than one computer at a time, unless I delete everything in it. Stupid right!?

    OK, so here are the steps:

    • Obviously, put your iPod in the computer you want the songs in
    • Open My Computer
    • Click on the iPod icon, or whatever shows up in there.
    • Click on the Tools option at the bar thing
    • Check the option to see Hidden Folders/Files
    • Click inside Music
    • All of your songs are in there, now just simply Copy/Cut & Paste them in your computer or directly to your iPhone in this case, if it works.
    Although they might have weird titles like SG64DS364 on your computer when you look at them, they show up exactly how they were on your iPod on iTunes, iPhone, or any other music playing software you have.

    Hope I helped ;)

    I believe if you hold down the center button and the menu button (maybe play) for 10 seconds that should restart your ipod. If you have an iPhone or an iTouch I'm not sure....
