Recover from computer crash
If you've lost all your songs and videos on your computer due to a computer crash, iRepo gives you the ability to copy the songs and videos back from your iPod/iPad/iPhone. This is impossible using iTunes alone.
Load songs onto new computer
When buying a new computer, iRepo makes it possible to easily transfer your songs to your new computer from your iPod/iPad/iPhone.
Copy songs from any iPod, iPhone or iPad
iRepo gives you the ability to copy songs onto your computer from any iPod, iPad or iPhone. If your friend has songs you would like, you can connect their iPod/iPhone/iPad to your computer and transfer over all the songs you don't have.
How it works
You simply start up iRepo and connect your iPod, iPad or iPhone. iRepo will then display a listing of all the songs on the device in a very easy to use interface much like the browser interface in iTunes. You select which songs you want and click a button to start the transfer process.
What is the difference between iRepo X and iGadget X?
These products all fill slightly different needs. We have a
detailed comparison of these products to help you select the application that best fits your needs.
Why does my Mac freeze after transferring some songs?
This can be due to anti-virus and/or firewall software interfering with the transfer process. Please disable any anti-virus/firewall software when doing the song transfer.
Is iRepo X compatible with my device?
iRepo X works with all iPods as well as the iPhone, iPod touch and
iPad.
Why does iRepo X start transferring some songs ok then starts having problems with the remaining songs?
This is caused by the same issue as the question below. Please read the answer to that question.
Why, when I first connect an iPod, iRepo X sees the songs but after telling iTunes not to sync with the iPod, the songs in iRepo X disappear?
This is due to a recent change with iTunes. What you'll want to do is the following:
- Connect the iPod to your PC
- When/if iTunes asks you if you want to auto update, click the "Cancel" button
- Select the iPod in the Source list in iTunes
- In iTunes, check the "Manually manage music" checkbox and then click the "Apply" button.
- Wait a few moments and the iPod songs should now appear in iRepo X
You are now ready to use iRepo X with the iPod.
iRepo X doesn't recognize my iPod. What's wrong?
The iPod has to have disk mode enabled (this does not apply to iPad, iPhone or iPod touch devices). You can do this manually by following the instructions in
this Apple article.
How can I easily select all the songs on my iPod?
Move the mouse over the song list and do a control-click on the mouse (or right-click if you have a two button mouse). A menu will popup. From this menu, select "Check All".
