Many downloads like Ipod Access 4.4.1 For Mac may also include a serial number, cd key or keygen. If this is the case it is usually included in the full crack download archive itself. Otherwise you can try the serial site linked below. Again, substitute your iPod’s name for iPod’sNAME, using an underscore for any spaces in the name. This will copy the entire contents of your iPod’s Music folder into a new folder inside your home directory’s Music folder called iPodTunes. On Windows On the Windows side, you can also easily access your iPod’s hidden files. An iPod transfer, aka an iPod file/music manager, is a kind of software that permits the transferring of media files content between an iPod and a computer or vice versa. ITunes is the official iPod transfer software, but 3rd parties have created alternatives to iTunes for working around restrictions. Transferring music from an iPod to a computer is restricted by iTunes.
Let’s face it: iTunes can be kind of annoying to use. Though it is a familiar staple of the Apple ecosystem, it can have a lot of restrictions. For this reason, you may want to use some techniques that don’t involve iTunes to access your iPod and move your files. Believe it or not, this is possible.
iTunes - Limits and Restrictions:
One of the biggest complaints that people have about iTunes is that it is too restrictive. For example:
- It often doesn’t support non-purchased songs and other files.
- If you’re syncing, you can’t selectively choose what you’d like to sync and what you don’t want to sync.
- If you sync to your iPod, then you may lose data on your device, since it can be overwritten.
- Your iPod will be erased completely and replaced with the new library if your sync it to a different iTunes library.
- iTunes has a few annoying bugs, and though updating helps sometimes, other times there may be very few ways to get around them.
How to Access Your iPod Touch without iTunes
To access your iPod data without iTunes, you can use a third-party tool called iMyFone TunesMate. It’s an iOS manager that makes it easy to view your files and also transfer them to and from your iPod. It works on other iOS devices, too. Here are some of its great features:
- Free to access or manage iPod music, videos, photos, ringtones, audiobooks and other files on computer without iTunes.
- Transfer files from iTunes library or computer to your iPod without any data loss.
- Backup iPod files to computer, iTunes or external hard drive, including purchases and non-purchases.
- Two-way transfer between iPhone and computer, allowing previews and selections first.
- Share your iPod files with other devices, even if they don’t have the same Apple ID.
Simple Steps to Access iPod Files with TunesMate:
Note: TunesMate is compatible with iPod touch, but not iPod classic, iPod nano, iPod shhuffle.
Step 1: Download and install TunesMate on your computer. Open up TunesMate, and make sure that your iPod is plugged in to the USB port.
Step 2: Click on the Music tab at the top. (You can also choose Video, Photos or Apps tab.)
Step 3: On the main part of the screen, you will now see a list of the music on your iPod. You can toggle through different categories of music by clicking on the list of folders on the left sidebar.

How to Access iPod Manually without iTunes
Here is how to access your files directly from your computer folder:
Step 1: Plug your iPod into your computer. It will then appear as another drive.
Step 2: Go to your file browser and click on your device to open the main directory of your iPod.
Step 3: Click Tools > Folder Options, and click on the View tab. Under Advance Settings, click “Show hidden files and folders.” Depending on you version of Windows, these steps may vary somewhat. The general idea, though, is to show the hidden files and folders in that directory.
Step 4: Find the Music folder, which should now be visible.
Step 5: Copy this folder and paste it somewhere on your computer.
The main limit to this method is that you can’t view or preview the music. The music that you transfer from your iPod to your computer will have a strange name, and you will only know what song it is when you transfer the files to your iTunes library.
Hi,
Does anyone here know if it is possible to view and access whatever 'hidden' files may exist on an iPod Classic 160Gb, when that iPod is connected to an Mac Mini (OSX Yosemite 10.10.5)?
I already know that it IS (or was) possible when connecting the same iPod to a Windows Vista PC.
Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a working Windows PC, since I use a Mac Mini.
The 'hidden file' in question is the 'iPod Controls' folder which contains all of the song files on the iPod but apparently NONE of the info like names of tracks, artists, albums, genre, etc
This folder IS viewable AND accessible, if the iPod is connected using an Apple Charge & Sync cable, to the usb port on a Verbatim Wireless Mediashare device, and then the Verbatim device is connected (via its own wifi signal) to ANY iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, (or Android) device, or Windows pc, that has the Verbatim Wireless Mediashare app installed. You then just open the app on the iOS or android device, or Windows pc, and go into iPod controls, to find whatever music files you need access to.

ALL of these songs are then playable, and can also be cut & pasted and/or copied & pasted in either direction between the iPod Classic and any iOS or Android device (or windows pc) that has the Verbatim Wireless Mediashare device app installed.
But this causes a problem because ALL music files and the folders that they are in, are NOT named or organised as they are in iTunes, when accessing these music files on the iPod Classic from within 'iPod Controls', when using the Mediashare app on either the iOS device or windows pc. They have names like BBZQTRG.mpa or similar, so NONE of the 8700+ song files are individually identifiable.
I have not used the Android version of this app as I don't own or use any Android device.
The original music library that these songs came from was created (by importing EVERY SINGLE ONE of the 8700+ songs from cd's which I purchased in a music store) on a windows vista pc which I no longer have access to because it no longer exists - there fore neither does this music library.
I also no longer have access to 180-200 of the 350+ cd's used to import these songs since they 'went missing' (or were stolen) during a house move. Therefore about 3000+ songs are now only on my iPod Classic.
The reason for needing access to 'iPod Controls' on the iPod, is so that I can copy & paste ALL of these 8700+ songs onto my Mac Mini so they can be individually identified in order to find the 'missing' 3000+ songs in order to put them back into iTunes.

If the iPod is able to be connected to the Mac Mini - as an external storage device - I think that the 'iPod Controls' folder is still hidden.
