  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.

  NEW Super Rescue Playlist

  We now have a "Super Rescue" playlist. This shows up as another playlist and contains the same list of tracks as shown on the device itself. This is available for devices running iOS 5.0 or later. more…

  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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why can't iRepo find my iPod?

iRepo requires your iPod to be set for manually music management (this does not apply to iPad, iPhone or iPod touch devices). To set this, please follow these steps:

1. Connect iPod to your computer using either your cable or Dock.
2. Open iTunes.
3. When/if iTunes asks you if you want to auto update, click the "Cancel" button.
4. Select iPod in the Source list in iTunes.
5. In iTunes, select the option to "Manually manage music".
6. Click the "Apply" button.

If the above doesn't resolve the iPod detection issue, please try right-clicking on the iRepo icon and select "Run as Administrator" from the popup menu.

Why do I get the error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)" when trying to run iRepo?

This error indicates you don't have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installed. Please download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 from the Microsoft website.

Why am I getting error "Unable to load DLL 'iTunesMobileDevice.dll"?

This error usually indicates that iTunes is not installed or is installed incorrectly. If iTunes is already installed, please uninstall it and then download the latest version from the Apple website and install it. If iTunes is not currently installed, please install the latest version fromt he Apple website.

What is the difference between iRepo, TuneJack and iGadget?

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.

Is iRepo compatible with my iPod?

iRepo works with all iPods as well as the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

Why does iRepo report error 80080005 and none of my songs get transferred to iTunes?

This error can indicate a number of things. First of all, be sure you don't have any dialog windows open in iTunes. iTunes must be sitting at the main window with no dialogs open.

If that doesn't help, this error can indicate that there is a problem with the iTunes installation on this computer. Reinstall iTunes and then try transferring just one or two songs with iRepo. If that goes good, you can then go ahead and transfer all your songs.

If that does not help, try right-clicking on the iRepo icon and select "Run as Administrator" and see if that works.

Why am I getting message "iRepo has stopped working"?

This is due to a Windows Vista security issue. This has been resolved with release 2.1. Please update to the latest version to resolve the issue on your system.

Why does iRepo 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 sees the songs but after telling iTunes not to sync with the iPod, the songs in iRepo disappear?

This is due to a recent change with iTunes. What you'll want to do is the following:

1. Connect the iPod to your PC
2. When/if iTunes asks you if you want to auto update, click the "Cancel" button
3. Select the iPod in the Source list in iTunes
4. In iTunes, check the "Manually manage music" checkbox and then click the "Apply" button.
5. Wait a few moments and the iPod songs should now appear in iRepo

You are now ready to use iRepo with the iPod.

Released: June 25, 2009

• Updated to work with iPhone/iPod touch 3.0 firmware. iTunes started storing song information on the iPod touch and iPhone differently with the release of the 3.0 iPhone and iPod touch firmware.

In prior versions, this special playlist was excluded from the playlist listing. This version now includes this special playlist.
