I have over 5000 songs on my ipod and can not see a way of keeping them if I want to set up a new itunes libary. I want to add my tunes from my ipod to a new itunes libary without it saying it will wipe what I already have. please help

Hi everyone.
I had an itunes account for my classic and a few months ago wanted to add my daughters ipod to it. it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account and asked me if i wanted it to link her ipod and delete the current libary. like a fool i said yes. now i have a party comming up and cant plug my classic in without it saying if i sync it will wipe my 6000 songs and leave me with the new blank itunes that i have just set up.
what i want to do is add my 6000 songs to a new apple id libary/itunes without it wiping all my songs. does anyone know how to do this.
help thanks

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true.  You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

  • HT203167 Can not see purchased movies in my re-download list when I set up a new laptop. Any advice on getting them back?

    normal laptop was stolen along with the normal backup hard drive that was hidden away in a seperate room, Got a new laptop and using my itunes id, tried to re-download some of the tunes to get going again, but none of the movies are on the list to be downloaded.
    What do I need to do to get this available again?
    Thanks

    Re-downloading of movies are available at this time only in the US, and even in the US not all movie studios have granted permission. If you don't see your movies available in the Purchased list, then they cannot be re-downloaded. Without a backup, you may have to purchase your movies again, but you can contact the iTunes Store, explain that your backup was also stolen, and ask if there's anything they can do for you. Go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

    My iPhone 5s (16GB) is stuck with 3948 photos (shown on the iTunes storage bar) on and I can not find a way to delete them all! It's very annoying as it takes up 6.54 GB of space and leaves me no room to add films, music...etc on to it. Please help me!!! I have already tried the numerous articles Apple have sent my way and I am still having no luck.I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could find a solution for me as this has been a problem for almost a year. Thank you.

    If they were put there via iTunes sync process, then simply untick the Music box before syncing again.

  • I can't hear the music on my IPOD 60Gig 5th generation and can not see my videos

    I can not hear the music, I can not see the videos on my IPOD 5th generation. I have restored it to the original settings and it still does not work.

    That's likely an indication or one or more hardware failures of the iPod. You'll want to get the iPod serviced in order to gain full functionality of it again or start saving for a new iPod.

  • My iTunes 11.0 (mac) has a black background colour and I can not see all of the information.  How do I change the background colour in iTunes 11.0 (mac)

    My iTunes 11.0 (mac) has a black background colour and I can not see all of the information for each song.    How do I change the background colour in iTunes 11.0 (mac) so I can see check boxes etc.  My download window shows no information, it is entirely black.

    Someone else in the forum told me how to do this.  If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode.  If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it.  It is freeware and used to help maintain your system.  Good luck

  • HT201303 How do I get my security passwords I have forgotten them and can not get envy thing with out them

    How do I get my security passwords I have forgotten them and can not get envy thing with out them

    Fastest way is by contatcing support. This is because youc an't reset the questions on your end if you forgot the original answers.
    https://expresslane.apple.com/
    Follow these steps:
    All Products and Services > iTunes > iTunes Store > Account Management > iTunes Store account security
    Answer the questions and if required sign in with your Apple ID and password - same one you used to log in on this support forum.
    You will find an option to send an email to Apple on that page. Indicate that you forgot the answers to your security questions and wait for iTunes support to reply.

  • IPod 4th gen has lots of lines over screen looks like bar codes and can't see display?

    My step sons iPod I just a year old but for about 3 months it's been coming up with lots of lines on screen looks like bar code. Now he can't see anything on screen due to his. He has not been on it for a while as he has a 2nd one from his mum but I forgot to check this out before warranty ran out.
    I have tried system re boot, I thought it was due to him charging it with USB on xbox360.
    Can someone please help

    - Try restoring the iPod from backup.
    - If not successful then restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    - If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Hi Larry,
    It should be easy.
    I assume Sharing is setup on the PCs?
    Find IP on computers...

    On the Mac In finder, select Go menu>Connect to Servers, use the Browse button there, or..., type in the IP of a computer, like...

  • I have plugged my ipod 4th gen into my computer to reset it, and after agreeing to the trems a window pops up saying " it cannot restore your ipod. check your network settings or try again later. i dont know what to do! please help

    hello. my ive been trying to restore my ipod touch 4th gen because it was frozen on the apple logo. i got it to go to the connect to itunes image. i plugged it into my computer to try and restore. i open itunes and it says "you must restore this ipod to use itunes". i click ok and then i accept the terms. after that it shows that it will take 41 mins to restore, but then it says "we connot restore this, there was a problem. it also says to check your network connections or try again" my network connetions are on and its still not working! please help

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • I can see songs on my iphone but can not see them in itunes

    I have the IOS 7 and iphone is a 4.  I can see songs on my iphone but cannot see them on itunes.  I want to be able to see them so that I can move them to a playlist. 
    thanks for any help.

    If i have to restore my phone, I would loose data. At the momen, that's a last resort to me as everything works fine apart from this music problem.
    Is there a way to fix the database? I can see the music is on my phone with iTunes so it is there in one form or another ...but I can't play it
    Has anyone had the same issue?
    Are there any suggestions?
    If i call Apple support would they be able to help?

  • I uploaded a song on my ipad and can't see it on my mac itunes

    I purchased some songs on my iPAD through my iTunes account but don't see them on my iTunes account on my MacBook.

    Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, or are you manually managing music and videos with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?
    If the latter, it is manual all the way. You must manually transfer the music purchases from your iPad. With your iPad connected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad.
    If the former, the music should be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPad with iTunes after purchasing music with your iPad.

  • TS1441 why does my ipod keep showing the itunes thing after I restored it three time what should I do please help!

    I need help why does my ipod keep saying connect to itunes,I have already restored it 7 times what to do now.HELP ME!

    If the restores were successful, that is completed all steps without errors then:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
