Importing music from an ipod onto a new computer

I've used a pc with my ipod since i got it.
now i got a macbook pro and want to import all the music from the ipod onto my itunes on the macbook. can someone tell me how i can do that?
thank you.

You can't take music from your iPod and put it on the computer. You can re-download the songs from iTunes (I think its free to re-download the song if you already bought it, but im not sure) or you could transfer all your music from your PC onto a flash-drive and then take the music from the flash-drive and download it to the Mac. Then on iTunes, you update your library and it should locate the new music.

Can I import music from my ipod onto a new computer without old comp.?

I have lost all my music and the itunes application from my computer and it was not backed up. The music is on my ipod classic but I'm worried I will not be able to add more onto it without the original itunes folder containing my music files. Won't it wipe over the stored tunes on the ipod if I sync the new itunes program containing only the new music I want to add?.

Hey there,
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
It would also be a good idea to re-authorize your computer. Hope this helps.

I am trying to put the music from my ipod onto my new computer. After installing itunes and connecting my ipod touch a message comes up saying that my ipod is already synced with another library. What can I do to sync it with a new library?

I recently got a new computer and got rid of my old one. I am trying to put the music from my ipod touch onto my new computer but keep getting a message saying that my ipod is already synced with a library and cannot be synced with more than one. How do I access that library on my new computer and if I can't are their other ways for me to put the music on my ipod into my new computer?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Can I put my music from my ipod onto a new computer without losing music?

I have had to recently get a new computer. I have iTunes downloaded. I would like to put the music that i have on my ipod onto the new computer. I am afraid to sync in that I will lose my music and have to redo my library and lose purchased music as well.
Is it possible to do it without losing music?

One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

HT1386 How do I get my music from my ipod onto a new computer? My old laptop broke so I can't get on to that one to "de-sync"..

How do I transfer music from my ipod to my PC without being able to access the old laptop which the ipod was previously synced to? My old laptop broke, and I want to sync my music and add everything to my new laptop, but if I try to sync my ipod with my new computer it says it is going to delete all my music. I tried looking at the apple help pages, and it said: First attach your ipod to the computer you want to disconnect from. Not possible in this case. What can I do?

I have an Ipod touch but I just got a new computer, how do I get my music from my ipod onto my new computer?

I just got a new computer and I want to transfer my music from my ipod touch to my new pc....how can I do this?

The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I just got a new computer, how do I put my music from my ipod onto my new computer?

I just got a new computer, how do I move my music from my ipod to my computer

for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
authorize iTunes on your new machine for your iTunes store account(s). connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

If you sync your ipod to one computer, then u sync it to another can you get the music from your ipod onto the new computer?

i had my ipod synced to one computer. Then that computer died. i want to add more music from another computer, but i dont want to lose my music now. how can i do this?

No. Music only syncs one way - computer to iPod. You would need to use a third-party utility to transfer music from the iPod to the iTunes Library such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac

Is there a way to transfer music from my ipod onto my new computer?

HT1209 How do I get my music from the ipod onto my new computer?

My ipod is synced with a computer that no longer works. p.s., my ipod was originally synced to a pc; my new computer is a mac running on osx 10.74

Sync is only oneway, from Computer to your device. Unless you have the music on your Computer, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. Check from iTunes for Mac forum.
