Itunes got delted,songs still on ipod,how to get them back in itunes librar

my computer crashed so i had to redownload everything, now that i redownloaded itunes, and plugged in my ipod(all songs are still on ipod) how do i get them back into itunes library music section?

Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, click "cancel" when iTunes presents the dialog box offering to synchronize to the iPod. Or hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Hope this helps.

    Hello there, Capricious13.
    There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:

  • I had to format my computer, all songs are now gone, how to get them back?

    As the topiv says.
    When i locate the songs i have bought in iTunes Store, and try to download them, a message telling me i have to pay for it again shows up. When i try this option in iTunes Check for available downloads, it tells me that there is no available downloads.

    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • My computer crashed and I lost all my tunes. I have them on my ipod but need to know how to get them back onto itunes

    my computer crashed and I lost all but 2 albums in itunes. Is there a way to get into my old libruary? I have my tunes on my ipod.

    Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase.  Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

  • I had to restore IPAD to original settings and lost all magazine subscriptions. Do you know how to get them back? iTunes is asking me to pay for them again...

    I have an iPAD2 and an iPAD mini and tried to upgrade to IOS 7.0.6 but both froze and I had to restore to factory setting (backup also did not work!). I was able to get most of my purchased books and apps from iTUNES (through my computer) but lost all magazine subscriptions. iTUNES is asking me to pay for them again. Has anyone else had a similar problem and do you know how to restore the subscriptions without paying for them again?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the feedback. The applications were there but the magazines themselves could not be downloaded without paying... What I had to do was go in the application and find the "restore purchases" button. It was hidden within the account settings but it solved the problem!

  • Missing photos from Ipod, how to get them back?

    I have just bought Mac Book. My old computer Ibook G4 crashed and all my photos were only on the Ipod I had. I wanted to transfer them from the Ipod to the my new Mac Book.
    Unfortunately I only see my music but it is showing me 0 photos. Before connecting the Ipod the pictures were there.
    After I connect my Ipod for first time the very first massage was that there is a new software for my Ipod would you like it to install I clicked NO. I didn't see the photos then I updated it and again is the same.
    Is there a way to retrive my photos from the Ipod and put them on my Mac Book?
    I would appreciate any help.

    Hi,
    This post did it for me.

    And the direct link is here:

    It's a 20 buck solution, but if you really need those pictures it's definitely worth them.

  • I just got a new iPod nano, and I'm really excited about it, but I have a problem. A long time ago, I changed the email address on my account, and now all the songs from that account are gone. I don't know how to get them back. Can someone please help me?

    This is really frustrating, I've been trying to get my songs back for hours

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

    Hello~
         I also tried to remove "air." package name in air application. And i encounter the same problem.
         I do not find any solution to decode the xml inside res folder by AXMLPrinter2.jar. And those xml inside is compressed which is unreadable.
         However, what you can do is copying the structure of res folder. And go to your air sdk file path -  adobeair-sdk-folder/lib/android/lib/resources/
         Replace those file exists in your res folder. And copy "values" folder to your res folder.
         Hope this solve your problem~

  • I right clicked my iPod on iTunes and clicked restore from back up because i thought it would undo my IOS6 update. IT DELETED ALL MY PICTURES (2,000) AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM BACK!!!! Please help me!!!!!

    Well, if you have not backed them up, they are gone.
    Next time, when you have important material in only one place, back it up.

  • My iphone says I have 331 songs but only 139 can be played...where did the others go? How to get them back?

    The songs disappeared from two computers and are grayed in on my iphone...I cannot play 192 songs...how to get them back or how to delete them from my phone so I can start over?  I do not want icloud...I synced my phone to the computer and everything was fine for awhile...where did the songs go?

    Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

  • It appears my kid has erased my entire iTunes and iPhoto libraries.  Anyone know how to get them back?

    My kid has erased my entire iTunes and iPhoto libraries.  Does anyone know how to get them back?

    WIthout a backup of your data previously, they are all gone.
    The only option you have now is data recovery.
    You need to purchase, download, install and use a data recovery app like this.
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
    You need to completely stop using your computer ASAP, at this point and just run the data recovery app and let it do its thing.
    Every moment that you keep regularly using your computer risks rewriting new data in the locations where your deleted data may still reside.
    A very expensive and time consuming lesson to be learned here.
    Purchase and connect up a large capacity external hard drive (a drive larger than your Mac's internal hard drive) preferably a hard drive that uses FireWire 400/800 connection and use a data cloning app like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make yourself a exact, bootable copy of your Mac's internal drive to the new external hard drive.
    This will be your data backup drive.

  • HT4927 all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??

    all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??

    We do need more information to help. Are the images gone from your iPhoto library, or is the iPhoto Library missing? How and when did this happen?
    If images are missing from the library: Did you check for hidden photos? Did you check the iPhoto Trash?
    If the pictures are still in the iPhoto Trash, open the Trash, select the images and and press the liitle arrow in the lower right corner - select "Put back".
    If the pictures are still in an "iPhoto" folder in the system Trash (with sub folders named by date), import these folders to your iPhoto library.
    Have you checked, if you have opened the correct iPhoto Library? Launch iPhoto with the options key held down, to select another Library.
    If the entire Library is missing, have you searched for ".photolibrary" with spotlight?
    Do have a backup?
    If none of these easy measures helps, report back with more details - your iPhoto version, and anything else that might be helpful to find out, what the problem is. Don't do anything that changes the contents of your hard drive for now.

  • Ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?

    ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?

    If the movies were rentals then no.
    If the movies are purchases and you have the iTunes 10.4 then you should be able to access the 'cloud' option from in the main iTunes page  - purchases - (upper right corner) and go from there.
    You should also have the option to transfer purchases from the iPad back into iTunes. I don't have an iPad but you can transfer purchases from the iPod/iPhone back to iTunes.
