Backing up music from Ipod touch

Is there a way to backup music purchased from itunes on ipod touch to itunes? I just spent $2 buying a song on Itunes from the ipod touch and I synced it and it never showed up on itunes. Syncing it didn't show up on itunes. I had to do a restore and now it's gone.

Hi
In iTunes go
File > Transfer Purchases
I think this can be set to automatic somewhere as mine seems to ask if I want to straight away on connection.
Go to you purchase history and "report a problem" to try and get your song back.
Good luck,
Dud

    This is not a complicated problem. And you can easilly solve it. Here is the way about how to recover music from iPod.
    1 Connect your iPod to your computer to restore custom ringtones and ringtones saved to the computer.
    2 Click the "iPod" button in iTunes, or select your iPod in the sidebar if you enabled the option to show the sidebar.
    3 Select the "Tones" tab, check the box for each ringtone you want to transfer to your iPhone, and then click "Sync."

    how to transfer music including purchased music from ipod touch to my computer running windows 7

    Hi, dphoward525
    If you've purchased the music from itunes, when you plug the iPod in to the pc, it'll ask if you want to transfer purchases to the computer. Due to the restriction ,we can only transfer our music from PC to iPod , but not transferring from iPod to PC if you’ve not purchased them .In this case, transferring your files from iPod to computer can be a hassle , I think you will need a practical third-party solution . In order to find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer, you need to seach more information on the internet.

  • Transferring music from iPod Touch to iTunes?

    Hi--
    I was going to put iOS 5 onto my iPod touch, but iTunes mentioned that I could lose all my data. Over half of the songs I have on my iPod are not on my computer, as I lost a large amount of it when my other hard drive died a while ago. They were not iTunes purchases, so I can't automatically put them back into iTunes.
    I found this tutorial: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1329 on the Apple support for putting music into iTunes from an iPod, but it specifies that it doesn't work with the iPod touch. Has anyone found a solution to this? All I've seen so far are $20 converting-type programs that generally have iffy reviews. It seems odd that Apple would provide a solution for this problem for everything but the iPod touch.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your answer, you were really helpful. It was such a great use of my time to read it, and the information you provided was very valuable.
    Unfortunately, as I am studying abroad in France right now, I had to leave my back up at home. I decided not to mention that, as that was extraneous information as far as the question goes, as well as the fact that I don't want to risk shipping my external hard drive, nor do I want to wait a year before upgrading to iOS5. I was merely wondering if anyone who had encountered this as well had any helpful suggestions -- i.e., free programs they used, or if there was a way of accessing the iPod touch through finder.
    Thanks again, though, for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.

  • How do I transfer music from ipod touch

    My iphone is new and has no music.
    My computer crashed a while back and I lost my music.
    All my music is on my iPod touch.
    How do I transfer it back to my iPhone &/or computer?
    Both my iPhone and iPod are showing in my iTunes and I can even play the music from my iPod.
    But I don't seem to be able to either drag & drop, or copy & paste my music.
    Syncing only warns me I will replace the music on my ipod, WHICH I DONT WANT TO DO.
    Help please!

    There are a few programs out there that allow you to transfer your music from your iPod to your computer, but I believe you have to pay for most of them. Here is a link to a program I know of:
    http://www.digidna.net/tuneaid/
    There are other programs out there that will do the same thing, so I would start doing some searches on google and see what you find. I also found this article on Apple's website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329

  • Cannot delete music from ipod touch, tried everything suggested thus far.

    I have tried several suggestions up to this point and nothing has worked. It is my understanding that everything in My Music, (on my PC) transfers to the iTunes program, either manually or automaticlly. It is also my understanding that if I add or delete music from iTunes, that it will automatically be added or deleted on my iPod Touch, (4th gen). Well, none of this has proven to be true...at best, it is sporatic and frustrating. Any new ideas out there?

    Buy doing what?...
    You need to be more specific about what you are trying. "I've tried several suggestions" tells us nothing. You've tried my suggestion (but I made two - dependant upon what you are doing), but you haven't told me how you are managing your iPod, are you using Sync or manually managing? Without that knowledge, everything else is meaningless.
    If you are using Sync, and you have selected *Sync only ticked songs and videos,* then un-ticking a song and then performing a Sync will remove the song. So what are you doing?

  • How do I sync music from ipod touch to computer.

    I have 5.5GB of music on my ipod touch that I copied from my own cd's to an old computer that are now on my ipod touch.  I want to sync the music from my ipod touch to my computer.  itunes lists all the music but a message comes up when I try to listen to it on my computer saying "this song cannot be used because the original file cannot be found.
    I have all the music on my ipod touch and it all works and I don't want to lose it if I sync.  It says when I sync that all music on my ipod touch will be lost, it will only sync with the music on the computer.  HELP.

  • Is there anyway to pull back deleted photos from ipod touch?

    My son just deleted some of his photos from his ipod and he wants them back.  I have no idea if this is possible.

    Deleted what photos?
    Photos taken with the ipod?  If so, then no you cannot get them back,  unless you had synced ( and therefore backed up) the ipod when the pics were on the device.  Then you may be able to restore to that backup.

    I recently got a new PC and I am trying to transfer all of my music from my iPod touch (my old computer is in a different country so I can no longer access it) to my new PC. I know that I can transfer iTunes purchases, but many of my songs are from hard copies of albums or were downloaded from Amazon - is it possible to transfer all of these from iPod to iTunes?
    Any help appreciated!
