Broken ipod-how do i get music on itunes?

My ipod touch fell,now the screen's broken. The touchscreen doesn't work at all, nor can i see anything(screen's black/blank).
Now i was wondering if there's a way to put my music from my ipod into itunes, because not all of it is on my mac..
I found some extractor utilities, however they don't work because my ipod is locked with a passcode (which i can't enter because of the broken screen).. So, is there any way of avoiding a restore and getting the music onto itunes?
Thanks

If itunes can see it, and you purchased the music from the itunes store, you can get it. Connect it to itunes, right click on your device, and select Transfer Purchases. I think that will work even though it's locked because it is the last computer it syn'd with.
[This support article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212] says: If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You don't want to restore it, but I'm wondering if that means you will at least be able to transfer purchases. I've never had to deal with passcode issues myself so maybe someone else will know for sure, but you could try it and see.

    itunes sync takes all music off iphone 4s onto pc. how do i get music from itunes on pc to the iphone 4s?

    Under your device in iTunes, you need to make sure you have "Sync Music" enabled on iTunes under the music tab to tell iTunes to move the music it has over to your iPhone.
    Take a look at this article for information on how to sync your iPhone using iTunes.

  • How do I get music from itunes into my slideshow in elements 10

    What is the procedure to get music from itunes into a slideshow in elements 10?

    If your music is in iTunes own format, you'll need to convert it first. Elements works best with .wav files. Here is the Apple article on making conversions:

  • HT1364 how do i get music from itune to htc one v?

    i tryed making a file on the music on my computer but when i went into it, it was empty

    Read the manual or user's guide for the device to determine how to put media on it.
    The media is on the computer, iTunes is merely a way to manage it.
    FYI, putting the media on the device has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes.

    my old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto iTunes on my new computer. It says it can only be synced to 1. but my old 1 is broken.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Keep in mind that the recovered photos will not be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down versions that were optimized in size and resolution to fit your iPod's smaller LCD screen.

  • How do I get music that is in my Itunes folder, i.e. my own music that was not purchased from the Itunes store, on to my ipod?

    How do i get music that i have put into my itunes folder, i.e. it was not purchased in itunes but from another source, onto my ipod?
    I have looked at a number of different discussions and none have given me the solution. 
    I have recently had to do a restore and all the music that was once on the device was wiped.

    Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

  • How do I get music from my iPod to computer

    My desktop computer crashed and needed to be re-formatted. Luckily, I had backed up all of my downloaded music on an external hard drive. Unfortunately, I did not have all of the music from CD's on my iTunes backed up.
    So in other words, I have an iPod with ALL of my songs...both downloaded and from music CD's. I have a computer with my downloaded songs. How can I get music (from cd's) from my iPod back to my computer? I no longer have all of the music CD's to just put them back on.

    iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers

    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

    You don't.
    You sync music from itunes on your computer to iphone.
    Everything that is on your Nano should be in itunes on your computer, as that is where it came from in the first place.
    Just sync whatever you like to your iphone.
