Can I move music from my ipod to my itunes?

My old computer crashed and all I have left from the music on that computer is what is on my ipod. Is it possible to transfer music from my ipod onto my new computer? If so, please let me know how in the easiest way you can. I'm extremely computer illiterate. Thanks!

To get the files into your library, you need to select the "Add to Library" command from the menus, then select the iTunes Music folder from the dialog box. iTunes will then go through the entire folder and add all the songs to it's index.
I don't have iTunes on this computer, so the command names may be slightly different.

    I know there are 3rd party programs for this.  Can it be done with iTunes?

    See this post for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
    iTunes itself won't help you, other than for purchases, but if everything is properly tagged and you're not bothered about playlists you can recover most things with Windows Explorer, then get iTunes to reorganize what has been recovered. Otherwise there are free tools as well as premium ones.

    Yeah! Click on your iPod when it shows up under "Devices" on the left side of iTunes while plugged in. Click on the music tab at the top and select "Manually Manage songs and playlists". Then click the arrow next to you iPod on under "Devices" and it will drop down "Music" "Videos" etc under it. Go to "Music" and select all your songs and drag them to the iTunes "Music" tab. They should copy over. Then you can go back and enable autosync.

  • How can I move music from my iPod to my new computer if my computer can't SEE the music from the source?!?

    I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
    When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up:  Calendars, Contacts and Notes.  I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
    When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer!  WHY?!?
    When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
    HELP, please.  I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
    Thanks in advance...

  • Can you transfer music from your iPod to your iTunes Library?

    I am an avid MTB and I have an iPod Nano 4G for when I'm biking around. But when I go on the road I have my 30G Video. The other day I got some songs from a friends computer and I am wondering if there is a way to transfer my music from my Nano into my library to put it onto my video? Is there any way to transfer music from my Ipod to my Library?

  • How can I move music from an iPod classic to my computer?

    I need to know how to transfer my 1800 songs in my iTunes on my iPod classic to my computer.

    If your music collection was purchased from iTunes, you are in a good shape since that music is forever yours under your iTunes account. Therefore, after installing iTunes on your new computer, sign into your account and see all your music under "Purchsed". Then simply download it to be phisically present onto your computer (for free since you've already paid for it). On the other hand if you happens to not be a sucker to waist money on iTunes and your collection was ripped from the internet (via torrents and such), you can follow this guide to move iPod music back to computer. Hope it helps.

  • How can I move music from my iPod touch to my new macbook.

    So here's the deal, I have been using my parents apple ID ever since I bought my first apple product. I have a TON of music stored up on their apple ID (Both cd's and iTunes music). I just got my own apple ID and have successfully transferred my music to my iPod touch. How can I move that music to my new macbook? The macbook is authorized for my parents apple ID and I can download the music that I bought from the iTunes store, but the problem is that I can't move the stuff originally from CD's. Most of the CD's are already trashed, lost, forgotten, and the only copy I have left is on my parents iTunes.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes library?

    Recently my previous notebook broke so that my whole iTunes library was deleted. Lucky me I have all my songs on my iPod and I didnt have any problems trasferring the songs I bought at iTunes to my iTunes library, but I don't know how to transfer the other songs.
    Is there anybody who can help me?

    iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer,
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) 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
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    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
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • How can i transfer music from my ipod to my itunes without deleting music

    I DONT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC FROM IPOD BUT I NO LONGER HAVE THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER THAT MY IPOD WAS SYNC'D TO AND NOW IT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC??? HOW CAN I AVOID THIS?

    iTunes will let you transfer your purchased songs from your iPod to your new iTunes as detailed here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    For the rest of your iPod music, you will need to use a third party program like TouchCopy to copy your iPod content onto your computer or straight to your new iTunes. There are free TouchCopy PC and Mac downloads available from here

  • How can I copy music from my ipod to my itunes library?

    I have an ipod nano with all my itunes purchases plus a bunch of music I put on from my old cds.  When I synced my ipod to my new computer it only synced my purchases, not my other downloads.  How can I get all my music onto my itunes library?  I'd even be happy to just add new songs and playlists to my ipod but not fully update the itunes library.  Can anyone help?
    The pod to pc programs online don't seem to work on my computer...

  • Can I transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes?

    I lost all of my songs that I had transfered to my iTunes from CDs,  but they're still on my iPod touch 5th generation.  Is there a way that I can transfer those songs back to my iTunes?  If so,  how?

    iDevices are not backup devices... restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.
